Full Metal Anxiety! didn’t become one of the best selling anime titles in North America honest because it was a big action demonstrate. The series’ huge cast of characters and its blend of romantic comedy with serious action and drama helped to invent it one of the most satisfying anime in quite some time.

The series itself has a very simple state. Secret anti-terrorist organization MITHRIL has been given a mission to protect young Japanese student Kaname Chidori, a current 16 year musty high school student who is also a “whispered”- a person who subconsciously taps infinite amounts of knowledge while in a trance like area. MITHRIL believes Kaname may be the target of a kidnapping by a rogue terrorist organization and thus sends agents out to protect her.
Sosuke Sagura, military minded weapons fanatic is selected for the mission along with his co-workers Kurz and Melissa. Sosuke is enrolled in high school to glance out for Kaname which sets up the comedic aspects of the demonstrate.

Sosuke is an incredible field agent, noble of any mission, no matter how unsafe. Yet, he has a hard time relating to everyday people in a “normal” fashion. He is also paranoid of the most celebrated things which causes him to overreact most of the time. Kaname outwardly acts annoyed by Sosuke’s antics of blowing up the school stairways and crashing the girls locker room but deep down she has a uncommon affinity for him. She has no knowledge of his dependable reason for being at high school nor of her abilities so she (as well as the rest of the school) catch him as the unusual and eccentric transfer student.
Through the series 24 episodes we follow Sosuke and his cohorts at MITHRIL as they rescue kaname and her classmates, fight dreadful guys and overcome the challenge of organizing a high school festival. The characters are very well developed with their absorb quirks and shortcomings and the stories never bag bogged down in too great drama or salvage ridiculously wearisome. The writers balanced episodes fairly well with some episodes focusing on action and drama while others developed characters and were more comedic.
This Chunky Metal Apprehension! state collects the entire 7 disc series into a clean spot saving thinpak collection complete with collecors box. The modern series booklets and reversible covers are not included in the package, with buyers only getting the dvd sleeves featuring the arm slave mechas on the covers. ADV did a nice job on the box with a slightly raised mechanical observe and a cast shot on the box spine. For those that missed FMP! the first time, this is a colossal addition to any anime collection and one that really merits watching multiple viewings.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
To open with, for someone who is not familiar with these series the amount to pay in order to regain this point to may be considered a diminutive bit high compared to some other shows out there. Therefore, a potential request could be, is it worth the money for buying it? My personal acknowledge is: Yes, it is worth every penny. Below I shall elaborate why:
To originate with, this is a brief narrative outline so that to secure an overview picture:
The account starts off in our time continuum, in which a secret special military organization, called MITHRIL, uses the last spot of the art technology in order to protect humanity from various kinds of terrorist acts and so forth. In its weaponry, amongst others, it has a tidy sub-marine, AI computers, Mechas etc.
Also, there are young people out there, especially (high school) girls that are able to connect mentally to an unknown source of knowledge. These people are called `whisperers’ which are obsolete not only by the `good-guys’ but by the `bad-guys’ as well. Obviously, the one who can control this kind of knowledge will dominate over others
Now to the main plot: A Japanese high school girl named Kaname Chidori, is a `whispered’ person and because MITHRIL fears the fact that she will be kidnapped by terrorists who wish for her powers, assigns three of its best soldiers in order to protect her. Therefore, besides Kaname, the other main protagonist, Sosuke Sagura, goes undercover to her high school as another student. To his succor advance Melissa Mao, a stunning, nice but also short tempered and bad/kick a** woman, and of course his partner Kurz Weber the sniper, something like a surfer boy, who loves to slouch late (every) women.
So some may ask, what is so special about it anyway?
I shall open with the sage in a bullet-like-style so not to tire you:
- The jam is that what Sosuke did all his life was fighting battles and when he goes to high school he carries with him guns, explosives etc. and basically blowing the school apart, the so called Jindai High. He has basically no knowledge of what an ordinary life is and how to behave, especially when he will be caught up in the esteem triangle (watch the third bullet point)
- The tale is not only focusing on the high school life but will carry us all around the globe and the viewer will be introduced to all sorts of fights and battles (especially with Mechas)
- It involves a esteem triangle between: Sosuke, Kaname and Tessa, who is the captain of METHRIL (she is basically the same age as Kaname, 16 years outmoded, but a `whisperer’ as well) which will result to a series of comic situations… Romance on its diagram…
- It has a main villain, among other terrorists, who is as icy as ice
- The viewer will be introduced to many other characters which are very well developed as well
- Even if to some of you the storyline may seem, more or less, stereotypical (well-behaved guys vs. unpleasant guys, young teenagers and Mechas, action with comedy etc.) however, for some reason this series manage to give a unusual amble to these kind of shows and succeed in what they are doing
Apart from all it:
- The animation is very good
- Has a solid storyline and very sterling character development
- The shows are a mix of: Science fiction/action/Mechas/(slap stick) comedy/romance/drama
- It manages to support the balance between slapstick comedy ( like how Kaname tries to relate Sosuke how to behave in ordinary life, obviously he will completely `misinterpret’ her lessons, what savor is etc.) and hard core action (which is very well done, even how the Mechas will spread out in the battle field, is very professional done like in good battle situations) . Not to mention the fact, that people you will like in the series will also die
- The viewer will never fetch tired of the show
- The expose is about 600 min long (7 DVDs)
- Has very ample opening and ending songs
- Has its section of fan service
- Even if you bewitch the English dub, it is very well executed and you will indulge in it
- The DVDs have a few extras, like trailers, opening/ending with no credits etc.
- But most of all, no matter what kind of anime fan you are, you will definitely salvage something for you in these shows
Furthermore, there are two more continuations of Pudgy Metal Terror out there (as another reviewer correctly stated it) which are: FMP fumoffu and FMP overload
Either plan, I hope I could befriend in some plot so that anyone who stumbles upon these shows will be able to catch an `overview picture’ of the FMP series…
All these been said, if you resolve to bewitch it (something you will not regret), than there is only one thing left to say: Bask In them…
