About Full Metal Panic
Sousuke Sagara is a Mithril soldier assigned to guard Kaname Chidori while posing as a high school student.
The main plot runs through seasons one, three and four, while Fumoffu collects the comedy side stories between them.
Good to know
The three director's cut films released from November 25, 2017 to January 20, 2018 only recap season one, so they are skippable. No new anime has been announced, though the Family light novels began in January 2024.
