After almost 10 years, Nanoha is back on TV.
>not a single post of the new charactersvery telling
The girlfriends will meet this week.
>>4578389We had a permanent Nanoha thread until not too long ago, it's good that Exceeds is bringing attention back to Nanoha.
>>4578424>>4578428There is usually fan art without real context, as long as there is interest in the characters, that's what happened for example with Precure before even debuting Arcana Shadow and Eclair, even the art that is currently being made before the revelation, will be basically obsolete after its time.
>>4578457What?
>>4578463artists see cute girl and draw cute girl even though they know nothing about cute girl
>>4578463He feels vindicated that he can indulge his headcanon of people not liking the new characters.
>>4578463Ignore rambling ESL posts.
>>4578463>>4578464>>artists see cute girl and draw cute girl even though they know nothing about cute girlBasically that, it even applies to couples; in early art you see invented dynamics that are lucky if they actually correspond to the real dynamic of the characters.
>>4578465>>4578466
>>4578536
They are fastprobably the fastes couple of the franchise
Sisfist the firse meet, Nanofate take two movies forthe same
>>4580021Already saw each other naked too
I was surprised that Towa was the leader of the vigilante group, I figured it would be the spider girl since she's the oldest and exudes strong oneechan vibes.
>>4581172I dig the idea of the Towa's character but her also being the leader of that gang instead of a lone wolf that will get befriended feels off to me. Does the show have the guts to kill off the gang for drama??
>>4582021These people are victims of the circumstances of the true antagonists, so it makes sense. It also feels like it's reviving the concept that Force proposed and failed miserably to implement, since Towa's group and our (true) MC are infected with the same thing.I doubt they'll die, considering how few antagonists have died throughout the series.
>>4582026It makes sense on paper, I just dont dig it.If these characters aren't gonna get sacrificed for drama then they're just bloat. And speaking of extra characters, promos still including Setsuna is pretty funny
>>4582042Maybe Shiina will give birth to Setsuna at the end after she saves the world and no longer needs her powers, and she and Towa can raise Setsuna as a gay couple.
>>4582042What marks them as sacrifice is Towa's Gluttony. She can consume other diaboli and get their powers. I can see them dying and offering thier lives and powers to Towa so they can live on inside her and power her up to take on the obvious Mana fused with progenitor invader final boss
>>4582045but FIRST we'll hbave to learn the tragic backstory of who she ate to gain her current ice powers
>https://x.com/exgv_official/status/2080595901261955109Shina x Towa side story posted on official twitter>They kept in touch and went out for food again>They're both busy but dont know what each other does yet>Shinna says being with her feels calmingThere's also commentary from Nanoha and Fate on Shina but we dont care about that right, it's not like the show is called Nanoha or anything
>>4582098They've definitely not forgotten the importance of shipping, and this good+"bad" girl pair is obviously trying to reproduce the NanoFate magic, but it's like they're actively avoiding doing anything at all with the latters for some reason, the unnatural abstinence has kept going since the latest movies.I get that they want to focus on the new girls, but come fucking on, it's one of the most popular pairs of all time and they've pushed them lots even 20 years ago, can't they spare a scene or two for some lighthearted flirting or a double date or something?Why even bring them back if they're going to ignore all they've built around them?They got 12 episodes this time, and I bet they'll do filler stuff like a beach trip and so on, we'll see if they can at least pull the bare minimum.
>Episode aired>Not one(1) reply here or in the GeneralWell....not the most exicting episode but Towa and her friends are giving off the Hayate and her gang vibes.The brief preview for the next episode sounds like the Nanoha ran into Towa so maybe the plot can actually move along now
>>4582631The problem with those girls it's that they aren't a very old group like the Wolkenritter so we don't even have fanon dynamics like the Signum/Shamal one, also some people said that the death step-parents of Towa looked like the main het couple from Force so I guess that's their way to tell us that Force burned, died and now is buried for good.
