New FULL METAL PANIC! Anime Series Coming Fall 2017

At the Fantasia Bunko Daikanshasai celebration on Saturday, it was confirmed that the new Full Metal Panic! anime series will air Fall 2017. However, Kyoto Animation will not be returning to handle production duties.

A new Full Metal Panic! anime series will be debuting during the Fall 2017 anime season.  Xebec will be handling animation duties, replacing Kyoto Animation who previously produced the previous 3 series.

The new series will be titled Full Metal Panic! IV which acknowledges the previous three season:

  • Full Metal Panic 2002 - 24 episodes
  • Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu  2003 - 12 episodes
  • Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid 2006 - 13 episodes


Anime and manga fans are a bit surprised by the title as it acknowledges Fumofffu, which is a much more comedic take on the  series of light novels written by Shoji Gatoh and illustrated by Shiki Douji.  Most fans consider Fumofffu to be non-canon.  

Ten years later, are you excited for more FMP!?
