Reviews

This is probably going to be difficult to review without giving too much away, but I'll try to keep it simple. I'm not too used to reviewing - so bare with me here! I'll start off by saying that I absolutely adored the first series of FMP! And, to be honest, was completely overjoyed when I found out that a second season was also being released. However, I have to say that I was slightly disappointed by the length of FMP!TSR. At a mere 13 episodes, I didn't really think that it was long enough - compared to its predecessor at a just right episode count of 24. But this small problem didn't stop me from actually watching the series. But despite it's length, it certainly contains enough action. There's a lot more going on in this second series than the first - and they still managed to do it all in a small amount of episodes.

Everyone's favorite clueless Sargent is having problems in balancing his work with Mythril, as well as his 'public' life as a sort-of bodyguard for Kaname. As a result of this conflict, Sousuke is having difficulty in trying to balance his life between the two, but mostly it causes problems for the Mythril side of operations. This continues on during the entire series.

The love triangle that existed in the first series and transcended into the 'spin-off' series FMP!Fumoffu is even more apparent here. Of course, there's also Tessa the ever present captain of the Tuatha de Danaan (or Toybox). It's quite interesting to see how the relationship between these three characters continued to develop from the first season, through to fumoffu? and then to TSR. I won't reveal too much though.

All in all, the character development in this series is very good. Better than in some other anime's that I have seen in this particular genre. The animation style continues it's high standard, and is definitely no exception in this season either. And to put the cherry on the top Mikuni Shimokawa returns to perform both the opening and closing themes of the anime. Could you ask for anything better? If you're a fan of the anime - or even a fan of the novels that this series is based on, I would most definitely recommend it. I'm just hoping now that they do a third season! As I think that this season really left some openings for a third series. But I'll let you make your own conclusions about that.
