thats never happened with an anime for me. i just need closure. i need it!!!!!!!

[velvet nightmare]

the novel that follows from TSR should provide about 50% closer

it did for me at least, it got rid of the doubts etc etc

it's a light read, should be so bad

skimming through it only reading important dialogues should only take like 1 hour?

A Dancing Very Merry Christmas (Odoru Very Merry Christmas).

Spoiler for One of the most "important" dialog of this novel:

Sousuke and Tessa are alone in the hand of a falling "Arbalest".

Staying silent became painful, so she asked.
"Mr. Sagara?"
"Yes?"
"Do you like Kaname?"
"...probably, yes."
"More than me?"
Sousuke's cheeks tensed up. But at the end of his hesitation, he answered clearly.

"Yes."

She had known it, but she felt like she had been hit in the back of the head. But that was only natural. Sousuke Sagara was not the type of man who would be wishy-washy and at loss for words when something was presented clearly to him. That was his appeal. That- was the harsh reality.

Tessa hid her eyes, and mumbled, "You say that very bluntly, don't you..."
"I'm sorry."

And with that no more love triangle

[Spectacular_Insanity]

I kinda am partial to Tessa, because she's always trying to seduce Sousuke, usually in not-so-subtle ways. That and the complications that arise when Sousuke's other commander (whose name I can't quite remember) threatens to skin Sousuke alive if he "tries anything", even though we all know he wouldn't.

[velvet nightmare]

when does she try to seduce him?

she kind of just tails along and teases kaname about it

you mean mardukas?

[Zu Ra]

Seduce is too strong of a word I would say hit on him . Its Tessa even if it was Kaname still seduce wouldnt be appropriate

w00t!!! yay!!! that helps alot!!

[hobbes_fan]

Tessa, very straght up with Sagara and everyone else. No ambiguity. Even faced with shittier choices (cruise missiles in FMP!) she makes better choices. A nice combo of a realist and a romantic. Plus she's really good at watersports/getting wet. Betcha Chidori doesn't have tricks like that.

But really Ren Mikihara pwns them both.

omg nooo why, i loved Tessa!!! they should of made:

Spoiler for tessa:

The love triangle a bit longer so at least make it look like she had a chance... I guess i'll just have to wave a flag that will never be...

[50Nn38LuMm]

I shure am for tessa-chan cause she is just the cutest and chidori is always so violent. And of course tessa also looks much better^^

[meawkung]

Tessa FOREVER!!! I like her face.Hair color and her voice.

Since we see so little of Tessa in comparison to Kaname (I've only seen FMP! and Fumoffu) it's nice when she appears on the scene with her loli-cute, yet strong personality...So I think I'll go with Tessa (BTW Tessa has a big bottom for her size if you ever noticed the eps they try to show it--and that's a plus for me )

I'll go with Tessa for this poll...what's funny is I like 2 other chicks even more than either of them...Mao is really hawt, I'd love to see her dolled up like the other characters instead of drinking all the time, and I can't remember her name, but she's the chick that tried to pretend that Sosuke was her boyfriend that one ep, then just became part of the cast, her character is cute, yet so naughty looking...I like her the most as far as just looks...She just throws herself at anyone that might be an AS pilot...

oh yeah that girl her name is Mizuki, when u buy the 2nd disc, i think, of the 1st season u get a poster of her, by the way i named my galant after her

[animeffs13240]

This is a very difficult decision, I really love them both. The reason why Tessa has an advantage over Kaname is that she is extremly smart. I love her gray hair, because not a lot of girls have gray hair, but I guess you can say the same thing for Kaname (I don't think I've seen a girl with solid blue hair). Another reason why I love Tessa becuase she complicates things for Sousuke and Kaname which make all the FMP episodes really funny (Like the Behemoth saga and disc 3 of Fumoffu)

[Kai Yukari]

I know I have posted here before about how I like Kaname better than Tessa but now I've had a change of heart. I also like Tessa now, so in the end I like both of them . They are both strong and capable of handling emergencies. They seem to care a lot for their friends/subordinates. They put others before themselves. Sousuke is the luckiest guy in the world to be loved by such beautiful women

[wtffmp111]

ew, chidori all the way. I hate it when tessa always bumps in. :/ Her voice annoys the hell out of me, and uh... well that's the main thing. I also like the way chidori acts better, although geeez would they hurry up and kiss already? I mean come on I just watched all 3 anime's (the one's that count... FMP, FMP:Fumo, FMP:TSR, & the OVA) and NOT ONE SINGLE KISS!!

Arghhhhhh!!!!!

[Cii]

I like both of them, but since that was not a option I voted for Kaname Chidori. Like her personality alott. Can't describe it but i like the relationship she and Sousuke have and are developing.

[Fireinthedawn]

Tessa. Kaname likes Sagara. Tessa loves him. Plus look at all of the cut aways, Tessa HATES taking innocent weight, the weight of her job is increditble in comparison. She needs him a lot more. Kaname is just care free and often times down right selfish. I don't know about you but I'd pick Tessa.

[Fireinthedawn]

Kaname Chidori: Because god knows we need another love/hate sterotypical female too afraid to admit she's in love with the main male. There sure aren't enough of those going around =/
