First and foremost, what blows me away about “Full Metal Panic the Second Raid” is how shockingly different it is from the first season. The first season, and its successor “Full Metal Panic Fumoffu,” had a heavy emphasis on comedy. Lots of zany antics and bear suits. This one is a full on thriller, equipped with trauma, violence, cliffhangers, and life-changing situations

- The very world of the main character is shaken up. (Shaken? Shooken? Shaked?) Sosuke Sagara faces his worst nightmares, his own personal demons, and he has to deal with them all by himself. We see the main character in the darkest part of his life - we feel it. A rather beautiful episode that I think about all the damn time is when a lonely and depressed Sagara hires a prostitute just to talk to her - but he doesn’t do much talking.

- This season is not afraid to get down, dirty and ugly. The main villain is an absurd, over-the-top, borderline Doofenshmirtz who faps to cats and drowns people! The first episode begins with an international border dispute, with Mithrill acting as world police, preventing terrorism and war - heavy stuff. The action is nail-biting, fast-paced, realistic, and topsy-turvy - you never know who’s gonna come out of it and how

- Themes, people! The Second Raid starts the bold, previously unheard of discussion about how much humanity one has room for in inhumane environments. Sosuke Sagara sees death, blood and violence day in and day out, yet still tries to balance school work, relationships, and home life. Can he! Should he give up on one? Which on? Which one i more important to him? To everyone else? Deep stuff, man
