The third and darkest season of Full Metal Panic! comes to an appropriately dramatic (and zany) conclusion as Sousuke tackles his personal demons. Alone in a largely deserted Hong Kong, he confronts the sadistic terrorist Gauron and his own weird upbringing. After Kaname knocks some sense into his head--figuratively and literally--Sousuke acts like a proper hero: he arrives in the nick of time, in a mecha that crushes everything in its path. As the voice of Sousuke, Chris Patton convincingly moves from despair to righteous anger to hilarious confusion; as Kaname, Luci Christian matches him mood swing for mood swing. Sadly, this disc concludes the Full Metal Panic series, but another sequel remains possible. The extras include a 30-minute OVA in which Theresa Testarossa tries to reconstruct what happened the previous night, when Melissa Mao tricked her into drinking alcohol. Among the problems: what's become of her favorite stuffed animal--which turns out to be Bonta-kun from Full Metal Panic Fumoffu. (Rated TV 14: violence, brief nudity, risqué humor, profanity, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon
