just finished reading all the English scanlations so there will be another vol. after Semaru Nick of Time. please say it's so i just went through an entire FMP marathon then found out about the novels and read them. after all that and getting to the end of Semaru Nick of Time i don't know if i should feel a great deal of emptiness or aggravated waiting for the next vol.

2. key word "was" 3. I dunno, just my opinion but I have no idea what kind of success the game will have. Maybe just fans will buy it. So far in my experience of gaming, and I play video games quite a lot, games adapted from anything shown on t.v. has been flat out terrible. I would like to think that it won't turn out a disaster though. 4. Well, you kind of contradict yourself a bit from your first statement. You can't know how many "loyal fans" there are for this series in Japan if you don't live there. 10 years is quite a run, I agree, but also it seems like it's taking him way longer than it takes to write actual novels considering they are light novels. 5. It's a matter of opinion. Everyone is different, I'm with darknemo on this. The wait is just too long for some of us. I'm happy you have such "loyalty" and I commend your waiting skills.

3. While I typically agree that games based off shows/movies/etc tend not to be good, I have to disagree in the giant robot series of games that take from many anime. While I know that A.C.E. is a different style of game, it's made by the same group that does the Super Robot Taisen/Wars games, which I've played one of and found it to be a very good and enjoyable game, and this was BEFORE I knew Japanese, so I spent half the game committing suicide 'cause I didn't know the commands! The games are extremely popular in Japan, there wouldn't be fifty-million of them if they weren't, and they're popular for good reason. VERY fun. 5. I'm with Selily on this one XD Seriously people, stop being such downers around here. What's the point of constantly posting your pessimism? Aren't we supposed to all be fans here? If not, GTFO my fandom =P (JK, please stay, it needs the western love...) I think 'mud' had been on that list as well, but I'm not on my home computers, so I can't verify this XD (And, btw, I love you forever for introducing me to this artist... ^^ One day I'll get around to translating all the comics, I had started before my old computer fried and I just never got back to it ToT)

ACE series, along with SRW series, has its own fanbase on both the franchise as well as fans of the animes participated. Aside FMP, Crossbone, Code Geass and Marcross F are also the awaited series for their games (ACE are semi-SRW in any senses), and the Gundams already have a large fanbase. And it's on PS3, a plafform that everyone waits to have SRW......so its sales won't be too bad. (I feel sorry for NEO, such a good game with low sales......)

Lol, in all honesty, I really do hope that Gatoh does have a scene with them kissing finally, but I am hoping that there is an implication that they would do more than just kiss since they have been apart for some time. |

HEHE I agree with you.. there is hope and gurantee this will be popular sooner or later. For example: evangelion started good, ended bad. But now they rebuilt the series and now recently back with more fans. So it very possible that FMP will become very popular again, just give it time and Wa-LA! We happy fans can celebrate!

Kono_Light_Novel_ga_Sugoi is only based on an internet poll, the two first ranking I have given are based on Oricon ranking, Oricon ranking are based on real sells, so for me Oricon >>>>> Internet poll. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oricon |

Semaru nick of time was released in February of 2008 so I think that a ranking of 2008 (ANN link, november of 2007 to november of 2008) is relevant...
And for Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi!, the 2008 ranking is in fact for 2007 and 2009 for 2008, so FMP was first for the year 2007 and 8th for the year 2008 and not present for the year 2009. 2007 -> Tsudou Make My Day 2008 -> Semaru nick of time Quote:

I for example would also vote for FMP if I had the chance in the poll but simply out of respect for its once good past rather than being really into it in the present and its no way in hell I would pay a cent for this series also. The fact that its sales are not that good is what made me say it is not as popular as it once was, as the number of real fans decrease (and by real fans I mean those who support the author by buying the stuff). |

What are you talking about!? I can't find any mangas or books or anything of FMP anymore! I been to oever 6 book stores in Miami and there are NO FMP books! sold out! Enough already! Any pessimists will be hit,.. If their sales are so bad then why bother making a multi-dollar investment in making Arbalest 3D and why in GODS name would film producers want to buy off the story? Man you got your prespective all wrong and willing to take only the facts that support you (and all the pessismists out there) to support your theory that FMP is going to sh*t. Am sick and tired of the topic already. FMP is going to crap FMP is gonna die FMP loosing fans FMP no like no more STOP Whining ...!! You all need to seriously go in to Boot-Camp like the rugby dorks and learn to tough it up and be patient you muddy negative hope-killing ANTI FANS.. yes...you are Anti-Fans...-__-... All of you!! No matter what you say, No matter WHAT you do, you will never kill my adoration for FullMetalPanic. So whine all yuo want. But FullMetalPanic does NOt have dying fans. From now on, SPEAK FOR YOUR SELF. And dont speak for Japan, or fans, or book-critics or even what you read online. SPEAK FOR YOUR SELF. You are not know-it-alls.. -_- *huffs* Off - topic... Do you think we get to see Sousuke outside that Cockpit in ACE:R ??? ^_^