>>4582634>>some people said that the death step-parents of Towa looked like the main het couple from Force so I guess that's their way to tell us that Force burned, died and now is buried for good.Frankly, that just makes me wish this would happen in the main timeline and not this alternate continuity nonsense. This series would really work better with adult girls. Every time I see Nanoha and Fate, they don't feel like important people in a unit, but like little girls cosplaying as important officers.
Is obvious this should had been a story apart from Nanoha,, Nanofate are here for compromised
>>4582634I meant the idea is the same. The groupies all love their leader for *reasons*
>>4582634I see the Thoma resemblance, but I'm not seeing the mom's resemblance to Lily.
>>4583135Yeah, seems like a reachLike how many people would even care enough to see it
>bad guys want Towa aliveplease let them do this by killing off her gang and we can get angsty/sad moments with shina comforting towa
Nanoha got Towa to do her dirty work for her but Shiina got stripped and humiliated by a loli whose only power is to open doors. Hope the clothing damage thing comes back and Towa comes across a half-naked Shiina.
You two just fuck each other already...
>>4587686If they are already like this on episode 6, they will be scissoring while holding hands by the 12th
>>4587686Does Shiina want the claw hand or the regular hand inside of her?
>>4587711She's a big girl, she can take both.
They progresd quickly than Nanofate, ia this zoomer power?
>>4587720Believe in the power of yuri.
>>4587686Are you watching a stream or some shit?
>>4587720It's the power of everything happening off screen in this anime, apparently few months passed since they became friends.
>>4587720>>4587686Reminder two police officers and more than a dozen civilians died because these two, unaware of each other's abilities, tried to get each other to run first instead of immediately powering up and confronting the enemy
AlsoIt sounds like Towa wants to kill Shinna next episode before she combusts
Two otherwise confident young women unable to confess their feelings to the person they owe their lives to....meanwhile their normally stoic and cold savior is getting swept off her feet by some gigastacy they dont even knowThis has so much potential that will simply not be explored in the show itself. I hope someone somewhere takes it further in fanworks.
>>4587833Towa will kill herself after finishing her revenge.
>>4588073thats just nonconsensual lovers suicide
>>4588090>>4588073It won't happen because this is a Nanoha spinoff. Doujin maybe.
Nanoha has the prettiest gf. That one Nanoha portrait on the website was made for Fate-chan.
>>4588116hope the show can even get doujinsand then scannedand then picked up by translators
>>4587802The zero onscreen fights against the progenitor monsters was jarring>>4587842So this time we have like 3 Yayas?
>>4588489>3 Yayas?4
>>4588515the tech nerd and the big sis seem prett y chill about towaits the other two that want to bang her
>heart-shaped charm makes Shiina freak outCute. Too bad the cat died, though. Might be the first case of yuri directly resulting in deaths.
>>4588899Actually really dig their dynamic, on paperShina is bold and confident but surprisingly shy about things like thisWhile Towa seems quiet and reserved on the outside but clearly much more honest with her feelings when she wants something......now if only the show actually did them justice
>>4588899Both should had been in an different serieI sure Nanoha actually drag this serie popularity
>>4588906>.now if only the show actually did them justiceI'm so tired of the show just narrative entire scenes and conversations at us instead of showing us their dynamic
>>4588915I still insist, this should be placed in the regular timeline and not this alternate timeline nonsense, so the old cast could be genuine mentor figures and not the extended and glorified cameo they are now.>>4588921To be fair, that's what Nanoha has been doing from the beginning and many refuse to accept it. Season 1 and Season 2 weren't that different in that sense; people only focus on the final action-packed part and not the earlier episodes of dialogue and exposition.
>>4588922At the very least Exceeds/GBV should be "gaiden" canon and fit in both timelines when needed.Also think Shiina sticking around TSAB long enough to teach Teana, however briefly, would be a good way to acknowledge their similarities.
In a better paced story, this would have been a moment of unbearable betrayal. Where love turns to despair, where dreams of happiness are snatched away by the cruel hands of fateHere it's kind like........eh, I guess
>>4590215Need 24 episodes budget and spend 12 episodes on ShiiTowa.
