Hey guys, I'm struggling to find info I'm looking for reguarding Full Metal Panic over the net. So I figured I'd make an account and ask on these forums.

Before reading the questions, know that I've obviously only watched the anime.

Question 1: How exactly do the full length novels differ from the light novels?

Question 2: Will the light novels ever be translated to english?

Question 3: Are the novels worth reading? and should I read the full length or light novels?


I'm asking these questions because it seems that hope for Season 4 FMP is fading... though I still have hope!

novels stay pretty true to the anime, its just the novels and anime have alot of comedy stories that arent really cannon, but the anime has that too with fumofu

the last time i checked the last novel was already translated

they are worth a read but with the anime's final season due sometime in fall you might as well wait

Thanks for your response :)

I looked at the list of the novels on Wikipedia -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Full_Metal_Panic!_light_novels

and it seems that the light novels havn't even been translated yet?

I really have no idea, lol.

EDIT: Seems I was confused with short story and light novel. NEVERMIND! :)

i remember there being a group that translated the light novels back a year that were slow as hell at it, even at there pace ide immagine they translated it especially since the novel ended about a year ago,

you might as well jsut start watching the animes now, even though the second raid isnt the ending its got a satisfying conclusion
