Full Metal Panic!	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Full Metal Panic! is a hybrid novel/manga/anime franchise, which tells the stories of Sergeant Sousuke Sagara, a young soldier of the mercenary anti-terrorism organization Mithril, and Kaname Chidori, the Japanese high school student he's assigned to protect.Unbeknownst even to herself, Kaname possesses special knowledge that numerous organizations would like dearly to control for their own means. As such, Sousuke is assigned to infiltrate her high school in order to protect her while pretending to be an ordinary student, and without her knowing that she's in danger. Sousuke, unfortunately, has no social experience outside his military life, having been literally raised as a soldier, and thus has no idea how to properly act in civilian life.Hilarity Ensues, but before long, Kaname will be drawn into Sousuke's world as well, when the forces that want her for their own make their move to seize the girl, kicking off a globe-hopping plot as Sousuke balances his bodyguard duties for Kaname with his duties as a member of Mithril's military forces.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Full Metal Panic! originally debuted as a series of Light Novels in Japan, books with interspersed illustrations. The series proved so popular that it was adapted first as a serialized manga in Newtype magazine, and later as an anime by Gonzo Animation. Two more series, Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu (2003), and Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid (2005) were produced by Kyoto Animation (With Fumoffu actually being the first anime that KyoAni produced themselves) and were directed by Yasuhiro Takemoto with Shoji Gatoh and Fumihiko Shimo both serving as series composers and Osamu Horiuchi serving as character designer and chief animation director. While the original and Second Raid are both more serious action stories, Fumoffu is much Lighter and Softer. Xebec continued the anime as Full Metal Panic! Invisible Victory in 2018.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })There's a stand alone manga called Full Metal Panic! Surplus, which doesn't have a determined timeline, but it takes place in Hong Kong where a rogue Arm Slave tries to wreak havoc in the Taiwan Strait.Bandai Namco Entertainment released Full Metal Panic! Fight Who Dares Wins for the Playstation 4, which is a retelling of Invisible Victory with some hidden endings, cutscenes and has a turn-based fighting system, albeit it's called the Action Order System.Despite the multiple formats, FMP! has managed to remain rather consistent between the novels themselves and the media that adapt them, with only minor changes. The twelfth novel (which is set to be the last full-length volume, though more short stories have not been ruled out) was released in 2010. The first season of the anime adapts the storyline of the first three novels while The Second Raid adapts the next two. Invisible Victory adapts novels 7-9. Two of the mangas, Full Metal Panic! and its sequel Full Metal Panic! Sigma, cover the complete story, and have been fully scanlated into English. There was brief talk of a live-action movie adaptation in 2009, but that died down quickly and no more is expected to come of it.As part of the release of Invisible Victory, Lantis worked with Shouji Gatou in creating an audio drama adaptation of the sixth light novel, Dancing Very Merry Christmas. It began releasing in 2016.Originally licensed for North American release by Tokyopop in 2007, the light novels were re-licensed by J-Novel Club in March 2019.A sequel novel series titled Full Metal Panic! Another came out between 2011 and 2016; set ten years after the events of the original series, it inverts Sosuke and Kaname's dynamic by focusing on Tatsuya Ichinose, an Ordinary High-School Student (though one who prefers older foreign women), and Adelina Aleksandrovina Kurenskaya, a cool-headed female soldier who works for DOMS, a Private Military Contractor run by Melissa Mao, now thrice-divorced from Kurz. Spoilers ahoy.◊The principal cast includes:

Full Metal Panic! / int_11185d9	type	Motion-Capture Mecha
Full Metal Panic! / int_11185d9	comment	Motion Capture Mecha: Downplayed by the Arm Slaves, which have their pilots strapped into seats in the cockpit but are controlled primarily by petals strapped to the pilot's legs and articulating armatures they slip their arms into. Moving the pedals and armatures moves the legs and arms of the machine, "slaving" the movement of mech to the movements of the pilot, hence their name. However, a cockpit limits the full range of motion, so Arm Slaves allow the pilot to set the sensitivity of the motions, requiring only small motions on the part of the pilot to enable large motions on the part of the Arm Slave. Lower sensitivity is easier for a novice pilot to use but limit the responsiveness of the machine, while higher sensitivity allows for more rapid maneuvers but requires much finer control on the pilot's part to avoid overbalancing and falling over.

So instead, she puts the gun to her own temple and demands to be given a wireless radio so she can speak to Sousuke, during which she finally confesses to him.

