FULL METAL PANIC! THE SECOND RAID



It's back again! After the first Full Metal Panic! series and the second Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu!, this is definitely a great return! I had have enough of the comedies from the second series and it's about time they bring the mechas and scenes from the battlefield back! After 8 episodes, I am loving it. Can't wait for the next episodes to show up!

I love it when they give more story progress to characters like Kaname Chidori and Captain Teletha Testarossa with Sousuke Sagara. Melissa Mao is still as hot as ever! Wow! She reminds me of Haruka Urashima from Love Hina. I'm also happy that Mikuni Shimokawa is again the singer for both the opening and ending of the anime.

According to reviews, we are expecting just 13 episodes from this series. I hope they have more. At least 26 would be great. Oh well, most importantly, we are getting a good story plot here. The enemies, Amalgam and especially those two sisters are bad-assesed enemies which are hard to fight against. There are many questions left unanswered after 8 episodes so I am following faithfully every week!

Here is the plot summary from Anime News Network.com:
This series is set about two months after the events ocurred in the Tuatha de Danaan at the end of the original series. Mithril becomes aware of a secret organization that has technology able to counter the ECS (Electronic Cloaking System) mode. This organization, known as Amalgam, also has "Black Technology", obtained from "Whispered" like Kaname Chidori, and like the other intelligency agencies, they intend to obtain more. However, when Sousuke's mission to protect Chidori is terminated by Mithril, all seems to be in place for Amalgam's plans... Like many of its fans know, it is based of the FMP novel "The End of Day by Day."
