Full Metal Panic

Full Metal Panic is one of my first anime (and one of my early favorites). Basically, FMP is about Sousuke Sagara, an Arm Slave (giant robot)) pilot in the mercenary group, Mithril, who is assigned to the task of protecting Chidori Kaname. The highlights of FMP are the rather good character development and the nice balance between fight scenes and non-filler interludes. Between the first and second seasons, which mainly focus on Mithril and are very battle heavy, there is a transitional season called Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu, which focuses more on the romantic comedy high school life of Chidori and Sousuke.

My rating: 8/10
