Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu
I've asked people around and they suggested me this anime.
Could someone tell me whether this anime is like a continuation of Full Metal Panic! ? Would I be able to understand the series if I started watching this without watching "Full Metal Panic!" first? Thanks in Advance, Kyosuke |

Elaboration: Though the two stories are related (characters, background details, etc.), the former revolves around action/adventure in a combat zone while the latter focuses its attention on the characters' comical life in high school. Hence, you do not need to watch "Full Metal Panic!" beforehand to enjoy "Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu." However, a lot of my friends who haven't watched FMP! and started with FMP?Fmoff did get them interested into watching/reading FMP! in the end. Last edited by kj1980; 2006-02-14 at 22:01. |

to elaborate: FMP is based on books
the manga is based on the books+the short stories based in the FMP world the anime Full Metal Panic! is based in the straightforward world of the novels Fumoffu is the animation of the "filler" manga chapters and the short stories written by the original author. the manga has an interesting way of going about it, too: Vol. 1 is mostly school comedy, vol. 2 is entirely about the events in N. Korea, vol 3 is more comedy, and vol. 4 is more plot |

FMP: Fumoffu? is just a bunch of happenings at school while Sousuke attended. All you need to know to watch Fumoffu? is that Sousuke grew up a guerilla fighter in Aghganistan and is having trouble adapting to the normal Japanese lifestyle. THis is explained in the first episode...
Full Metal Panic is not required. However, it is a good series you may want to see. |

almost any point of FMP? Fumoffu can take place before (or after) episode 12 episode 1 of FMP? Fumoffu actually takes place right BEFORE FMP! episode 1 |

I'd recommend that you watch BOTH series simultaneously if you haven't seen either, preferably starting with a few ep's of FMP1. Last edited by roguenoir; 2004-03-31 at 05:49. |

I did not watch FMP before watching FMP:F yet fumoffu became my favorite comic anime. Personaly, I would recomend watching a few episodes of FMP, but it is in no way nessisary.
You will just get a few jokes better, like when his partners show up for the bath house episode. |

Chidori only met Sosuke only for the first time in school during the episode 1 of FMP, while through the episodes of FMP? Fumoffu, it has already clearly shown her affection for him. |

A classic series for me, I don't think there's a single purely comedy style anime I would rank as highly as FMP Fumoffu. Actually, interestingly enough, I would likely choose to show people Fumoffu first over the original series if I was introducing them to anime, largely because I think it was much better done

I don't really miss any of the characters from fumoffu. Tsubaki was lame. Sousuke owns him hands down . I love TSR (episode 6,9,13 for sure). Animation was a lot better in it as well. |

Fumoffu is watchable because it's a comedy series. It attracts all types of viewers, and it was pretty well done. |
