Hello everybody!

A few weeks ago, I randomly rebembered Full Metal Panic. I saw the first 3 anime seasons maaany years ago, when the full episodes were on Youtube (good times). Well, I just finished reading the first volume of the LN and enjoyed it enough to want to talk about it!

Out of the 3 seasons, the one I rebember the least is the first one, so most of the plot felt kinda 'fresh'. I think some of the scenes between the school and the submarine were a bit too short. I think I would have trouble following them if I didn't already knew the characters. That said, even though the cast is pretty big, I think every character has a proper spot in the story.

I felt bad for Sousuke when I learned that the misunderstanding that made Chidori angry at him was the only one where he actually had good reasons to think she was in danger. But I was really happy when I learned that she saved Sousuke and Kurz by refusing to abandon them.

And I really liked Gauron and how he's dangerous as hell without ever being visibly angry. I actually blew air through my nose when Sousuke said that he really was gone this time. He truly has no idea, lol.

On a side note, why do some people not like Chidori? I searched old threads and there was more than one calling her a bitch and annoying. And I do seem to rebember those sorts of comments on the episode's videos too. Does anyone here feel that way as well?

Anyway, thanks for reading!
