Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid

It's kind of hard to tell from those links, but that just looks like TSR is going to be released to disk. Not exactly unexpected.

I'd be hoping for more plot closure through a new ova. Maybe something along the lines of: Full Metal Panic: closing the loose ends or Full Metal Panic: the harem ending.

T_T Madbunny, I really hope you're kidding...

Anyway, the plot holes'll be explained as long as GONZO keeps animating FMP. I wonder since now they finished The Second Raid if they'll have another filler season like they did with Fumoffu before taking up that Christmas boat season.

AUGH. I cannot wait for that one. SO much gets explained, and Sousuke and Chidori's relationship strengthen in that arc. A lot more light is shed onto who exactly works behind the scenes and have been attacking Mithril, as well as a bit more on Al... I think. I haven't read it in so long....

This special OVA episode is all about Tessa, baby!!!

It's more of an original "fumoffu" episode which I don't believe was in the novels. Basically Tessa somehow got drunk thanks to Mao and was figuring out where the heck her Bonta-kun doll went. This is a great opportunity to see how the side-characters' lives live normally (Clouzot's "normal" life was hilarious especially when Kurz got involved). Heck, a lot of the moments were funny as hell, and they were once again strongly supported by KyoAni's godlike animation.

Oh yeah, there was quite of bit of Tessa fanservice moments as well for anyone who wants to gauk at her.

Woot! Looks like it's time to start looking for more. How many episodes in the ova?

I'm actually not certain.

Now one of the biggest WTF moments ever!!!

This appears to be a new relationship for FUNimation and should strengthen their overall library as they explore more titles in Kadokawa's very solid catalog.

It's official; ADV is losing their grip. But I bet FUNi will be able to reassemble the original English VAs for the main characters since most of the them worked with them.

Whoa... that IS a big WTF moment right there. Yeah, I hope they can get the ADV cast to work on it too.... it just wouldn't be worth it if Sousuke and Kaname both sound completely different than the original dub.

Plus it's definitely one of the few animes where the dub was better than the sub in the original FMP, at least in my opinion.

I think it may be a one-shot deal, actually.

Come on, future boy conan, which looks suspiciously like Ghibli? Priceless!
