Ah the continued partnership between Nami and Sousuke. I really enjoy watching these two together tbh and believe they have great chemistry.

That aside, the episode continues to build towards the main story including the current plot to save Kaname Chiodori. There's still not much action this episode but I think pacing will pick up soon next time.

Nami's a good character, I like her. I found Souske to be hilarious for some reason in this episode, badass as well.

"Bandai Namco" already lost way too early lol.

Man! she is a bit rude? after told him to tell everything then she got mad and then back to him because she already love Sousuke to help him out.

This episode was racist

Uh oh, being delayed due to production issues is not a good sign, especially in the front half...

That said, I am interested in where this goes. I'm glad they started tying it back to the previous content when they did, and not just the overt "Sousuke's going after Amalgam" part... that detail about the massive price drop of AS parts and their rapid proliferation definitely ties back into Leonard and Chidori.

That was a really good build episode. Gotta love them sponsorships in those fights (Bandai Namco, Good Smile Company, etc.)

Nami seems to be gaining some feelings for Sousuke from the looks of things. Let's see how Sousuke is able to tackle Amalgam in those illegal battles soon.

Those sponsors were on point xD
I still find funny how dense Sousuke is (who is justified due his background, but still). Too bad for Nami, since she doesn't stand a chance.

We know now the reason why Sousuke went here, he was following the footsteps of Amalgam. And it seems they have already found him.
I hope they will get Lemon out of the jail.

Would be nice to swap Nami for the female lead. It says a lot when almost every female side character is better than the main one... I guess the arc will end next episode. I don't remember Sigma very well but I feel like in the manga it was much more substantial and resolution had bigger impact than it can have in the anime at this point.

It shows that Sousuke is a true professional when he patiently builds up his operation in order to get to Amalgam. I think the Police chief will provide him with an opening very soon too.

Don't know this mid build-up story feels so bland, what were those fast matches shown even for, rather it was changed for characters relationships built-up some dialogues are so out of place. Not the best animation this time ... Hope that it'll be back to the main line soon.

Damn, I really love the turn this series has taken... Loving the whole mech-fighting scheme, with Nami and Lemon, and all of that. I've actually become wholly invested in it all. The look and feel of it, reminding me a lot of a mesh between Black Lagoon and Suisei no Gargantia. Very cool.

I suddenly felt an urge to fetch some Full Metal Panic! plastic models. I wonder why...

Nevertheless, Crossbow's Savage looked interesting in its new livery. For some reason, the paint job empathises its frog-like appearance.

Sagara is moving ahead with an agenda of his own, delving deeper into darkness in the process. Unfortunately, a step closer to Amalgam is a step closer to danger for all those who are involved.

Pretty relieved to see the show lighten up JUST A LITTLE for this arc, although still not much.

Still, I feel like this season so far has really failed to properly balance the drama and the action with the romance and the comedy (which is almost totally absent except for the past two eps). Makes everything feel completely out of character compared to the other 3 seasons.

I'm pretty happy with Nami and Lemon right now, and as someone who hasn't finished the manga yet, I wonder if they will still have any role in the show after this arc is finished.

They should fix animation art.

12-episode run. Do they check to ensure how big fan reaction is? I really want another season.

Hello, it`s my first time talking here.
I`m a big fan of FMP, I like the route that this episode taken.
At first, it looked like another episode to promote the game, but soon the serie take the focus again.

I don`t want to tell any spoiler for anyone who doesn`t saw the episode yet, but all 20 minutes passed so fast that I had the feeling of watching a 5 minutes episode. Not because the quality is poor or anything like that, but I enjoined so much this episode that the time passed so fast and I gotten again that feeling of emptyness for waiting another week to see the next episode.

Sousuke says mithril is wiped out. We saw them escape. What happened to the rest of the mithril? Why hasn't he tried to contact them or anything? Don't they know he is alive too?

The sponsors on the AS aside, did they get some money out of TI (Texus, lol), Siemens, Honeywell, Murata etc.? That was blatant free advertising otherwise. And what's with [NO "SHANGHAI INSTRUMENTS"]. I dunno if they really exist or not but if they do, they can easily bring a lawsuit against those who are behind this anime production.



Jokes aside, they could probably get all of the items from digi or mouser if they weren't making a living in that that shoddy place. But I guess not. Because the items don't make any sense. What the heck is a fluid capacitor? Or did they mean Capacitor fluid. And then 330m. I am assuming they meant Capacitor with 300mF but nothing else is mentioned. If they meant fluid, it would mean 330mL but who the heck tries to replace/replenish fluids for Caps? It would make sense for batteries but not capacitors.

Anyways, not gonna waste any of my time on a page than I already have that doesn't have any bearing in the quality of the anime which is actually going downhill rather rapidly.

A bit of a buildup episode for Sousuke to explain his true objective to get closer to Amalgam. I hope he gets some good stuff equipped for Al the second...

Wait a second, I need to comment this before finishing watching it. Was there really Sword Art Online games sponsor on one of AS?

Also, little bit nit picking, I don't like when Booting Savage, there is clearly RK-91 Savage writening. First, It's soviet model, it should be in Azbuka like it was written in first FMP when Sagara stole RK-92 AS. Second, It's soviet model, as far as I know, It's not officially named Savage, that's NATO symbolic or something like that, they Arbitrary naming soviet original production AS with S letter names to acknowledge they are from Soviet production.

"You must be quite understaffed" ... lmfao Sousuke.
I doubt Mithril is done for, there must be a reason why they haven't contacted Sousuke yet.

Everything goes according Sagara's plan but it looks like Amalgam knows about it

I'm a bit suspicious about Lemon, he already noticed the winning streak and now he is still stuck in the prison

Nice lighthearted ep. Would've been better to see more dynamic fights but it's best to save that budget for the real nitty-gritty later on.

I like to imagine Tessa used to pay him in exactly the same way. Just flirting a bit, then pulling the cash out of her pants like a pimp.

They did pay him, right? They didnt let the child soldier work for free, right?!

If Sagara wants to get close to Amalgam, isnt using his real name absolutely retarded?
