Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mecha action meets off the wall hijinks
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2010

Here it is, the first series out of three in the Full Metal Panic anime franchise in full HD! Witness how Sousuke Sagara and Kaname Chidori first met and how the action and humorous hijinks ensues(and continues on). The insane, off the wall comedy will at times have you literally almost rolling on the group and the intense Mecha action and drama on the battlefield will hit home. Anyway, on with the review.

Video:

Although this is a blu-ray remastered release, oddly it's in 4x3, full screen aspect ratio instead of the usual 16x9, widescreen aspect ratio used in high definition media. This means you have to manually configure your TV's aspect ratio to widescreen(16x9) if you want to get rid of the black bars on the left and right sides of the screen, if your TV or blu-ray player doesn't do this automatically. I really don't see why they did this for the blu-ray release. Maybe they couldn't get the rights to the full HD remaster of the series. Who know. Anyhow, aside from that, the video quality is really good. The colors are vibrant, the outlines on the characters, mecha, and etc are very sharp. You don't get any kind of blurry, hazy, or distorted parts whatsoever in any of the episodes.

Audio:

The HD audio remastering of this version is really good like a lot of blu-ray conversions of once DVD only material. The music is more powerful and clear, the sound effects are more powerful and crisp. Also, the quality of the character's voices was a lot clearer and more dynamic. These are to expected from blu-ray audio, though. The better your audio set up for your TV is, the closer you get to the "theater-like" sound experience.

Story:

Well, what can I say? It's over the top comedy fused with Mecha action and drama. You get a little bit of everything in this show. Scenes where you will laugh really hard, scenes where you will be gripping the edge of your seat/chair/couch/etc, scenes where you will feel the pain the characters are feeling, and scenes where you will feel warm and fuzzy inside. A very brilliant story, indeed. It has enough mechs and action to drawn in the mecha/action anime fans, enough comedy and romance to attract the comedy and romantic comedy anime fans, and enough gripping drama to lure the drama and "thought provoking" anime fans. A hardcore warrior-minded mercenary boy clueless to the ways of normal, every day civilian life meets violent, tomboy-ish (somewhat)normal civilian girl clueless to the ways of life on the battlefield was never portrayed as well as this. Definitely a must see for any anime fan.

This anime is great for those people who enjoy a mech anime with a side of comedy. This is fish out water story where mercenary Sousuke who is 16-17 years old has to join a school in Tokyo to watch over a girl named Kaname because of her "whispered" abilities. From there a good action and comedy story takes place. This season is more on the action side which doesn't take away from the fact that it is a great show.

If you are into the comedic aspects then watching or purchasing Full Metal Panic!? Fumoffu is for you, not much action in that series.

The animation is great for having been produced in 2002, especially compared to shows being produced at the time With that let me discuss the reason for the title above, while the english dub sounds good and no actor is bad, I personally felt that Sousuke's personality and the fact that he is oblivious to everything he is doing wrong is lost with the english dub. Even with the Japanese audio being in stereo I would say stick with that, but if you dislike reading subtitles then the english audio is perfectly fine.

I really enjoy when a show or anime can blend together multiple genres and make a successful final product, the only genre that ends up lacking a little bit is the romance but that is a result of the characters personalities and interactions aka Sousuke is again oblivious to everything not military related.

Rating: 4.5/5

5.0 out of 5 stars Loveable Series!

I won't go into too much details about the plot as the description covers it or you can check it up on Funi's main page. For the price I paid for of 33 USD this was a steal I mean the series is half a decade old already but the transition from SD (watched it as fansubs) to Bluray quality is a huge difference. I can't say much for the subbing as they seem on-par for the most part as I only have 2 years of Japanese during high school and let's say it is really rusty. If you have watched this series and loved it I definitely recommend picking this up but if not this anime has great action, comedy, and a little drama.

BTW a little side note don't ask me about the dubs as I believe dubs are always horrible the only exception is Gundam Wing, Escaflowne, Robotech(well duh since it is an Americanized Macross), Guyver(not the new one, the original one), Ghost in the Shell, and Samurai Pizza Cats(though I ain't even sure this even came out in Japan). I'm pretty sure there's a few out there that I missed but these I know for sure.

At times I forgot I was watching an animated show ... not that being animated is anything wrong couse why would I get this if I thought that, but it has such a tight wellwritten plot, strong charachters, animation feels noir ish at times so this first season feels like it has been polished over and over to get to this Quality. Again an Anime series that beats almost every live action series.

中学2年の息子が英語に興味もってくれる様に購入しました。
しかし、英語字幕が英語音声と合ってません。日本語音声の直訳みたいですね。
まぁ、日本語音声を聞いて英語字幕を読んで手軽に英語を楽しむには良いかと思うのですが。

純粋に日本語で楽しむ分には申し分ないですよ。
価格も国内版と比べると破格でしょうから。

で、息子は日本語版は楽しく見ています。
