Do you love it? Hate it? Give some specifics to why you feel that way. This thread can also contain info about the second season "Fumoffu".

I thought it was a neat mix of action and comedy. I finished purchasing season 1 a month or so ago, and I am waiting for Fumoffu to come to DVD.

While we are at it, who is your favorite FMP! character and why?

 

[SAint Mark]

FMP is great! A series I can recommned even though the ending (supprise supprise) could have been better. The second season is pretty much just comedy so you don't need a proper ending.

Favourite character... either Chidori (reminds me of Naru... cute and voilent he heh) or Sousuke because he just doesn't have a clue

 

[Lucent]

Yeah, the ending didn't do all that much for me either. And that part close to the end where Sousuke talks to Tessa in front of the vending machine (the part where you don't get to hear what he says to her), I really want to know what the heck he said to her to make her start crying.

Honestly, my favorite used to be Tessa, but after watching Fumoffu, I think I might like Kaname more. I don't know.

i like it overall, but the anime has left out too much on the potential of the AS fights. They could have developed much more on it..

the anime ended on a quite pang rather than a loud one.. um, nothing wrong with that i suppose.

as for Fumoffu.. i didn't watch all the episodes. Fumoffu is just plain silly, it'd have been better if they continued making FMP with just the right amount of humor as shown in FMP.

But I like Fumoffo because it's plain silly . Good comedy. Wasn't really expecting it though...

 

[ThePhoenix]

Fumoffu wrecked the show IMHO. It killed any signs of character development, removed the AS fights, and forced the show to rely on its comedy elements, which were never strong enough to support it in the first place.

 

[Lucent]

Personally, I enjoyed Fumoffu. On the other hand, I am glad that it was not a long series. I'm glad they stopped while they were ahead (what I thought was ahead anyway.)

Then again, I like that silly kind of humor. It's certainly not a show for everybody.

couldn't have said it better, Phoenix!

The first season was good. The second season is hilarious. The main charcter does need to get a grip on life though. Don't think he's been in the sun all that much.
