Not all of the original Full Metal Panic novels have been adapted into animation, but the &#8220;Second Raid&#8221; television series did end with a feeling of finality. There has been no confirmation that there won&#8217;t be any new Full Metal Panic anime (such confirmations rarely happen), but I do have the distinct feeling that the Full Metal Panic anime franchise has run its course. Furthermore, when the announcement of the &#8220;Second Raid&#8221; anime production was first announced in Japan, the announcement was accompanied by the caveat that it could possibly be developed as a theatrical film. It wasn&#8217;t. In essence, I personally think that if there was ever going to be a theatrical Full Metal Panic motion picture, it would have already happened by now.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not claiming to predict the future, but right now there are no known plans for more Full Metal Panic anime in Japan, and I don&#8217;t expect to see a fourth Full Metal Panic anime installment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: What do you think is the likelihood of a Full Metal Panic theatrical release?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1546","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ask-john"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.animenation.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1546","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.animenation.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.animenation.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.animenation.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.animenation.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1546"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.animenation.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1546\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.animenation.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1546"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.animenation.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1546"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.animenation.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
