Full Metal Panic Novel Discussion

[Maciste]

Oh boy, please let there be a (final ?) new season of the anime (26 eps should do the trick). Just a little announcement would be much of a relief for me....

At least, i read the posts here in this forum and keep myself up-to-date. Thx guys, much appreciated. And if someone fo you could get a grip of some FMP animé information, don't hesitate and spread the word !

Hmmm..
I thought they were born in 1984 (http://www.jindai-high.com/characters/kaname-chidori/)

I seem to remember there is a date given, or it may just be a time frame, in one of the short stories on when Sousuke was in the plane crash that lead to his being raised by the Russians?* I was just thinking if you're making a timeline you might consider putting in the Sousuke dates (or est. dates) as well (but it's your timeline so if you don't want to do that, that's fine ).



*I thought I read about it in a short story spoilers - I've not read the short stories themselves.

That the date given in the anime, in the novel it's 1981

I don't have that date (time frame), I am hunting for this style of info but that's not easy to find

The plane crash could have happened the 12/24/1981 as a result of the Omega Sphere Accident And so Sousuke life will have really be a total mess because of the Whispered

Thats actually quite a good theory. That resulted in the accident and that. Otherwise Sousuke would of been a normal boy. I've always had the theory that Gauron crashed the plane though.

Hmmm ... I didn't know there was a discrepancy between the novels and anime. So Sousuke and Kaname are back in 1998 and not the early 2000's.

LOL, they'd be almost 30 now.

• 12/21 to 12/28 : Odoru Very Merry Christmas.

1998

• January : Tsuduku On My Own (nine month since Sousuke transfert to Jindai)
• February to March : Moeru One Man Force.
• Tsudou Make My Day (January to September ??)
• Semaru Nick Of TIme (??)

I was working on it for some time and with the last info about the birth of our Whispered I think that was a good time to make it public

If you have other information or I have made mistake don't hesitate to say so

I think you may have to bump all the '97 and '98 things up by one year. If Kaname and Tessa were born on 12/24/1981, then they would have turned age 17 on 12/24/1998 ("Dancing Very Merry Christmas") -- not 1997.

Other than that, awesome work Miles Teg!

Yes that happen in the latest novel, but this is only an illusion created by Sophia (the one who Whisper to the Whispered) and she is currently taking control of Kaname body.

Spoiler for for just after that:

Kaname kill Sousuke in the same manner a head shot.

HunterSeeker has post a more or less a full spoiler of the novel so go read it if you really want to know what happen

Actually, I think what you are trying to say is "Sophia is the Whisperer to the Whispered." . "Whisperer" as a singular of "Whisper" wouldn't have popped into my head all that quickly except there is a show currently airing in the U.S. called "Ghost Whisperer." A lightbulb went off in my head when I read that sentence as to what the right word most likely would be so I looked up the definition and it looks like it fits .

[TigerII]

For some reason meggie when you said that, the Horse Whisperer came into my head..lol.

[Generalgm]

You know I've been thinking about this for a tad. Isn't it that we still don't know when Sousuke was born? If thats the case I find that to be very convenient for the author.
I keep thinking Sousuke has something to do with the day of the whispered incident.
I know Nami said that he was normal, but I still have a hunch.

[Langus]

I thought Nami said he was special?

(I assumed it was her who was "whispering" to Kaname while she slept). Well one of the Whispered remarked about how it was odd that he'd been able to find all three of them on his own (Nami, Kaname and Tessa)...

You may just be on to something

In our world, the first clamshell was the Motorola StarTAC, released on January 3, 1996, so it's not that modern.


This Omega Sphere has the smell of Red Alert 2, if you catch my drift.

I hate to be the one who interrupts (I have been lurking this post for quite possibly years). and I understand Moob is taking over sigma.. but I couldn't find any content on their site. (there is a huge gap between what I have and their most recent). I was wondering if someone can direct me in the right direction. Again ... my apologizes. (go easy on me)

i would rather say that it is odd that he got so many whispered in love with him =D Leonard hates him though ... ( or not , heh who knows hehehe)
