I f*cking beg to differ.crimsonxking wrote:It took 3 years, but that isn't that bad a wait.
It's less popular than Haruhi. I'm not saying it's unpopular, but I don't think at any point FMP! has reached the same heights of popularity that Haruhi did, in either the U.S. or Japan...crimsonxking wrote:- Is it really that less popular? I was under the impression that it was pretty big and I see fans complaining about the lack of a new season all the time.
I'm pretty sure there's no way to verify this particular agreement, but usually it seems that there are shows where studios will be contracted on a season-by-season basis. KyoAni did Fumoffu, but that was based on the manga. All I'm saying is that there could be complications relating to doing another season... If I was a producer for the show, I'd be asking around at Gonzo or Madhouse, but that's me...crimsonxking wrote:- Wasn't it just the first season that was done by a different studio? I was under the impression that the rights to it were just in the hands of KyoAni now. They made the other two seasons after the first, at least.
At the end of the first season the only novels they hadn't covered were what became The Second Raid. They could have done it then, it probably broke down for some other reason, but after that they would have had to stop, which wouldn't affect your current situation of waiting for more, because: by the time The Second Raid actually was made, there were only two remaining novels, which probably wasn't enough to make a full season from. Now, by the time the OVA came out there was enough material, but they probably held off so that people would buy the mind-shatteringly expensive DVD box, and then the mind-shatteringly expensive Blu-ray box, which explains us to all the way to 2009. At this point in time, however, I got nothing...crimsonxking wrote:- Huh? The first season adapted books 1-3 and The Second Raid adapted books 4 and 5. We haven't touched anything beyond that point and there are 10 books out there. That leaves half the currently told story unadapted. When the first season of the anime started there were already 5 books out in the series, so Full Metal Panic started out with a lot of source material. Not to mention all the various side-stories and gags that have been released that could potentially work towards another "season" like Fumoffu.
It does now, certainly, but it had more reason to stop for several years than Haruhi did. That's all I'm saying, otherwise I feel you pain. Honestly I like FMP! way more than Haruhi, it's just one of them stopped for much more obvious reasons than the other. It's way better than them going on and making up their own story, though, and I wasn't a huge fan of Fumoffu...crimsonxking wrote:Unless I am not understanding what you mean with that last one. But I'd say FMP has just as much material and reason to get another adaptation. Especially now that Haruhi finally got it's second season.

It's an alias so that he didn't have to give the young Haruhi his real name. He says it's an alias.Kyero Fox wrote:i didn't get that part =\ John Smith.. isn't the name of Will Smith's character in MIB?
Because it's obvious that a Japanese person wouldn't be named John Smith.Kyero Fox wrote:well i know that, I mean why did he pick John Smith and why did she call him a dumb ass or w.e .
What I was saying was that I didn't know that they were going to have the whole story of Sigh in the new season. I thought they'd just have Disappearance, and take a few stories from different books like last time. Also, it seems like the episodes not from Sigh or Disappearance are going to cover the rest of Boredom and Rashness (3 and 5 respectively).crimsonxking wrote:Kyero, John Smith is a common American "everman" name. As in it takes two of the most common american male names and creates the perfect bland name. In Kyon's case, telling Haruhi his name is John Smith is basically telling her he isn't going to tell her his real name and is thus just giving an alias.
Azure Knight, did you really think only Disappearance is enough to fill a 13 episode season? The first season wasn't just Melancholy, it had several other stories. Since they seem to be airing everything in chronological order this time, it's a safe assumption that something will be done with Sighs if they intend to do Disappearance.
Oh, and it IS being aired weekly, it's just being aired with the first season in chronological order. Meaning that the episode that just aired takes place before some of the episodes from the first season so they are airing those reruns before we can get to more new episodes. In complete contrast to the out-of-order first airing of the first season, they are airing the second season in such a chronological fashion that they are actually repeating episodes in order to get the order exact.
Probably, if they only have one episode slot after Disappearance. Everything after that story arc starts hinting at the metaplot and will make the wait for the next season even MORE unbearable for people who haven't read the novels.Is there going to be an anime exclusive episode again like Someday in the Rain?
Ah, yeah, after about the 5th novel it becomes all a continuous plot, right? I hate that the novels are being released in english bi-annually... gotta find a place to read them online.AuraTwilight wrote:Probably, if they only have one episode slot after Disappearance.

I second the gender-swap OVA. Seeing how popular the fad's become, I think fans would really enjoy an episode like that.AuraTwilight wrote: If there is an anime exclusive, I'm hoping for either something Koizumi-centric, or some sort of gender-swap OVA thing as a shout out.
