Second Raid, I'd say, overall did pretty well. Most anime on gets 13 episodes per season, and some only get one season, but there was certainly room for improvement. Perhaps I would have been better to scrap Fumoffu and just have it all as a 47 epsidoe season like the first one. They could have stretched it by adapting elements from the later books, but then you potentially run the risk of a cliffhanger ending.<br /><br />Here's hoping for the best when season 4 comes out, hopefully not another Fumoffu.

Sure it had some good moments but it felt rushed as hell, especially with only 13 episodes which really hurt the season. And don't get me started on Mr. Gates, the antagonist of Second Raid, just...no.Kubo Casketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09613031365772853954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080248961176338496.post-89829020894183415642016-07-14T16:54:38.667-05:002016-07-14T16:54:38.667-05:00If so then it must have been a resent development,...If so then it must have been a resent development, since I've only ever since the first five in English Sam McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14718188944564756045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080248961176338496.post-55502900582970268622016-07-14T15:40:58.769-05:002016-07-14T15:40:58.769-05:00actually, it looks like at least *9* volumes have ...actually, it looks like at least *9* volumes have been translated? according to Amazon. mtohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314151151706682803noreply@blogger.com
