We have heard very little of ‘anime related’ guest announcements for this year May MCM London Comic Con event but today Anime Limited, otherwise known as All The Anime, have announced that Shouji Gatou, the author of the original Full Metal Panic! light novel series, will be attending the event on both Saturday 26th May 2018 and Sunday 27th May 2018.
