I actually was going to just wait and see how The Second Raid season of Full Metal Panic! shaped up first, partly out of my intense dislike for Chidori Kaname. But with the promise of regular doses of yuri from the second episode onwards, I dived in faster than you can whisper “Kiyohime…”
Overall, a good episode with enough screentime for all of the returning cast especially the Mithril Arm Slave pilots and the senior crew of the Tuatha de Danaan. Small quibble about Anime Keep’s sub which had Mardukas as “Lieutenant Commander” when I think “fuchou” means “Vice Captain” and demoting Andrei Kalinin to “Lieutenant” from Major (shousa). If you want a real review I suggest Omni’s entry. I’m just going to talk a bit about my two favourite anime ladies in this series, Teletha “Tessa” Testarossa and Melissa Mao. :)