Full Metal Panic! / int_1230e19e	comment	Overranked Soldier: Sousuke Sagara is 16 at the beginning of the anime;, but a fearsomely-skilled sergeant in a paramilitary organization. His commander, Teletha "Tessa" Testarossa, is about the same age and has her position almost solely by virtue of the bizarre racial memory gift possessed by those called The Whispered, which meant that she designed the submarine. Sousuke's colleague Kurz Weber also qualifies, though not to quite the same extreme as Sousuke and Tessa; he's only nineteen at the start of the series and the Light Novels eventually reveal that he began training as a sniper at the age of about fifteen.

Full Metal Panic! / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: The Second Raid is marginally Darker and Edgier than the first season, and can come as quite a shock for viewers coming fresh off of Fumoffu. Bloodier and Gorier: The Second Raid is also a significant margin grittier than the original Full Metal Panic. Special mention goes to a scene where a man's throat is cut open, and all the muscles and cartilage inside is clearly visible. The Full Metal Panic Sigma manga is this to the 3rd anime season and it's even more gritter, one of the changes is with the twin sent to kill Kaname instead of getting her neck crushed like in the anime she is instead nearly blown in half with some of her guts sent flying from the Gun blast from the Alastor's Arm Cannon. The main story also turned sour and darker after The End of Day by Day.

Full Metal Panic! / int_14ed6ab7	type	Does This Remind You of Anything?
Full Metal Panic! / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: A hair cut, of all things. The entire scene is treated with a large degree of intimacy, and afterwards Sousuke and Kaname are acting as though they just got it on. Normally this would sound ridiculous... but since it's Sousuke, it makes sense. On Sousuke's part, that act was probably the equivalent of them making out, taking into account his intimacy issues and the fact that appealing to his trust issues turns him on more than anything else (including skimpy outfits or overt flirting). On Kaname's part, this act was the most intimate that they've had. Seeing how their relationship thus far had strictly been on a No Hugging, No Kissing basis, her standards of intimacy had been lowered considerably. So in other words he closest thing to sex with Sousuke was giving him a haircut. note To go further, even with Kaname being the one to do it, he still has trust issues about it that subconsciously bother him later on. He has nightmares about it, where she slits his throat with the razor. So yes, to him, it was a bit too intimate and a very large sacrifice for him to allow her to do that. Guess she was moving too fast for him. The "Feudal Japanese Spider-Man" show in Second Raid. Spider-Man gets this a lot with his webbing, but this time the webbing really didn't look like webbing at all. Especially when he shot it all over that guy's face.

However, Sousuke quickly susses out that Leonard is trying to divert Mithril's only Lambda-driver equipped Arm Slave away from Merida Island, where he and the Belial will be. Thus, he leaves the Afghanistan mission to Clouseau and Mao while he and Tessa head off to confront Leonard.

Full Metal Panic! / int_1cfd58fc	comment	Clown Car: The Tuatha De Danaan looks like a exceptionally large aircraft carrier turned into a submarine when we see it from the inside or during one of its oceanic voyages, but then an AS (25ft tall) stands on top of the thing and suddenly we find out it's the size of a frigate at most. Which means there's no way any of what it carries can fit in it at all. "Toy Box" indeed. It actually weighs 44,000 tonnes, so at least it has that capacity. Plus, as we see, all AS's are stored in crouching positions at all times, except for shortly before deployment at the top of the ship - so it's hardly breaking the rules of space in the hanger bay, at least. Compare the novel to the anime; the size of the average Arm Slave is 8-10 meters (former), or 15-18 meters (latter) - the Tuatha De Danann could also vary in size during shots.

He even states at one point, "Piloting the A.S. is the only form of self-expression I know." He ends up breaking down in the final novel, sobbing that he doesn't want to die before he returns to Jindai High with Kaname like he promised. Not to mention both Kaname and Tessa in the final novel, after it looks like Sousuke was killed in a nuclear blast. They both think to themselves that it seems too unreal to believe, and Tessa thinks it'll probably catch up with her later.