Symphogear G did it better but that's because they already spent 1 cour on HibiMiku.
>>4590225Miku got brainwashed though.Also Evil Miku had a good track too.
>>4590215It's so weird how the anime went out of it's way to make them not fight each other before thisIf that fight followed by a truce was between shiina and towa this unmasking moment would have hit so much harderThere's the bones of a very good story and ship here but the anime doesn't know how to properly utilize the little time and budget it has
>>4590232they have no reason to be mad at the reveal at allthe slayers havent done anything wrong and shina knows towa is being framedso where is the conflict even coming from?
>>4590232To be fair, the fact that they hit it off ridiculously fast doesn't mean they actually know each other very well. It's not like they've been seeing each other for very long, so like the other Anon said, there's no reason for any conflict between them.Considering how (let's not kid ourselves) bad the last movies in this silly new continuity were, this season is a masterpiece in comparison. There, it felt like wasted potential for Nanoha; here, it feels like wasted potential for being part of Nanoha. Actually, that last part speaks better of this series than the movies; it holds up better.
could have been romeo & Juliet but yuri
>>4590233Remember the whole "Is afraid the flame Diaboli (who she now knows is her gf) could lose control of her powers and kill everyone" Towa's been on about?
>>4590236Honestly, I can't help but wonder if someone at the studio had an idea for an original show about a girl who fights monsters with magical powers and got told that no one watches original shows anymore but Nanoha needs some fresh blood so they'll just staple the script to a new Nanoha season. If anything, I'm glad that NanoFate get so little screentime because I quite like Shiina and the Chuuni Squad, but it really does feel like wasted potential for being shoehorned into the Nanohaverse. Anyway, it seems ridiculous to own a van when the loli can just teleport them anywhere.
>>4591464I don't see any wasted potential, it is such a generic idea it could just as easily been an original or a Extreme Hearts sequel. It being part of the Nanoha franchise doesn't really change anything.
Emotionally vulnerable Towa was nice but that was about it....
>>4593272Lesbian always gets jealous.
>>4593275i actually love "betrayal" moments like this I just wish it was set up better. more time spent together, a better lie to get them fighting, etc
Should have stayed home with her loyal harem.
>>4593272>>4593275Most black haired lesbians are emotionally vulnerable imo.
>>4593508>ManosabaSince anon in the games thread are being autistic, I'll ask here: Should I wait for the official translation or can I read with the existing patch?
>>4593546Just install the patch if you don't want to wait.
>>4593508Update
>>4593508Because dark hair is the cool, moody oneAnd the lighter hair is the energetic, happier oneSo it's only natural that the rule of character development has the darker hair goes psycho first, sometimes willingly
>>4593508>>4593624>>4593626The crimson rose and candy girl archetype strikes again
Towa...
>>4596533The serie could had been our new Symphogear but instead it will be a forgotten story of Nanoha
>>4596542>no enough action scenes>no enough yuri scenes>flashbacks everywhereWell at least we have ShiiTowa.
>>4596544>ShiiTowa.We literally have like no organic fanart of these two anon.....
>>4596546They definitely seem less popular than Fuuka and Rinne were but this season is not getting any fanart in general.
>>4596547i found more fanart of these two than shina and towa
>>4596533Towa should have been even more menhera
>>4593624>several girls that aren't even confirmed to be lesbianslmao
>>4596646What are you doing in the thread of "superfriends: the franchise" if you need solid confirmation?
>>4596646>implying Nanoha is not yuri anime
>>4596652It's not.
>>4596662>>4596652It's an anime with lesbians and Yuri, not a Yuri anime. In the west, Yuri is usually known as a subset of the romance genre.
>>4596666>>4596662Again. Why the fuck did you come here instead of the general?
>>4596666
>almost 0 ShiiTowa fanartI begin to wonder if EXGV‘s really airing in Japan.
