Based franchise for anti-loli chads.
>describe the sexOffscreen while the actual plot happens like all modern Nanoha anime. Hopefully this series doesn't turn into that but maybe they figured the manga was good enough for Nanoha fans.
>>288854295
I’m looking forward to it!
>>288854295I'm just here for the citrus.
>>288854295Wat?
>>288854511that faggot should have smelled her
>>288855531>FULL POWER>TOTAL DESTRUCTIONImagine Nanoha doing this to your dick. >>288856678I mean I can see why he'd be nervous but at the same time it's honestly the girl's fault in situations like this for not thinking to be a bit more discreet around the guy just because he's an animal. I don't remember if this ever came up later where Nanoha realizes she was changing and stuff in front of a boy but I doubt it.
>>288854358I really think they should have not dropped the lolicon appeal though. And go easier on the sci fi parts.Nanoha and Fate was much cooler as badass lolis who seemed like anomalies instead of some well ranked non loli officers.
>>288854295I get the feeling fate and nanoha will only be around for 10% of the anime while the rest is girls we don't care about.
>>288856750nobody cares what pedos think
How old is this Nanoha and Fte?
>>288856872They're supposed to be 13 but they look way older.
>>288856750>muh loli
>>28885687226
>>288856825I still need to watch the two movies, are nanoha and fate as irrelevant there as in the series after s2 ?
>>288854295So Fate's the dominant one now?
>>288857566Nanoha and Fate were pretty heavy in Strikers. I don't think at that point is where the issues started. And no, they're heavily in Reflection and Detonation as well. But then, I haven't seen the stuff people complain the most about so maybe my opinion on what is heavy involvement is skewed.
>>288857566>irrelevant there as in the series after s2I feel like people in these threads overstate how "irrelevant" Nanoha and Fate become post A's. They may not be the central protagonists in Strikers anymore, but a BIG part of Strikers' plot is about the bond they form with Vivio.>But what about Vivid Strike?Vivid Strike is a low-stakes martial arts manga about Vivio and her JS friends. What would they possibly have to do there?
>>288854295is this yuri?
>>288858127if by yuri you mean yreally ugood rsex ifriends then yeah
>>288858127It's not.Fate carrying Nanoha here was definitely needed and not just because she wanted some groping action.
>>288854295am I the only anon that watches Nanoha for the pseudo-mecha and beamspam, and not the yuri?
>>288858127No
>>288858127They are living together, sleeping in the same bed, showering together and adopting a kid.Just normal friends doing friends things.>>288858240I liked how the setting gradually expanded spacefuture magitech lore.Though beamspam felt out of place in Vivid.
>>288858240I watch it for both, but lets be real we will never see Nanoha and Fate kiss onscreen and presented as a couple than just bff yuribaiting forever even when both Yukari and Nana gonna die off.
>>288854295At least it's not Force artist who killed the series.
>>288858240They're two sides of the same coin
>>288858127Officially no. It should be yuri at this point but Tsuzuki is too scared of the waifufags
>>288858240I'd assume most people watch it for both
>no WolkenritterI sleep
>>288858301>They are living together, sleeping in the same bed, showering together and adopting a kid.anon, if two grown women live together and sleep together while raising a child it's yuri.
>>288858758Better for them to not be here than just to be easy targets to establish new villains.Actually, scratch that, I can see that happen. Pic related is bagging Signum.
>>288858826Fate is canonically Nanoha's best friend. They could marry off-screen like Chrono and Amy but they remained as best friends instead
>Super edgy dark magical girls with blades and blood and creepy injections and explosions>also Nanoha, Fate, and Hayate are here
>>288856884Yeah they look minimum 15.
>>288858826And Full House is about three polyamorous gay men rising their daughters in San Francisco.
>>288858838I can see everyone jobbing but Vita.
>>288854295looks like and certainly will be shit. good for people who hate nanoha though
>>288858868My favorite is the Jetstream Sam girl
>>288858903Vita either gets cool stuff or jobs hard like in Force
Isn't it OOC for Nanoha to be so affectionate? Since when she has been the type to just glomp people?
>>288858972it's reiwa fanfiction, they're butchering it on purpose
>>288858867Nanoha canonically has Fate for lewd things as well.
>>288858906But does that girl realize what is she fighting for?
Can't wait. Especially for Yuuna.
>>288859414I actually kind of want her to crush /ourgirls/
>>288859364That's fan speculation
As long as we get pink magical nukes I'll be happy
>>288859798
I hate that every planet in this universe looks like a random Tokyo district.
>>288859958>A joke on a comedy spin-off from another spin-off
>>288854295What happened with Symphogear project
>>288860016Still canon
>>288858972She's already dating Fate in the timeline now
>>288858127Yes, canonically they've been a couple since 2012.
>>288860588What happened in 2012? StrikerS was 2007 and Vivid was 2015
>>288860623Word of God from the creator and voice actors confirmed they are married to each other
>>288854295At least we are getting a cool Nana song out of it but man, this is going to be just another force, isn't it?
>>288860872If they give us a kiss scene it will make up for it
>>288860740That's Japanese humor.
I've never seen nanoha. How manly is it in comparison to symphogear?
>>288861032Cope
>>288858240You can watch it for both.
>>288861232I think comparing the two can cause issues because if you go into the series expecting Symphogear a lot of people may be put off by how the first series starts even if it does get pretty crazy later.
>anti-yurifags are now trying to claim Nanoha for themselves.Sorry, this franchise is run and shaped by NanoFate chads.
>>288861368Without the lesbians nobody would care about this franchise.
I watched the first 2 seasons years ago, any recommended order? Is strikers canon? I want to start from the beginning
>>288854295Can't wait.
>>288861673StrikerS is canon. Since you watched Original and A's, now it's StrikerS -> Vivid -> Vivid Strike -> The new anime
>>288861232Symphogear is generally more GAR, depending on the installment, but this new anime seems to be more action oriented. I'd say that if you like one, you should give the other a try.>>288861368Man, I miss old /a/ when you could just discuss Nanoha without all this retardation about hating yuri. Just how these people got brainwashed into hating one of the top 3 fetishes of choice for men anyway? >>288861673It's canon for a different continuity. The new anime follows the Movies' timeline, and the Exceeds manga. This is wrong: >>288861711
>>288861754Maybe unrelated, but should I watch CCS first to more properly appreciate Nanoha's departure from magical girl standards?
