Full Metal Panic!: The Second Raid

[Stold]

Absolutely amazing. Just ended recently, Season 3 of Full Metal Panic, this one actual follows the story of the original novels. It's 13 episodes long and can be acquired here at defiant.ws

It also containts the most amazing anime villain to ever grace the screen, Gates. The man is completely insane and utterly hilarious.

I watched the first two but got kind of got grossed out by the sisters that appear in the 2nd episode. They're too touchy feely for me. It just turned me off to watching it. -_-

 

[notanordinarygirl]

Sisters? What sisters? Must. Know. More!!! I absolutely NEED to watch this series, just like I need to finish watching Fumoffu! Full Metal Panic is awesome, awesome, awesome!!! From the two episodes you've watched, Feder, do you consider this series to be funny? Serious? A mixture of both or something else? What is the rating for this third season? Where are you watching it!? Come on, people, TELL!!!

This was a good season. However, I like the first season better. In "The Second Raid," all the 12 episodes were good and had strong character development. But, after anticipating mecha action and the capabilities of the new black mecha, I was disappointed. The 13th episode felt rather rushed, and after building up the main bad guy for so long, they made him almost entirely vulnerable to Sousuke in the end. Sousuke just pulled a complete 360 DBZ style rage and destroyed everything in mere seconds. What was that? So yeah, other than the disappointing ending, it was a good one.

Everybody loves the Sosuke rage. I wish I could pull one of those in school someday. It would save me from tests!

I blame Kaname for poor Sosuke going crazy, but it's still cool as Hell when he does (can I say Hell? Just in case I can't: I meant HADES!!!). I laugh.

I don't care if the ending isn't too great, I still want to watch this season. I would love FMP even if it had dead birds in them!!!

i just finished watching it, i think it's awesome! my brother thinks it's better than the first season. To me, this sequal wouldn't be so good if not for all the build up in the first season.

That part about Sousuke quitting is unexpected (unexpected series wise, but not so when Melissa asks that question). As Everglaze said, there's some strong character development and i love every bit of it. That part about Sousuke discovering how his current mission is scrapped and going crazy about it totally throws me off! I suppose a guy like him who always keeps everything inside is bound to blow one of these days.

The actions... no problem there, they're as good as the first season, um, even better i think.

and Chidori's scary encounter is just so intense.

i don't think the ending's rushed. What's more to say? Sousuke gets what he wants. His relationship with Chidori has gone a huge leap. He has made a huge change in his life. All in all, it's a good ending. Nothing much more to be added... unless they're going to go head with another FMP series as this season leaves a lot of questions unanswered!
