Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid just as I expect from episode 3, especially since I already read the novel. The novels help me to understand the relationship that developed between Sousuke and Al from Arbalest, but the anime really bring the graphic image of the fights between Arbalest and the Venoms, especially the red
Venom. Also what Chidori has to go thru without Sousuke was describe very very nicely. The desperation, the lost and the anger.

Awesome! Nobody can figure out what cause it, not even Sousuke and Al. I recommend to see both the novel and anime. Maybe the anime first than the novel... I was the other way around but still :thumbsup:

After reading few other novel of FMP, I sort of understand why Sousuke can get along well with Al... .... not exactly well, but it works...
