FMP The Second Raid Discussion thread (comments, final thougths)

[MandyDi]

Finally, the forums are back up! It sucks that someone would hack into the site and the data was lost, but at least the site's back up....

It sucks we lost all the great dicussions over TSR...so I guess we'll just have to make new ones!

So here's an easy topic....What was your favorite moment in TSR and why? I'll eventally answer as well.....

so dive in

[grev]

Favorite moments in TSR have to be ep 12 when Tessa argues with vice captain Mardukas over Sagara's loyalty, and basically all of ep 13.

Full Metal Panic is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. The characters are so breathtakingly realistic. I have never even seen anything that was so true to life. It's a shame this series is so underrated.

[Mousuke]

For me, the best parts are when Kaname cuts Sousuke's hair and then when Sousuke breaks his computer (both in ep. 6)

[MandyDi]

yes, episode 6 was pretty intense....I think my favorite part (although maybe favorite is not the right word) is when sousuke snaps and shoots u-know-who...all that emotionial intensity...

[PersocomChi]

I agreed with everything said above and I also liked the last part, Arbalest's lambda driver was cool when that red vemon was holding Uruz 1 hostage ^^

Tessa confess love and loyalty for Sousuke was the best xD

You still have it? Awesome. I think it would be great to have it back up, especially when new ppl come in...

[full_metal_sousuke]

1 of my favorite parts of TSR was when the abalest was fighting all of the venoms and when the abalest used that attack with the lamda driver on the red venom.

I just ended epi 13 ... the series is indeed great but last night i saw all Gits Second gig so i think this ruined TSR a little for me... i was still on that more serious cyberpunk world mood...

[PersocomChi]

TSR was really great, it showed Sousuke's interest in Tessa and Chidori.. the competition is heating up I hope the next season would be aired in 2006

[MandyDi]

That would be great, but most likely we'll have to wait another couple of years, which is good quality wise I guess. Unless, they just release a DVMC OVA, that might take a little less time.

Best part ever has to Gates. Anytime. Anywhere. Naked.

Who else in the wide world of over-the-top animated characters will you find someone as genuinely cruel and remorseless (while remaining hilariously kitten-molesting-assistant-drowning-Schubert-belchingly ridiculous) as Gates?

Personal highlight is him flinging Yu Fang's body briefly before the final battle. **Onee-chan!! Save me from the Creepily irresistable man-appeal of Gates-sama!!**

Villains can only dream of being as badass as he was.

[chaosfox123]

Favorite part of TSR has to be in the last episode, When Sousuke relised that Chidori was alive it changed the the whole prospect of who was going to win. Of course you knew that Mithril would win but the way Full Metal Panic made it so complex so you would have doubts about Mithril winning it was fantastic!

[Kami]

Oh! There are so many!
When Sousuke helps Kaname to find out who was spying her (so funny).
Episode 6 the whole episode, especially the haircut scene. (love it!)
Episode 7, the Yu Lan (is that her name? I already forgot!) and Kaname's meeting and Sousuke conflict (Orders or Kaname)
Episode 8, the discussion between Sousuke and Tessa
Episode 9 and the meeting of Kaname and Leonard.
Episode 11, the conversation of Sousuke and the hooker.
Episode 13 when Kaname cries in Sousuke's chest (love it too!).

I think my favourite moment has to be the Chidori cutting Sousuke's hair part.

Not much word needs to be said. Everything is within there.

[MasafumiGotoh]

My favorite moment was in episode 2 when Gates shot the General and his own comrade. I was on the floor for 5 minutes.

[Kurama no Miko2003]

Egads! You want us to choose? There's so many choice moments in there, especially with Gates being . . . psycho? Mentally unbalanced? In any case, out of all the anime villains I've seen lately, he's easily the funniest and best one out there. But my favorite of him has got to be the scene where he meets some other general, kills him, kills his comrade, and sings "Ave Maria" while his underlings kill the other guys. That one was a riot and had me laughing for ages.

As for combat scenes, the Mao vs. one of the twin sisters is easily one of my favorites. FMP has so many mecha vs mecha combat scenes that a very well animated 1v1 personal close combat sequence is a very welcome change . . . and between two very skilled females at that.

As for relationship drama . . . well, not much can top ep 6 with Kaname giving Sousuke the haircut and him punching out his laptop screen afterwards. I think that scene is one of the best I've seen illustrating the unstated feelings between the two.

That said, I'm crossing my fingers and toes hoping for more FMP!

i think my favorite part was epi 9 the end part........with kaname in the bath robe( half naked )crying and she saids all these things about souske......I thought that made relationship betweeen kaneme and souske more intresting,,,,,and it was so sad

[XxChris43xX]

I have a question about TSR.... I wanna know if its a good follow up to the original series.... I heard that Fumoffu was good, but what of TSR?...
