| Well, I definitely see massive Nanoha influence in this, to the point that I have to question if some of the same people are involved in it. I only wish I enjoyed it a fraction as much as I enjoyed Nanoha. It's a similar theme, obviously, and the techie / magic aspect of their outfits and techniques especially stand out as heavily influenced by Nanoha. Though the art style isn't bad in this, it pales in comparison to Nanoha's, and I don't expect very many anime movies will even approach the quality of any of the 4 Nanoha movie's animation quality. I really don't think the plot in this series is anywhere near as interesting either, I thought it was neat but generic at the start, but it quickly got boring and never deviated at all. Well, I'd be interested to know if they mentioned that inspiration anywhere, because it's pretty obvious, but I suppose I might just be seeing what I want to see. The name itself even seems to suggest it's inspiration - (ahem... anyone who hasn't watched the Nanoha movies should do so as soon as possible... just saying... if you're watching a Mahou Shoujo you're doing yourself a disservice by not making it Nanoha first and foremost ;) ...seriously. PS. Geez, they really did go heavy on the fanservice in this anime. Nothing subtle about it here, I'd be embarrassed if my family saw me watching it, more than most in this genre. |||Edit||| well, I just revisited this anime, and think it's a shame it's so ...superficial. By appearance alone, there's some potential, but there is so little thought put into it - really they just wanted crotch shots and young girls kissing each other, and they designed a plot around it. I wouldn't mind some more anime like this that actually have plot, I would enjoy it quite a bit. It's a Nanoha-esq art style + Strike Witches level Fanservice and generic plot. Would it have hurt to think up ...SOME enemy that isn't just "mysterious alien monster" straight out of Strike Witches?? |
