Geekatana Anime Review: Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid

Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid is the third season of the Full Metal panic series and is the second time that the  franchise is being handled by Kyoto Animation after getting the license for Gonzo. The series was originally released back in 2005 roughly two years after Full Metal Panic Fumoffu own release.

While the Full Metal Panic Fumoffu deals on the comedic aspect of the series, Full Metal Panic the Second Raid however dives into the far more serious aspect of the series which is the military and political side of things.

Geekatana Anime Review: Full Metal Panic (2002)

Full Metal Panic is a mecha military anime that sets itself apart from other mecha anime due to its focus on military story and a far more realistic approach on combat. I guess this was one of the appeal of the series for me and has gotten me hooked. As the series was pretty much akin to the Cyberbots or Front Mission games that came years before.

I was also already reading the Full Metal Panic manga before this one was turned into an anime. So already have a clear idea of what the anime was about before even going into the first episode.
