Full Metal Panic? - Fumoffu
Volume #2 - Full Metal Fracas!
Initiation successful! She wants more Sousuke! And who the Hell could blame her? This series is even better dubbed, as if that were at all possible! Most dubbed anime dramas end up sucking with teeth because they usually try too hard to bury any or all Japanese elements in the series making it retarded. Or it's just too damned Japanese and you don't understand much of anything unless you happened to grow up at Yakota Air Base. This series is close to perfect. I say close because, like many lesser series, they insist on replacing Japanese suffixes with their English translations. Which is fine, except when the context is TOTALLY RIDICULOUS!!! We were joking that if I was on a date with some girl and she called me "Senior Matthew" (as opposed to Matthew-Sempai) I would pull out a hickory stick and beat the daylights out of the insolent little girl.
Ummmm.... where the Hell was I (again)? Ugghghghgh.... freaking tangents. Oh, yes! This series continues to rock hardcore and never trust free online Japanese-to-English translation pages 'cuz they're almost ALWAYS wrong! I spent an entire month thinking that this one word meant "Beloved" when it actually meant "Sex Candy". Boy, was that embarrassing! Wait, am I writing in "Reviews" or "Blogs"? Nah, whatever. I'm not really paying attention anymore anyway. I just keep hitting "Publish" and never really remember what the Hell I'm writing. But whatever it is it must be good because I'm developing a loyal following in Texas of all places! Kick ass!
