I waited 12 fckin years for FMP Invisible Victory. It ain't gonna hurt me if I wait another 12 years for Season 5. However, Im gonna be fckin 48 by that time.
@@JChuleta right on brother. I started watching Full Metal Panic and FMP Fumoffu in 2003, when I was 18 yrs old. Which is pretty much an acceptable age to watch anime. Then watched FMP The Second Raid around 2006, aged 21. Then waited 12 years to finally watch Invisible Victory, aged 33. Now, I'm 36.
hehe you not alone, brother. Funny thing this is the only anime I'm happy to watch despite waiting for so damn long. Probably the best character development between couple Kaname and Sosuke I ever seen in anime
I disagree with some of the reasons you listed, mainly the Kyoto Animation attack. It's very unfortunate and I was deeply saddened by the loss of Yoshihiro Takemoto (director of Fumoffu and The Second Raid) but neither he nor KyoAni were involved with IV. The future of the series most likely wouldn't have included them anyways. So any reasoning to not continue out of respect for him would not make sense to me, even if Gatou and him were good friends. After all, he is only 1 of 3 different directors that the series has had; his last involvement with FMP being way back in 2006. I do believe it will come back in the future, but likely not anytime soon. Gatou was determined enough to get IV made in the first place, and I agree with you that there is evidence (even an early statement) suggesting that IV was supposed to cover all of the remaining light novel stories. But my guess is that the budget only warranted just 1 cour. I'm sure Gatou wouldn't stand for leaving it incomplete when it's so close to the finish line. The issue is getting the licensor Kadokawa and other committees to back it again. Hopefully IV merch made enough of a profit to warrant an new series eventually, but only time will tell.
@@raihanwinata5329 Glad I could help fans be less sad. I'm just trying to clear up any misleading assumptions that may not be true. But I'm just a hopeful fan like the rest of you, and I believe FMP will be back someday.
I think to honor the lost, they should finish the series. The creator is still alive, he should not give up on it. TSR was one of the best series I have ever seen (I was on the edge of my seat each week). To have it end on IV would be another sad moment in the whole situation. I hope it doesn't turn into what happened to Berserk and Highschool of the dead (yes it's dumb fun but it had its moments lol). Life can be so cruel. You have these amazing works of art only to come to the realization that they may never be completed. I think the worst thing you can do is leave it unfinished. It would be an insult to the creators /directors if the series remained unfinished (in this case to see FMP fully animated).
I just binged the whole god damn show, I really really fucking hope it gets its fifth season. I usually am not the biggest anime fan but this is something I really want.
I'm a huge fan as well and honestly Mecha Animes are usually very MEH, for me, I mean I've seen gundam wing for instance but am not that into it, but FMP? Oh man, And that was I think the point where I realized I like Mecha but it has to do something genre busting for me to get into it.
I'm not the biggest mecha fan myself. I know it was big back in the 80s-00's but I love the story more than the mechas. I'm glad you've enjoyed this series
I am not a hardcore anime fan (less than 10 anime watched to completion). Ironically the two anime that I love the most are not the big names like one piece, bleach, naruto and so on. It is this and hikaru no go. These two anime are absolutely the best of the best and are not well known even among those who watch anime. In all my life I do not have many instances that I hope for something earnestly as I do for full metal panic season 5. Even if it means another 13 years I will wait provided that I am still alive by that time. I will keep on waiting with hope.
I haven't watched or read fmp in over a decade and only recently discovered that IV even existed, I showed it to my wife and we sat down and binged the whole show. It turned out to be her favorite anime and now she is pissed that it ended on such a cliff hanger haha. I really hope the anime gets picked up again and gets finished, it definitely deserves it.
If they don't make a 5th season then they should have done the sad ending of Chidori shooting herself in the helicopter, that would have been a very shocking and completely unexpected ending, but at least it would be an ending
A Superb action anime full of suppressed emotions, dark themes and hope for the future. It grew on me, beginning as a rather mundane and childish, run-of-the mill "tsundere" and clueless muscle head pairing, but quickly developed into an engaging and thoroughly captivating series. One starts rooting for Sagara and his horrendous back-story; as we appreciate the enormity and difficulty of his job. Chidori also grows up and becomes the fearless and ferorious person that she is; learning to live with her gifts. Heart wrenching to watch as all that was noble and good about Mithril was destroyed and the organization was very nearly annihilated with each character scintillating in their individual pyrrhic victories. In short, this anime is a masterpiece awaiting the fruition of all its arcs and the final resolution of the evil that is Amalgam. I will be waiting with bated breath; believing that someday it wall come!
