Full Metal Panic

I just finished watching the anime Full Metal Panic and I still think that Sousuke and Kaname are one of the best anime couples out there. He is highly intelligent and an excellent soldier but a little dumb where the human relationships are concerned. She is strong and gifted with a strange power that makes her a "Whispered" but rather choleric and short tempered too. When these two get together, sparks fly. Literally. Man, I love anime girls like Chidori Kaname! :)

I've watched Fumoffu and The Second Raid first, even though they are the sequels to FMP and when you compare these three, they are completely different. FMP is a strange mix of happy, goofy and sad, full of action but laughter too. Fumoffu is... well, silliness pure! *grins* And TSR is so incredibly sad.

But I think I liked TSR best. In it we see what Kaname is willing and able to do to survive, how much she has learned from Sousuke. And Sousuke... well, thinking Kaname has died, he breaks down, finally being just a teenager who has already seen more than any human being should. Some people didn't like this sequel, but I thought it was a fitting ending because it gave us a real conclusion - not to their relationship but to the development of their characters.

All in all, I love this anime, all its three parts, and I would recommend it to every mecha-lover out there :)
