That is happy news. The final act(s) of FMP are damn spectacular, and turns the entire setting as you (a non-specific, non-reader of the light novels/manga "you") know it on its head.
At least that’s from what I remember.
Is someone going to edit the civilians page? Gotta put some peeps there.
"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"J-Novel Club mentioned on Twitter that the FMP! series will be a rerelease with a new translation.
All 12 original novels that is.
"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"Saw that in a news article today. It'll be nice to finally have a full, officially-translated collection of the novels. No offense to my friend that painstakingly translated all the novels some years ago.
I do want to see the side story novels also. I remember of a novel that explores Kurz's life in pre-Mithril Tokyo and his days in high school.

"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"J-Novel's releasing the compiled novels of FMP with a better translation.
"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"J-Novel announced that they're doing the Short Stories.
"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"The Short Stories are released. Man, I need to catch up on the novels. I'm halfway done.
"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"I should probably read those. I read the main series a while back and while there are some cool moments post the parts that got anime adaptations, I felt like it lost something when it moved away from comedy.
I remember that there were some SS scenarios that weren't adopted. I think one has Kurz's entire backstory of living/studying in Japan.
"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"FMP novel is centered on Sousuke and Kaname, set two decades after Amalgam's defeated.
"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"While it's cool we'll get a sequel and Sosuke and Kaname, when are we getting an English version of FMP Another?
I don't know. No one's interested to do it (official/unofficial).
I've seen FMP!A (IIRC) in HK/Macau in Chinese. Maybe Taiwan too.
Yen Press announced that they're working on an audiobook version of FMP!
If this goes forth, I'm sad that I can't hear Kalinin's original VA speak.

More details on the sequel. First "official" illustration on Sousuke/Kaname's teenage kids.

"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"Peter Parker won't be the only one with a new family next month!
Meet the Sagaras! (Or would Souske be the type to adopt Kaname's last name, so it'd be meet the Chidoris?)
In any case, here's a new visual for Full Metal Panic! Family!

Can't wait to see more info on it.
"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"
I doubt that it'll be delayed that far. AFAIK, the production crew's working to get it out by Fall at least.
