| | AAW: Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu Review |
 | | Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu may lack the drama and edge of the original series, but as a straight comedy it is far more successful at tapping the premise and collection of lively and likable characters. |
 | | Visually, Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu doesn't have quite the polish and flair of the original series, but the character art and animation are almost as good (meaning very good), and the somewhat lower (but still high) budget is spent where it counts, leaving no noticeable weak points in the fast-paced animation. |
 | | Fumoffu does do very well with small tie-ins, however; once introduced, even minor characters often reappear, and there are enough brief references to past events to give the feeling that it's all tied together, even though it's almost entirely episodic in construction. |
