Teletha Testarossa (Maid Ver.) 1/7 Scale by Phat Company, from Full Metal Panic! Invisible Victory

In Invisible Victory ep 2, when sousuke is trying to escape in the car with chidori. She asks if he wants her to shoot while he drives and he responds "don't touch that gun" and "you just can't" what does he mean by this ?

In the novels we get his thoughts clearly spelled out! He doesn't want her to have a kill count. She had just been horrified by his the night before. She's been through a lot, but she's still a civilian. She should retain innocence. He fears that if she kills, she won't be able to smile.

He was hired to protect her body, and hopefully mind. He wants to protect her smile.

DAMN NAMI, I’M SORRY, YOU WEREN’T EVEN CLOSE. This is at the point in the novel where he’s forgetting what Kaname’s face looks like AND YET…

Then again, he literally set off from Jindai thinking Mithril was entirely destroyed and intended on rescuing Kaname from the organization that decimated them ON HIS OWN. He was just gonna. Do that. I don’t think saving the world is every anything more than a bonus on this kid’s journey, he just really, REALLY wanted to take Kaname back home and absolutely nothing on the planet was going to stop him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Now that’s romance!

Manifesting for a new Full Metal Panic season

Why does Kurama look like Ringo Starr cosplaying as Neo at Comic Con?!

Full Metal Panic! Invisible Victory

I finally caught up on Full Metal Panic! Invisible Victory... and they had better be adapting the last three volumes of the light novels as the last season (it may go into more than one season, but I feel like one season could probably cover it all). Because they cannot just end the anime on that cliffhanger!

I know I should be glad we got more Full Metal Panic! anime at all (and I truly am, don't get me wrong), after eighteen years, but to end it on such a cliffhanger of Kaname still being kidnapped and her and Sousuke still separated? Come on! One more season! One more season! One more season!

I'm really curious, which anime is ultimate-autism Sousuke Sagara from? I love obscure anime so I'd love to hear more about it

OH HELL YEAH

(obscure anime...that might be true but *weeps*)

He's from Full Metal Panic! It's an action-mecha anime from 2002. Basically, Sousuke's an ex-child soldier turned teenage special ops working for an anti-terrorist organization, and in his next mission he has to infiltrate a Japanese high school disguised as a student so that he can covertly bodyguard another student (Kaname) who's being targeted by the KGB for having some kind of latent mind power. Except, he has no IDEA how to act like a "normal" teen.

It got a sequel series called The Second Raid in 2005 and then another continuation, Invisible Victory, in 2017. There's also a slice-of-life comedy side series, Fumoffu, which completely disregards the "giant military robots" aspect to focus on Sousuke and Kaname's everyday high school shenanigans. I adore Fumoffu.

And sure, you can say that a lot of his mannerisms come from the whole "raised as a child soldier" thing, which, fair, it does explain why he assumes a love letter left in his shoe locker is a bomb, or that a briefcase someone forgot in a cafe is a bomb, or that his first instinct to hearing screaming is to immediately grab Kaname and dive to the floor while pointing his gun at the door. But also like, he's extremely stiff and serious and has notorious resting bitch face and doesn't understand jokes or when someone is joking at all. He's incredibly literal, in one episode of Fumoffu he was selected to be the art class model and the art teacher told him that a model must become "one with nature" and he ran off to hide in the forest. Then there's another episode where he has to "pick up girls" for some sociology experiment and he interprets that as literally kidnapping them (dw, they're fine, more pissed off than anything). When Kaname explains (yells) what flirting is his immediate response is "...well, there's probably some girl with an uncommon interest in military affairs..." and his "improved" flirting tactic is to jump in front of strangers and say "hi! would you like to know the names of defense agency spies?" He reads military tech magazines for fun and is able to rattle off specs for a model Russian tank. He got distracted during a minor mission because he found somebody that was also interested in the giant robots and got in a full-on conversation with them and completely forgot about what he was doing. It's impossible to read this boy as allistic.

Full Metal Panic! (* long post)

Kudan Mira

is the Whispered girl saved by Sagara Sousuke (and other Mithril soldiers)

in the first episode.

In S4 Invisible Victory episode 1, she appeared again when Sousuke remembered his past...

...and in episode 9, she actually appeared :D

as the great supporter of Mithril and Sousuke, by recovering Al (Sousuke’s Arbalest A.I.) and helping develop Laevatein etc :3

Wish the anime made this (she’s the very girl) clear more haha
