Season 2 Of FMP

Anyone got any real indepth reviews of the eps so far? I have heard it's a little more slapstick at the beginning than the first season which only really got serious 5 eps in or so. But I'm hoping it answers a lot of the questions left at the end of the first series (many say the second half of that was crap since the first half was based on the mangas).

I still need to see the first season.

You can get it for forty bucks in the States, I've got it all fansubbed somewhere though.

Good that they started a new series, the ending isn't all that great, but you'll love the humour and the first half of the first season for sure.

You can't get it ALL for $40, the first DVD alone runs for $20.

You can't?

Oh... balls.

See, I am one of those silly little people who like to buy legit copies, so that companies continue to release anime in the United States.

I'm pretty sure I saw this as an import possibly, ah well, maybe it was a dream.

Oh she's hot, she's also a bit of a bitch at times too, but she has a holier-than-thou complex I guess.

I'm probably going to regret asking this, but what's FMP?

Full Metal Panic. Mecha/comedy series, ADV release in the States. This summer's big thing, so to speak. Haven't seen it either.

The first half of the first season is seen as the best since it's based on the original novels and manga. The second half, well, Gonzo can do animation but they can't write a story worth shit, hence my eagerness for a sequel.

It seems like Gonzo productions tend to go sour when they deviate too much from the source material. Those last few episodes of Hellsing...*shudders*

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2003-09-18 10:19pm

Oh, I see. I know what Full Metal Panic is. I just didn't connect the abbreviation to it...

Spanky, you silly.

FMP has a large military influence, for anyone who cares

I like how the class nerd (called Shinji) has all those Jane's Armour Slave technical journals.

I say the both halves were crap. Boring humor, boring characters, boring plot, boring fights, uberboring main villain.

Hmm. A mecha thread involving something military that Shep has not yet barged into and decided to bash repeatedly. I suppose anything is possible.

I'd gibe it 3.5/5 stars for the first half and 2.5/5 for the second, myself, though some might call me a though judge.
