I remember watching an anime about a special ops soldier who is assigned to be
the bodyguard of a high school student. He is also socially inept in that he
interprets almost anything as a threat to her. I believe it has two seasons,
the first season of which is actual plot, and the second season is episodic,
comical episodes.

full-metal-panic
What is the name of an anime about a special forces, socially inept high school student bodyguard?


To formalize what has been stated in the comments:

The anime series in question is Full Metal Panic, based on the light novel
series. Mech-specialist Sgt. Sagara Souske is tasked to protect Kaname Chidori
when she is targeted by a terrorist organization. He is a skilled fighter, but
fails to react normally in most social situations.

It features 3 seasons (as of 2014):

Full Metal Panic - the first season is very plot driven.

Full Metal Panic? Fummoffu - the second season takes a more comedic approach,
with many of the episodes being broken into 2 half-episodes.

Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid - the third season is much like the first,
with more of a plot focus (13-episodes).
