Khundes:
So I started watching FMP recently, and upon finishing the first season, I was confused at to which was the followup. I misunderstood ANN at first and thought that "The Second Raid" was the direct sequel, only to find out today that "Fumoffu" supposedly comes before TSR. Upon starting TSR I didn't see anything out of place, so I kept watching until episode 6.

Given that I'm halfway through TSR, is there anything in Fumoffu that warrants me to stop watching TSR and backtrack to Fumoffu first? Would Fumoffu feel entirely out of place if I watched it after TSR?

The series is awesome, and after ep 6 of TSR I REALLY want to see what happens next...!

(Oh yeah, I searched the forums and didn't find a dedicated FMP thread to revive, which I found surprising. So here's an FMP discussion thread! :P)

FMP is pretty old.

Fumoffu has nothing to do with either FMP or TSR. It's just comic relief. Some say because FMP lacked that but was always hinted at. *shrugs* You won't miss anything or not understand when first watching TSR or Fumoffu.

Khundes:
Awesome, thanks newy!

Fumoffu will be interesting when I get to it then, I find my favorite bits of the series are the funny bits(though the serious bits and the action are also quite good).

SJR0531:
From what i've heard, Fumoffu has nothing to do with the first or second season, but it falls in between seasons. If that makes a difference, go with that.

eyelsi:
basically, fumoffu are scenes mainly in the school, which appears in between the main stories in the manga.
But apparently it doesn't really match the story (not advancing storyline) and it's mainly for comedy reasons.
That's why they decided to make it to a separate season just because it's funny as ****....

I personally would suggest to watch fumoffu before finishing TSR.. but that's just a personal opinion.
after TSR is also fine because then you feel like the ending is finished...

whereas the manga has A LOT more than what the anime provides sadly...
like afterward testarossa got betrayed by every member of the ship and was kidnapped blablabla..
but it isn't in the anime series at all. Figured it'd be interesting if they made season 4 but guess not.
