OMG I just found out that the Full Metal Panic that I've known and loved for years is actually the middle of three seasons of a show that is tonally different from what I'm used to. The first and real second season of Full Metal Panic are supposedly some kind of sci fi comedy, whereas the middle series (my series), Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu, is a high school rom com that merely references the action of the first season in the very vaguest of terms.
I don't know what to do with this. I've watched Fumoffu so many times that watching a more relatively serious show that might not be so outlandishly silly would just be jarring. I guess that's why Fumoffu is so brilliant. I didn't even know that there was another season that was totally different, and yet the elements from that season that were included could be viewed as completely ridiculous, yet had no need to be explained, because the lack of an explanation actually made them funnier. I assume.
Well, back to the anime streaming sites.