>>288861754Yeah well whatever, he should still watch all the animes anyway
>>288861782That's kind of a big investment since Cardcaptor Sakura is 70 episodes, and one show might not give you a very detailed understanding of the genre anyway. Nanoha has an entire genre history behind it, and 1998 mahou shoujo like CCS is already significantly different from 70s/80s/beginning 90s mahou shoujo (Sailor Moon rewrote the genre in 1992 but there's minimal difference between a 1984 and 1991 series). But if you don't mind 70 episodes of CCS just to form an idea of what Nanoha is subverting, sure.
>>288857686>So Fate's the dominant one now?Fate will never top Nanoha again, unless she recovers her prince-Feito powers, now long-lost due to Force getting deleted from their universe.>>288861782Not really, unless you want to. The parallels are mostly only for the first season, where Nanoha kind of starts like CCS, with a young girl getting magical powers and having to deal with monster-of-the-week type of situation, for only a few episodes in Nanoha's case. There's also the rival and love interest thing, but that happens very often anime.
>>288861939Exceeds Fate very much feels like Force Feito
>>288857686Nanoha has always been the bottom for Fate
>>288858240i watch it for cute lolis and pantsu
>>288861978Pantsu only in Season 1
>>288861952We'll have to see how it goes, she's looking more dashing by the moment in Exceeds too.
>>288862005cute lolis in every season
>>288861939Better version.
>>288858868honestly I'm really worried Nanoha is getting relegated to side character in her own show
>>288861232watch movie 1, then A's series and Strikers series Nanoha is about little girls nuking each otherhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOPFK2Wd2wo
>>288862062That has been the case, more often than not, since after As.
>>288862062It's been 21 years since the last time Nanoha was the main character of a series. This actually looks to be the most significant supporting role she's had since StrikerS. She was just the mom in Vivid and completely absent from Strike.
>>288862113It's fine in Vivid because she is not supposed to be. Kinda pissed she was not that prominent in Strikers if you think about it
>>288862098>watch movie 1,ALERT ALERTDon't do this! Don't listen to this anon!Move 1 does not act as a substitute for the first season!Watch the first season!This anon is your ENEMY he is trying to HURT you!
>>288862226First movie has 10x the amount of yuri and removes any scenes with the Yuuno
>>288862162It was a pretty sudden decline in importance. Main things I remember>Thinking it really cool to see Adult Nanoha at the end of the first episode>blushing and giggling while talking to Yuuno because... reasons?>Beating up the cadet in a cold yangire rageAlso this scene, probably my favorite in all Nanoha.https://youtu.be/Jo9LHe4CCbU?is=NPMhFMm4AbLAMwrcHot take, StrikerS OP 2 was really good.
>>288854295I hope this trailer is an indication of the shameless NanoFate flirting we may see in the anime.
>>288862308?Who cares? The movie removes content and abridges the story. It's not the intended way of experiencing Nanoha for the first time. It's only a good recap method.
>>288862226Movie has kino animated starlight breaker though
>>288858127One word: Yes.
guess I'll finally check out the Reflection and Detonation movies since Exceeds looks like the closest thing to a new season that isn't as much of a spinoff series. I did overall like StrikerS but a lot of it was an avoidable hot mess (I really don't see why they felt like they needed to bloat the cast so much and try to present a bunch of random cardboard cutouts as characters to care about) and somewhat consequently I never had much interest in any of the Nanoha entries afterward.
>>288862005Definitely not as common later but Strikers definitely has panties. Both when characters are changing and some panty shots.
>Nanoha is married to Fate>Vivio has Einhart>Subaru has a waifu >Hayate has nothingWhy is this allowed?
>>288858367>At least it's not Force artist who killed the series.No that was the creator getting distracted with Dog Days.
>>288862327>blushing and giggling while talking to Yuuno because... reasons?Yuuno was still Nanoha's intended endgame. Ater StrikerS they went full idol-lite
>>288862609Sniff.
>>288862618In the Exceeds manga there definitely seems to be something between Hayate and Rein. Though in general Nanoha, Fate, and Hayate are a throuple.
>>288862631HAHAHAHAHAAH
>>288862631>>288862677Who do I believe?My speculation when I watched StrikerS in 2009 was that she was blushing and behaving awkwardly because she'd recently turned down Yuuno.
I really want to see Nanoha getting impaled in the chest again.. that was hot.
Who's the MC and how easily can one combine her name with the word sex? This is vital information.
Happy father's day, Fate-chan!>>288862631He supported Nanoha and her relationship with Fate by that point, from the sound stages.
>>288862841What did the soundstages say?
I tried to watch one of the movies out of curiosity. it was really boring and lame. its just like a cheap knock off madoka magica.
>>288862968Madoka is garbage
>>288862468>Fate taunting Nanohaooc!
>>288863168all magical girl shit is garbage
>it's only 12 episodesit's impossible to cram everything in just one season given the amount of characters. what were they thinking?
>>288863697Maybe it will be split cour. Everything's split cour nowadays
>>288863697Imagine Strikers with half the episodes. Also the thing is the manga is supposed to be a prequel unless I'm wrong about that. But I don't know how it plays into what we see in the PVs. Having a manga set things up would help but we're still probably going to get a lot of intro exposition in the anime.
>>288861782you should just watch CCS because it's good
>>288863786ugh, this anime already needs two prior movies for setup and context, I would hope it doesn't end up being more than that. I'm just very unamused with any franchise that requires the audience to do a whole bunch of glupshitto cross media reference homework before being able to enjoy a new entry, I've gotten pretty tired of it from shit like Wakfu and of course Disney slop
>>288862841Were the sound stages made before or after StrikerS? Just curious
>>288854295Artstyle change is pretty drastic this season. Other girls don't even look like Nanoha characters to me.
>>288864253I think the StrikerS sound stages came at the same time.
>>288856884They're 13 but using aging magic to bypass the Child Soldier and payment processor thing. It's why Hayate looks to be in her 30s but is the same age
>>288861939>>288862055Who's that between Subaru/Fuuka and Nanoha?
>>288865530Jill from Vivid Strike!, Rinnes's coach. I don't remember exactly what scandalous thing she did to deserve that spot. Probably Yumina deserved it more.
Do you like cute child Rinne or main series Rinne more?(Her name was Rinne wasn't it I don't remember)
>>288862651DO NOT LEWD THE IRON COUNT.
>>288863786StrikerS was great BECAUSE the final episodes were the glorious culmination of everything they had spent two cours slowly building up to.
