Full Metal Panic! is about this teen military soldier who is on an assignment to protect kaname chidori a blue haired high school girl.. personally i don't like mecha much (gurren lagann as an exception) but this was really good i really enjoyed this anime. there were parts of awesome action comedy romance and emotion and all four genres were very well balanced id definitely recommend this anime. it was overall very enjoyable and the show can be divided into 4 main arcs. also the main villains name rhymes with Sauron! looking forward to 2nd Raid. id give this anime a 8 on 10
