Thirteen years after The Second Raid, Full Metal Panic finally comes back, drops the school comedy, and goes full war story, but does it actually stick the landing?
Genres: Action, Drama, Mecha, Military
Studio: Xebec
Source: Light Novel
Jack's Score: 4/10
Verdict: A darker, grittier return that burns two episodes on recaps, skips the context it needs, and stops halfway through the story.
