The second season of Full Metal Panic "Fumoffu?" is more what i wanted this show to be: It's hilarious, it's sweet, it's fast paced and it's much more tonally consistent than the first series. With that said (and this is where i think they took a step backwards) it also completely forgets about character development and any overarching narrative. That's fine for some, but when you're as invested in the main characters as I am, you really want more than just joke-joke-joke-joke-fanservice-joke-joke... In the end it doesn't try much more than making you laugh and it totally succeeds in doing just that! All the characters you know and love from the first series are back and it's wonderful! They're much more laid back and just having fun, instead of moping around about the ethics of warfare.
My favorite episode? "The Warcry of Excessiveness" - The way Sousuke coaches this prissy rugby team into a fearless force of killing machines (of course utilizing his army training) is truly glorious to behold! The ending is surprisingly dark for a Fumoffo episode, but hey, that's what i enjoy and what i was wishing there were more of: Dark Comedy
All in all I award Fumoffu an 8.5/10 - There are hours upon hours of fan service to be had here - Fantastic season, but the best is yet to come~!