>>4597416I dug up my pixiv login just for you and was able to find this.But yeah, I am baffled by the complete indifference this show is getting. Little or no activity here on /u/, the weekly thread on /a/ (the only reason I even click on /a/ these days) struggles to hit limit, and absolutely no fanart on twitter and pixiv. Like the Nanoha name itself has got to at least carry.....a little bit more fanfare than this right, this is so weird.
>>4597436I think people have moved on over the years. And the show fails to recapture audiences lost. New audiences see the ties to franchise and don't even bother. Gacha games carry further popularity so the typical kind who make fanart of whatever they see as popular are busy drawing gacha fanartIt's been 22 years since S1. In general, it seems classic franchises older than the 2010s which try to return with remakes or new entries struggle to find new audiences to make fanart and stuff unless it's ultra big names like GiTS or Dragon Quest
>>4597438Yea but yuri fans are no strangers to being niche and obscure. So the fact that literally nobody is drawing these two (or even much new NanoFate) is just so wild. In fact, I'm not even seeing much AI slop for this show. Just complete indifference from all demographics of the fandom.
>>4597416>>4597436Most artists these days only draw in order to chase the hottest trend, which is usually some vtuber or gacha game.Nanoha as a franchise didn't know how to keep staying power over the years. With all the spinoffs that sidelined Nanoha, yet another show where Nanoha barely appears is not what the franchise needed. A lot of fans had already lost interest a long time ago, and Exceeds offered nothing to make them come back.
>>4597436The problem is that any fanfare the series could generate is trapped in the already established couple, which did have art, with the new uniforms and that's really all. The new couple is being unfairly overshadowed, something that didn't happen as much in Vivid Strike and maybe that's why they didn't appear in that series, just NTR jokes at Vivio's expense.>>4597438The bad decisions with Nanoha started when these people tried to continue things with two manga series, which is bad for a franchise associated with anime. Focusing on a series that fell even faster (Dog Days) and ignoring that sticking to the continuity is what has done the series the most, in complete contrast to this terrible new continuity, is like Digimon Adventure: (2020) or those silly Power Rangers projects only focused on MM. It sounds nice for nostalgia, but it doesn't attract fans who are fed up with those series and are really looking for something good.
>>4597445This series would be better if it followed the same continuity as always; it would be the perfect opportunity to have Subaru and Teana with mentor figures. It would make more sense for everything, especially with a new generation, not the one where the veterans are younger and everything makes less sense.
>>4597445I follow an "unpopular" gacha game and it still gets regular art even for some of its most obscure low rarity characters.These ideas people have been tossing out all make sense for why the new show is unpopular but I just dont think they quite explain why Shina and Towa have basically ZERO(0) art.
>>4597449That would require rebooting FORCE or actually removing it from canon. That was the first problem: FORCE and refusing to accept it's failure. They should've replaced it with something else but they didn't and here we are with the movie AU shit
>>4597456That's something these people need to admit and accept once and for all. FORCE was a monumental failure, and only hentai rape artists give a shit about it. The rest of the normal people don't want to know anything about it and its terrible antagonists. You can say whatever you want about EXGV, but it's not a piece of shit like FORCE.
>>4597416>>4597416>>4597438Rather than people not caring, I think this season is just THAT bad. Before it aired there was a decent amount of buzz online and people were drawing nanofate in the new uniforms, most new art is from that period, which tell me there was an audience for it. Then the first episode came out and the response was universally lukewarm and passive agressive at best. Everyone looking forward to more nanofate was disappointed. Everyone looking forward to a continuation of Nanoha's story was disappointed. Everyone looking forward to more of the movie continuity was disappointed. Everyone looking forward to more magical girls is disappointed. Everyone looking forward to more yuri has better things to watch this season. Everyone looking forward to more edgy action has better things to watch this season. Everyone looking forward to more edgy yuri action has better things to watch this season.You can't have fanart if there are no fans.
