haro genki Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 The first series was the only one GONZO animated, Fumoffu was done by Kyoto animation and I think TSR by wowow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fort Max Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 Speaking of which, I've yet to find if Bandai or any other companies have started to come out with FMP model kits of the Arm Slaves. I'm not so much interested in the trading figures- gashpon, but prefer more articulated and to scale figrues. I'm sort of surprised that it's been technically three seaons now (including Fumoffu) that I've yet to find a model kit. Arbalest come baby come. 348710[/snapback] I wouldn't be buying Gashapon if there were any other alternatives, Bandai could make a small fortune with kits similar to their Gasaraki ones, HCMP's or even ASiA's. A regular Captain's Uniform Tessa figure would be very nice to have. 348691[/snapback] You mean like these? *snip* 348713[/snapback] Is that... Guy from GaoGaiGar in the bottom left... If it is then I may have to download Grand Glorious Gathering after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totallyrobot Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 (edited) Cool, I saw this thread and I thought I would give FMP a try. The prologue and episode one are good. Thanks for a great heads up. On the downside, I am trying to d/l the whole series at once and have never seen so many leachers in my life (more than 3/4).

wolfx Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 (edited) I just finished it. Its cool to see Tessa come out of "tai-sa" character and be a normal teenager at the end. Every season of FMP should have that...even if its for a split second. Overall a good season. My complaints are: ***SPOILERS*** 1.) WTF....Gaulin is Arnie? He doesn't die does he? I wonder if he comes back from the dead again as a killer cyborg next season..... 2.) Tessa's bro just showed up for an episode and no development on him at all, except he was on Almagam's side. 3.) The twins were not expanded enough....they were just there for fanservice and died with little importance. 4.) Needs more Tessa. 5.) Wasn't Mithril the most technologically superior faction? Seems now there is an Almagam and they were behind everything from the start and they have their Whispered too. 6.) So....uhh...what was Chidori's specialisation as a Whispered again?

Spatula Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Well with your 2nd point, it's pretty much starting ground for a fourth season (perhaps called the Third Raid) to explain more of that. To your 6th point, I think this was explained in the 1st season as she could somehow have a special ability to use the Lambda driver more effectively thank Sousuke. I think...

Fortress_Maximus Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Whoot! Looks like I've have to dig up the old FMP dvds and have a marathon. Oh and as for the Tessa changing panty figures, it is really quite nice and pretty detailed for its size. Was tempted to get one but passed. It really isn't that eechi, you should see what you have in the doujinshis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grss1982 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Just rewatched this show last night. And I was wondering what ever happened to the head mounted knife in the ARX-7 Arbalest? IRCC, Sagara used that during the initial fight with Gauron in Episode 6/7 of the original FMP. Also I just recently noticed that the Arbalest now has a knife on its left hip. (FMP: TSR Ep. 13).

grss1982 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I recently went on an FMP and FMP:TSR marathon and I was wondering.. Did anybody notice how that ARX-7 from FMP and FMP: TSR are different in color? FMP = White-Black combo http://www.full-metal-panic.com/hangar/hangar.php FMP: TSR = White-Blue(ish) combo http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/7783/vlcsnap330507fl.png http://img390.imageshack.us/img390/2368/vlcsnap340585io.png http://i3.tinypic.com/xmvhuo.png Coudl it be the change from Gonzo to Kyoto Animation, perhaps? BTW what the heck is Souske using in reeling in the 4th venom he took down in FMP: TSR Ep. 13 http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/2807/vlcsnap362303zu.png http://i3.tinypic.com/xmvdqp.png http://i3.tinypic.com/xmvjue.png Detonation cord or something?

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 (edited) Oh yeah I remember they got into a big fight (not sure if this was in fumoffu though) where there was supposed to be a bet between who could do the job of being a mech pilot (the loser had to run around naked) but now I remember: at the end they made up so they ended up friends again. My mistake. See that's what happens to your brain when you try to watch too many different animes at once in marathon sessions: you forget stuff and your memory is generally messed up.

Make sure you don't get the jacked video-masters that marred the R1-Fumoffu video. Yup. We have Tessa goodness as well as Episode 00 - the preview to the series on the R2 DVD volume 1. We are using a collection of the R2 covers for the R1 release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I will still watch it beforehand anyway, and gladly buy discs when they come. Unless Funi stretches it to an insulting number of discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fort Max Posted May 28, 2006 Author Share Posted May 28, 2006 Ah finally, it's about damn time that someone did something with this show. I'm glad Funi got it since it means we'll see it here in the UK a lot quicker then we would have done under ADV. On another note, I just watched the OVA today, I wasn't expecting much from it to be honest so I was very pleasnetly surprised by a) just how funny it was and b) that every character had an equally good scene interacting with Tessa. Being a mecha nut I found the bit with the *ahem* reprogrammed M9's to be simply brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fort Max Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 (edited) FMP is kicking again, there may not be a new show yet but there is stuff to talk about. First dvd is out in the US and it is sucha sweet package that I boke down and imported, fantastic presentation by Funimation and it has all the original dub cast returning and turning in even better perfomances then before. Also of interest to fans, Atlieri Sai, the guys behind the recent poseable pvc trading figures (which were nicely detailed but had poor value) are doing some 1/60 scale AS figures in the lovely ABS that real toys are made of. Thanks to Asterphage on TBDX for the news. Edited November 22, 2006 by Fort Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
