Well I don't know about you guys but Full Metal Panic absolutely is one of my favorite anime's of all time. I suggest you look into it unless you already have. The first season DVD's are on the NA market and the Second season (fumoffu) is up on fansub. You probably know all this already

I thought the same when I started watching FMP but by the end I hated every bit of it... Fumoffu rules though

Actually the second season/fumoffu has been licensed by ADV films so many of the fansub groups have probably stopped distro by now. |

yeah? i might have to look out for the dvds then - its not often that i get a series on dvd, usually just the films occasionally - but fumoffu rates high enough
The only other "series" i have on DVD is FLCL and the only other onw i would be looking to buy is Tsukihime or possibly GitS:Sac - only the creme de la creme of my fav's deserve DVD's purchased  _________________

| I really liked Fumoffu cause it was a pretty good comedy, though I enjoy FMP also, but not as much~ |

| I wanna see it! ^^ I think when I first seen an AMV for it, I really liked it. XD So, I wanna see the series now. From what I have picked up, it's either a series you really like, or dont like at all. Figuring that, I'd problibly be one of those people liking it a lot. ^^ |

| I want to see another season that finds a perfect balance between the comedy aspects of fumoffu and a great storyline. I read somewhere a long time ago that another season was possible but i haven't heard anything about it since... anyone know anything about it? |

I think it's very probable that we'll get another season - FMP has become quite a major franchise in Japan with books, mangas, anime shows, etc. However if storyline = mecha I'd rather it doesn't have a story at all, since anything mecha-related in the first season sucked  |

| I didn't like the designs of the mecha in the 1st seasons. What was more interesting I felt were the characters; their relationships and background. I did find the first 9 episodes of the 1st season entertaining, reminds me of die-hard on a plane. |

u guys wouldnt blieve me if i say this but my fiend actually like the first season better cuz it has a story line. i still dont no y they only make 21 eps. for fumoffu. It would b so much better if they made it like 100 eps or something, ok may b that a lil 2 much my b 2 seasons is reasonable. i hope they make another season. fumoffu n GTO prob. the funniest anime ive ever seen, 2 bad they both kinda short n the ending kinda baka. |

Some people think so... but they should know better A show doesn't need a storyline to be great and in FMP it was so bad it hurt. |

i havnt finished watching the first season, but its ok so far (im at around ep 16 or so). Fumoffu was excellent. even caught on wit my anti-otaku friends ^^
im not sure if this was made before or after the shows, but iv seen a Full Metal Panic! manga recently show up at borders. i sat down to read it, and was suprised to see both the first season and fumoffu in it. it has the hilarity of fumoffu while retaining the storyline of the original series. having only read the first volume, i cant say much more except that i like it. _________________

| Full Metal Panic was great until after the Goliath battle, then it just felt like reruns. I've never seen Fumoffu, I may though, maybe they can redeem themselves for the bad ending. |
