Full Metal Panic Q and A thread

[Kappy]

i know this isnt a good place for it, but figured making a new thread would be worse. i just wanted to thank kj1980, your FAQ on the novels cleared alot of questings that have been bugging me to death for a while now.

as far as the post above me, since i dont believe it counts as a spoiler, i just rewatched episode 7 from the first series, and what i saw is that the things clamping the knife were actually part of the retractable mouthpiece, and after the knife was dropped, it looked just like the ARX-7 does in TSR. So i can only assume that the knife was never remounted(since odds are it was mounted there as some form of storage technique maybe?

oh that and the ARX-7 has two more knives, one in a compartment on each hip.

thanks for clearing that one Kappy!

OK to something more advance and very spoilerish about the novels...

Hope this is the right forum for this, BTW.

Spoiler:

If you don't want to be spoiled don't open this.

THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING!!

Spoiler:

Anyways about VOLUME 17: "Moeru One Man Force" that was posted by kj1980 in http://forums.animesuki.com/showthre...t=26478&page=2


I just wanted to know what is Wraith's motive for acquiring the "ARX-8"?

I'm also wondering whether any of you here has an idea on what the "ARX-8" would look like? A modifed version of the M9D (the black one used bu Uruz 1), perhaps or will it be a further modification of the ARX-7?

Well sorry for giving another question without being able to yours, but this is also advanced and has to do with the novels since.. obviously they are released in english at the same time and all i know is from summaries until its translated.
SPOILER
i dont understand how to use that spolier system.. sorry, i was just wondering has mithril been formally disbanded because of the attacks? and if so, were all of the western pacific fleet killed? because in the one summary i thought i saw the TDD-1 escaping. Oh yeah, and what about Lt. Cm. Kalinidi's apparent betrayal? was it really a betrayal and was he found out?

Hey, guys!

When i asked of the novel´s translation, people just told me that, if i could understand japanese, i should go to amazon and by the novel. Today, i was searching on the net for any information about the novels and i found out a site (http://www.nippon-export.com) that sells japanese mangas, cd´s, dvd´s and other stuff (including all of the FMP novels) and you don´t need to know any of japanese, because the site is in english.

That´s good for fans who´d want to buy the original stuff or live in countries that amazon doesn´t deliver, like me, in Brazil

Hope this was useful for u!

Ian

does anyone know what the above japanese is saying ?

[Bob from Walmart]

Heres a question for ya, Who is that girl with the red hair and green eyes in russia that we see being rescued by sagara sosuke and the other uruz team.

At first i thought it was Chidori but she has blue hair and like brown eyes, plus the first time she sees sosuke is at school.

I was just wondering if there is a story behind that girl that we see at the start and if they metioned it from before or somewhere later, i dont read the manga but i still kinda am curious about who that girl is and what was her story, and if it was chidori how come she doesnt remember, and even if it was chidori it wouldnt make sense cause she has pictures of her when she was younger with blue hair and brown eyes.

[T.V.]

The show implies that she's a Whispered, just like Chidori and Tessa.
Other than that nothing revealed in the show.

Maybe the novels go a bit more in detail, but I honestly don't know.

will there be a Full Metal panic 3?! because i remember during the ending of TSR it said to be continued. . . or smth like that.......

[Crucifix]

Well.......FMP:TSR is considered the third season, if there will be a fourth season, It would be based on the next novel Odoru Very Merry Christmas, which will reveal some huge leaps in the Sousuke X Kaname relationship, there are a lot of novels in line, you should check out kj1980's thread on information regarding FMP or you could read up on the novels here:

http://boku-tachi.net

As you can see, there are a lot of materials left to cover in the FMP world, I myself am supporting this series by buying their DVD's when they come out as I want to see more of this story animated.

Right now, there's still no official announcement, we can only hope.

[grss1982]

Just read chapter 4 of FMP: COMO and I was wondering........

Spoiler:

Dont do it if you dont want to be spoiled.

Spoiler:

Am I reading too much about this bit of conversation between. "Wraith" and Sagara:

BTW, its from FMP: COMO, Chapter 4b, Page 16

Seems to me that from the way "Wraith" reacted to Souske's sarcastic answer she seems to have a close connection with Chidori or something?

So it got me thinking: Is it possible that "Wraith" could be Chidori's mom, aunt or even sister or some distant relative who cares for her?

Or am I just imagining things and in fact those two (Chidori and "Wraith") have a YURI thing going on behind Souske's back?

BTW Wraith looks reall HAWT.

Spoiler:

KISAMAAAAA!!
I'll say it again dont open this if you don't want to be spoiled....

Spoiler:

[Crucifix]

I would assume that Wraith is having some sympathetic feelings for the two, she saw their hardships in TSR, and now this........it seems like the whole world is against them. I think I read somewhere that Wraith is of korean or chinese descent so she can't be a relative of either one, well not by blood at least.

[xpecter]

I'm new to this forum so I dont know if this topic has be'en her before...
But does anyone know if and when DVMC (A Dancing Very Merry Christmas) is coming as an anime ?

[Crucifix]

Still no news....sorry.

[Kaname Chidori]

jejeje you make me laught with the spoilers jeje for the question you make about Wraith she has become Kaname's friend you can see it in a Dancing Very Merry Christmas chapter 1b page 19

[AlanWan881]

Do you guys know that the production of the novel after "Burning One Man Force" is already in progress ? Its name is something like "Together Make My Day".

Spoiler:

Sousuke was seriously injured and had spent 45 days in hospital before he could move. But he had already lost the quick and sharp sense that he once had. Tessa and the rest of the Tdd-1 members have started to take revenge too.

[Crucifix]

Wow! That's a nice info AlanWan.

Spoiler:

What do you mean by he lost his quick senses? Did he became paralyzed? Blind in one eye? Can't move a few fingers? Brain damage?

Spoiler:

He had been lying on the bed for too long that he kinda lost his agility. If i remember correctly. He was shot in the chest and of coz A LOT OF BLOOD splashing everywhere.

[AnimeBento]

Poor Sousuke!!

Spoiler:

Please tell us more about the novel ... especially the revenge bit.
- Why are they taking revenge? Is it for Sousuke?
- I suppose Chidori is still missing then ...
- 45 days ?? I want to know how the crew reacted!

How did you happen to know about this novel? Damn ... it'll be years before we get to read this novel. So I'm taking anything you can give me.

[Kaname Chidori]

I don't know how to put a spoiler here but I have two images about Tsudou Make My Day this story is going to be interesting
