"El relleno que supero al original"
No es algo nuevo que el relleno sea lo que a muchos nos fastidie del anime, y si, muchos incluso lo consideran lo peor del anime en si, en mi caso ese titulo se lo llevan tanto el moe y las fantasias de autoinsersion, para no hacerla larga esta reseña es de Full Metal Panic?,Fumoffu, una temporada de relleno que se ubica en medio de la primera y la segunda temporada de FMP, obviamente me vi las tres series, y puedo afirmar que, aunque FPM sea buena, fumoffu es mejor ya que explota lo mejor de la franquicia y deja a un lado lo peor de esta, ya como introduccion, full metal panic trata de una chica llamada Kaname Chidori que por X circunstancias termina siendo resguardada por un soldado llamado Sagara Sosuke, la serie es de accion y comedia, la cual la co…

FMP? Fumoffu
This is totally different from the real stories, this is like a spin off, one that is aimed to be full comedy without an specific storyline and i got to point out this is much better than the original and the Second Raid and much more enjoyable than both combined.
Story
Well there's no actual linear storyline but more like episodic stories in which every episode has two funny ''stories'' or daily life moments in which Sousuke finds himself and other ones in trouble triggering funny moments, that's it, expect to laugh a lot and Chidori this time has justification for her violence towards Sousuke and is less violent than in the other two adaptations in which it was unjustified over the top non sense violence and i hated that but here it's justified and even funny, sometimes she…

Fumoffu is actually an aside season of the FMP universe. Whereas the main FMP universe is pretty dark and is filled with serious action, FMP is filled with unrelenting humor. I actually watched Fumoffu before watching FMP or TSR so I can attest that this hilarious piece about a military soldier attempting to blend in with Japanese society and high school life. Though knowledge of the base FMP show is helpful at times, this can actually be watched standalone.
Fully enjoyable without knowing anything about the characters from FMP. This series is purely a delight to watch and a great show to entertain guests with.
Animation:
Crisp and colorful, Kyoto Animation did a great job with this one. The characters are all drawn very nicely and the overall look is very pleasing; this is definitely am…

Fumoffu takes place immediately following season 1 of FMP, while FMP isn't exactly required, I'd recommend watching it to get the backstory of fumoffu, and honestly it was pretty good for a mecha so you'll probably enjoy it anyway.
Anyway, at its core, this was a slice of life comedy, it took all of the best moments from season 1 and created a spin off series based on it. It stars Chidori, a normal high school girl with a special background explained in season 1, and Sosuke, a highly trained military soldier who lacks any personality beyond his vast military background, who was assigned to protect Chidori in season 1. The story basically explains what happens on a day to day level after season 1 wraps up, and it leaves you incredibly satisfied.
The characters are where this show really s…

Ok so this will be my first review ever so I'll try my best!
Firstly if you haven't seen full metal panic(first season) I suggest watching that before this. Now let's get down to it, this anime was just great I was literally on the floor laughing the whole time because it's all about the COMEDY!! sousuke sagara is gotta be one of my favorite characters of all time because he so oblivious to everything and he shows it the most in this season. So grab some popcorn and enjoy the laughs Bc It's a masterpiece 10/10

For a lot of people, their favourite parts of Full Metal Panic were the goofy side stories involving Sagara blowing stuff up in a school environment and Kaname getting mad at him for doing so. To appease that fanbase, and to keep the main storyline more serious and consistent in tone, they took a whole bunch of those stories and compiled them into season 1.5: Full Metal Panic Fumoffu. While it helps to have the experience of the main story to know the characters, Fumoffu works perfectly fine as a stand alone dumb comedy, such is the disconnect between it and FMP regular.
The issue is about 75% of the joke of Fumoffu is Sagara shooting something and then Kaname getting angry and hitting him for doing that. That joke wasn’t particularly funny in FMP regular, and repeating it 100 times does…

Let's say if I only was able to take one anime from each genre (drama, comedy, etc) with me to a deserted island which ironically had a tv with a dvd player (don't ask me where the electricity comes from) for the the comedy one, I'd take FMPF.
Why? Well...
Story
Well, there isn't any! Ha! Got you there. Ok well maybe there is a small story, but it's meaningless for this show and well it's genre which is comedy. Not many comedy shows have stories, other than slice of life type of format which this anime seems to portray. Besides comedies are made to make you laugh your butt of and well, this show accomplishes that in a multitude of ways from slapstick to ridiculous situations to so far fetched ideas, that you just have to laugh!
Art
Well, isn't spectacular, but the effects and artwork c…

