You know, the only thing that bothered me in FMP was the American submarine captain. Specifically his "Remember Pearl Harbor" line.
I don't know the full backstory of FMP but there are suppose to be in an alternate 2002 right? If they are using the historical Peral Harbor attack (December 7, 1941) as a reference, that would have been over 60 years earlier. That submarine captain doesn't look anywhere near 60 to even have been alive for that event, much less be bitter about it. FMP Japan looks like it is more or less the same Post-World War II Japan with a JSDF using American style equipment and the US Navy acting like the kings of the seas. Unless there was another (much more recent) Attack on Pearl Harbor, the line makes no real sense to me. Maybe the "Toy Box" is classifed as a Japanese super sub by the American military? I don't know. The line just doesn't fit right for some reason. But then every once in a while someone will use the line "Remember the Alamo" or 'Remember the Maine" so I guess it could work sometimes. It just bugs me a little.

Well, there's already a thread for this and you can find it by clicking here. Anyhow, to answer your question; it is impossible to tell at the moment. Should a new season of FMP be animated it would most probably be a Kyoto Animation production. The first season, Full Metal Panic!, was produced by GONZO and adapted the first 3 main plot novels into anime. Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu was produced by Kyoto Animation and it only contained short stories from the side story compilations. Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid was also produced by Kyoto Animation and it was the second main story season, adapting the fourth and fifth main plot novels into anime. So, where do we stand today? 10 main plot novels have been released and even though we thought that the tenth novel was going to be the last... well, let's just say it wasn't true. The next novel will serve as the climax, but as far as I know there might be a 12:th novel to wrap it all up. Anyhow, given what we do know, less than 50% of the FMP main story has been animated so far, so there's a lot material out there to adapt. The problem is that a long arc is introduced in the seventh novel that is darker, better and more serious, and there is no natural point in the story where they could end a third main plot season, unless they intend to return shortly thereafter in order to animate the rest. They won't serve us a cliffhanger and then leave us hanging for several years. Another problem is that Kyoto Animation is a studio with a busy schedule. Future projects that we know of would be: Clannad ~After Story~, the second season of Suzumiya Haruhi and the recently announced OVA for Lucky Star. On top of that there are a few titles that "will/should/could" be announced sooner or later, such as Haruhi 3, Little Busters and possibly a Planetarian OVA/movie. You probably already figured out that I'm not expecting a new season of FMP anytime soon. I do think that there will be one in the future, and if they decide to adapt more of the main plot into anime they will most probably see it through to the end, given the nature of the content. The creator of FMP is a really good friend of KyoAni, and according to some source that I don't remember there are quite many FMP-fans among the KyoAni staff. So... to answer your question; I do believe there will be one (and in that case there will probably be two), but I don't expect anything to happen until Gatoh has finished the story. Who knows, 2010 might end up being a really good year.

Exactly.
In the US Navy, particularly the submarine service, 'on patrol' is the designation for killed in action. All of the submarines and crews lost in World War 2, as well as the two lost during the Cold War, are listed this way. |

I can only respond for France. For now nothing has been announced. If they decide to release TSR I hope they will do a better translation/editing for their subtitle because that was pretty bad by moment, I really regret buying those DVD...

Since most of the time they have to add/remove some of the dialog when doing the dub, in the end you have missing line or text with no dialog in your subtitle. |
