FullMetal*Panic!

I enjoy this sort of inexact debate over fictional characters precisely because you are attempting to construct, as it seems, a very exact 3 dimensional replica of something of which you only have two blurry, poorly angled, washed out pictures of... I don't think that what I said was a contradiction...

Taurec: They did a great job with Gauron; his introductory scenes worried me a little (slightly cliche), but after that he is extremely enjoyable. His unabashed arrogance and blatant nastiness make him honest in many ways; usually these days enemies are portrayed in the slimy, tricky sort of way. I ...

I'm going to continue my attention getting madness with a quick perusal of something that many may disregard as a common issue in any anime, and any drama for that matter; in any case I think it's interesting to note the psychological ruins many characters end in, and what could have been predicted ...

Jae: True I looked over the site and forum some, mostly for info regarding novel/manga content. I did miss some topics I later found slightly similar to the one I started here (further animated material), but I think mine has a different slant. It's not really my opinion that there shouldn't be more...

Re Neko; There's lots of things. For instance the reliance upon the fumoffu suit (boy did that get tiresome), and also the reduction of the martial arts club's personality--the three became drones (they were initially slightly more, just slightly), and the main guy became nothing but a testosterone-...

Thanks for the welcome, Taurec. I rewatched the first episode and the resemblance is uncanny--hair, dress, and figure are an exact match. So much for my babble.

Menoecus says hi. You're not still upset about the drama surrounding Antigone, I hope--I've heard you've got good weaponry.

Jae, thanks by the way for the very informative site. In any case, true I omitted discussion of practical issues surrounding further developments; I touched on them some in my second post in this thread. I avoided things that like that since after some common sense speculation there's not much I can...

Actually I got worried about her involvement when I believe at the very beginning of 'the mission' (protecting chidori), they were discussing pseudonyms, and Sousuke's response to using his own name was that no on in that area knows it; I thought maybe she would prove to be some link, as he gave her...

Thanks for the welcome; I'm definitely indebted to this place for all the information from the mangas, novels, and other sources I couldn't have accessed (at least in my current condition of Japanese illiteracy...). True that I didn't at all mention any of the most important budget/popularity issues...

Greetings This is my initial post so I'd like to thank everyone involved in both the forum and the affiliated websites for providing such great repositories of info and of course community, humor, etc. I just devoured both series, and like most people the obvious question is potential further materi...