First up, it should be noted that this is NOT a sequel, but it should be watched after you've seen a bit of the main series at least, just so you know what the characters are like. This is like a "companion" series consisting of funny short stories that happens in the school life part of "Full Metal Panic", and it runs in parallel against the events of the first series of the franchise.
"Full Metal Panic: Fumvlkvo" (I haven't bothered learning how to spell the title of this anime correctly) is a very easy watch due to the total light heartedness and bite sized format of the stories. The short length of each story (they're generally last half an episode each) helps to sustain its entertainment as each one will finish before attention starts to wander. These mini stories tend to be very ima…

What a surprise, I thought that Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu was going to be another Anime with the same old stereotypes for all of the characters featured. But boy was I ever wrong, this Anime is the funniest thing I've ever seen. The stories are so elaborate and ludicrous, but logic isn't something on the menu today. FMP? Fumoffu is a spin off anime focusing more on the comedic aspect of Sousuke's story than the dramatic aspect. Which really gives the dramatic scenes more kick because of this in the other seasons. I mean, compare Fumoffu to Second Raid, they both comedic elements but it's pushed to the wayside for the drama. They don't even feel like they're the same Anime.
I'm glad that the main female character isn't some martyr who we're supposed to feel empathetic towards. There's been…

I just love this series I wish that would make more 12 episodes just isn't enough I just wanted to enjoy moreof Sagara's adventures at a normal school after spending his entire life in military organisations and activities.
its just so funny how unadept he is in adapting to school.
For example blowing up the shoe boxes just because someone had opened his box and put a love letter inside, and then further confusing the lovely hand writting and sweet words of the remains as a challenge letter. Therefore he gets all camoflaged with a sniper rifle, hidden for 6 hours, watching the girl.
the show is just so funny, and I just loved every bit, I was laughing my head off through most of it, and just couldn't believe how amazingly funny and well executed it was, the rugby team's transformation,…

I am very skeptical about giving 10 as a score simply because achieving perfection IS NOT POSSIBLE. The thing is, every now and then I come across something that does what it is supposed to do SO WELL that whatever minor mistakes that it have pale in comparison to the rest, and the result is truly a 10... Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu is one of those rare cases.

Story
----------------------------------
This will be a bit brief, but not because there isn't any, simply because the show exists of short bursts of story development instead of a coherent big arc, this makes for a "non continuum" world but at the same time help flash out one of the best aspects of Fumoffu, it's randomness.
You never know what to expect from the next minute of the show, and when t…

After watching all the FMP seasons I have to say that, without a doubt, Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu is the best one. FMP F are just spin-offs, side stories that take place right after the first Full Metal Panic! and before Second Raid season. If you are looking for a good laugh this is definitely one of the best options around.
Does this anime really have a story? Almost every episode is divided into two sub-episodes parts, which equals two stories per episode. Mostly one has nothing to do with the other episodes. Now if Fumoffu doesn't have a story why is so good? Easy: In the first season the anime focuses, almost all the time, in the belic conflicts that "Mythril" has with different terrorist organizations. But the thing is that they've created amazing-over the top characters, characters…

First of all, the only reason I gave the "Story" category a grade of "9" is because Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu isn't actually a story. It's more of a compilation of mini-stories or events and mishaps of our high-school couple.
The artwork is astounding. You'll feel every facial expression as if you were really there, the figures are all proportional, the color is vivid yet simple at the same time, and the environment is rich with detail, with next to no flaws in anything.
It sounds great. The OST is perfect; the OP and ED themes are strongly reflective of the complexities brought about in the lives of teenagers. The Voice-Acting is amazing; you'll feel different emotions with every word. Kaname's voice goes from calm to angered to saddened with perfect transitions and matches perfectly wi…

