Ezekiel's Full Metal Panic! Tv Review
Rated:
Do we have a long history of shows like this? No, not that I know of. Even though its elements are simple in their strength, I'm also pleased to report the originality that they sport. The central commodity of the show (The Whispered) is a completely fly concept which I don't think I've seen anything quite like- and it's a fantastic chance to show off the eye candy which Gonzo is somewhat notorious for. Sure, you might complain that some of the characters are stereotypical, but I would dispute that. They're not stereotypes. If you saw one of them in a dark room, you could <i>mistake</i> them for a stereotype, but the main purpose of some of the common anime stereotypes (Excessively violent and tomboyish? Chidori?) are to be funny. And they are.

I'm not a big fan of mechas (most of the stories I've seen are just boring for me). But this series have a nice touch that clings on to my attention. Of course, my favorite season is Fumoffu, 'cause it's the funniest and the cleverest. I always enjoy when is a series make fun of common places and cliches in the world of anime, so I had quite the treat here: with Subaki Isei, with the rugby team, with the Mikihara group... It's just common sense, right? Why all the fuzz and the waste of time if things can be actually so simple xD?

The funniest anime I've ever seen! It's the story of a boy, Sosuke Sagara, trained from childhood as a soldier, who is
to attend a normal school to defend a girl, Chidori, from the aims of an evil organization. Accustomed to the
battlefields, Sosuke sees in every banal situation of everyday life dangers and conspiracies that don't exist, inventing
extreme solutions that lead to an inevitable hilarity, very original! Sosuke is so hopelessly plagiarized as to be
adorable and Chidori is the first girl I've seen in an anime with such a strong personality!
SOSUKE SAGARA: "I am a model, I merge with nature becoming one with it. I think I have to disguise myself
somehow."
Funny as well as intriguing. An excellent mixture of comedy and action. (to sum it up shortly) But it definitely is worth the time, considering the feasible and quite realistic setting (of course, in an alternate timeline), if you disregard the Black Technology for a bit. All in all, it's a good series for anyone looking for some mecha action or comedy.
jakuro rated 8.00:There isn't a tag for Full Metal Panic! FUMOFFU, I assume its the same thing, but I know there is a serious version of the series, and a non-serious version. I have completely seen the silly one... And let me tell you, nearly every episode had me holding my gut. Especially the one with the ponytails. Sousuke Sagara is a complete riot to have in a normal school building.
HurtHattori rated 9.00:Chidori and Sousuke are one of my favorites anime couples ever :P. I loved the mix between action and comedy, and I'll still watch some episodes from Full Metal Panic! : Fumoffu! when I'm down in order to laugh out loud.
