Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu - Full Metal Fervor! (Vol. 3)
Kaname's friend Kyoko sums up the third set of episodes of the action comedyFull Metal Panic Fumoffuwhen she observes, "This just keeps getting weirder." The principal of Jindai High threatens to disband the rugby club unless the players break their 49-year losing streak. Sousuke has to train them for their critical match--with the help of a book of rugby rules (which he doesn't quite grasp) and a volume of Marine-style cursing (which he grasps only too well). Jealousy rears its head during a visit from Captain Teletha "Tessa" Testarosa, Sousuke's Mithril commander in the previous season. Tessa brings military and fan service to Jindai High and the Okutama hot springs, but no one peeks at her or Kaname in the outdoor baths when Sousuke's on duty.Full Metal Fervorcan't quite match the previousFull Metal Fracasfor take-no-prisoners hilarity, but it's still very funny. (Rated TV PG V: comic violence, nudity, risqué humor, including real and fake profanity)--Charles Solomon
