Agreed. There hasn't been a Full Metal Panic anime, of any sort, in 8 years. 8 years is an eternity in anime. Nobody in the anime industry is going to be taunting fans over a 8-year old anime. At most, it might be used for the most inside of in-jokes.


And speaking as someone who used to be truly embittered by KyoAni's handling (or lack thereof) of the Haruhi anime... It's time to let it go, FMP fans. I eventually came to terms with KyoAni never doing more Haruhi, and it's been good for my mental health. And Haruhi had an anime much more recently than FMP did, and Haruhi was much more commercially successful (at least as an anime) than FMP was.

Honestly, why would KyoAni ever do FMP again? It obviously doesn't fit the current artistic/creative style of the studio, it doesn't fit their current business model (make anime adaptations out of in-house LNs), FMP did poorly sales-wise by KyoAni's standards, and it's something they haven't touched in 8 years. Really, save yourself the grief, and just let it go.
