Summary:
Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid (フルメタル TSR, Furumetaru TSR?) is the direct sequel to the original anime series. It was produced by Kyoto Animation and ran for 13 episodes. The series is based on The End of Day by Day novels and takes place three months after the events that occurred in the Tuatha de Danaan at the end of the original Full Metal Panic! series. Mithril learns of a secret organization that has technology able to counter the ECS (Electronic Conceal System) mode. The organization, known as Amalgam, has access to Black Technology, which was obtained from the Whispered. Like the other intelligence agencies, Amalgam intends to obtain more. Sousuke's mission to protect Chidori is terminated by Mithril, instead leaving her in the care of an anonymous agent known as Wraith (though this ends up being temporary).
Having immensely enjoyed the first season, my expectations for TSR were reasonably high. And it didn't disappoint. It went completely above and beyond my expectations. Whilst it may be shorter than the first season, I still think the storyline was great. The characters -old and new- were superb, the entertainment? Pure class. Once again I could not take my eyes away from the screen. Everything about this series was just about perfect. I was left craving for more, I am hoping for another season. It is just that good. Let me tell you now, if you haven't watched Full Metal Panic, you're missing out on so much. I think, that this may very well possibly be my favourite anime series. God, I love this anime.
