Hey guys. Not sure how many of you saw my old thread about the rumored FMP 3rd season, but I thought I'd follow up on it.
From what I've read, it's been officially announced in Dragon Magazine. Full Metal Panic ~The Second Raid~ will be produced by Kyoto Animation, directed by Yasuhiro Takemoto (guy who did FMP Fumoffu) and the September New Type Japan says it'll be based on the Owaru Day by Day novels... which cover serious storyline and were recently translated by the manga group Boku-tachi. FMP Author Gatoh Shoji also says he'll be very involved in this project and will help make some original anime content. Anyone that can read Japanese (I can't) can probably find more info at www.fullmeta.com.
I haven't been this excited about any anime announcement for a long time, since FMP is one of my favorite animes ever, Sousuke is my #1 favorite anime character, and the Owaru Day by DAy novels were really good. Plus with the same director as Fumoffu, we can expect the filler episodes to be good ^_^.
