Just bought it (I'm still only most of the way through Volume 1 but it was a very good first Volume so have bought the other four on the strength of that, didn't know Volume 5 was out today, apparently a new Full Metal Panic Volume 4 audiobook is out as well so I bought that too) :)

Honestly I am so so looking forward to hearing your opinions on the series. If vol 1 was enjoyable to you, just know that is actually widely regarded as the weakest volume in the series. Vol 2 and 5 (oh my god vol 5) are considered the high points by many. Vol 1 is mostly setup for vol 2.

I will happily share them... in about 10 years time when I finally get around to listening to the remaining 4 and a bit (that's a self deprecating joke about how bad I am at actually getting around to listening to my audiobooks) XP I sincerely appreciate your interest in my opinions on such things though! :)

I enjoyed the first volume and @Dai who's read more was excited to see it get an adaptation.

One of my favourite yuri manga. The first three volumes could make for a very good romance story, since they're a pretty self-contained arc. It starts to veer more into high school band drama with a larger cast after that, which is still good, but takes a lot of focus away from the central relationship. A story like this has been begging for an anime adaptation since day one, since music is such an important part of it. Of course that means the anime has the added challenge of needing to handle the music well in order for the story to work.
 
The Whisper Me a Love Song anime seems to be coming along nicely. The only thing that's thrown me so far is how fast it's motoring along. They've completed volume 1 of the manga in two episodes. I went back and checked the manga, but nothing has been left out; this part of the story does move quickly.

Aside from that, they're doing a good job with the mix of romance and humour, the VAs all seem appropriate to the characters, and it's continuing the tradition of GL anime having beautiful music scores.

After watching first two seasons of Strike Witches, it makes me think whether Lynette and Yoshika have feelings for each other? In one episode, Yoshika was dreaming about her and it sounded like a passionate one.

Saw the kiss in episode 4 of Gekidol last night and found that there was no build-up to it; the girl who initiated it, there was never hint of interest in the receiver.
