Synopsis

Tells the same story as Full Metal Panic Second Raid and is as such, also based on the novels The End Of Day By Day.

Leaving off after the original series, this series tells of Sousuke and Mithril as they fight Amalgam. Like the original series, but both sides have gotten a bit more aggressive...

When I started off watching the anime of Full Metal Panic, I didn’t know what to expect. But through the 3 seasons, I became immersed in the story to the point that I couldn’t stop watching. Heading into the final season, “Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid” I was surprised by 2 things, the character development and the strong emotions. That’s not to say that there wasn’t any comedy, there was! But the entire season felt stronger. This gave me the impression that the series could be not just good, but great! Yet what was the biggest flaw in the anime? It only covered ...

This is my first review so it's maybe not really a good one. Though i really wanna do it because this series has so much for me. Full Metal Panic Sigma continues from where the first Full metal Panic ended. For the one who wants to start reading this series i recommend reading the anime's first season or Full Metal Panic! by Tateo retsu which is the prequel for this manga.

Now for the review.

Story:10/10
The story developed in a careful and detailed way so that there aren't any aspect left from it previous series. The series progress in a serious manner without leaving behind ... the humor parts of full metal panic have . As many as physics-defying concepts this series have aside, the author wrapped the theories in a way that it won't feel exaggerated to its reader. He cleverly tried to make it so there aren't any loopholes on the theories. As it progress, the manga didn't take the full linear story line but includes short chapter that includes flashbacks.Those flashbacks really helped the character development and make us refreshed between long arcs.

Despite the lack of romance in previous series, romantic parts are really well developed in this manga, Sousuke and Kaname relationship never was a lovey-dovey one however this series proves that put the original story aside, Their love for each other despite the obstacles and drawback was what made this manga really enjoyable.

Art: 9/10

Personally, the art didn't really impressed on me in the beginning because the other one by Tateo Retsu are better in a way that the character expression and gestures are more "lively". In addition, the battle scenes are too confusing , like how the panel are organized and the point of view. However, the art is getting better in towards the conclusion of the series.Even there are some up and downs, the artists really working hard toward this series. The artist really improved the way he draw the character that it really resembles the previous manga and the anime. The only drawback for me is that the last two or three chapters didn't really as good as the others chapters. even though i really disappointed on that note, but this series really proved the artists souls in drawing them.

Character: 10/10

Character development was really done nicely in Full Metal Panic Sigma.The way it depicted, full metal panic sigma really put a conclusion to all the character in the series, No one was left out, even the deceased ones. Every Character personal struggles like, how Sousuke really feels about Chidori or Tessa, and How it was going for Mao and Kurtz also progressed without any rush. As slow the as the character development may be, the pace was perfect way to end it. The death of certain characters really feel saddening however the author made it that their deaths was not in vain and it made the protagonist keep going and move forward.

Enjoyment: 9/10

From the beginning to the end, Full Metal Panic Sigma was a hell of ride. There was a time of fun, sad, dramatic and romantic ones. Putting the story, character and art together, this manga indeed really satisfying.

Overall:10/10
Full Metal Panic Sigma mark the closure of The Full Metal Panic saga in best way possible. I have been following this series since i was a kid and waiting for years to see its continuity. Reading this manga made me feel a huge luggage was put off from my mind after all this years.

Got hooked on the anime on Netflix and just wanted to have more FMP! The characters are so likeable; of course they are all a lil' bit dense and teeny-weeny, but damn it, the environment they are all living is exactly the contrary! A real a**hole!

Teenage romance paired with global (counter) terrorism, battlefields, brainwash, sci-fi etc. Damn it! The only thing missing are evil aliens!

Genre mix at its finest!

Every character is explored; for me they all are quite interesting; without any sucking characters; (imo); It's also good balanced with comedy, action and serious stuff!

Action: Blasting! Battlefield like!

Romance: Yes! of course a little bit dense ...
