Product Description The Fan Favorite For Sci-Fi Action Franchise Continues! Tensions are at an all-time high as the world spins rapidly out of control. Kaname is left alone when Souske disappears from class, and this time he seems to be gone for good. The spunky Whispered may be a survivor, but how much can one high school girl survive? Meanwhile civil wars looms around the corner as a rogue AS decimates entire city blocks in Hong Kong. The SRT searches the fractured city for clues as to the origin of this new threat, while Sousuke rushes to master his nerve and the Arbalest both... Time is running out on peace! Loaded with DVD Extras: 3 Japanese Audio Episode Commentaries 2 Behind the Scenes Documentaries desertcart.com The pace quickens, the action intensifies, and the tone darkens as the third season of Full Metal Panic! starts building to its climax. Kaname uses every trick she can come up with--and a few she learned from Sousuke--to expose the individuals who have been stalking her. Away from her familiar high school setting, she proves resilient and inventive, outwitting the Mithril agent who's replaced Sousuke as her guard. But she can't kill the Chinese assassin and has to be rescued by an unlikely knight-errant: Commander Testarossa's brother Leonard and his mecha-body guards. As Kaname discovers untapped inner reserves in dangerous situations, Sousuke is running on empty. Unable to concentrate on his assignment as a mecha pilot combating an unknown foe in Hong Kong, he fails to fulfill his orders for the first time in his life. Disheartened and distracted, he walks away, into the unknown. (Rated TV 14: violence, violence against women, profanity, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon Review: More Full Metal Panic....in HD! - If you have seen the other 2 Full Metal Panic series, this one is required viewing. You will not be disappointed. This series goes back to the gritty action and drama seen in many portions of the 1st series. Most definitely the least humorous out of the three but that's what allows this one to shine through. Plus, we get to see the much more emotional Sousuke, rather than the socially inept and more laid back Sousuke in Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu. Anyway, the conversion to blu-ray makes the overall animation quality crisper and clearer and the colors are more vibrant. The sound quality is much richer and noticeably more dynamic. Definitely a much better way to enjoy this awesome series. For people new to the Full Metal Panic universe, this one and the other 2 series are recommended if you: 1) enjoy mech battles and war/battle based stories, 2) enjoy "tongue and cheek" humor, 3) enjoy nice doses of action(explosions, gunfire, and etc), 4) like interesting and engaging storylines, and/or 5) like memorable characters and good character development. So basically, if you don't mind an anime that gives you everything from absolute seriousness to zany humor, and some of the stuff in between, you will probably enjoy Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid(and the other 2 shows). Review: In case you were disappointed with the first season... - I watched this after watching the first series which I personally was a bit disappointed with. This series reloads to give you more of what you saw in the first series but this time the creators do a much better job of fleshing out the characters. Everything is just more polished, including the animation that was already excellent to begin with. You could watch the second raid without watching the first season but you'll be missing out a bit on the various relationships between many of the characters. Unlike some series though, you won't be totally lost. I just wanted to do a quick review for those who have seen the first series and were also left feeling disappointed and wondering whether they should go for the second, I say yes. If you're just a casual fan of the anime genre, you can go ahead and skip the first season without missing out on too much.

Outstanding Blu-ray Anime Series!
Kaname Chidori, Captain Testarossa(Tessa) and Sousuke Sagara are in their 3rd adventure in this fantastic Full Metal Panic TSR Blu-ray set. It's amazing, has a lot of war, great action, and suspence. This is a great sequel to the Full Metal Panic Franchise. It looks so real with crystal clear picture and sound. A lot better than the DVDs. I know that some people aren't satisfied about this set because the lack of animation from the opening. But I guarantee for those who have a 42" LCD HDTV or bigger(no plasma) center ALL your color settings(leave it on 1080p). Then you'll get better HD quality while you're watching the series. Overall this is one of the best anime blu-ray sets ever sold. This is definately worth buying.

In addition to being upscaled from SD, the opening animation is not encoded properly and frames are dropped.
While it still looks good (much better than the highly compressed DVDs that have tons of blocking artifacts), this show was originally animated in SD resolution and was upscaled for Blu-ray (it's still worth buying if you don't already have the DVDs or are bothered by their compression artifacts). What's more, it was encoded at 1080p24 despite the opening animation being animated at 30 frames per second. This means that while the main show animation is fine, the opening appears choppy on Blu-ray compared to the DVDs. The movement is not as smooth since frames are missing. Since 1080p30 is not supported by Blu-ray, the opening would need to be encoded at 1080i in order to show all 30 of the frames per second. Since it's not possible to have the opening at 1080i and the rest of the show at 1080p, they could either encode all of the show at 1080i (like the Japanese Blu-ray release), or encode the show at 1080p while encoding the creditless opening in the extras at 1080i. I would personally prefer the latter, but I would be satisfied with either solution.

北米版でちょっと心配でしたが、問題なく再生できました。 特典は要らない人にはお勧めです。

いい買い物をしました。私は無印とTSRを買ったのですが、この北米版のフルメタTSRには特典映像やOVA、そして賀東さんの香港取材(約3時間)が入っていたりと、お腹いっぱいです。はやく続編でて欲しいですね。そしてBlu-ray2枚だけなので、まとめてみるときにディスクの入れ替えが必要のない点もいいと思いました。掘り出し物を見つけられて良かった。
