Full Metal Panic
Ummm.. it's one of my favourite anime <3.
Plot:
The main story develops its characters carefully, and is the shadow or "unusual" events of the protagonist's life. These stories feature the mercenary group Mithril, their mobile base/submarine, called the TDD-1 Tuatha De Danaan, giant humanoid powered suits called Arm Slaves, and the various missions to which Sousuke Sagara is assigned. A highlight of the series is a serious and semi-realistic view of humanoid robotic weapons on the battlefield. The Arm Slave has significant consideration in its portrayal, with explanations given for its power source, operations, maintenance and pilot user interface. The existence of such advanced weaponry and equipment is explained through Black Technology.
Personages:
Sousuke Sagara is the main character of the series. He grew up in Helmajistan, a region in Afghanistan that was caught up in political strife. At age 8, he joined a guerrilla movement to survive, and eventually found his way into Mithril. Sousuke only knows military life, so he is suspicious of everything out of the ordinary. He also has a tough time integrating into high school life, as his social skills are not quite up to par. Sousuke can be quite insensitive at times, for example in volume 7 he bought a pregnancy test while out with Kaname and did not understand what was wrong.
Kaname Chidori is the second protagonist of the series. She is the most popular girl at school - the kind of girl everyone looks up to, but no boy wants as their girlfriend, as one character put it. She's very much the loud mouth, speak your mind kind of girl - a trait she picked up when she studied abroad. Still, Kaname has a softer side - that little girl that has a crush on Sousuke if he'd just for once open up emotionally. Until then, she feels like she must protect him from the harsh, cruel world of high school - a place where he doesn't quite fit in.
Teletha Tessa Testarossa is the third protagonist, she is Captain of the Tuatha de Danaan. She is a young girl of 16 who has a crush on Sousuke and bears the weight of Mithril's mission - to make the world safer by destroying terrorist organizations and drug facilities. Tessa is young, and therefore, hasn't lost that optimism that she can make a difference. She is also stubborn and will try her hardest to prove wrong those who tell her she can't do something. Still, most of her crew sees her as weak and frail - someone who never got her hands dirty on the battle field and therefore can't defend herself.
Kurz Weber Kurz first appears to your typical lady's man, yet he often is the one giving Sousuke advice about life and love. He's a laid back kind of guy who won't dodge responsibility if it comes his way, and is one of the finest snipers in Mithril.
Melissa Mao is the superior officer of both Sousuke and Kurz and demands respect for her role. She is also a spunky woman who loves beer, smokes a lot, and wishes she could be free spirited and optimistic like Tessa.