>>288861782>should I watch CCS Yes>first to more properly appreciate Nanoha's departure from magical girl standards?No, for that you need to watch Gundam 79
>>288858240The more bits and shield bits they give nanoha and friends the better
>>288861232There's some crossover in theming. As a Symphogear fan I got into Nanoha the same way. That being said, the first season has a bit of a slow start. Even though there's some important characterization inS1, if you can't get through it then skipping S1and watching the first movie then S2 after might be better
>>288866207>slow startan innocent starter, if you will
>>288858272Imagine the smell of tired OLs
>>288858272What did they do to poor little Rein?
>>288866544Whatever it was, it looks like Hayate deeply regrets it.
>>288866720How can it be bad when it feels so good?
Is it bad that I only know of this series from that one hot yuri doujin between Nanoha and her daughter?
>>288854295I'm onboard with anything that lets me hear more nana mizuki
>>288866732Looking at Fate, maybe it did not feel good for everyone.
>>288866720But not enough to let go of the remote control.
>>288866959You don't belong here.
>>288866959Get down anon!
>>288866959weak bait
>>288866770Explain.
>>288858626I thought they had a kiss in one of the manga?How's this all work, what do I actually need to watch for this series? It's movie timeline right? So I need to watch those two (I thought there was very little differences).
>>288867214>I thought they had a kiss in one of the manga?They didn't. >How's this all work, It really doesn't. 4 movies and the prequel manga would be the bare minimum required but those movies make very little sense if you are not already familiar with the material they are adapting.
>>288863697nanoha best season is A's and it is 12 episodes
>>288867411It's also about Nanoha, Fate, and the enemy group while this new series is about that plus the new girls on our side plus however this ties into the manga. So far it doesn't seem like Strikers territory in terms of things going on yet but it's leaning more in that direction compared to the first two seasons.
>>288862226Can I watch the movie as a shortcut before the new season, then go back to watch the first season later?
>>288867214Yeah, in a couple of manga covers, also they both are also shown kissing their daughter. Most of the romance is off-screen, though.
>>288867722yes, that guy must be a yunofag. Half of season 1 is super boring while trying to do the usual mahou shojo stuff and only gets good when fate is getting tortured. But you can't do the same for A's
>>288867722Yeah, you can watch just the movies perfectly fine, season 1 is basically obsolete with the movie version, but A's anime is usually preferred by fans over the second movie though, I personally think both are fine.
>>288867885This is why mahou shoujo is dead by the way. The only people able to actually watch lengthy shows is little kids. You're saying you can't even watch a 13 episode series without getting bored, and saying don't watch a magical girl series because it's too magical girl is retarded.
>>288867722Yes and it's probably for the best. S1's start was rough. S2 was when they figured out how to actually start a season. I also still recommend watching the second movie even after watching S2. They're both good for different reasons and I feel like S2 -> the Movie 2nd A's is the order where you can appreciate the differences the best. >>288867932Anon I'm sorry S1 does not stand the test of time.
>>288868184>Anon I'm sorry S1 does not stand the test of time.Only because modern audiences prefer mindless action over good character writing
>>288868184I am literally rewatching it right now and enjoying it. People on /a/ like to think that something not being as good as some other stuff means it's shit that is a waste of time to watch. But then again I actually like magical girl anime.
>>288868228I love good character writing. But the ratio of good character writing to time spent in early S1 is worse than something like Figure 17
>>288867917>>288867876god i love nanofate I love it so muuuuuch I hate that Vivid and Strike sidelined Nanoha, not even letting her show up in the stands.
>>288854295Can't wait
>>288867932but i watched it, it's just so much worse than the standard nanoha experience. I literally watch precure for fuck sake
>>288867932>>288868184>>288868228This isn't really a "now vs then" type situation. The idea that the beginning of season 1 is pretty weak has been in the fandom since nearly it's initial airing. The popular advice for newbies has always been that the first 4 episodes are awkward with growing pains, and that the series only really starts to get good when Fate and Precia are introduced. Even when I got into the series back around '08 there were already people saying that season 1 is hard to get into, but that if you make it to episode 5 it starts to become interesting.
>>288869596OOC Nanoha is not affectionate
>>288871048OOC according to whom, anon?
>>288871048she is for fate though
>>288864798GoDDAMN Nanoha is SO LUCKY
>>288865778Main Series Rinne.
>>288872500since we just got new higurashi and nanoha
>>288865778>>288872301I need yandere Rinne breaking people's ribs again
i loved Reinforce II's little office desk in strikers
>>288860084The flanderization and playing into fan expectations just hurt it. Make it main-line canon already. Don't leave wiggle room, it's what got us in this mess in the first place. Why don't Fate's adopted kids call Nanoha 'mama' or some other form of acknowledging their 'guardians' (well it's just legal things, but so too is vivio for nanoha) romantic/sexual partner.
>>288864068It doesn't seem like it will tackle anything in the movies nor the manga.
Do I have to watch everyone previous Nanoha to understand this one?
>>288873588You should probably watch S1 and A's, and some people would say movie 1 can be a good replacement for S1. A's is one of the best anime around so you should look forward to it, it's great.
>>288856872Fate is 22, Nanoha is 26 since she was introduced in Triangle Heart 3.
>>288872923That's not really open affection desu
>>288873597So is this one set during that As -> StrikerS gap where nanoha gets fucked up? They're mid/late teens not the 18/19 of StrikerS? All so confusing, compounded by alt timeline movies and what ever the fuck happened with the various manga, some are actually retgoned now right?
>>288873975They're 13 here, so between A's and the A's epilogue.
>>288867585>you need to have read this before watchingIs a surefire way to nuke the project.>let's recap everything for 6 episodes and speed run the new material for the last 6Is also a way to nuke the project.>fuck new viewers>fuck old viewers>pls>maybe give money
>>288873975So, you've got S1 and A's, which are also covered by movie 1 and 2 respectively, although these movies have slightly different plot and are often seen by fans as in universe propaganda retelling of real events in ways that make the TSAB look better.StrikerS is the one that happens like 7 years after A's and Nanoha gets fucked like 3 years before it starts iirc. They're basically adults in StrikerS and it's pretty good.However a few years after StrikerS came out we got new Reflection/Detonation movies that happened after A's and kind of soft retcon StrikerS, or rather they happen in another timeline. Nanoha gets fucked up in those movies rather than in the thing that happened right before StrikerS.And now we have this new series which seems to be taking after the new Reflection/Detonation movies. I doubt you'll need to have seen those movies to understand it, but S1 and A's are pretty important since it introduces all of the important characters.
>>288873588Wouldn't say so, seeing how disconnected this show seems to be from what came before. You can watch the first 2 seasons if you want to see what people liked this series.
