As you may have guessed, it is my favourite anime series. To me, it represents everything good in anime. To me, it’s perfection. That might sound like a bit much, and that’s understandable. How can you take the word of a random guy on the internet who is telling you that some anime is the best thing ever? It’s because of that that I expect you to believe me.
I’ll give a brief plot summary of all three seasons that have aired so far (summaries from Anime News Network). I’ve omitted spoilers from all of them.
Full Metal Panic! – Sousuke Sagara, a seventeen year old military specialist working for the secret organization Mithril, has been assigned to protect the latest “Whispered” candidate Kaname Chidori. To complete this task Sousuke will have to use all his military prowess and deal with enemies from his past. Unfortunately for Sousuke, the toughest part of his mission isn’t only protecting Miss Chidori but also getting used to living an average High School students life, no easy task for someone raised on the battlefield.
Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu – It’s back-to-school mayhem with Kaname Chidori and her war-freak classmate Sousuke Sagara as they encounter more misadventures in and out of Jindai High School. But when Kaname gets into some serious trouble, Sousuke takes the guise of Bonta-kun – the gun-wielding, butt-kicking mascot. And while he struggles to continue living as a normal teenager, Sousuke also has to deal with protecting his superior officer Teletha Testarossa, who has decided to take a vacation from Mithril and spend a couple of weeks as his and Kaname’s classmate.
Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid – This series is set about two months after the events ocurred in the Tuatha de Danaan at the end of the original series. Mithril becomes aware of a secret organization that has technology able to counter the ECS (Electronic Cloaking System) mode. This organization, known as Amalgam, also has “Black Technology”, obtained from “Whispered” like Kaname Chidori, and like the other intelligence agencies, they intend to obtain more.
In Part 2, I’ll go into further detail.
