Full Metal Panic The Second Raid Starter Set

Product Description One of the best-selling series in 2003 continues....To Souske Sagara, undercover high school student and member of the mercenary group Mithril, life in Tokyo seemed the same as always. But underneath the promising exterior spin the wheels of a conspiracy that threaten to destroy the peace. Unrelated at first glance, a series of tactical assigments draws Mithril's Special Reponse Team into a tangled web, with the spider wearing a haunting face from the past! With inside help and technology to rival their own, this adversary is after the Arbalest no matter the cost. And don't forget that math test... Loaded with Extras: Bonuse Episode, Audio Commentaries and 3 Documentaries (Tour at Japanese Selfe Defense Force, Location Scouting in Hong Kong - Part 1 and Dawn of Light Novel), 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound Starter Set comes packaged in Collector Art Box Amazon.com The Second Raid (2005), the third installment of Full Metal Panic, picks up about two months after the first adventure ended (and ignores the second, Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu). Sousuke tries to juggle active service with the mercenaries of Mithril and high school assignments tied to his efforts to protect Kaname. A mysterious enemy attacks in a remote Eurasian country and in China: It may be Gauron, the bloodthirsty terrorist Sousuke battled in the first series. He's accompanied by the assassins Yu Fang and Yu Lan, sisters who may also be lovers. Director Yasuhiro Takemoto stages hand-to-hand combat and a major mecha battle in a claustrophobic tunnel beneath the Yangtze River. When he's not engaged in deadly struggles, Sousuke remains as clueless as ever, and Kaname has fits at his excesses, although the tone of the show stays darker than the lunatic Fumoffu. The extras include footage of Takemoto and Shoji Gatoh, the author of the novels on which the series is based, scouting locations in Hong Kong and studying the equipment of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. The only addition in the Starter Set is a box to hold the discs. (Rated TV 14: violence, violence against women, grotesque imagery, tobacco use, nudity with suggested lesbianism) --Charles Solomon