>>288866544Everything is a dildo if you're brave enough.
>>288866959>>288856750You don't belong here, literally.While obviously this anime has Nanoha and Fate older, obviously it's not because authors have some retarded morality spergouts like you but just try to maintain chronological sense as they always did.The promotional materials showing Nanoha and Fate still dare to show them younger. This is true otaku series and lolis are included.
>>288873975This is just how Nanohaverse is - spin off on top of spin off on top of alternative timeline events. And according to what original director said - it all is or is not canon depending on what version of the events you prefer.Except Force - that shit was literally everything that Nanoha is not and was canceled for a damn good reason. If you like Force you should kill yourself immediately.
>>288874270Force had tons of good stuff. It was brought down by mostly bad storyboarding/lazy mangaka.
>>288874286While Nanoha has male characters and is not avoiding showing violence and people getting seriously hurt, male MC and ridiculous amounts of gore just don't work for this series.But that's just my personal opinion, obviously.
>>288874347Probably just the;>suddenly male MC after a decade of ESTABLISHED FeMC(s)Don't use the name if, etc etc.Counter point is obviously;>how do we get viewers in this magazine who aren't already familiar with setting/seriesWhich just cycles back to hijacking series with OCs. Vivio is kinda subject to it as well. SO was StrikerS to a degree.
>>288874286>bad storyboardingThis was the biggest killer more than anything. Higa's a good character designer but she can't draw action for shit.
>>288874347Agreed on male MC, but the gore can work as long as it makes sense for the character. Having Nanoha, Fate and Subaru perform gory actions is out of place, obviously, but characters like Signum, Vita, and villains doing it? That's fine.
Nanoha cheats on Fate constantly. By StrikerS she's cheated on Fate with around 50 people. More than 100 by the time they're 25
>Nanoha thread
>>288875487?Is this a bot?
>>288854295Is this how Nanoha recharges her batteries now? Can't wait to see her first fully charged Divine Buster after this.Maybe it works like FATE, and that's why they had to schedule 3 hours of daily sex in StrikerS.
>>288875238Did she need to take her clothes off to drink that?
>>288854295These two still aren't canonically fucking yet?
>>288876995In this timeline, who knows, but probably yes going by the other timelines. But this is a tricky question, because there isn't that much material for this newest continuity.
>>288867932I think mahou shoujo died because it went through a self-destructive cycle where it stopped being made for the target audience and started to be made for the [otaku] creator's indulgences. I can't imagine little girls highly appreciating a genre that nowadays is primarily made for the staff to jerk off to yuri and ryona.
>>288877097>genre that nowadays is primarily made for the staff to jerk off to yuri and ryonaI don't think that genre exists, although it should
This doesn't feel like nanoha at all
I just hope they don't follow the characterization they had in Vivid. God that sucked.
>>288861232If you liked Symphogear, you'll like Nanoha.>>288867722Watch the series, then the movies.I want the yurischizos to leave.
>>288877510vivid was adaptation of spinoff manga written by third party.btw vivid strike was again made by original writer.
>>288877570>I want the yurischizos to leave.If merely reading a pretty tame Nanoha thread gives you a melty, this may not be the series for you. Or most anime if we're being real, since everything is pretty gay nowadays, specially Japanese media.
>I want the yurischizos to leave.You're 20 years too late for that, bucko
>>288877570>likes Symphogear and Nanoha>dislikes yuri???
>>288877690I don't really have a problem with yuri, Fate is clearly Nanoha's wife, that's whatever. I just hate the yurischizos that've infested this board.
>>288854295>all people ever talk about is the Yuri that is nearly nonexistent >actual series is about Nuclear Armed Magical Girls firing orbital cannons at each other and things
>>288877929Yeah, Anon, seeing 2 cute anime girls together is way too triggering for this board, I miss when /a/ was supposed to be our safe space. Now all the schizos are forcing me to browse their threads about their schizo anime.
>>288858240I watch it because Nanoha is a perfect main character. I really don't care about Fate after she ceases being Nanoha's foil in the first season, she's a comparatively boring character only liked because of her Seiyuu
>>288877929>I hate that people like anime
>>288878062Isn't Nanoha just a generic genki girlJust 2004 Usagi Tsukino
>>288877879Symphogear and Nanoha aren't yuri
>>288878113Nanoha is a blessed person who loves her job. If you've never felt the existential horror of being a Japanese Salaryman you wouldn't get it.
>>288878175Yes they are
>>288877995Everybody likes both things, stop being a faggot
>>288878113Only in the movies
>>288878062Just as a side note, Fate is often more popular than Nanoha in polls, depending on the where it was made and the date. Both girls are the face of the franchise, and Hayate is a distant third.>>288878175Yeah, in the west, we tend to classify media based mostly on its main one or two genres, so yuri doesn't have the prevalence in Symphogear and Nanoha for us to consider them yuri. Japan, instead, usually considers anime with yuri elements as yuri anime. Either way, it doesn't matter that much, this is just a quirk of how we use language to describe narratives based on the fuzzy, imaginary boxes we call genres.
>>288878175One of the funniest posts I've ever seen.
I don't even particularly like yuri but these two are 100% fucking offscreen.
>>288878362I like Fate better because her boobs are much bigger than Nanoha's
>>288878601Yes they areBut they are also fucking me
>>288876693>drinkIt's a kiss.
>>288860740>fate is more like a papahow did japs get that? nanoha is obviously the one who wears the pants in the relationship.
>>288878709Fate is the salaryman thats never home
>>288878243Just retarded tourists. Ignore em >>288878601I'll miss adult Nanoha and Fate. Such sex designs
>>288878709Fate is written as the stereotypical Japanese hardworking father working away, that is soft with their family and pampers them in the little time they have together. Nanoha is the mother figure that has to be strict since the father is away half of the time. Typical Japanese family dynamics.
>>288878754>19>adult
>>288878779That's approaching middle-aged in Nipland
>>288878709Japanese husbands are hendpecked. That's why they dream with underage girls, they don't know how to face their wives.
>>288878754>I'll miss adult Nanoha and Fate.Honestly it's amazing we got them at all. StrikerS is still almost unique in all of anime history for letting young girl characters grow up into adult women who still got to be cool and active characters. In all the time since, there still hasn't been anything else like that.
Tamura Yukari's voice is sex
>>288878062Fate had the greater character arcs in A's compared to Nanoha
>>288877995this>>288878601I really hate that Vivid turned Fate into a moeblob.