That's sad to hear, however, I am so thankful that Lucy Christensen and Chris Patton have been recording the light novels via audible. I have been greatly enjoying listening to their narration. It's been awesome.
Ir’s very sad what’s happened in Kyoto…But i have a question: Why not change the studio? I mean, FMP! Is one of those series that every season was produced by a different studio right?
Glad you decided to dive in!! Hopefully this series is able to come to a close as an anime. It's very near and dear to my heart, so I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I heard IV being rushed and has a lot of production issues. After I watched Season 1, Fumoffu, and TSR, I switched over to the manga (Full Metal Panic Sigma). Best decision of my life. It includes the arcs from IV, as well as arcs that haven't been adapted yet. Its 10x better than how the studio handled it for IV because it provides EVERYTHING. IV would cut some stuff from the novels/manga and condense it into a 12 episode adaptation. For Sigma, you get the whole experience and is 100% faithful to the manga. I just wish the manga had more spotlight.
Binge watched season 1 and TSR .. however I’m on the 4th ep of IV and I’m honestly so far hating it. I’ve been trying my best to like it because I have grown attached to the series but the sudden change of pace, inconsistency, grade B voice acting and ESPECIALLY the CGI has been a killer for me.. does it get better?? I’d hate to drop the series now but it’s becoming difficult to watch .. as of rn I really want them to recreate IV like FMA BROTHERHOOD or something.
I totally understand why you feel that way, to me though it was great. Just wished it was longer and had finished the series rather than just give us a cliffhanger
The 25th anniversary of the series is coming soon this year and I have a feeling we may get some news. It would be honoring those who were lost for them to do one more season to finish the story.
There is a bright side to this however Ive found a website where its english for full metal panic sigma manga so people wouldnt have to question when will a eng be released for it
I discovered fmp like 5 days ago and I really think that this anime is a masterpiece they need to continue this show, I hope so but there is no information now :/
They absolutely need to and I'm glad you found about this gem of an anime. It's got a lil of everything. And yes unfortunately there has been no news but when there is, I'll make sure to jump on it so make sure you are subscribed to keep in the loop
@@JChuleta I will subscribe in the hope that one day I will find a red color notification in the bell button informing me that full metal panic 5 is coming.
@@JChuleta all of the animes I listed above, they waited for at least 5 years for a new season, heck FMP Invisible Victory took 13 yrs to come. So far, it’s been 4 yrs since FMP IV ended, so let’s hope that FMP will return very soon
I'm sure they will. When it will happen I do not know. I read all of the novels so I already know what happens. It will be cool to see it animated. I do recommend though reading the novels. It's really good.
@@durgasishmishra744 There are but they did cut out some which I am not sure why. It gave a lot of detail and it was funny! I wont go into too much detail but I honestly enjoyed it. Their class goes on a cruise and it's honestly a good part of the story. *!spoiler for ending of the novels!* yes they do have a happy ending :)
It should happen damnit 🤬 if you think that the series is going at season 4 your wrong 😑 we all want to know how it really really ENDS their will be a final season without question so ask yourself this should the series of full metal panic end like this no of course not because ending it like this is not real and not the only one who has the same opinion in the world 🌎?!😠😡😡😠😤😤😤
I bought the first dvd for this anime in like 2002-2003 when ADV films still existed - I hope it gets a proper anime finish in 2023 - also your reasons are super off like bruh get your info together
There's always hope!... just look at "the devil is a part-timer" I gave up hope on that long ago but we all now know there is a second season coming at the end of the year we can only hope there will be a second season for blood lad now there's always hope just think we might get the 3 seasons in 20 years time lol should be right took 20 years for season 2 lol

@@raihanwinata5329 yeah. I almost lost hope for new season

We all are waiting friend
We waited over a decade for IV after TSR, we can wait another decade
Still waiting
The fact that they ended season 4 like that and we're unsure if s5 is coming makes me really frikken mad.
But why this huge delay? I mean… From Second Raid to Invisivle Victory it’s 13 years. What’s the point in waiting that long?
I will wait till the end of time for the fifth season
