Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid

I have no idea, the releases haven't been in any way regular lately, even anime-shrine have had weird gaps, but that MAY be the airing times.

well, the raws seem to be realeasing strangely as well

well, maybe it really IS aired so irregularly, although I have trouble believing that.

It's just the airing time for that particular episode 8 was irregular, it was aired in Japan on September 14th late night 12:10 am, around 3 weeks after the last episode. Otherwise, it's aired weekly. Next episode should be aired in Japan on the 21st.

I'm not particularly sure why episode 8 wasn't aired on its usual weekly basis, probably took a break or some complications with the schedule or something.

I see. Thank´s for the info.
Maybe it was some other Series that had a 1 hour episode that hogged the weekly spot

Heh, just watched episode 9. Not a bad episode, I'm glad one's down.

The episode was great, and this show is getting to be really ambitious, but I'm not glad.

SPOILERS AHEAD

I hoped they would keep the lesbian sechs twins!!!

Sure they were creepy, but they were also kind of cool. And it seems this show is really serious about being brutal. Even for a bad girl to be strangled so helplessly....

Spoiler

Yeah this seems to get really ugly.
But I thought that "silver" was kinda gay, almost saw a little off Griffith in him

Now that you say it....you're right.

So maybe we´ll see an eclipse soon, and then Souske is going rouge

FMP 09's out. I'm downloading it right now at 4 kb/s, I've been capped for exceeding my download limit.

eps 10 is out .... at tokyotosho

Post by **Loeviz** » Sat Oct 01, 2005 9:27 pm

Well cant say that so much happened in this episode (10)...

he cracked bigtime

Post by **Loeviz** » Sun Oct 02, 2005 8:30 am

He´s gonna go to his love off his life in next episode, stealing his mecha or something in that way

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Sun Oct 02, 2005 10:38 pm

I can't say I blame him much, although I don't understand why he's so pissed at his Arbalest. Whenever it had to work, it worked.

I'd really like to see Chidori kick some ass on her own though.

Post by **Loeviz** » Tue Oct 04, 2005 6:00 pm

Gehehehe, yeah Chidori kicks ass pretty good on her own

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Sun Oct 09, 2005 9:08 am

11 is out, haven't watched it yet.

Edit: Another mixed bag ep.

Sousuke should get his act together. Or they could let Chidori pilot the arbalest

Post by **Eldo** » Sun Oct 09, 2005 9:15 am

Some 'dramatic' and 'shocking' lead up to Sousuke's past from what I watched, a satisfying episode, although not the best. Seems like this series is all about character development for now.

Post by **Loeviz** » Sun Oct 09, 2005 6:19 pm

Yupp seems so.
I wonder how many episodes they´ve planned this time, anyone that has a clue about it?

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Sun Oct 09, 2005 10:55 pm

I don't really mind the character eps. The trouble is that they offer nothing much new in terms of general anime character eps. It's mostly some young guy coming to terms with himself and the world in general. In this show they are not done badly, but it still has this "been there, done that" feel to it. I should rewatch the first series to see whether it isn't even being redone from there, we had that sort of eps there, too. I must say I like the general feel of TSR more than the first series, but if they don't pick up a bit, I'll just be bored.

Quite frankly I found the character of the whore Sousuke meets more interesting than him at the moment.

Post by **Loeviz** » Mon Oct 10, 2005 8:52 am

Yeah I like the whole feel a lot better then the first season.

Souske didnt say that much at all in this episode.
If they switch to Chidori in the next episode im gonna be a little bored I think. What if they switch in between these two in the 10 upcoming parts... *sigh*

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Tue Oct 11, 2005 8:58 am

I also hope they won't continue devoting a single ep entirely to one character, some switching would loosen up the rather slow pacing right now.

Post by **Loeviz** » Sun Oct 16, 2005 6:19 pm

Ohh crap, seems like episode 13 is the final episode.
Cant help but wonder how the heck they are supposed to wrap things up in 22 minutes though.

Was a nice twist to put Gauron back inte game, even if it only was for a short period