Full Metal Panic! / int_2bdae2ae	type	Awesome, but Impractical
Full Metal Panic! / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: Leonard's Plan-1055 Belial. While it has an extremely powerful Lambda Driver, which makes the thing almost invincible, it has no ranged weapons (like the Savage's twin 14.5mm cheek machine guns or the Arbalest's head Vulcan guns) bar a strange bow. Said lack of weaponry comes back to bite Leonard in the ass when Sousuke fires the Laevatein's Demolition Gun at point-blank, exploding the Belial's left side and overloading its Lambda Driver, putting it out of commission. A few moments after that, he escapes the Laevatein's cockpit and fires an M72 LAW rocket at the damaged Belial, taking it out with a wounded Leonard incapable of retaliating. In a similar vein, the Plan-1201 Behemoth. Its colossal size makes it a force to be reckoned with, but the fact that it requires a Lambda Driver to not collapse upon itself strains the device to the point it creates a weak spot in its defensive barrier, and allows Kurz to defeat one.

Wonderful. To be fair, it's explained better in the novels. But since it's done mostly through inner monologues, it was difficult to do in the anime. Not to mention, the Deus Ex Machina was kinda the point (almost literally). Kaname herself doesn't know what she's doing at the time, and it is a valid plot point that they keep seeking an explanation for during several books, and is only truly revealed in the last 2 novels.

It's an older model Savage, so compared to the standardized Rk-92 seen elsewhere in FMP! it's lighter, underpowered, has cooling issues, and the controls can be kind of finicky. The only aspects that match up with this trope are the custom paint job (white with navy accents) and nickname, both of which hearken back to Sousuke's Arbalest.

For lack of better ideas, she casually chats him up in hopes that she can pull an answer from him, but instead finds herself oddly charmed by his awkwardness and decides she'll let the "stray puppy" follow her around for a little longer... Until he shows up on her porch with her underwear in his hands, after which she beats him half to death with a baseball bat and makes a point of avoiding him until his true intentions come to light

Full Metal Panic! / int_4d1423b9	comment	Become a Real Boy: This happens to Al, Sousuke's support AI. Through out the series, Al develops human-like traits like making jokes, using sarcasm, annoying Sousuke by playing BGM during battles, and making decisions based on "gut feeling" rather than calculations. Later in the novels, Al needs his AI upgraded in order to use the XL-3 flight booster, with the Mithril mechanic noting that it'll bring him close to full sentience. This culminates in the penultimate chapter of the series right before Merida Island was hit by a nuclear strike, Al asks Sousuke "I want to try something, but first I want to ask. Am I human, or machine?" and Sousuke responds with "...decide it for yourself. People... do that." This in turn saves both Sousuke and Al by allowing Al to activate the lambda driver on his own without a human catalyst.

By the time of the story, roughly 50 years later, every leadership position in Amalgam other than Mr Mercury's had been replaced at least twice, with people who were invariably not as principled as the founders, resulting in the organization that is Mithril's nemesis. Specifically, it turned from a war-stopping organization (even Cuban Missile Crisis, natch) into a war-prolonging one for personal profits. In fact, Mr Mercury was so horrified as to what Amalgam had become that he created Mithril to stop them. invoked It's stated that, given enough time, Mithril would suffer the same fate as Amalgam, as the original members would be replaced and their objectives would change.

Anime Fumoffu and Manga Overload have this as their focus; so do most of the short stories.

Full Metal Panic! / int_7eb49b31	comment	Almost Kiss: When pulling Sousuke out of the water near the end of episode 8 in Season 1, Kaname thinks he's going to kiss her, so she closes her eyes and puckers up. Then the next scene occurs, and Sousuke is merely getting excess water off his clothing, while Kaname is still in a kissing mode. She later angrily storms off when he thinks her red face is from sickness. Played straight in Episode 6 when it looks like they will kiss after Kaname refuses to leave a wounded Sousuke and Kurz behind. They jump apart on realizing Kurz is awake and grinning at them.

Full Metal Panic! / int_80a247a9	comment	Breather Episode: The Second Raid episode 6, "Edge of Heaven," the haircut episode. Episodes 8 and 13 in the first season, which are rather light-hearted compared to the previous episodes where a lot of intense action takes place. Sigma does this by re-arranging the order of the stories adapted. After Kurz dies, the next three volumes are composed of lighter stories including "Engaging Six and Seven"note the story of how Sousuke, Kurz, and Mao became a team and "A Cat and Kitten's Rock 'n Roll"note where Tessa and Mao get into an argument and settle it with a mock AS battle, capping off with the "Die Hard" on an X Christmas Episode Dancing Very Merry Christmas, which was originally the 6th novel overall and is depicted here as Kaname's Flash Back. After that, the story swings into the final story arc, comprised of the events of the last two novels.

Kaname is still in enemy hands at the end of the anime adaptation of Invisible Victory. It is unknown whether there will be a follow-up to wrap up this story. And given that Xebec has shut down, the franchise will either have to move to yet another studio to wrap up this arc or be forever in limbo.

