It would be kind of funny if they do audiobooks for the entire series so Luci and Chris end up doing all the stuff the anime didn't cover.

Oh snap, they got Christian and Patton to do the audiobooks? Do they trade off entire chapters or do they always voice their respective character regardless of who's doing the narration?

-edit- Oh shit, after listening to the sample they did it just the way I wanted. Luci seems to be the main narrator but Chris voices all the guys and Luci the girls. Excellent.

I really wish they had done Spice and Wolf this way.

I've purchased the first of the audio books but haven't listened yet. I hope they do them all! I'm glad to hear they are doing it differently from Spice and Wolf. While I like Brina and J. Michael's narration, I would rather hear Holo speaking Holo's lines and Lawrence speaking Lawrence's lines.

I've always considered FMP! to be one of the best blends of action, romance, and comedy around, especially when you take the entire story into account and not just the part that's been animated. (spoiler[Though Invisible Victory did get to the point where the romance was at least no longer a question for the characters, it doesn't get to the depth of despair before the happy ending. We can only hope that will get animated!])

Isn't Tokyopop's license to the light novels expired?

The note at the bottom of the review should be updated.
