Yes, already watched the whole thing. After Perfect Girl Evolution, FMP is about the purest form of anime crack there is. This series focused on Sousuke and Kaname in school, which was the best part of the first series. Watching Sousuke attempt to be a normal teenager without a clue as to what one ois is worth almost any price. I really liked Tsubaki and the student body president, both of whom there needed to be far, far more of. There also needed to be more of Mao and Webber.
One thing that annoyed me, though, was Tessa...I liked her in FMP but thought they wasted a fair bit of her potential by making her mostly be the other girl who liked Sousuke, but he it's like she forgot all her pride and dignity on the ship and all that was left was shameless chasing after Sousuke and starting things with Kaname(which wasn't in the first series...she was MUCH better behaved in that regard there) and basically being annoying. In FMP, Sousuke was largely oblivious to her crush but seemed OK with her, here, he's like a caged animal backed into a corner, and I don't blame him. Sheesh. Hopefully she'll find her personality beyond shameless crushing again in FMP: TSR.
Incidentally, for those who've seen it...know the rugby ep. where Sousuke was reading from Mao's training manual? I was brushing my teeth when he spouted certain lines.
Next up is Full Metal Alchemist(well, ep. 5+...already seen the first 4)
anime,
anime: full metal panic
