Anime Ltd acquires Full Metal Panic! Invisible Victory
Simulcasting in Spring 2018 to UK & Ireland at Crunchyroll
If you look through the catalogue of titles we have brought to the UK you'll notice a varied mixture. Over the past few years we've been delving into the archives of franchises that have been out-of-print and made them available again for long time fans, but also made them available for the first time to newer fans. Giving them the chance to experience these classic titles and understand we fell in love with them many moons ago. One of these classic franchises is Full Metal Panic.
Full Metal Panic is a wonderful blend of action, adventure, drama, comedy and mecha SF action that's set in a time all rolled into one and being able to release the first three seasons (Full Metal Panic, Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu? and Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid) is something we're very happy about. But to say we have been craving more for a long time - I'm talking about since The Second Raid concluded it's broadcast in Japan - is an understatement.
But the time has nearly arrived for the wait to be over and we (Anime Ltd.) are delighted to announce we have acquired the rights to the upcoming fourth season of the franchise, Full Metal Panic! Invisible Victory.
ABOUT FULL METAL PANIC! INVISIBLE VICTORY
Synopsis: "Full Metal Panic returns with a brand-new, action-packed series, continuing from the events of The Second Raid.
Invisible Victory finds Sagara Sousuke and his colleagues at "Mithril" under fierce attack at their bases around the globe from a rival organisation known as "Amalgam". While Sousuke and Kaname face new tests thanks to a dangerous threat on their home turf in Japan, Merida Island and Mithril's flagship submarine, the Tuatha de Danaan, both come under fierce and concerted attack themselves.
The series is written by original Full Metal Panic author Shouji Gatou, with production handled by animation studio Xebec. The series is directed by Katsuichi Nakayama (Planetarian, assistant director Evangelion 2.0 and 3.0), while the series' character designer Osamu Horiuchi returns to his role for the new series."
