Review: Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu #4

[Paul]

I’ve always considered the comedy side of FMP! to be little more than filler so it was a pleasant surprise to discover that this ‘filler’ is entertaining enough in its own right. With the conflict and conspiracy storylines disregarded entirely, the writers were able to play around with the characters and place them in situations too outrageous to fit into the FMP! universe otherwise. It also turned out to be the perfect length too: had there been any more episodes than this, the gags would have been over-used and predictable. As it is, FUMOFFU was an absolute blast that didn’t outstay its welcome; it doesn’t deliver the character development that FMP fans were craving but succeeds in being very funny indeed.

I reckon it was I good idea to seperate the comedy in fumoffu from the main series since in the manga the switch between comedy and serious drama often seemed a bit extreme, giving the manga a bit of a disjointed feel. Still good tho.

I thought it was good and hilarious at times, but not particularly brilliant. I'd rate it a 3/5, it ends really really well though.

It's far far better than the nonsense that was the first series, which I thought was awful.

I loved this series. So much fun, especially with Bonta-kun, which had me in stitches most of the time .
