If in Fumoffu there was no real plot, this time the story of Full Metal really continues. And as much as hilarious and light the storyline in Fumoffu or even in season one were, the drama in this sequel is heavier than ever. There are even some profanities, a healthy dose of nudity, and some gore scenes. However, even if this time it is a lot more serious and mature, it is not overly done. It is tasteful and every element is well-balanced. The excitement is tripled as more revelations about the plot is starting to unfold.

Of course, for a new season there are few new characters. Some are just twisted and some are definitely mysterious. This time, the villains are nastier, more powerful, more skilled and a whole lot more twisted. As the protagonists are force to separate, there are some huge character developments for them in this sequel. You’ll see them like you’ve never seen them before. Sousuke, in this season has lots of first times. It is first time ever that we see Sousuke loses his cool when his feelings and decisions become so messed up when he is force to leave Chidori. We see him at his lowest time and it feels very surreal to see him make so many mistakes during a mission and that’s all because of a GIRL. Never in his life that he encounters such feelings and he doesn’t know how to handle it. Also, we see him get mad about his orders something that we never see from him or even think that he would do as he is such an “all missions” man. And most importantly, first time in his life that he would make a decision for himself and not because of some orders. Chidori, learns to do things on her own and protect herself after being left alone and knows no one to rely on. She realizes how safely she feels when Sousuke was around and by her side. Anyways, the incident makes them realize some important feelings and realization about themselves. It also makes them a lot closer.

The animation improves a lot since the previous seasons. It might not be that huge but the difference from the first two seasons is still very visible. The fight scenes are intense and exciting even more.

This is absolutely one of the very few series that I really want to see and continue to follow in anime form so bad. It is one of the very rare times that you feel so frustrated that you won’t be able to see it in anime form already and you have to follow it in the original form. As much as I love the original, I am definitely a very visual person so I genuinely want it so bad to see in anime adaptation. Hopefully in the coming years!
