Nanoha StrikerS: Ep17, Geass Nooooooooo!

[mDuo13]

Just skimming the comments in this thread makes me gawk at the bizarreness of it all. Nanoha has obviously come a very long way from the first two episodes that I watched. Damn. I'm almost tempted to give the show a third chance...

[Tsubasa]

Do it.  In my highly biased opinion, it's a great watch. XD

[Sunara Ishi]

Finally got around and watched ep. 7 and 8... -.-;

Lutecia's powers is fitting for her but at the same time kinda disappointing. I was hoping for more wow... -.-;

I kinda liked seeming them in the formal dresses but I do agree that the animation was a little poor and took away from its awesomeness...

Tea's emo-ness annoyed me... I wanted to slap her. Its one thing to push yourself but don't be stupid about it... -.-;

hmm... I don't remember that green haired guy from A's.. Was he introduced in the manga?

But maybe its because they are grown up that I don't recognize them... -.-; Yuuno and the other guys look so different...

Verossa Acous.  Administration Bureau intelligence division investigator.  Rare-ability user of ancient Belka.  First introduced in the A's to StrikerS manga chapter 3.

I can back this up, having rode often in what he probably will be calling the Asura sometime soon.

I prefer the romanization "Arthra." :3


Oh, and forgot to mention it, but I watched episode 10 this morning.

Episode 10:
-A day off!
-More TeanaxSubaru fodder for fans of the pairing.
-Caro's outfit is cute. :3  She and Erio are so clueless.
-I look forward to seeing more mode 2's
-Rein service for Spirit. =P
-New characters and developments.

I think the next episode will have some action.  We see Hayate in her katchuu in the preview. XD

I still want to get the manga from you. D:

I'll third that as his knowledge of the series is rather frightening.

~forths it~ because I can.

Concerning ep. 9, I was also wondering where they got that footage. -.-; I guess the info they gave on nanoha's incident happened in the manga? (I'll look at manga later... btw, is the manga only three chapters or more?)


I want to see Lutecia get more love. She has only appeared briefly so far... I'm sure they'd give us develop eventually... So far Caro and Lutecia are my tops of the new girls.

[Tsubasa]

They don't give any more exposition than they did in the anime.

There are three chapters of A's to Strikers.  Then there's another five or so chapters of Starting Stars.  I don't remember the exact number and I'm too lazy to dig up my issue of Megami.  I think the last chapter ran in the May issue.

[Tsubasa]

Ep 11:

For anyone who feels like this series needs more direct human opposition, you'll love this episode.  Division 6 engages other people for the first time.

-Considering the pretty bad string of animation in recent episodes, this episode picks up quite a bit.
-Chrono makes his appearance.  I never expected him to show up after Yuuno.  And having him voiced by Sugita Tomokazu is just a little weird. ^^;
-Ginga demonstrates the device given to her by Division 6.  So cool.  Now show me Carim doing something. XD
-Hayate in armor is never bad. :3
-Aside from Lutecia, I'm not really feeling the new antagonists.  At least, not yet.  Since this is Nanoha, I'm sure they'll grow on me.

The next episode should continue the action.  I can't wait.

[mDuo13]

A friend linked me to this on iichan. I find it mildly amusing:

[Sunara Ishi]

J had the image as his avatar a few months ago... but I think its still cool.

Even more so after I've seen all of black lagoon. Though only the young version of the russian chick would even be close to nanoha... -.-;

[Tsubasa]

Ep. 12:

-Continuation of the action.  Even more enemies introduced.  I think they hold a bit more promise than before, but they still need development.  At the least, their powers are interesting.
-The young forwards take more of a backseat role this episode, as others steal the spotlight: Nanoha, Fate, Hayate, Vita, and Rein being the notables.  Kinda nice considering how those characters haven't gotten as much time this series.
-Not much, but a bit more Ginga.  She's quickly becoming one of my top new characters.
-They show a picture of Lindy.  Still sekushii. XD
-Signum, once again, gets no love.  And I want to see Schach in action.  Why do you tease me so?  I can't even make out what kind of device she has.

I think the show is getting rather interesting.  Well, moreso.  I've always thought it interesting. XD;

And, a point of discussion I didn't note last entry, I noticed last episode that Hayate can create Mid-Childan magic circles.  Not the circle she stands on, but others which she shoots from.  She continues in this episode.  I guess this clears up a point of speculation relating to her official designation as a "madoukishi" in the A's epilogue.  FYI, Mid-Childa magicians are "madoushi," (magician) while Belka are "kishi" (knight).  I'm assuming it's magic stored in the Yaten no Sho/Book of the Twilight and that her spells are still overwhelmingly Belkan though.

I seen 9 eps soo far. What website can I order the manga? I wanted to look at it for more details and stuff.

Ep 13:

Very plot heavy.  Lots of talking.  Some of it went completely over my head. XD;

-<3 Nanoha w/children.
-We get to see what Schach's device is.  I kinda surmised about as much, but it was extremely vague last episode.
-Subaru & Teana are still quite the pair.
-I admit that Fate saying "oniichan" is rather cute.
-More Carim prease.
-I'm wondering where this internal conflict plot point is going.


I know Spirit and I were wondering about this before, but I've got confirmation that the second half of StrikerS will have a new OP & ED.  Source?  CDJapan and their preorders. XD;

New OP: Mizuki Nana - Massive Wonders
New ED: Tamura Yukari - BEAUTIFUL AMULET

I have a lot of expectations for these new themes.  I really like SECRET AMBITION and Hoshizora no SPICA, but a change isn't bad.  And Nanoha has never let me down in terms of music.

I'm hoping the new OP & ED sequences will feature the new characters they've been introducing and focus on the new plot threads that are appearing.


I'm also hoping Ginga will play a bigger role in the series soon. XD  She's recently got some pretty good air time.

[LastElixir]

New OP: Mizuki Nana - Massive Wonders
New ED: Tamura Yukari - BEAUTIFUL AMULET

oMg those titles are so nanoha-esque.
