Anime Limited Reveals Full Metal Panic: Ultimate Edition Artwork and Contents

After an extremely long wait Anime Limited have finally lifted the lid on what to expect from the upcoming ‘Ultimate Edition’ release of Full Metal Panic and so far first impressions are good.

For those unaware the Ultimate Edition version of Full Metal Panic will contain all three seasons of the series, so thats Full Metal Panic, Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid and Full Metal Panic: FUMOFFU, inside a single collection – all of which will be presented in 1080p and have English and Japanese audio options. The Collection will also contain a 7c-page book featuring all sorts of artwork and useful information about the series.

The most interesting aspect of this Ultimate Edition is that each season will come in its own amary cases and then these amary cases will slot into the box which holds everything in. Full details, and tentative images, of what this will look like have yet to be revealed; but it does sound quite interesting.

So what exactly will each season have? Well Anime Limited have also provided some clarification on this as well:

Season 1:

• Complete Season, episodes 1-24
• Extras: Jakoichi Chigara x Shouji Gatou Special Interview, Japanese Piracy Warnings, Original TV Spots, Textless Songs

Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu (aka Season 2):

• Complete Season, episodes 1-12
• Original Japanese TV Spots, Textless Songs

Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid (aka Season 3):

• Complete season, episodes 1-13
• Extras: Bonus Episode 000, Bonus OVA episode, Dawn of the Light Novel, Location Scouting in Hong Kong (Parts 1 – 7), Textless Songs

Full Metal Panic: Ultimate Edition is scheduled to be released later this year and it is currently available to pre-order from Amazon UK, Zavvi, Base and Anime Limited’s online shop.
