| Full Metal Panic Vol 1 : 3 of 5 | |

 Full Metal Panic is an anime that I've read about hundreds of times. Most anime fans really love it (so much that it's sparked a sequel series), and now that I've checked out the beginning of the series, I can see why! It's a great combination of action and romance (of the high school variety, of course), and jumps from serious to hilarious in the blink of an eye. Sousuke Sagara is a young anti-terrorist military guy who is assigned (along with two other team members) to protect Kaname Chidori from possible kidnapping. She's a beautiful high school student, so Sousuke goes undercover as a transfer student. The problem is all he knows is military life, so he sees nothing wrong with walking into class with a machine gun or something. Most of the scenes have to do with Sousuke mistaking an everyday occurrence as an attack on Kaname, with really funny results. Predictably, Kaname starts to kind of like Sousuke, even though he's a military otaku in her eyes. The production values are really great - excellent animation, wonderful character design, and great Japanese voice acting - you can just tell when anime creators are really trying to create something special. This first volume ends in a big cliffhanger, with Kaname's entire class on a hijacked plane! I'll definitely be renting this entire series!
