Full
Metal Panic: The Second Raid OVA: ~Wari to Hima na Sentaichou
no Ichinichi~ ("Captain's Day Off" is the best
I can translate it to) takes place on a day of rest for
the crew of the Tuatha de Danan. It follows Tessa as she
tries to remember what happened to her stuffed Bonta-kun.
So
why is it that Tessa is having trouble remembering the whereabouts
of her Bonta-kun? Well on her visit to Tessa's quarters
the night before, Melissa managed to trick Tessa into drinking
some of her beer. Tessa, having to seemingly never drink
before, was pretty well lit after the single beer. She is
having trouble remembering any of the previous night's events.
Slowly,
as she walks around the base asking if anyone has seen her
Bonta-kun, events from the night before play out in her
head in typical flashback fashion; in black and white. Eventually
she remembers ALL of the embarrassing things she did while
under the influence and seeks to clear up what she believes
to be a rather large misunderstanding between her and Sousuke.
This
OVA single handedly attempts to return some of the humor
to the Full Metal Panic series after the mostly somber and
serious feel of The Second Raid. I believe they have succeeded,
so well in fact that this episode would have easily fit
into the Fumoffu series without any rewrites or changes
of any kind. It really is a lot of fun to watch. |
