One scene shows two girls showering together, with their bare breasts fully detailed.

A man is implied to have been caught masturbating in one scene.

Full Metal Panic balances with lighthearted comedy and gritty mech drama at times, so it's best to say that it's very tone changing when it comes to subject matter.

Characters sometimes wear tight outfits and beach clothing that expose cleavage at times.

The characters go to a hot spring in one episode. The (non-detailed) breasts and buttocks of various female characters can be seen.

Some sexual references are present.

One episode has a plot about a sex offender who glues girls' hair into ponytails.

Sousuke accidentally grabs Kaname's breast during one scene, much to her anger. This is more comical than sexual, however.

While speaking as a profane drill instructor, a character makes some (partially bleeped) crude sexual remarks. He tells a group of boys to think of their rugby balls as 'a wet c**t and f**k it as hard you can'.

Whenever a character becomes a "Whispered", they become fully nude, however their sensitive parts are covered by hair.

Scenes of moderate to strong military violence; slightly stronger than the first season of Full Metal Panic in terms of detail.

Slapstick violence is present during Sousuke's escapades in high school from characters being maimed by various traps Sousuke lies around from landmines to paint traps. A running gag depicts Kaname slapping Sousuke with a paper fan as a result for his deeds.

Action violence is present during the mecha battles. Blood also appears during scenes of gun violence as well.

The majority of the show features only mild comic violence/weapon use and explosions, associated with the main character's military past.

One notable scene in which strong language is heavily used in the English dub, with repeated use of 'f**k'. Regular use of 's**t', 'damn', 'hell', and 'bastard'.

Some language like "damn" and "hell" are present.

Quite strong for a TV-PG, including frequent use of mild language like 'damn', 'hell', 'ass' and 'bastard', as well as occasional use of stronger words like 'shit', 'bitch', and 'douchebag'.

One episode has a character comically speaking like a profane drill instructor. Strong language is partially bleeped ('f**k', 'c**t', 'c**ksucker'), but the words can clearly be made out.

Characters sometimes drink beer or smoke casually during bar scenes.

Mech battles tend to be intense at times.

Despite the TV-PG rating on the official discs, there is a great deal of profanity, fanservice, and risque humor in this series that may make it unsuitable for young children.

Certain moments can be emotional to sensitive people.

It is noted that FMP becomes more darker towards the end with elements than can be intense for certain viewers.