>>4597495That number still shouldnt be 0.The person that drew this picture also drew Shina and Towa........separately, why?
>>4597496The number is not zero, it is getting way better numbers than a series of this quality deserves. The thing is, most fanart is of individual characters or tasteless het porn. You only get shipping fanart if the fans give a shit about the ship. >The person that drew this picture also drew Shina and Towa........separately, why?According to them, they only really care about nanofate. The Shina and Towa doodles are there because they like the general character design.
>>4597533we're talking about shina and towa herethey have basically nothing
>>4597535Understandably so, they have zero chemistry. Most of their relationship is offscreen. They may get more fanart if they do something together in the finale but so far there is no reason to ship them.
>>4597543Yes, but NanoFate in this series (or this entire alternate timeline) doesn't have good chemistry either. The two movies only had one forced scene at the end, and even the recap movies felt rushed. So this version of the couple doesn't deserve any more attention than sharing elements with the original timeline, which has great chemistry and a daughter. So I don't see much real difference between the couples.
>>4597567And that's the thing. Your autistic separation of both versions of NanoFate is not shared globally. Most people are still attached to NanoFate because of the old shows and just see this as more of them, so they keep drawing a pairing they already liked instead of a pairing they can't bring themselves to care about
>>4597567Even if you choose to ignore all the history they have as a couple and their impact on the genre, their one scene together is cuter than anything Shina and Towa got.
Shiina and Towa's first meeting was cute, but then instead of showing anything of their relationship the anime decided to just narrate things at usThere's just nothing, not even a generic dynamic, to latch on to
>>4597569>>4597574So what people are doing here is simply using a cosplay version of the OG couple, pretending that they are the versions from the new timeline, when in reality they don't give a shit about this new timeline.At the end of the day, the characters from the original timeline and those from this timeline, even having the same face and name, are completely different characters, like the foolish people who read the Power Rangers comics from Boom Studios, who haven't realized that the TV series and the comic are completely different continuities and still pretend that the comic "fills in the gaps" when it is something completely different.
>>4597543But that's what I'm fucking sayingYuri fans have shipped for lessThis is a main couple in a storied franchise and they've been pretty touchy with each other.Zero fanart is surreal. This would be something you'd expect from a deliberate boycott.
>>4597657>Yuri fans have shipped for lessNot really, as much as people meme about shippers pairing characters for no rhyme or reason, even subtext and crack ships have characters with some sort of dynamic the audience finds appealing or interesting. Shina and Towa have nothing.
>>4597730>Shina and Towa have nothing.>nothingyou see this pic? >>4597657
>>4597730They have a hell of a lot more than other memed pairs like Signum x Shamal and Hayate x Vivio
>>4597731All I see is empty set up for a pointless fight that did not paid off. >>4597732Signum and Shamal spend a good chunk of the universally agreed best season being Hayate's moms.Hayate and Vivio have their connection to Nanoha adding a degree of comedy and the fact they are relics of a lost civilisation. Shina and Towa we are told are good friends.
I like shipping the gate loli and the lockpick loli together. But I'm weak against characters voiced by Itou Ayasa.
>>4597734>Hayate and Vivio have their connection to Nanoha adding a degree of comedy and the fact they are relics of a lost civilisation.When have they ever interacted?Even the two dates we got for Shina and Towa have more basis.
>>4597743That couple only reinforces this Anon's notion: >>4597657The only real basis for the pairing is that it's basically a mix between Meme and Discard with Hayate. This was born before Ein and the Vivid manga appeared and made it clear what Vivio's real romantic interest was. People can pretend with Vita with Hayate, even Signum and Shamal, but nobody really takes any of those pairings seriously.>>4597495>Everyone looking forward to a continuation of Nanoha's story was disappointed. Which is funny to say, since Nanoha's story, and even Fate's, ended with Season 1, since A's is Hayate's story and her knights, even Chrono, NanoFate are guests there too, so that they aren't really important isn't something new, the most memorable thing they did was have "rivalries" and the characteristic power up, but they weren't the main characters.The real characterization and consolidation of Nanoha as a series was in StrikerS, don't pretend now that a's is super important, it's literally the one with the most art and doujins, because A's' own time is ignored in favor of the girls in high school, using the last seconds of A's.
