MY FIRST 2014 post!! So sorry it's been so late i am trying to push myself into writing more I got so much to write about and put my thoughts on but as sad as it it. This is my first post of 2014, I dont know whether to be sad or happy because its about one of the best Anime and Manga of my decade. No joke, so mind yourself there might be a slight (spoiler) here and there.

So where do I begin, I finally completed the manga after decades of waiting!! It's like a part of my life ended its quite sad. It felt like a long journey that just ended like that, this is one of the reasons why I avoid Manga's that get completed because I end up being depressed and try look for another which is as bad ass as the ones i read before.

This story from Full metal panic, to Full metal panic sigma has become a real gold mine for me. Its a story that burst with so much action and amazing storyline put together. I however did feel that the ending there was something missing but I'm not complaining. To me I waited for so long to get this manga completed although I did read the novels but it was nice to read the manga too you know. There is many side adaptions to this duo but I only read the main ones because they were translated. 

The art was amazing, I loved the plotline to sigma as it continued off from the original manga. Sigma was devastating to see so much pain with the forces, and the crazy war they battled it was just epic. I thought it concluded a bit dull but it was nice to know where everyone stood. There was so many twists here and there which kept it alive, the mecha's itself was drawn beautifully and the battles were on point. For me it's probably a refreshing change to read something like this. It was deep, emotional, interesting and so damn cute with the relationship between Kaname and Sousuke.

Did I mention that Sousuke is still a babe?! The art work was immense I'm such a big fan of it, I think my influence came from this alot when I think about it. I watched the anime back in 2002, I am now (22 and half) I am still a big fan of the show, I am a huger fan of the Manga as I followed it for so long. It was just so great to see where it lead of from the original, I think it was a blast to see it progress to a stage where we now understood why "Whispered" was needed with the black technology and finally we realise who "The whisperer" is in Sigma. Its a major bonus, we follow along Sousuke and his travel while trying to save Kaname! Although to be fair there wasn't any need because it all fell into place at some point without knowing. Honestly there was such an awesome character development in this series that it blew my mind away from what it was originally. (It was his words that saved her it was quite amusing I thought it would be something more amazing)http://mangafox.me/manga/full_metal_panic_sigma/v19/c085/18.html

Well here was a small review on the show and Manga. To me the Manga was the epitome of nostalgia for me. It was a great animated series and it was probably memorable due to the interesting plot line and characters. I remember me and my brother talking about this show and expressed how cool it was, you know back in the days when no Anime had been hyped up to make you hate it. We enjoyed watching this together it had the humour to it as well and action was a plus point for me and my brother. We give this a total thumbs up!

It's something you shouldn't disregard, give it a chance see what you like about it and what you dont. For me old school shows like this had more depth although im not saying the new ones dont. I can't express how much I wanted Sigma to progress to the Anime, I was slightly disappointed with Second raid but I didnt worry because you can always rely on a Manga. The ending to the whole damn Manga brought me to tears, I felt butterflies in my stomach because I finally go to see them together and kiss! (spoiler) I warned you!

overall : 
My nostalgic Anime and Manga I revisited, I will never forget it, it's one of those shows and stories I can read over and over and see it as well. So for those who are new or those who disregarded it get your ass back to the show dammit! and watch the damn antics and plots they get up to. Its a breath of fresh air and the music itself brings me back to the days of my middle school (man I'm totally going old on myself *sigh*) honestly, you will not be disappointed, a classic mecha Anime that should be remembered if anything. 

I am waiting to read the other extras of the Manga, and totally waiting for the new series to be finished as well and translated so then I can see more development with the Mangka! He never fails me and I don't think he ever will but ending this beautiful show had made me realise that I am indeed getting older and I'm only writing this up because I can look back on things and say to myself, yes these were the shows that should have been reconised and loved by all.

So here I am, and this is it for the first post of 2014 until next time ~ so I will leave some songs for you guys to jam to.

Enjoy! ~