>>288878870>Fate has to act serious 24/7 even during downtime family life with NanohaThese niggas are serious
Nanoha is simply a bad person.
>work 14 hour days>finally get home>get dragged to the bedroom by nanohafate has a hard life...
>>288879088Nanoha has a high sex drive...?
>>288878947She was always the beautifully suffering woobie kind of moeblob, what are you talking about.
>>288879131That mana isn't going to replenish itself.
>>288879131the bedroom is just another battlefield
>>288879158She was softened up too much. She was semi-evil in the original.
>>288879201Nanoha beat that out of her early on. Kind of stupid to make this complaint now of all times
>>288878947fate was always the designated rapebait punching bag
Reminder Yukarin was this close to seal the deal with Nana years ago and she fucked up it big time.
>>288879235What is rapebait?
>>288879260the answer is obvious
>>288879295What makes her enticing for rape, though? Maybe she just has bad luck?
>>288879131She gets to have sex with Fate, it stands to reason.
>>288879295I miss tentacles in magical girl shows
>>288879217>>288879201>>288879295Fate was a fierce dark knight not a moeblob
>>288879334>>288879195Fate doms
>>288879334
>>288873136is that so? I was hearing that it's supposed to be set in the Reflection/Detonation continuity but is this entry supposed to actually be accessible regardless?
looks bad, i won't be coming back
>>288879418Fate is strong but for some reason she always seems like a weakling and ryona bait to me? I'm not sure why that is
>>288879524cute angry stump
>>288879589Strong women being weak is hot
>>288879691I want to lose to Fate butt though
>>288879746But anon thats where she is the weakest
how peak will it be though
>>288879396>>288879368that's nice fate-chan now put on the collar
>>288854358FPBP
>>288879691No, it's boring. Same shit with ""femdom"" where the tables get turned on the woman. It's tiresome and cringe. It's more interesting if the woman is ACTUALLY strong and in control.
>>288880786>pic unrelated
>>288880147Fate had absolutely no chance
Nanoha Exceeds? Exceeds what?
>>288881154Fate's sexual stamina.
>>288881154My expectations.
I have an extremely important question. In the original source material, Triangle Hearts or whatever it was, did she ever get lewded?
>>288881368Yes, moreso than in any other piece of Nanoha media. She was the innocently sexy fanservice loli.
>>288881368Yes
Is Nanoha a tomboy
>>288880147Everyone who gets befriended by Nanoha is like this.That said, doujin / joke comic stuff is obviously non-canon. Fate is strong-willed and has a strong body.
>>288881890That's not one of the official manga. Those are canon.
>>288881890Fate has a strong body too?
>>288861782You should watch CCS because it's fucking fantastic. If you want a taste of mahou shoujo to appreciate Nanoha's deviation from the genre, just watch 5 random episodes of Sailor Moon, Precure, and CCS.
Why is the art style so wildly different from the movies if this a sequel? I know it can change from designer to designer but like Nanoha and Hayate look so fucking generic. If not for the clothes I would not know it was them. Fate isn't affected by this since her look is mostly the same.
>>288882872I dunno what you mean honestly desu
>>288878113She hides her childhood trauma by smiling and overworking herself nearly to death.Well, at this point in this timeline, though, she seems to have been able to work things through.
>>288882872Yasuhiro Okuda (the first character designer) left a very long time ago, anon.Fujima Takuya (who drew ViVid) was art director for Reflection and Detonation. Higa Yukari drew Force.Kawakami Shuuichi aka Syu1 is the character designer this time around. He has been around for a very long time, having drawn the Innocent mangas and game and plenty of promotional art.The size of the eyes have gradually shrunk over the years everywhere, anyway, and not just in Nanoha
>>288881154Gun Blaze Vengeance, obviously.
>>288854358There are still lolis though?
>>288879691I don't remember this scene
>>288882386>>288861782>CCSAm I the only one who thought it was a little boring? I watched about 25 episodes before I felt like watching Nanoha Strikers instead and am enjoying it more. I'll probably go back to it at some point though.
>>288878362>No romance yuriPathetic
Here's the cast:Azusa Tachibana as Shiina KuzeRina Hidaka as Setsuna KuzeYukari Tamura as Nanoha TakamachiNana Mizuki as Fate T. HarlaownKana Ueda as Hayate YagamiAsaki Yuikawa as Towa YorumiChiharu as Shiori AizawaAika Kobayashi as Yuuna KitamoriAyasa Itō as Aoi NiinaHina Aoki as Yuzu KoderaYuna Ogata as Nanoha's Raising Heart deviceAkinari Sato as Fate's Bardiche deviceYukana as Rein Yagami
okay but where's subaru
>>288879524I miss her.
>>288884047>Yuna Ogata as Nanoha's Raising Heart device>Akinari Sato as Fate's Bardiche deviceIs there a reason they didn't bring back Donna Burke and Kevin J. England?
When will it be their time to shine?
>>288880905sauce on this?
So are they not in this? I still love Nanoha and fate but not as much as my wife Signum and my daughterwife Vita. I didn't read it but I thought they show up in the manga
>>288881760She is a very obvious case.
They're just good friends guys, like those drunk sluts in that other show.
>>288884047>>288884304So the Wolkenritter, Arf and Yuuno are not listed here, despite being formally part of the Exceeds organization, so they probably are just minor characters. I don't expect they to do not appear at all though, since they got designs.
Too bad Innocent didn't live long enough to get animated
>>288884881You should be gladThere is no way 7arcs would've made the manga justice
>>288854295>almost 130k views in two daysNot bad at all for something who's peak was 20 years ago. People want their mecha musume fanservice action show.If the industry wants to know what to do now that isekai is cooling off, magical girl shows aimed at guys would be a great place to start.
>>288884212LolLMAO
is it true that this is a new timeline and everything post A's is retconned>>288856884not the first time, they looked like Christmas cakes in StrikerS even though they were supposed to be 19
>>288885056Samefag here.I've always felt like that's been underexploited. It's clearly a huge market. The ratio of stuff that comes out vs. stuff that's successful is very high.
>>288885056Nanoha's popularity has nothing to do with magical girl shows. It's mainly because the Nanoha series has a relatively strong fan base. In comparison, Magic Knight Rayearth and Mahou no Shimai LuluttoLilly seem to be ignored.
>>288885303Nanoha gained popularity because it's cute sexualized girls firing laser beams at each other. At its peak in popularity, they ditched the loli niche.Symphogear was popular for similar reasons.MahoAko was popular because it's cute magical girls molesting each other with shonen elements.Of course, in all three cases, the shows are also good. The entertainment industry as a whole needs to learn to put hot girls and good writing together.>Magic Knight Rayearth and Mahou no Shimai LuluttoLillyGirls not sexualized enough.
