Kaname Chidori's one of the most popular girls at her high school - unfortunately, it's her growing popularity off campus she should be worrying about. Unbeknownst to Kaname, terrorists are plotting her abduction, believing she possesses the rare and coveted abilities of "the Whispered."
That's where Sousuke Sagara enters the picture. He's a hotshot soldier from the clandestine counter-terrorist organization known as Mithril - and he's going undercover at Kaname's school to try and keep her safe. He may be an ace in the cockpit of an Arm Slave mech, but there's no training in the world that could prepare him for the warzone of high school.

Great series
by ALEXANDER
One of the best Anime to watch especially if you're just starting out. It has a really nice blend of genres from Mecha, Action to romantic comedy. I will the shows tone tends to shift a lot which can be a little weird, but still it is a fantastic series.
Excellent Show, So-so Release
by Nathan D. -
While Full Metal Panic itself is excellent, the video quality on this release is kinda iffy. FMP is right on the cusp of old enough to need a remaster, and the CG is quite low-resolution, and they letterboxed the 4:3 OP, resulting in a windowboxing effect on modern 16:9 TVs. The audio is also only stereo on both languages.
It's quite reasonably priced, though, and this is the best release of FMP to date.
A great "original" series
by Braulio -
FMP is a great series but i think they lost something in the pass of year´s but...
Here and in FMP Fullmofu are the great shine moment´s of the franchise!
The series is a "mark" in anime history; must because in what they did!, a "multi face" series blendind in the mix drama, humor, love? and a sci-fi theme and they maded a great series not the normal disaster when a anime try to focus various theme´s.
Is a great series of action! (Ok! the CG is really outdated for today).
Great humor!
And great story and vilain!
Is a series very fun to watch series!
If you want action, humor and even romance!?
You will found all here!
Good intro into Mecha
by BuckBran
I had never been a Mecha fan and really never had any interest in watching Mecha, but I kinda wanted to watch this one because it seemed to be more than just Mecha, so I gave it a try. I actually enjoyed the Mecha aspect better than I thought too so I’ll likely watch more mecha in the future. Good action and serious battle scenes are awesome. There is some comedy and ridiculous stuff but it is usually reserved for situations where it doesn’t clash with serious situations. Pretty good overall anime.
More than mecha anime
by Katherine
Hilarious (fish-out-of-water misunderstandings), cute romance arc, exciting fight scenes, great plot. The English voice acting and animation is clean and well done for every Full Metal Panic season that's out (i.e., this one, Fumoffu, Second Raid, Invisible Victory). The characters are likeable and easy to get emotionally attached to. Focuses on mechs without feeling like "mecha anime". I mean that in a positive way - the characters feel "real" and there is more to the world/story than the mechs (though there are many - surprisingly engaging - mech battles). Full Metal Panic is hands-down my favorite anime, and has been for years. For reference, in case it helps identify the "style" of anime I like, I'm also very fond of Noragami, Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun, Devil is a Part Timer, Irresponsible Captain Tyler, Death Note, and Pumpkin Scissors. I found Guilty Crown, Deadman Wonderland, Naruto, and Fairy Tail to be boring. If you have similar tastes, I recommend giving FMP a try :)
