Indeed. I hope with Gatoh involved this won't happen. I hope they do it over 2 seasons at least.

Honestly, I'm not sure where would be a good stopping point. Continuing on My Own is a great footnote, but it's also
much despair
man, am I still salty over Nami

"The death" as a cliffhanger ending of the first season. Something like Code Geass S1 Ep 25 and the scrapped version of R2 which continued at the exact moment S1 ended.
Awesome, think I'm gonna start this pretty soon while I still have my funi sub, I see that you don't need a sub but I think (?) you need it to watch on ps4.
Me reading the title:
"New Full Metal"
"Panic"
OH MY
HOOOOOLYYYYYY! Hahaha
Never get a sequel FMA. Stay Godlike as you are, and never get born into this age of fanservice and chinaproductions
Gatoh has done the series composition and written scripts for some episodes for all the FMP animes, and he said he will write this one too so I'm not too worried about the pacing, I'm sure he knows what parts to omit and when to add more.
My only worry right now is the animation, I hope it's a good studio with a good enough budget.

Not really "news" per say, but we can now discredit one rumor for those who may have heard about it. A rumor that the new anime adaptation of Full Metal Panic! being produced at Bones with Eureka 7's Tomoki Kyoda directing. has since been proven false.
No, not really as nobody came out and said they weren't. There's just nothing to indicate god damn anything.

Fair enough. I'm just posted it so people know this particular rumor isn't true.

I late to this news. I did a(nother) re-watch of the series last year and I'm looking forward to the new one.
Huh, I didn't know (or forgot) that a new anime series was announced, anyway there is an "important announcment" with the voice actors at Fantasia Bunko Daikanshasai in october 22th.

There was a resolution to the open ending. I don't recommend you watch it.
The movie? It just made it even more open ended.
Also, is the series anything like Neon Genisis? That OP pick makes it look so.
Nope, think high school comedy but with some serious gundam like moments and action.
Nah, except for the mechas they are quite different. FMP is more action/comedy oriented while NGE is more serious and there is that alien-ish threat or whatever it was they have to fight (it's been a long time since I've seen it).

No, the mechs are like 8 meters tall (around 3 stories high) in the novels. Anime increased the size for recognition and familiarity.
Protagonist isn't Shinji.
There is no religious related plot or anything. Just a fictionized version of war with stuff that "shouldn't exist but it does".
It gets waaaay more hardcore and grittier, which is one of the theories as to why the rest of the novels haven't been animated.

Far from it. There's military action, but then there are high school stuff that revolves around the main character because he's a fish out of water when it comes to normal teenager stuff (he grew up as a child soldier). The second season basically takes that part and turns it up to 11 and it's hilarious. Season 3 is more grounded, but still has its humor sprinkled in.

Fumoffu (S2) is the sidestories.
Story wise: S1->TSR with Fumoffu as side stories from the first 5 books.

Hmmm... sounds interesting and If the anime continues in this direction I'll give it a shot!

I love The Second Raid so much. I hope the new anime does the later even darker stuff justice Like TSR did.

I've never watched this, but it came to my attention recently, so it's on the list of stuff I want to get to soon. Feels like a show I'll really like.
The idea that I can get through what's already out and immediatley get to a new series sounds pretty great.

Fumoffu is the GOAT in comedy, only rivaled by the Flame Alchemist episode in the original FMA.
The amount of parodies they make is just insane.
Indy and the Raiders of the Lost Ark
Not at all. Its main character is a badass no-nonsense child soldier type of guy. So the show swaps between two main settings: He's either a badass soldier mecha pilot, or he's handling his other mission of "blending in with society" to protect some high school girl, which he completely blows at because he's been a soldier his whole life.
The high school stuff tends to serve as comic relief while the soldier stuff is good at showing that he is amazing when he's in his element. Later on, the two parts of the show kind of blend together as the plot advances.
It sounds cliche now, but I remember it being hilarious and well animated at the time. I don't know how well it aged.

Looks like that will be when we'll get the animation studio and a timeline for when it will air. Thanks for the info.

I kinda hope they do a full reboot from the beginning. I loved the originals, but I think a cohesive (visually) reboot that goes all the way for a few seasons would be ideal.

I mean, Fumoffu pretty much solidified Chidori as the best girl ever.

Fomoffu was indeed better than FMP. I hope we do get a new version of it, too!Call me when it's Fumoffu part 2.

Wrong. She's a good second though!
Mao's first.
Tessa's last. After every other girl in the show. Dead last.