Mao catches on when she notices that Sousuke curbstomped a much more advanced AS during a training match (something he claims was a lucky fluke). Offscreen Teleportation: Moments after Melissa questioned him about the training match 'fluke', Sousuke breaks up an impending fight between her and Kurz, moving from his bunk at the end of the barracks to her side without her noticing.

Full Metal Panic! / int_a86069f	comment	Alternate History: The Soviet Union continues to exist in the present and so does the Cold War (plus mecha). In addition, China went through a civil war, with Hong Kong partitioned into Communist-controlled north and Democratic-controlled south sections, similar to Berlin, and an ECS-using nuclear missile was used on US-led coalition forces during the 1991 Gulf War. This is a plot point. According to both Leonard and Tessa, the experiment at Yamsk-11 made it possible for information to travel back in time and into the "whispered", which ended up altering history from that point forward. The UN has its own assets such as aircraft, rather than seconding them from member nations as in our reality. The Chemical Weapons Treaty apparently does not exist.

For every story arc adapted into anime, the final episode of that arc takes its name from the English phrase of the corresponding novel. With the exception of The Second Raid, each episode uses the phrase in English. (TSR uses the phrase "hi bi" in both the first and last episodes, which translates to "day by day.") And the titles of the side-story collections are puns on Japanese phrases containing the number of the collection.

Full Metal Panic! / int_cc15293d	comment	Unexpected Genre Change: The second season, Fumoffu, served mostly to give the fans something to watch in between the more serious first and third seasons. As a result, it goes from gritty realism to off-the-wall slapstick comedy and back again. Occurs to a lesser extent in "filler" episodes of the first season, where it has an ALMOST Fumoffu-like style to it. Such as using Arm Slaves for a school event.

Ironically, years later Sousuke would get his own Expy in the Gundam franchise: Setsuna F. Seiei. Admiral Jerry Borda, according to Word of God, is an expy of former US Navy Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Jerome Boorda. Majeed, the Tiger of Badakhshan, the mujahedin leader who was Sousuke's target (and later commander), is an obvious expy of Ahmad Shah Massoud, the Lion of Panjshir.

Full Metal Panic! / int_f27ec906	comment	Identical Stranger: When Sousuke goes AWOL in Hong Kong he met a prostitute who really resemble Kaname. Foil points are while Kaname is violent Tsundere cheerful Ordinary High-School Student, the prostitute is one world-weary drunk Hooker. Fortunately, Sousuke didn't do much beyond drinking alcohol together in her room and got his spirit back in time to save the day. Sousuke is shown to have his own identical stranger in one story, a popular actor and Teen Idol who briefly begs to switch places with him so he can see what being an Ordinary High-School Student is like

Full Metal Panic! / int_f3f391f6	comment	Fission Mailed: A non-Video Game example. At Yamsk 11, after coming into contact with the Whisperer, Kaname seemingly goes nuts and shoots Tessa and Sousuke dead. Sousuke wakes up shortly thereafter, realizing that it was just a vision of a possible future. Kaname, however, remains convinced that it really happened and they're both dead; after it's revealed that the Whisperer took over Kaname's body, we learn that the real Kaname was forcing her to believe in the illusion so Amalgam wouldn't consider Mithril a threat anymore and lower their defenses.

Full Metal Panic! / int_f40bff1	comment	Caucasian Asian: An early episode has one of the KGB agents referring to Gauron as a "Chinaman". He corrects the agent, saying that he's Japanese. Given the original market, it seems to be more to explain to viewers that Gauron isn't Chinese despite having a Cantonese handle (technically speaking, he's known as "Gaulung") and to foreshadow that he's not Khmer, despite his service as a Child Soldier under the Khmer Rouge.

In the first episode of the original anime, the pile of "average high schooler belongings" gathered for Sousuke includes a copy of Dragon Magazine, the publication which serialized the FMP novels — it even has Lina Inverse on the cover.

It turned out that Gauron had been injured there before, and had a metal plate in his skull from the treatment of that earlier injury that stopped the bullet.

In the final volume, Tessa's team rushes to evacuate the soon-to-be-nuked Merida Island, only to discover that a white Bengal tiger has already boarded their escape plane. Short on time and seeing the tiger to be bafflingly tame, Tessa and Mardukas decide the tiger can come with them. They wind up turning it over to the Honolulu Zoo.
