Thoughts after Finishing Light Novels

I watched all of the anime then finished with the Light Novels. I got to say, I was impressed by everything. Like book 9 dragged a bit when we got into the weeds about the mechanics of the whispered. Beside that it was great.

Also it really did highlight, all of AS Pilots of Mithril were “aces” (in abstract not literal sense). Atleast those who remained. There was atleast one other AS Pilot from the anime who survived but not sure what happened.

Also it showcased the lethargy of Amalgam as organization vs Mithril. Amalgam deployed a couple new mecha by the end, but no new tech. Mithril kept finding new ways to fight and win in combat despite lacking the Lambda Drivers on most of their mecha.

Also the irony in one sense the final arc had Mithril and Amalgam swaps roles. Mithril weres one being hunted with dispersed chain of commands with outdated AS units while Amalgam had latest tech.

So that was all pretty cool. I also really liked how each of the core AS Pilots took out their counterparts.

I’ve been thinking about parallels between Eighty-Six and Full Metal Panic, and I’m curious if this holds up or if I’m reaching.

Sousuke Sagara vs Shinei Nouzen

Both feel almost entirely shaped by war. They’re extremely capable, but emotionally detached and struggle outside combat because being a soldier is basically their whole identity.

Teletha Testarossa vs Vladilena Milizé

This one feels more about leadership than anything else. Both are young commanders trying to hold onto empathy in systems that treat people as expendable and they actively resist that, even when it makes things harder.

Difference:

Sousuke does not reciprocate Tessa’s love. There’s also no real counterpart to Kaname Chidori in Eighty-Six. The dynamic just doesn’t exist there.

Do these comparisons actually work, or am I forcing it?

And between Tessa and Lena, Would their leadership styles survive if they switched universes?

What happens if Sousuke is dropped into Eighty-Six as a Handler? Chaos?

I had watched FMP on Anime Network - On Demand long ago. I couldn't recall if I finished it but, I do remember that Fumoffu is hilarious 😂 so I decided to do a rewatch from the Top!

Only to find out the anime story isn't finished! And there are LNs in English that even extends into the future! Had no idea this show started as a book & has a manga.

I'll be spending the next 2 weeks hyper focused on reading LN 1-12, any manga, rewatching the series - hell throw in ff while I'm at it. I'm most excited for the LNs though!
