this was an amazing show
i often wonder if the Agent from Crackdown would fit well in this universe XD and if (in a fight) if Sousuke or the Agent would win

Episodes 1-14 are entertaining, covering a wide swath of Comedy/Action/Drama without either getting bogged down by the other. However from Episodes 14-24 the thing becomes an exercise in Excessive Melodrama about characters I don't care about. Personally though, I preferred Fomoffu.
Never watched, and don't plan on doing so.
Sounds like your typical Highschool based action anime.

Gonna have to agree. I piss myself every time Sousuke does a controlled detonation of his locker because he thinks someone has tampered with it.Straying Bullet said:
Behold. One of the only three animes I genuinely enjoyed.
Great show, great stylizing, and a lot less of that sloppy keyframe bullshit that chokes 99% of the anime I've seen.

With regards to the odd split between comedy and action, as well as the lacking Sci-Fi, this is an aspect where the light novels (at least what I've managed to read) have progressed a great deal farther and thus have also improved upon most of the less than stellar (though still excellent) elements. The plot, which admittedly is somewhat incoherent as of season one, tightens and most of the comedic elements are lost as the action and Sci-Fi becomes prominent. As such, you probably shouldn't stick with the series further than Fumoffu if you came for the comedy.
Also. Tessa is awesome and should have more screen time.

Full Metal Panic was/is awesome, and deserves another season, we've got more than enough material to work with from the books.
I liked the blend of comedy and action, I thought that it wasn't too jarring of a transition int he episodes where action was the main part, though it is true the comedy episodes exist in a vacuum. My favorite part of the series was the evolving relationship between Kaname and Souske, though that was more in The Second Raid. Whether or not that evolution could be considered natural or not I can't say, but it did make me go "awwwww".
Fumofuu almost broke my interest of the series completely. Hated most of it, thought it was a total waste of time. Yeah there were a few good one off gags, but the lack of focus on the things I really liked about the series made it feel like episode 4 of Endless Eight. Yeah, I went there.
Oh yeah, creepiest thing ever is Tessa sliding across the floor with that grin and the blood.

Personally I'm more a fan of the novels, Though I would kill for an adaption of 'Dancing a Very Merry Christmas' and 'Continuing on my Own' even if it does lead to melodrama.
I watched all three series and found them all quite enjoyable. Both Sousuke's overreactions to civilian life and his battles in the mecha entertained me.
