This special OVA episode is all about Tessa, baby!!! 8-)

It's more of an original "fumoffu" episode which I don't believe was in the novels. Basically Tessa somehow got drunk thanks to Mao and was figuring out where the heck her Bonta-kun doll went. This is a great opportunity to see how the side-characters' lives live normally (Clouzot's "normal" life was hilarious especially when Kurz got involved). Heck, a lot of the moments were funny as hell, and they were once again strongly supported by KyoAni's godlike animation. 8-)

Oh yeah, there was quite of bit of Tessa fanservice moments as well for anyone who wants to gauk at her. :D

Woot! Looks like it's time to start looking for more. How many episodes in the ova?

I'm actually not certain.

Now one of the biggest WTF moments ever!!!

This appears to be a new relationship for FUNimation and should strengthen their overall library as they explore more titles in Kadokawa's very solid catalog.


:shock: :shock:

It's official; ADV is losing their grip. But I bet FUNi will be able to reassemble the original English VAs for the main characters since most of the them worked with them.

Whoa... that IS a big WTF moment right there. Yeah, I hope they can get the ADV cast to work on it too.... it just wouldn't be worth it if Sousuke and Kaname both sound completely different than the original dub.

Plus it's definitely one of the few animes where the dub was better than the sub in the original FMP, at least in my opinion.

I think it may be a one-shot deal, actually.

Come on, future boy conan, which looks suspiciously like Ghibli? Priceless!

Yeah I agree, I'm pretty sure the OVA is only going to be 1 episode.

Hehe, I also did think their version Future Boy Conan reminded me of a Miyazaki film.

Very cute and funny episode. The entire episode is basically about Tessa trying to find her missing Bonta-kun.

I've been reading in other forums that since Funi already gets a lot of people from ADV to work on their titles it shouldn't be too much of a problem to get most of the people back. So far people's biggest concerns were for Tessa and Mao since they aren't known to do any work for Funi.

I hope it ends up like Street Fighter.

Full Metal Panic
Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu edition
Full Metal Panic: the 2nd Raid
Full Metal Panic: 3rd Strike
Full Metal Panic: Sagara gets Married series
etc. etc.

That'd be fun! :lol:

I finally saw the OVA. It was definitely Fumoffu quality. After all that drama in TSR it needed it. What did Tessa have? 1 beer? She don't have any tolerance but then again...she's friggin underage and living on a sub. :roll:

She may be underage, but her body don't show it... :shock:

At least, from her wearing of the undies...

Her accidental seduction of Sagara as well as AL's commentary had me rofling for hours...

I don't like Tessa at all. >| Find her annoying.

lol, that's why I didn't watch the OVA. I'm waiting for KyoAni to animate Tsuzuku on my own and Moeru One man something. :P
