Full Metal Panic!

Full Metal Panic! (Katakana: フルメタルパニック!, often abbreviated to FMP!) is the name of an anime series which originally aired in 2002. It is based on a manga series of the same title by Shouji Gatou and Retsu Tateo. The anime was produced by GONZO Digimation.

There also exists a manga, which was serialized in Newtype. Both the anime and the manga were based on a series of novels. Different parts of the novels form the basis for the Full Metal Panic! anime and the sequel, Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu. The manga is published in English by ADV Manga. The anime is a combination of near-futuristic combat and teen antics and relationships. Despite the similar name, it has no relation to the anime and manga series Fullmetal Alchemist.

The series is set in a modern, parallel world where the Cold War has yet to end and the KGB and other secret governmental agencies are running rampant. It follows the events of Sagara Sousuke, an unduly disciplined member of Mithril (an anti-terrorism organization which often operates under the guise of the UN), and Chidori Kaname, the schoolgirl whom he was assigned to protect. Chidori is considered to be one of the "Whispered"; that is, she possesses a inherent understanding of advanced Black Technology. Such knowledge was implanted genetically upon birth, of which she herself initially remained unaware of and consequently which she has access to only when in a near-comatose frenzy (which is generally induced through fear of harm). The Lambda Driver is an example of Black Technology which allows pilots of select Arm Slaves (combat mecha) to manifest their desires in defensive and offensive manuveurs. Therefore, the knowledge of the "Whispered" is highly desirable to both terrorists and governmental agencies alike.

Subplots
An important subplot revolves around the rivalry between Sagara and Gauron, a diehard terrorist who happens to be highly adept at utilizing the Lambda Driver, and who also happens to see Sagara as a "nuisance" to be disposed of. For this and other purposes, he goes to such lengths as hijacking a plane and employing use of Sagara's onetime comrade-in-arms. He is ruthless and self-absorbed, quick to act and often with pensive judgement, which makes him a deadly foe. He is presumably a member of A21, although it is in his personality to not acknowledge any authority other than his own. Sagara manages to overcome difficulties onset by this worthy enemy, however, having been empowered by his difficult past and having the full backing of his two fellow soldiers, Kurz Weber and Melissa Mao.

Cast

Kaname Chidori
(千鳥かなめ Kaname Chidori)

Seiyū: Satsuki Yukino

The main female protagonist of the story, she is often found in tight situations which require the battle sense of Sagara to get her out of.


Mizuki Inaba
Seiyū: Sayuri Yoshida

A classmate of Chidori who initially blames her for having stolen her boyfriend. She becomes one of her closer friends later on in the story.


Andre Kalinin
Seiyū: Akio Otsuka

Sagara's commanding officer and one of Tessa's military strategists. He is also the foster father of Sagara. He and Sousuke where once enemies, as mentioned in a two part episode by Sagara himself. The foster father status may be on the school's official papers only but Kalinin is certainly a very fatherly figure to Sagara.


Kurz Weber
Seiyū: Shinichirou Miki

An over-the-top fellow soldier of Sagura's who makes numerous failed attempts at hitting on and/or peeking at girls. Depsite his eccentricity, he is -- oddly enough -- Sagura's most trusted individual and friend. He is part of team Urzu (the callsign of their regiment), callsign Urzu 6.


Mardukas
Seiyū: Tomomichi Nishimura

An overly protective aide of Tessa's who insists on guarding her with his life.


Melissa Mao
Seiyū: Michiko Neya

Sagara's confided-in "bigger sister" who provides him keen insight as to how to attract members of the opposite sex. She is the leader of team Urzu. Her callsign is Urzu 2.


Ren Mikihara
Seiyū: Rie Tanaka

By first glance, one would never expect this charming schoolmate of Chidori's to be the daughter of a Yakuza boss. Nevertheless, she remains dignified and upstanding (though somewhat naive), especially when placed in comparison with Chidori.

Sousuke Sagara
(相良宗介 Sagara Sōsuke)

Seiyū: Tomokazu Seki

Sousuke is the unwitting hero of the story who is a member of the Urzu regiment of the Mithril anti-terrorism force. Having been raised as a guerilla fighter since the age of eight, he becomes involved in a lifestyle previously unknown to him when assigned to protect Chidori.

Teletha Testarossa
Seiyū: Yukana Nogami

Being the charming yet seemingly fragile Captain of the revered TDD-1 "Toy Box" submarine, she is a child prodigy who rose to such a high rank at the age of only sixteen. Her high level of mathematical and scientific adeptness is dwarfed only by her brother's, which seems to have given her a sense of inferiority. It is later revealed that she is also one of the Whispered.


Kyoko Tokiwa


Seiyū: Ikue Kimura

Chidori's camera-touting best friend. She is constantly trying to bring Chidori and Sagara together, however impossible it may have seemed given Sagara's tendency to blow things up at whim.
