I couldn't wait that long. I snapped up the first English DVD when I saw it on ebay for $19 and loved it so much I bought the entire series on a two disk set with subtitles. It's definitely worth watching. I'll probablly watch the whole thing at least once more, and then again when the whole series is finally released in English.

Continuing On My Own was a lot more violent than ADVMC....
have COMO and Burning One Man Force be made into a 26 episode series...

No kidding, COMO was probably the most violent FMP so far, so many casualties, sooo many, and such as huge step forward in the story.... there's no way things will go back to the way they were before.

FMP:COMO ABOUT HAYASHIMIZU ATSUNOBU

Spoiler :

Although it seems like COMO is the last novel involving the school, I hope it's not the last time we'll see Hayashimizu, since he's not in the school anymore. The scenes with him were pretty cool in this volume don't ya think?

I've read a summary of BOMF, I don't think the school will be pretty much a part of the story anymore. The story completely moves outside of Japan.

Actually BOMF leaves off at a cliffhanger too, it would have to pull the book after BOMF, Tsudou Make My Day (aka Get Together Make My Day), along with the story. So the 26 episode thing would be somewhat like the first TV season of FMP again.

Well Sousake did ask the other students to greet Kaname as a friend again when this was all over...I'm hoping they do go back to school together.

Spoiler :

Well, the next book, BOMF, I believe takes place over several months and then some, and Sousuke still has not found Kaname at the end of the book. So even if he finds Kaname at the end of GTMMD, she would be at least 6 months (most-likely more) behind a credential school. Most-likely if Kaname ends up going back to Jindai, it'll pretty much be when all her classmates are about to graduate from their senior year.

BTW Ivvan, if you want to read the summary for BOMF, PM me and I send you the link.

Whoa, I just found out the FMP novels just got officially licensed by TokyoPop.

That sucks. I don't like TokyoPop doing the translations... I'd have preferred Viz or Del Rey. Hopefully they'll at least spit out the novels fairly fast.

[Ivvan Cain]

Hmm that's kinda cool...

Wait...there's a translation of Kino no Tabi?! Shit....must go find it.

Tokyopop finally posts some info about their first FMP book, based on the first arc of the series....

Barnes & Noble has September 18 as the publishing date. So long of a wait. =(

*brings to life*

Shoji Gatoh is now writing the final volume of the series, apparently to be released in spring. Looking forward to it

[Jasta85]

writing the final volume = another 6 months to a year before the anime comes out. should probably start a new thread when it does.
