    Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

    i don't think I've ever laughed so much at each episode of an anime. This show is rather short, and has no plot to speak of, the characters basically just fool around and get into trouble. The first show in the series, Full Metal Panic!, is split between comedy and action adventure, Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu is pure comedy. Most anime comedies mix comedy together with more drama like elements (romance, drama etc) this show does not, all it try's to do is make you laugh, which it does an excellent job at, only bringing in romantic elements very rarely. The shows characters are incredibly endearing and I was never bored with them. This show is very good at slapstick comedy, and since that's all it strives for, I can't really say that anything is wrong with it, because it doesn't have a lot of elements to it, but the ones it has it's very good at, so if slapstick is what you like, you will love this show.

    I thought Full Metal Panic Fumoffu was actually quite good though a few friends disliked it but I liked it. Not as action orientated as the first series as this is more focused on school life, personal lives and comedy.Throughout the Full Metal Panic franchise I liked the relationship between Sousuke and Kaname but it didn't neglect at least too much Sousuke's buddies from MITHRIL.Also it adds new characters from Jindai High School where Sousuke and Kaname are students at and it expands more on the students and faculty at Jindai High School.Overall Full Metal Panic Fumoffu is a fun series despite its lack of action.

    In my opinion, this is the best of all the "Full Metal Panic" animations. Unlike its predecessor, it focuses more in the comedy and the relationships of the main characters. And also, there aren't giant robots. But that isn't flaw. In fact, I liked this more than "Full Metal Panic!" and "Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid!", mostly because the hilarious situations depicted in each episode of this series.The jokes and the comedy style from this anime somewhat reminded Japanese animations like "Ranma 1/2" (Mostly because the funny relationship between the two main characters) combining perfectly well the absurdity and the gags with romance and some heartwarming moments.The animation is excellent, with great character designs, and a beautiful use of colors, which capture the light-hearted tone of the series. The opening song is pretty nice too."Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu" is a very entertaining anime with many virtues that deserve to be taken in consideration. It can be enjoyed for anyone, even for the viewers who didn't watch the previous series. To the present, this remains being my favorite installment of this franchise.

    After Full Metal Panic, one might ask, what is happening with Sagara and Kaname now? Well, this one explains it, well almost, albeit a comedic way, basically, this is more of a spin-off or side story and has nothing to do with the mechs or the action though some familiar characters such as Mao, Weber, Kalinin, Richard, and especially Tessa do make appearances in several episodes, and it mostly focuses on how Sagara does in living a normal teenage life, and still has the military mentality he always had, especially when challenged by the karate club, or thinking that the love letter he got was a bomb, and he still uses his weapons and gadgets he had during the first series! But mostly it's all comedy, no mech fights here, but maybe a little gun fighting, albeit non-lethal, but it is still promising, up to the last episode, you get a ton of laughs, recommended to it's fans, and be sure to watch The Second Raid, which continues the Full Metal Panic story. By the way, a few episodes weren't shown in syndication as the rest due to a kidnapping, the episode had a familiar scenario, so it was pulled off.
