FullMetal*Panic!

Well fair enough and you're honest about it true.

I guess I was hoping for a happy ending for her as well. Maybe Kurz gives up on Mao or something.

Oh well.

Thanks anyway.

Well it's just one of those things. I'm not dense or anything, I recognize that Kaname/Sosuke has always been the focus of the storyline. I was pleasantly surprised when they threw in the "hugging by the pop machine" bit with Teletha Testarossa at the end of the 1st series. I also recognize they wer...

Well, anyone who knows anything about the military would realize that Tessa and Sosuke aren't in the same branch of the military. It's also a mercenary organization. And again, I like the love theme fine. It just doesn't appeal to me as much as everything else. It's sort of the old "Asuka vs. Rei" t...

I like it fine but they're not what attracts me to Full Metal Panic. Sosuke is shown another world by Kaname it's true but the process of humanization is something that isn't completely done by her but by all of his friends. Furthermore, I always note that Sosuke is Tessa's Kaname. Her one link to t...

Compering Gauron to animals is insult towards them. How many animals are sadistic? None. In this, only human like Gauron can be like that, sadistic bastard. Well he operates in "Fear" and "Dominance" mode at times. Higher psychological torture seems to be somewhat beyond him except for when he tort...

Overall, I can't say that my opinion of this series is terribly high. My opinion of the series is a lot higher than Fumoffu because I don't watch Full Metal Panic for Chidori/Sosuke. The only episodes I really liked of that series were when Tessa showed up and the brief kidnapping plot of Chidori si...

Well, realize, that after Read or Die and lots of Gundam fandom, I'm fairly used to the heroes starting with an organization only to later have it turn out to be evil.

Hell, even American TV did it with alias.

Gaulron's logic doesn't preclude death as an act of love.

;-)

Man, I just wanted to reach in and beat the crap out of Sosuke for what he did to Tessa.

Remember, Gaulron is a man whom seems to develop peculiarly strong bonds with children who have fought in wartime. Apparently, from his background, Gaulron was a child soldier himself. Take note the only people we see Gaulron treating with any display of affection is the child soldier grown up in Af...

Ah yes, T and more T!

By of course I mean Tessa and Testarossa.

;-)

Ethics I suppose.

The organization was portrayed as a group designed to put down terrorist plots and preserve world stability but the torture scene made me uncomfortable. Plus, the causalness of discussing Kaname makes me think they're plotting to kidnap her as a resource.

I love Tessa, so this was a painful episode for me to watch.

She's trying to be the good girl and Sosuke is not noticing she has good reasons for it.

Just curious on your opinion. I'm halfway through the Second Raid and its doing some pretty questionable stuff.

So anyone want to talk about this anime/manga?