Hayate/Vivo was born of a time where there was less anime out in a given season and gacha didn't exist. So people used them for their onee-loli and age gap yuri fetishes. Now people have more to pick from if they just want to draw a fetish and the characters are irrelevant as long as they fit the fetish. More shows, gacha shit being the popular choice if you just don't care and want to draw some characters for your fetish. I doubt something like Hayate/Vivo would be born in modern times
>>4597748>the season were we actually get to see nanofate being best friends is somehow not super importantThe most pathetic thing to come out of EXCEEDS has to be all the retards trying to pretend A's was never good and Force was good actually.
So are Nanoha and Fate officially hags now?
>>4597751They were in the old timeline but in the new timeline EXCEEDS follows they're HS age.
>>4597750She wasn't saying that you illiterate. She was saying that Nanoha and Fate took a backseat to Hayate's development (the former moreso since the latter at least got her dream sequence).Complaining about Nanoha not being the focus when the franchise has ALWAYS been more about her being the one to help other people with their personal arcs is fucking retarded.
>>4597750>>all the retards trying to pretend A's was never good I don't know about the others, but it's more of a personal opinion. I wasn't interested in A's back then, and even less so now. The movie did nothing to remedy that in the slightest. I was more interested in StrikerS and seeing the characters older. Watching EXCEEDS makes me realize that all that military bureaucracy doesn't work or look good with young girls, which makes the decision to make StrikerS make more sense.>> Force was good actually.I keep insisting, and I can swear, that since 2 or 3 hentai authors think that, the rest of the people don't give a shit about that manga and its characters.>>4597764Is this really true? I don't mean this as a bad person, but while in StrikerS Nanoha had the excuse of being the mentor figure of one of the new teams, and in Vivid she was the mother of a new generation (in Vivid Strike, the mother of a loser off-screen), in A's there isn't much beyond her first defeat against the "new" system and now being part of the team. I understand wanting to think it's her story of helping others, but Chrono was the one half the plot focused on, since the book was linked to his father's death and also to the evil man who gave the book to Hayate. In addition, this being was close to him, not to mention the catgirls in microskirts who ended up being the final boss's henchmen to push the Reinforce thing. The rivalry between Nanoha and Vita itself disappeared, and the one between Fate and Signum is barely relevant either.My complaint is that Nanoha has always had the problem of not giving enough importance to Nanoha itself; it's not something new, but having them young in EXCEEDS hasn't solved that, because apparently being adults was the problem in StrikerS, but it's clear that these people don't want to make more Nanoha.
>>4597752Ah, so no Vivio. Gay. And not the fun kind of gay.
>>4597771>Ah, so no Vivio. Gay. And not the fun kind of gay.Yes, that's the problem, seeing Nanoha and Fate in the same old courtship that should have been left behind is unsatisfying, I can swear that Innocent does it a little better, there's still Vivio there.
jfc this is going in circlesNobody disputes that the new anime sucksBut 0 fanart for Shina and her wife just feels surreal
>>4597792Because you aren't going to get an answer from people who don't know japanese and don't hang in jap discussions. Just the same guesses. You can keep insisting but no one is going to be able to give you an answer you like. Maybe not even the nips themselves. Just accept you'll never have an answer and move on instead of trying to bring up the point and denying all the guesses people have made as invalid,
>>4597797its less of a quest for answer and more of an utter disbelief at the situation these two are in
>>4597948And you have already made your point. Any more repetition or replying to people with "buts" and complaining about going in circles when you keep insisting is just annoyingYou can let it die now
>>4597416>>4597440>>4597948I noticed this other day too. There's a real lack of art for this show in general. Compare to Reflection (which let's not kid ourselves, is much better and actually feels like Nanoha) where Amitie got way more art after that movie aired than Shiina has so far. Towa has even less and has barely more than Shiina's little sister who dies in the first episode. Yuri content for this is almost nil. According to one Japanese website, this show gets average ratings so it apparently isn't hated, and Shiina and Towa both get plenty of screen time, including with each other. I guess chalk it up to the world being different these days.
