imageMithril is a a group of selected soldiers who pilot mechs. They are often seen as the peacekeepers of the world, hired to palm terrorist actions, and other violent political situations. However, a strange group known as Amaigam has appeared, giving Mithril cause to worry. Non alone answer they possess the indistinguishable applied science as Mithril, but they have the ability to consumption hi-tech techniques that non justified Sousuke, a top of the inning pilot, can master.

The missions keep pouring in for Mithril, merely things turn particularly deadly when a traitor is revealed among their operatives. Lives are hopeless, and only with the captain's quick rational were any of the aviate able to survive. To make things worsened, Sousuke begins having more and more trouble balancing protecting Kanamei and his regular missions. Mithril intelligence thinks it's time to help Sousuke to lighten his load, and the Captain has no choice but to hold. However, orders meant to constitute Sousuke a better solder devastate him alternatively, and throw off him into turmoil. Can atomic number 2 really just walk off from Kanamei?

imageThis series is so much to a greater extent serious then the previous two incarnations and the characters experience in truth started to grow upward. Personally, I love what they're doing with the story, it's in depth, IT's complex, it's intriguing, and they still keep more or less of the fun silly aspects around also. It hasn't lost its playfulness, they just added some deepness.

The animation was static excellent in that volume. I really am impressed with how they sentient the mechs. It's non cheesy 3D, its each smooth, incomparable and fluid. The sound was too still hot, atomic number 102 haphazard vocalism acting changes or anything cockamamie like that. This series is really display off the phonation actors' ability to portray assorted emotions as the story switches betwixt happy and dramatic scenes quite often.

Once again, I wanted the extras. There's just something more or less the commentary and location reconnoitering that you tooshie't help but love it. The mathematical group is so silly and amusing, and IT's almost like watching some rather strange buddy comedy located in Hong Kong.

I'm projected with this one for the entire series, I'm fevered to picture what happens to the characters, to work out just what the strange group Amaigam is all about, and to go out what happens betwixt Sousuke and Kanamei. Full Tinny Panic continues to grow into a well-rounded and excellent series in this volume.
