Review of Full Metal Panic!

Note: This review was done while I was watching the series until I reached the end. If you're wondering why I gave the Art such a high rating go look up when this series was made. Also, this is a long ass review--don't deem it as unhelpful or crappy because it takes more than 2 minutes to read--I warned ya!! Its always rare to get absolutely hooked on an anime, it usually happens early in the series or in a heated event. Well, FMP will have you addicted from the very beginning(and that's a promise). I'd have to be honest saying that within the first 7episodes this anime was one of
favorites and is probably in the top five most entertaining ever.

The Characters: Although Weber and Sagara are somewhat typical for
their personality-type... this show uses them to their most enjoyable
extent(yes, there will be laughs). The girl is random, realistic,
clever, and really makes this title easier to relate to - Definitely one of the
best eyecandy female characters in anime history. Sagara will
definitely surprise you here and there - his spontaneous-ness doesn't
go with his persona... but it grows on you and makes him lovable.

Sousuke & Chidori... did you ever notice that?

Even though this show is funny and 'kawaii' it still
manages some of the best dramatic love, shootout, and loyalty scenes
I've seen in ANYTHING. The amount of action is good and it's not that
much of a tear-jerker. Basically; it has all the right ingredients.

Now I'm not just gonna rant about only the good parts 'cause I'm
ecstatic over it right now - here are some downsides to the show:
Animation is good/standard, but if was only a little glossier this
series would be a diamond. - Not enough romance, it just seems that the
sexual tension provided and the little bit of actual romantic scenes
are just not enough... given I'm saying that because they WERE so good! Things really should've gotten a little steamier between Sagara and
Chidori considering a lot of the time she was half naked.

All my claims in this review can pretty much be summed up to the
Hospital scene. If you don't believe me that is.

Throughout the series the show will go back to its old lovable roots!!
And also, Sagara & Chidori's romance grows more adorable.

Another problem with this show is the battles; often confusing and
there's just not enough emotion considering what's going on(especially
the old-friends battle).

This show is practical, romantic, exciting, and interesting enough to
keep just about anyone tuned in. A true landmark title. 9/10 In the
sense of overall(considering this anime isn't perfect I just had a
perfect time watching it). But as far as personally: 10/10. - It's just so enjoyable, and in my opinion--that's all that really matters. It's kinda like that really really greasy piece of generic pizza that tastes better than anything... there is better out there, but you're fine with this.

In the final episode you'll find yourself anticipating a disappointing
or unworthy ending, you will not receive it however.

The biggest problem with this anime is that it's very much dragged out,
but thank God it is!! I got teary at the end just because it was
ending...