Just finished the Detonation movie. Why did it take me this long to get into the series…Gonna watch the second season properly now
>>288885056>>288885133We already get enough magical girl stuff aimed at guys. I realize Nanoha is like that too but I feel like it's different than a lot of the other stuff we often get. There needs to be more magical girl stuff in the space in between Precure and something like MahoAka. Seems we only really get these days things aimed at very small children and things aimed at an older audience that wants torture porn or just plain porn. And I feel like this new series is going to focus too much on the non-magical girl stuff.
Imagine your job being to drive around bratty third graders all day. Life isn't a doujin so how would you keep from killing yourself?
>>288885447Princession Orchestra was their attempt at something in between like that and it was a horrible flop
>>288885447>or just plain pornWhen even was the last time we got a proper magical girl hentai?
>>288884304Because Strikers was bloated with characters and they don't want to make that mistake again.
>>288885378Nanoha's popularity stems from Nana Mizuki and Yukari Tamura, their breakout roles in the anime/manga series, and has little to do with the sexiness of the anime character designs.The Re:Zero series also features many sexy character designs, but its merchandise doesn't sell out as quickly as Nanoha's. I'm not sure if the difference in merchandise stock is the cause of the sales speed difference.
>>288885378>Nanoha gained popularity because it's cute sexualized girls firing laser beams at each other. At its peak in popularity, they ditched the loli niche.The sexualization of Nanoha comes from the merch, not the actual anime.
Nobody cares about Magic Knight Rayearth merchandise either.
>>288885504Exceeds is already bloated with characters from what we have seen from the manga and PV alone
>>288885483>Nanoha is popular because of a VA who nobody had heard of prior to NanohaNanoha was popular because people watched it, saw that it had lolis firing giant lasers, and told their otaku friends about it.
I spent 18 years wanting a new nanoha anime but what we got is annoying me so much I don't even know if I want to watch it.
>>288885563Yukari is legendary VA and Nana is great. I watched it specifically because Yukari is a main in it, I doubt I'm the only one.
>>288885589They are legendary because of Nanoha, not the other way around.
>>288885660Regarding Yukari, I consider Nanoha to be her launch point more or less, and Rika about a year later was when she really exploded.
>>288854295I hope that sakuga scene with Nanoha and Fate is not the opening because using opening scenes in promo videos is scummy and dishonest
>>288885504>have a franchise that's declining from too many characters>Decide to phase out the central, most popular characters, including the one whose name is in the title
>>288884456Drunk sluts do fuck each other after a night of drinking.
>>288885769She voiced one of the main heroines of (the all ages version of) Kanon. Key was a big deal in the early 2000s and Kanon was highly anticipated back then.
>>288854295Seconds later, pic related.
>>288873236
>>288885482Princession was still primarily aimed at children. They just knew they had a secondary audience of big friends due to the Symphogear connection and also played to them, and the show ended up being more popular with that older audience than their target audience.A magical girl anime actually being made "in between" Precure kids stuff and Madoka edgy dark stuff would be something along the lines of Kill La Kill or Flip Flappers.
/a/ doesn't want you to know this, but Strikers was actually really good, and Subaru was an amazing protagonist
Adult Nanoha is the best.
>>288886378Do big boobs fit her personality?
>>288886403Yes.
>>288886479How so?
>>288886403Honestly, yeah. Aside from being pure sex, adult Nanoha and Fate look like natural progressions of the characters.
>>288854295i watched this like five years agodo i event want to check this out, i remember nothing
>>288886352The first half was boring and pointless.The second half was great.You know that you're entering the good part of the show when you the second OP hits.
>>288886503How could Nanoha not be a bombshell?
>>288886569rewatch season 1 and decide for yourself
>>288886680She's equipped with ballistics for sure.
>>288886352I just finished rewatching it, but did they make the Numbers all get abortions to get rid of the Scaglietti clones?
>>288886680>doujin where Nanoha talks about having a big ass helps with long-range bombardment spells
>>288885504But they were in A's and that's the best anime.
>>288886715She looks unusually attractive here...
>>288886812I mean, the purpose of having an ass at all is to absorb shock impact.
>>288886569If that's all you watched then just watch 4 movies.Also unrelated to Exceeds timeline, watch Vivid Strike, it's magical MMA like Vivid but good.
>>288885482Princession was very much aimed at children, outside of some Symphogear references and comedic yuri bait.
>>288884881Does any of the game survive or does the continuity only exist in manga form now?
>>288884251Cyclone is the artist
>>288884647>So the Wolkenritter, Arf and Yuuno are not listed here, despite being formally part of the Exceeds organizationmaybe they are in the second part of the season. They usually only list characters that appears in the first 1-3 episodes in those things and that are in the trailer
>>288888028Mine
>>288889519Feito-chan...
>>288888028Force was okay
>>288886378O///O
>>288890079The adult Nanohas were hot as fuck. I have an adult woman fetish and they were all sexy, I liked them.
>>288885504I thought Strikers was fine, characters-wise. The old characters showing up on occasion to provide a grounded universe makes sense.
This fucking shit again. Btw exceeds prequel manga is in dex btw.
>>288867126nagashiro rouge
>>288884090The devices can speak "Japanese" now.Burke and England can't do so.Please understand.
>NanohaI know not even one poster in here is under 40.
>>288858127Unironically no. It’s 2000s-era “Girl’s Love” where nothing happens.
>>288890566Neither are Yukarin or Nana.
Yukarin should come out of the closet already
Do you think there will be a lot of blood and gore like in Force and the last movies?
>>288890566I'll have you know I'm in my 30s when I went to the revival screening of Detonation I was the youngest person in there
Where in the timeline is this new show? Do I have to watch all the vivids?
So, did they just regrow Nanoha's arm in the last movie, or is it a cybernetic replacement?
>>288884090>>288890493We'll get them back in the dub
>>288890674It's cybernetic, you can see her get a new arm at the end of the movie.She's become Raiden
>>288890644Since it's a TV series instead of a movie, probably not. It appears 7arcs is pulling all the stops out (I didn't check if they're animating it) because if they don't; it's possible their studio closes.>>288890079GOD these two were hot as fuck
>>288886403Nanoha is the kind of person to grow up into someone hot but never think of herself as attractive even while she has bigger boobs than every person around her. Fate is the opposite and is aware people are ogling her, most of which is her own adoptive son whom she teases about it during the movie commentary
>>288890887>It appears 7arcs is pulling all the stops out (I didn't check if they're animating it) because if they don't; it's possible their studio closes.At least all the episodes are already complete so they won't be pressed for time.