>>4597959Amitia already had way more art than Shiina before the movie aired because she existed for like half a decade at that point. Both Gears and Innocent are well liked in japan and their characters appeared in a bunch of stuff. It is not the same.
>>4597959>>4597960The same goes for the Materials. They were super popular from the release of the first game when they were nothing more than evil versions with a different color palette and didn't even have real names. The second game gave them an identity, and the movies were made to benefit the characters from the games who already had fan recognition. But the movies are the same in that they have even less Nanoha and are the story of the sisters with the Materials as bonuses, nothing more than that.If you want to make a real comparison, Vivid Strike is a better example.
>>4598010>Vivid Strike is a better exampleI'd argue it is a bad comparison because Vivid Strike is actually good. Fuuka and Rinne are likeable leads, their relationship is the core of the plot and the legacy character are well integrated into their story, all making their innebitabe confrontation have some gravitas behind it. No wonder they are still getting art, they naturally are going to have more fans.
>big final raid episode>still no sign of the Wolkenritter outside of unvoiced stills narrated by ShiinaWere they unable to get their seiyuus?
>>4598923Let's be frank, the main trio must already be expensive, especially Nana Mizuki, and it's probably there, and in the music, where the investment will be recouped if this fails. What's really funny is that the ferret kid was supposed to be part of this new squad too, according to a pretty early trailer, considering he doesn't even appear or get mentioned. This project had a lot of worries, and they rightly cut one of the reasons why StrikerS isn't bad.
>>4598927>ferret kid He only appears in the manga.
>>4598927Someone mentioned it in /a/ but his skillset completely trivializes the diavoli. He and Arf probably got written out of the story because there would be no plot with them in the team.>>4598937>posting males on /u/
>>4598958Yuuno is pretty much a girl.
>>4598961If you want to post guys and talk about guys I think /a/ should be more your way than /u/.
>>4598923they don't need themall these enemies are weaklings compared to nanoha, she could have probably done all the stuff they've been doing so far in a day if she wanted tothey basically have been hiding nanoha and fate to keep a little bit of suspense in the story
Kind hate myself for getting attached to Shina and Towa as a couple before the anime
>>4599122To be fair, many couples go through the same thing (not just yuri). Some are lucky enough to have real interactions between their characters, but in the rest of the cases, you have the people at Pokemoa failing miserably with each and every couple they expected, and that's a good thing.
>>4599126Not to brag or anything, but my last big pre-airing "omg I love the idea of these two together" feeling turned out to be very, VERY right and satisfying from episode 1.Shina and Towa still had their moments but it could have been so much more.Myabe there will be a miracle in the final two eps
>>4601582>not even the fanartWhere‘s Nanoha fanbase now?
>>4601688in a similarly pathetic state to the Digimon Adventure fandom, living in the past while refusing to move forward.
>>4601688Doing nanofate fanart
>>4601767Funnily enough, the new digimon season gets way more gay art than exceeds.

>>4601819Yuuno and Vivio share the same VA, so yeah, in a way it was ferret all along.
They make a decent battle against Mana but lack of seriounesskinda sad with all the potential wasted
>>4602030Despite the jokes about budget this episode, Shina vs. Mana was actually pretty good all things considered.Also they really should have added "Did you hope to find happiness with your little friend Shina" here.
>>4602030They literally spell out Mana's weakness in the bloated, pointless flashback at the beginning. It would have been so much more satisfying if we saw Mana freak out and realize that the Flame Diaboli who beat her was now inside Shiina, but the writers once again forgot about "show, don't tell."
>>4602347Being happy she gets a rematch feels more in character for Mana.
