CHAPTER TWO: THE ANIME "Full Metal Panic!"
The light novel "Full Metal Panic!" was very successful that it spawned its own anime series.
The anime "Full Metal Panic!" was originally scheduled to be broadcasted beginning Fall of 2001. Unfortunately, the initial airing coincided around the time 9-11 occurred in the United States. Since "Full Metal Panic!" involved a mercenary who lived through the hell of Afghanistan (Sagara Sousuke) and a hijacking of a plane, the censor board at WOWOW decided it was not the appropiate time to air at that time. The broadcast was moved back to January 2002.
"Full Metal Panic!" aired on WOWOW BS satellite for a 24 episode run. Anime production was done by GONZO.
