Bah, you beat me to it. Stupid forum downtime.
This is going to be a novel -> anime conversion of a series of novels spanning across time from the year 1999 up to now, written by Hoshino Ryou. The cooperative illustrations were done by Goto Nao. Surprisingly, MOONPHASE lists XEBEC as the anime production company, but I haven't found this information anywhere else. And here's its wikipedia entry. I hope somebody can fully translate it.

Another take on the The Third novels from Froth-Bite's staff channel (summarized, told by Sylf who read some of the novels):
The time in The Third novel is post "BIG World War", a postapocalyptic era in distant future when men had already built a great deal of advanced technology prior to the war, but all of it was lost. Some enormous powers that were released during the war brought mutations to some human races, creating demi-human forms. One of those forms are called The Third. The Third have a third eye on their forehead which provides them with a great deal of power and knowledge, like being able to communicate with the latest technology computers, robots and cyborgs. The main character, the flat-chested girl Honoka is a "failed" The Third. The Government found out that she had the third eye, so she was taken but later sent back because she lacked true abilities that The Third race should possess. She is a sword master. One of her friends calls her a Sword Dancer and the cool thing about her is that she's enchanted rather than the sword. |

The official site of the seinen novel The Third:
http://www.kadokawa.co.jp/fujimi/third/third.html This is the official site of the novel and not the anime (no site for the anime, at least for now). Edit: I somehow forgot to mention the seinen novel Full Metal Panic! in my previous post

Volume 6 of the collection of the short story novel The Third will be released on 20/4/2006.
Here its cover: I already added it with the other covers of the collection of short stories novel thats in the first post of this thread. There is also something called: (correct me if I'm wrong) 超解!ザ・サード Super Solution! The Third Edited by: Dragon Magazine editorial department I'm not sure what this is supposed to be, but its not the first volume of the manga (which is serialized in Dragon AGE). Somewhere it was mentioned that this volume will contain some explanations about the novel (but I can't say I'm sure about this, since I read this on some forum). Anyway, I'll post its cover when its out. Ahh Yay another few days and the anime gets broadcasted
