Quote:There is some "fluff", dealing with Captain Testarossa and Sousuke, that makes more sense if you've seen episodes 13 and 14 of Fumoffu. Also, Sousuke's reactions in the last episode were easier to understand, at least for me, after seeing Fumoffu. However, over all, the series is heavy in action and well worth watching.
This comment is why I asked the question above - I had the impression that the 3rd DVD series was fluff.
Unless you absolutely have to skip Fumoffu for some reason, I recommend that you see it before seeing The Second Raid. It doesn't take too long to watch and gives you a "breather" before the action starts up again.
