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