>>288890664>Where in the timeline is this new show?It's the gap between the end of A's and beginning of StrikerS, but watching the last two movies should be enough. Or just jumping straight into it since everything is pretty straight forward.
>>288890566is nanoha a boomer franchise???
>>288890576I wish all my other 2000s-era “Girl’s Love” stories also ended with the girls marrying and adopting a daughter together.
>>288890900I fully understand how Nanoha feels and if I was in her place all I would be able to think about is how much I want to ravage Fate's lewd body.
>>288890566Nanoha is just not as ubiquitous as it was in the late 00s. Disappointing as a zoomer in his early 30s
>>288883892Main quest yuri >highschool drama simulator
>>288890566I'm 38. I won't be 40 until the distant future (August 2027)
>>288890566I'm 32. Is this where I meet new people my own age? Nanoha movies?
>>288884090Noncanon
>>288860905lol.lmao.
>>2888908877arcs has been on life support for like a decade but Nanoha is literally the one thing they should still know how to do. If they fumble the transformation sequences and beamspam then just shutter the place.And yes, adult Nanoha/Fate designs were peak. They accidentally created the perfect married office lady magical girls and then spent years pretending that wasn't the whole appeal.
>>288890566I am below 40 and Nano was older than me when I watched her first season.You realize how much of a blessing it was when I was a kid to watch her anime and see her pantsu?
Speaking of cyborgsI miss the Lezbot, who is now trapped in purgatory with the rest of the Adult Nanoha designs.>>288886680Yes, like this one. Tacticool Nanoha is the thing they should have leaned on when they started taking things from Force, but instead they moved in the opposite direction and made them idols. They have now moved back to being tacticool in Exceeds
Oh right and all the other lezbots too, and their skintight form-fitting bodysuits made to hug their cameltoes and nipples, made specifically by their father.
>>288893143Numbers uniform has actually become a tag
>>288893143>Made specifically by their father.I mean, he literally impregnated all of them. He intended them to be daughterwives from the start.
>>288886680>>288891370You must develop some kind of complex when your friend is this sex machine and it's a close race on which one is the hottest girl in the universe.
>no yukarin ed>no pantsu>no vivio>no gachi yurigive me something to work here, bushiroad...
>>288893159Spaghetti was literally /our guy/
Also props to the guy for not just making a clone of himself, but a genderbent clone of himself that he also impregnated.
>>288858272>>288866490And the curious thing is that the same smell helps them relax.
>>288887933>>288880905goddamn, I know what I'm reading tonight
>>288893581She released so many of those too.
>>288885378The curious thing about these anime is that the reason for their popularity is due to the fact that their characters minimize interactions with the opposite sex, or simply do not have them, as is the case of Mahoako, where boys do not exist in its world from the beginning.
One of the three (Nanoha, Fate, or Hayate) should have stayed flat as an adult. I think it fits Fate the most.
>>288894128Why do you think that?
>>288890576Kannazuki no miko and Strawberry Panic are from the 2000s-era
>>288890966Nanoha and Fate aren't married. They're best friends that raise a daughter together. Think on Three Men and a Baby or Full House
>>288893159>impregnated all of them>with himselfspaghetti was thinking on a different dimension
>>288894737Don't assume your burger logic about your atrocious sitcom (or whatever that three men is, which you always bring up) apply to Japanese culture, or is in any way is a valid justification for your internalized homophobia.
>>288894049> the reason for their popularity is due to the fact that their characters minimize interactions with the opposite sex,Anon Triangle Hearts is a Eroge and Nanoha is a minor character from it who got a spinoff where she fucks Chrono. The Yuri Ecchi focus came way later and really wasn't solidified as a thing until StrikerS. A's had Nanoha interacting with all sorts of boys, what made her romance pure was that despite being surrounded by tons of boys her age that were all clearly interested in her, she still chose Fate. The romance is better because the two chose each other in a sea of options, not because of prison gay.
>>288894934I don't really think she had a sea of options if you count boys. Chrono knocked up Amy when he still looked like a child, Amy should be in jail for that, but I guess in a world where you can send children to war this is no issue. Yuuno is a mascot character with a human form that is rendered obsolete by putting glasses on Fate, and I don't think you will count Zafira, another literal animal, or Kyoya to valid options either.
>>288895130Age barely means anything in Nanoha, maybe if you're a literal baby, but by 3 or 4 everyone has the same level of fighting competence, intelligence, and emotional maturity
>>288895130NTA but Chrono had a crush on Nanoha in S1. Also Chrono fucks Nanoha in the eroge, He was intended to be Nanoha's Syaoran. The eroge still followed some shoujo conventions despite being aimed to male otakus, just like S1, but eventually the franchise moved to purityfags so Chrono married Amy to keep Nanoha pure
>>288894242not that anon, but Fate is the most athletic. being lither fits her fighting style. otoh Signum is huge too.
>>288895283>Also Chrono fucks Nanoha in the eroge, He was intended to be Nanoha's SyaoranYeah, he evidently was Nanoha's Syaoran in the Lyrical Toy Box pilot, but in the proper season 1 his role of rival/love interest got taken by Fate instead, who wasn't even in the pilot, and Chrono was relegated to be a secondary character. Tsuzuki's intention were obvious from the start.
>>288894934>A's had Nanoha interacting with all sorts of boys, what made her romance pure was that despite being surrounded by tons of boys her age that were all clearly interested in her,there were two and only 1 was clearly interested in her
>>288895369Interesting. So why do big boobs fit Nanoha and Hayate? How about the pink loli in StrikerS who summons monsters or something?
>>288867932>This is why mahou shoujo is deadGood fucking riddance. Tried watching princess tutu together with my die hard Nanohafag gf and dropped it together after few episodes with the power of a thousand suns.
>>288895369Nanoha is a ninja
>>288895488>die hard Nanohafag gfShe's probably a tranny
>>288895369>not that anon, but Fate is the most athletic. That's also why Sonic Form is just her ripping off all of her clothes
>>288895605No, she's not
>>288895681Sonic form is so fucking hot.
Fate seems a lot more passionate and romantic than Nanoha. She would be clingy, dependent, deeply romantic, and be traumatized if you left her. Nanoha is so light-hearted and breezy that she's almost incapable of deep emotion. She wouldn't be clingy, or romantic, or shattered if you left her.
