FMP?Fumoffu! isnt a sequel to FMP!, more like a spin-off or a side-story. TSR (The Second Raid) however is a direct sequel to FMP!. Only 2 episodes of TSR aired on Japanese TV so far.

Fummofu is a sequal in that it comes after the first season. When the characters are actualy doing most of the stuff, well, thats isn't known.

Second raid is a sequal though. Its not translated into english yet. Hopefully soon though.

If you want more besides the anime already mentioned, then check out the Full Metal Panic manga, which is a combination of the series you watched and the second Fumoffu series. Also, there is the Full Metal Panic Overload manga series which strictly focuses on the comedy aspects of the show.

Well, technically FMP? Fumoffu is a sequel to the entire Full Metal Panic Stories, but since FMP the anime series is based on the different stories that was in the Novels and Mangas, there is a whole lot of stuff in regards to any part as being a "sequel" to which and what by the definition of the word "sequel". While FMP? Fumoffu is a "sequel" to the first FMP anime series, it is also a "side story arc" since most of the events in the first series was resolved and most of the events in Fumoffu have no bearing to events in the first series or Sousuke's missions with MITHRIL. Think of it this way, all three FMP series and the episodes with in have different focal stories and plots which don't necessary have to relate to each other. Still, all three series so far still have the same great main characters that we all got to know from the anime series and the Novels and Manga.


As to the answer to questions originally posted by aloron:

Welcome to the forums section of ANN.com. For information on Anime and Manga, you might want to try the "Encyclopedia" section of this web site (or just click on the link in the word "Encyclopedia").

And YES, there is more Full Metal Panic! beyond the first anime series. They have so far made 3 anime series of Full Metal Panic!, and 6 Graphic Novels, and countless manga stories that's serialized in Newtype Magazine (both in Japanese and North American Versions).

Brief Info about the 3 Full Metal Panic! Anime Series:

Full Metal Panic! - The First anime series with 24 episode total, and all episodes available now on DVDs.

Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu - Second anime series with 17 episodes total, and episode 1 to 6 or 7 (?) is available in the first two volumes of the DVDs that just came out here in North America with the rest of the series scheduled for release on DVDs later this year.

Full Metal Panic! T.S.R. (The Second Raid) - Third anime series of the FMP Anime Franchise just premiered a week ago on Japanese TV and is currently airing in Japan. Expected date for the series to hit North American shores, unknown at this time, but you all sure can bet that ADV will announce the licensing of the series as soon as the beginning of next year.

Hope this post is at least helpful.
