Firstly, I wanted to say that I probably had more luck than many others, as I only recently started the Full Metal Panic series and finished it completely within a few days. Maybe after 13 years without a continuation, I would have lost interest or lost hope that it would ever continue. It was unusual for me that I, who have already watched a lot of anime (503), somehow discovered this beautiful anime only very late. But now let's get to my first review ^^
Story - clear and understandable until the point where you hear about Whispered, black technology, or Lambda Driver. Nevertheless, it was fun to watch. 7/10
Action - yes, there is, but it's not overwhelming. 6/10
Comedy - mostly when Sousuke and Kaname are in school life. 7/10
Romance - not so much, even though there are hints from both sides. 4/10
Mecha - solid Mecha designs, although most are just copy and paste, and only a few stand out, like the Arbalest. 7/10
School - is present, but unfortunately, in my opinion, too short. 6/10
Character - Sousuke/Kaname 10/10, Thessa 8/10, Kurz/Melissa 7/10, Gauron 7/10, Rest 7/10 Conclusion 8/10
Animation - it was definitely solid for its time. 7/10
Anime style - i loved it, for many it may not look special or outdated, but as someone who grew up with anime like Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, Naruto, Pokemon, or Digimon, it's pure nostalgia. 10/10
There were good as well as bad phases in the first season. Sometimes I really wanted to know how it goes on, sometimes I almost fell asleep ^^ All in all, I was satisfied, and especially Sousuke and Kaname, both are just divine! A plus point for me was also the art style. As I said, for me, it was just nostalgia, as if I were back in old times.
Conclusion: 8/10
I will also give a review for Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid and Invisible Victory. Those who are interested can also read them :)