>>288895488>stop liking what I don't likeYou could just not watch them instead of wishing they didn't exist.
>>288895697fat?
>>288895985That's really hot. We need menhera dynamics
>>288895985I think it'd be the other way around.>mfw Nanoha casts Starlight Break-up on me
>>288894745Even the genderbent clone which means that one was all sorts of messed up inbreeding
>>288895488>my die hard Nanohafag gfGod I wish I had a die hard Nanohafag friend
>>288895985Nanoha is explicitly shown to be clingy and dependent.
>>288896443When?
>>288895373I don't know about Tsuzuki's intentions but when Nanoha is paired with a boy, they fuck but when Nanoha is paired with a girl, they remain best friends
>>288896615You should directly contact Seven Arcs then, and tell them to make you the writer, so you can make Nanoha straight.
>>288896523The sound stages and vivid
>>288896040Yes
>>288896873Fair enough. Still nice to have a gf you can watch stuff like Nanoha with.
Seeing this thread gave me nostalgia and made me rewatch this scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo-lZSp4oog
>>288895985Why would I leave the perfect woman?
Can't wait for the next Erio + Fate commentary where he desperately tries to hide his boners for his adoptive mother.
>>288896615>I don't know about Tsuzuki's intentionsI think Tsuzuki just wants money at this point. He must have made 30 Eroges in his time and Nanoha is the only thing that took off, so he's very, very cautious to not disrupt any balancing act. It's not like Wanko has multi-decade spanning seasons and a rabid fanbase even if Mikan is cute.
>>288897033What do you like about Fate?
I will respect and kneel to 7arcs if the series still somehow tie into strikers
>>288897108I miss Jail Spaghetti. He's a cool villain.
I can't imagine how shippers in Nanoha are going to rationalize Subaru waking Teana up by straddling her and playing with her breasts in Strikers if they get to it.
>>288897180just girls fooling around with each other
>>288897128I feel they should have made him + the numbers reoccurring villains for the latter half of the franchise. Someone who is using the institutional power of the TSAB to stay one step ahead while he makes all of these crazy plans for world domination. Every attempt they have tried to do to make more Villains is just 'Let's make Jail again but give him cuter daughters' and it doesn't work because none of them are the kind of super-mad scientists that he was. They should have just had much of everything be Jail's doing like what was hinted at him helping Precia out with the artificial mage experiments.
>>288897234Yeah they fool around for sure.
>>288897249I was trying to explain something about the characters to a friend recently and realized that every other character in Vivid is only there because of Spaghetti.
>>288897313Spaghetti is truly the best dad.Nove is a bioweapon too, she just isn't as good as Subaru and I think she gets defeated in like, 10 seconds. Also she has a cute not-adopted daughter.
>>288897313By that point Vivio was already adopted by Fate as well. Also neither Erio nor Caro are legally adopted by Fate as far as we know, Erio was adopted by Lindy, but both of them see Fate as a mother figure, and Vivio sees them as her siblings.
>>288897556>Nove is a bioweapon tooYeah, I realized that like 10 seconds after I initially sent that image. Spaghetti giving his combat cyborg daughterwives the ability to reproduce was nice of him.
>>288897051Imagine the ss
Dumb useless pink knight
>>288898275I remember when she jobbed to the new villain's zanpakutou release in Force and everyone lost their minds.
>>288898331It was overblown, it happens to everyone in this franchise.
>>288883720Which ones?
Bad ending
>>288898275made for kidnapping/ryona
>>288898406Made for healthy rivalry with Fate-san and being a respected mentor figure
https://exhentai.org/g/3976862/9ad566fab9/still the best in recent years
>>288854295sex
>>288865704There was a doujin where Nove fucked her (or her Nove) when they got drunk. I don't recall if it got translated.
why did they age them up? are the writers gay or something?
>>2889004972007 is the year there was a major decline in lolicon series after some laws were passed September 2006. Lolicon anime was grandfathered in for Fall 2006 and Winter 2007, but not for Spring 2007 anime like StrikerS. Even 2010s "lolicon" anime like Ro-Kyu-Bu were pale imitators of 2000s series.
>>288898555If you talk recent wouldn't that be the loli femdom psycho Nanoha one?
>>288900665God I love that one. I want her to destroy all of my achievements in life and then turn me into her boytoy forever.
>>288898555I like that one where Fate marries (you) and they have threesomes with Nanoha. Great art
>>288861754I miss Badass Manly Anime Reviewer
>>288900497One day these mistakes will be reversed.
>>28889056633 IS STILL YOUNG DAMN IT
>>288901534https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbaZAAZaGt8
>>288901534Well, yes. It literally is. Enjoy your original hair color, attractive face, good health, and general lack of age-related problems like dementia, cancer, Parkinsons etc turning your life into a tragedy.
>>288890566How many are over 50 like me?
>>288902076Levi is so effortlessly erotic
>>288902400If Exceeds is a sequel to Detonation means my wife Levi will appear?
>>288902459I doubt it. I don't even think Fate is getting more than a glorified cameo.
No loliNo buy
>>288902076Bless your presence, old man.
>>288902746fate gets a pretty decent amount of screen time in the manga, its just that the beginning is very nanoha heavy
>>288903082The manga is a prequel, chances are both Nanoha and Fate's role in the story are already over and they are back to being extras by the time the anime plot starts.
>>288900497I like lolis as much as the next guy, but I've always liked that the characters where allowed to age as the franchise went forward
>>288903216A shame the franchise is not allowed to move forward anymore
>>288903216It would be better if the franchise had a more concrete linear progression. They keep bouncing back and forth and even among parts of the franchise supposedly in the same timeline, it's not always clear how one series really connects to the other. Much less the franchise having multiple timelines.
Is this really what girls do at the bathhouse?
>>288903555Get assaulted by old women? Yes
>>288902746FFM with Fate and Levi rn
>>288900497Au contraire, they're the most straightest and most heterosexual of men.
>>288903816With Fate as the man.
>>288903441It feels like after the second season is blowing up the most dangerous superweapon in the multiverse that progressing them forward with the natural expectation that the characters get stronger ended up too much of a handicap so with the movies giving an excuse to continue an alt-continuity the writing could pull back on the level of relative power the main cast is expected to have.Though we still haven't seen Nanoha's injury that was established way back in StrikerS yet, have we?
>>288904853Except they are already stronger by the end of Reflection than they were in the main timeline.And Nanoha's injury obviously got retconned into her losing an arm.