I dont write reviews so often but i figured for one of my favorite anime i could make an exception.
STORY
like all comedy anime FMP Fumoffu has no real story like its parent story FMP! but it still kind of shows some advancements in the relationship between kaname and souske but other than that the story line moves around in all directions.
ART
the art is fantastic i think the animation in very good and i think kaname is one of the cutest anime girls ever along with tesa.
SOUND
this anime has the best opening i have ever seen ... the song is great and the opening video is so good that is was worth watching it entirely for every episode.
CHARACTER
The characters are very nice and easy to fall in love with... i love kaname and tesa... tesa's personality is so warm and cute while kaname…

After watching Full Metal Panic (which I suggest everyone to do before considering watching this to make sense of it more), I was reluctant to watch this spin-off from it. Mainly because I saw no point in watching when there wouldn't be much development of character, nor continued storyline, and the school setting seemed off-putting. But I was glad that I started it, as I enjoyed it immensely. The reasons? I shall try to explain.
Story 8/10
This was far from disappointment, it was brilliant how they made everyday normal scenarios, and exaggerated it into the context of military warfare (mostly by Sousuke's nature to take things in that mecha sense). It is therefore tackled and resolved using military tac-tics, planned out strategies and military weapons. This is what makes it so hilarious…

The reason that this comedy succeeds where so many others have failed is that it's primarily based on character-driven humor, and from what I've seen most other comedies rely on the standard "random cute girls do random cute things, repeat ad nauseum" nonsense. I don't understand why that sort of stuff gets aired all the time, but luckily, the humor in Fumoffu comes from the plausible yet wacky situations that the characters get themselves into, and their reactions to those situations. The show mostly revolves around the kind of "fish-out-of-water" type scenarios that result when a dude from a shadowy mercenary organization (and sometimes his friends) ends up in a Japanese high school. The highlight is probably the rugby team episode, which features a hilarious segment lifted straight from…

Okay, first things first. One: If you haven't watched the original Full Metal Panic! series, watch it beforehand. Knowing the characters *will* make the humor better. Two, if you didn't like the part of the original series that was about Sosuke and Chidori's everything but normal high school life, turn around, because that's all Fumoffu is about. Okay, let's get to reviewing.
The story in Fumoffu follows, as mentioned, Chidori and Sosuke's wacky high school life, and has none of the mecha aspects that FMP! had. This means that there is room for tons of comedy - given that you liked that part of FMP! You'll see everything from bacteriological weapons to flirt contests in this series, and not to mention, Sosuke's total lack of "street smarts". There is no continuous story from episode to e…

Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu (FMP:F) improves on its bipolar predecessor by focusing only on comedy. FMP:F is essentially a collection of filler episodes that could of been taken from the FMP story line. Therefore, there is no plot or character development or AS (Arm Slaves) fights, just the antics of Sousuke and the rest. So those fans looking for a continuation of FMP are not going to find it in FMP:F instead watch Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid. A nice thing about FMP:F is that you don't have to watch the first series to enjoy this. There aren't many references the first Full Metal Panic and all you need to know is Sousuke has live all his life as a solider and for the first time in his life he has to adapt to normal Japanese high school life. This time around instead of GONZO animating…

I felt it was necessary to write a review thats not blinded from fan bias of the entire series. If you've seen the first season you already know the main plot, spunky school girl has a mysterious power and is being protected by a secret military organization; specifically by the 16 year old Serious Military Nut, Sousuke Sagara.
This series takes place between "Full Metal Panic" and "Full Metal Panic: The second Raid." If you have watched the first season you recognize the plot progression was an awkward mix of Comedy and action~ with the occasional dash of drama/romance.... this is where Fumoffu makes a huge drift from the first season.
Story: As if to spare fans the mediocre mix of Action/Comedy Fumoffu has no real action what so ever; It seems that the Action element of this series wa…

If you are not aware already, Full Metal Panic Fumoffu is a spin off of the more serious Full Metal Panic. It seems to be set in point somewhere halfway through the series. Unlike its big brother, it contains no arm slave battles and only a few hostage situations. Instead it focuses on the high school lives of Souske and Chidori and is overall very lighthearted.
Full Metal Panic Fumoffu is probably the funniest anime I have ever seen. It routinely places Souske\'s vast military expertise and relatively little common sense into the spotlight. This show is filled with explosions, rubber bullets and misunderstandings. No matter what the problem is, it can always be solved by a combination of Chidori\'s level headed approach and Souske\'s arsenal of wacky weaponry.
Speaking of wacky weaponry,…
