The anime's first season received a three-film director's cut version, and the third film premiered on January 20.
The story of Full Metal Panic! centers around a mercenary group called Mithril on a parallel Earth in which the Cold War did not end in 1991. Sōsuke Sagara, a seventeen year old military specialist working for Mithril, has been assigned to go undercover to protect high school student Kaname Chidori.
Gatoh launched the original Full Metal Panic! light novel series with Shikidouji's illustrations in 1998, and Fujimi Shobo published the series' 12th and final novel in the main series in 2010. The novels have more than 11 million copies in print. Tokyopop published the first five volumes before the company shut down its North American branch in 2011.
