Holy shit. This'll be interesting. Whether this will be a hit or miss will largely depend on which studio gets the job.

You seem to be in the minority and from someone who watches Pokemon your post is quite ironic.

I hardly remember anything of the series though.
I can only remember mechs and a tsundere hitting the MC with a paper fan.

Can you believe it? This got announced as I was just in the middle of re-watching all the seasons!

Honestly speaking, FMP to me was a stellar series that flawlessly integrated high school comedy with serious mecha action. While detractors cite the "mood whiplash" as a complaint, I attest that the juxtaposition of the two scenarios is the series' charm that works to its benefit. By allowing us to grow attached to the endearing characters through the comedy, the serious parts leave an even stronger impact.

The mechas are some of the best designed ones that I've seen to-date that work exceedingly well in combat. I would argue that their realistic, real-robot humanoid designs just add to the wonder and visual spectacle of the rather super-robot-esque reality defying abilities.

All in all, I cannot wait to see the continuation of the story that I've been waiting for years for. TSR left on an excellent note, but I think it's high time the song be finished.

But seriously, I was really into Full Metal Panic way back in the day. I even read all the light novels, manga and watched every episode of ever anime adaptation. I hope they bring back all the original seiyuus/voice actors.

I can't wait!

Is this Real Life? Or Is this Just Fantasy??

Dunno what's people so excited about. Saw the first series. Pretty mediocre. Cute Tessa, but it's not like this is a LOGH remake or something.

There's your problem. Watch Fumoffu and TSR. Gonzo did a good job imo, but KyoAni's stuff blows it out of the water.

Eh.

I'm watching LOGH right now and it's alright. It's more realistic than most Anime I'll give them that. But the lack of background music, the gap in between dialogues, the slow pacing just makes it much harder to enjoy than most modern shows. I liked how down to earth Yang is though. Really chill guy.

Nothing really special about FMP imo besides the fact it was a KyoAni mecha.

I'm assuming it won't be another comedy series if it gets a sequel? IDK.

Don't have to patience to sit through it. TSR bored me to death the first episode and Fumoffu I'm just not in the mood for.

Just looking at the plot though: It is a mediocre maybe above average mecha series. What's to get excited about?

Well the first season isnt the part people like, but its more because of how no one expected it to actually happen despite being teased for it all the time. its kind of like shenmue 3 with how everyone knew it was a thing but gae up any hope of it every becoming reality. The quality of the 2 have nothing to do with eachother but having to sit on an unfinished story for 10 + years caused more rejoice when its continued than something like LOTGH remake which is already completed and generally no one was really asking for a remake (still appreciated that it is happening)

Wow one of my earliest animes watched. Think I skipped the sidestory. After seeing Fumoffu clone in Amaburi, not so sure I want to try that. I prefer the mecha plot as main with side comedy. Think I'll finish all the FMP extras while waiting. Hopefully it's Sunrise, Xebec, or sanzigen (cg part). 8bit's starting to have quality mechs. Satelight's very experienced though their mechs are always a bit wonky.

NOW THAT IS INTERESTING. I just noticed that the announcement came out in August. I hope this becomes big and they get some good AF OST on board.

Oh ok. This is really exciting then! I definitely feel it. I'm happy for those who are waiting even though I'm not a fan of the series.

Hope following the trend, Haruhi season 3 comes out.

Just announce S3 of Spice & Wolf and I shall believe in anime again.

This all depends on the studio adapting and where they are gonna start, though. If it's a full remake, the start of the story Gonzo covered is not great, and it's gonna be hard topping what Kyoto did with Fumoffu/TSR, as well as pointless. I probably won't watch if I have to retread so much old ground.

If they start post-TSR, tho? I read ahead in the manga, and it gets REALLY dark. Good shit.

Dafuk? TSR was an improvement over the manga, if not the LN, with the re-designs of the Chinese twins and Sagara's prostitute meltdown.

I think I'm stoked about this mostly out of nostalgia. Hope it's a continuance of the series. Wonder if Tessa's brother will be the primary antagonist of this new series?

Well the next part of the story (after The Second Raid) is probably one of the best arcs in all of FMP. Dancing Very Merry Christmas.

For those who want more Fumoffu-style comedy, I think you might be disappointed, while there are still fun parts, big emotional parts and some truly awesome action scenes (I remember reading the light novel and being gripped by it) the story really takes off and doesn't slow down after this arc.

I heard reports that this new anime is going to cover the remaining light novels and completely finish the story. I am crossing everything that is possible to cross that this report turns out to be true. I agree the first series can give you thematic whiplash at times but the second raid was far more consistent and integrated the comedy far better. I don't think it really needs a Brotherhood-style remake, they didn't cut or change enough to warrant that. But still, hopefully going forward, FMP will be more like TSR than the original series.

Fact is, shizz is about to go down in this series so the comedy won't really fit in well after DVMC as things go crazy intense. I think this has the potential to be one of the most engaging, gripping series going if they get it right and don't cut or rush the story.

They will have to catch new fans up though.... That's the only worry I have when it comes to the possibility of a remake. They might feel the story is too involved to just continue on from where a decade old series left off. If they don't remake it though I wonder if they will rebroadcast the original series or just push the blu rays?
