Full Metal Panic-The Second Raid

it's kinda sad that no one will ever get to see sagara actually piloting the ARX-8 Laevatein...

this beautiful machine replaced the old ARX-7 Arbalest in the end of the novel, because it was destroyed by Leonard Testarossa’s Belial. it's so powerful that it single-handedly took down 3 Behemoth units and 3 Codarl units within 5 minutes and 52 seconds.

FMP The Second Raid is a great addition to the storyline; cleared up one mystery quite nicely. I appreciated the darker theme; Sousuke, Tessa, and Kaname all had issues to contend with. Adding Tessa's brother is possibly a leader for another series.
