I don't understand this trilogy at all Stanley Kubrick's FULL METAL JACKET FULL METAL PANIC! FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST

A joke comparing three unrelated works with nearly identical titles: Stanley Kubrick's war film Full Metal Jacket, the anime Full Metal Panic!, and Fullmetal Alchemist. The punchline is that the speaker treats them like a confusing trilogy despite their completely different stories and genres.
