Full Metal Panic Q and A thread

[velvet nightmare]

when did tessa fall in love with sagara and under what conditions did this happen?

all i can remember was that tessa told kaname that she'd have competition over sagara shortly after behemoth was defeated

[Denty666]

[velvet nightmare]

I
hey, I'm new here, and a big fan of Full Metal Panic! the novel...Reading this thread was fun since I even saw some images of the novel I didn't read yet, 'Burning one man force' I think it's called. Does anyone know if there is the english version that I could buy over the net? and where...? I hope they ship to all countries in Europe. I curse Romania for not having manga anime and novels such as this one!

Unfortunately, there isn't any english FMP novel yet.
you can only find english novel via fan translation (Boku-Tachi, and they aren't on BOMF yet, but this should be the next FMP translation project)

your best bet is either wait for the upcoming translation, or buy the original japanese novel and translate it by yourself or by one of your relative.

update:

boku-tachi is finished with FMP, once the novels get their official release, they are removing all FMP content off their site

they will never touch FMP again, BOMF will not get started

is full metal panic: the second raid is the last season?

[Zu Ra]

In terms of anime yes there have been no anouncement reagrding releases . But the Graphic Novel is still ongoing so you can expect new season/s

So that means there will be only the Japanese version that I can buy???
Oh man that's so CRUEL! I'll never be able to find out what will happen??? I need to learn japanese.

[velvet nightmare]

probably up until whenever they're going to release the english novels up to the latest one

ever so slowly

well if you want to find out what happens you can just go for the spoilers for the main plot if anything

[toru daito]

i have just watched ep 1-6 of the second raid.Its great!!Two thumbs up!
a few questions: is it true that full metal panic was originally made based on visual graphic novels?? (i thought based on manga)

the chronological time of the series:
FMP season 1----FMP second raid----FMP fumoffu
am i right?

yes they were based on novels

the order they came out in are season 1, fumoffu, season 2

generally fumoffu has nothing to do with the main story line and are a compilation of short stories (some episodes are split into two parts, 15 minutes each)


but generally they go between the season 1 and TSR to follow the general chronological order of the main plot line

[Klashikari]

In fact, you can consider Fumoffu as a spin off, the comic side stories which should be take place during the main plot for some of them (others are simply completely out of the plot line)

however, Fumoffu is still considered as a sequel, since the characters aknowledge several events from the first serie (especially Kaname who knows who sosuke is, what is mithril, and especially : she knows Tessa, Kurz, Mao and Commander Markudas)

So, the first serie should be watched first to understand every details of this season.

[velvet nightmare]

the FAQ section should give a better idea as to how the story progresses

but it's horridly out of date

what's worse is that it's locked too so we cant add the latest information

[pachogamez]

^

actually, it's up to date, with the info of the latest novel published

The latest one that was serialized in the dragoon mag will come out this month, and will surely appear there

[velvet nightmare]

last update was 2006-08-09

pretty sure that's out of date

And the last novel to be released was Side Arms 2 - Kyokuhoku Kara no Koe the 2006/07/25 which is the last novel of the thread.

Since July 2006 no novel/anime has been released, they were nothing to update in this thread...

Next month probably, after the release of MMD (the 20 of this month), the thread will be updated.

[velvet nightmare]
