Trivia

In First Season Episode 5, Whispered, Sousuke struggles to get his mech moving but once he barely dodges the line of fire you’ll notice that the damaged mech behind his does not fall as if a human would had they been shot. Gatou was impressed with the removal of human and the restoring of machine-qualities to the mechs during the anime. |
 |
Full Metal Panic?Fumoffu’s two episode Arc of A Goddess Comes to Japan is proof of a rare occurance in the Anime fandom where a screenplay actually becomes a novel and not the reverse! |
 |
The First Sun is a Japanese New Year tradition in which friends gather and watch the first sunrise of the New Year. Other New Year events include a ceremonial arrow, carnival games and plenty of sake to drink. |
 |
The traditional Japanese summer festivals have young women wearing Yukata, a dress very similar to the kimono Kaname is wearing in Uncontrollable Bluebird. Visits to a local shrine are also very common amongst the games, fireworks and festivities. |
 |
Suikawari is a real typical Japanese game played during summer festivals, picnics and beach gatherings where blindfolded players take a crack at cracking open a watermelon with a bokken as one would a pinata. |
 |
In Japanese culture, a folding paperfan can be used to enhance comic elements of a story through the art of rakugo. Originating from the Meiji era, this technique is employed by Hayashimizu to aid his rather dry and serious disposition. |
 |
The inspiration for the Bonta-Kun character in FMP?Fumoffu comes from a children’s craft show called Dekiru kana featuring a spotted bear called Gonta-Kun. The added theme park fandom tends to make this teddy irresistable to nearby children. |
 |
The style of school uniforms is so influential in Japan that it can become a student’s deciding factor when deciding which school they want to attend. The uniforms of Jindai High students are actually quite favorable in Japan, even winning awards for their design. |
