That was a pretty damn good episode.

This episode made the show totally awesome. I was expecting the monster a week thing to go on and Nanoha getting owned by Fate a few more times, but this twist is certainly nice.

Interesting twist at the end...though I thought Nanoha took way too long to start sealing.

Decent episode, nothing more, nothing less. Things are starting to cook up somewhat...

The number on the jewel seed is XIX, not XIV. But you probably don't care by now.

First half was way too slow for my tastes. And speaking of slow, Nanoha took way too long when it came to attempting to seal the latest jewel seed. I know she wanted to talk to Fate, but she said herself that she has a responsibility to Yuuno.

This episode was....alright
It was basically an episode circled around how Nanoha's friends care about her and how they all met
Did both their staffs break???

I'm disliking the formula until now. First half is Nanoha dealing with real life, then magic pops in in the second half and she transforms and she fights.
I want something new dammit. I'm really hoping Nanoha A's is worth sitting through all of this...

I think that blue haired doctor is the masked guy. I dunno, I could be wrong, but who else has short cut purple hair? :P

Did Fate's familiar just ate dog food? Well she might a dog, okayy... LOL

I was screaming in my head; "WTF! Stop staring up at the Jewel Seed and seal/capture it already!", which was what she was aiming, for Fate to show up and talk about her intention.

Things are getting serious now. And personal. Nanoha trying to hide the secret from others, but they still noticing it.

And the scars on Fate's back. Let's just say, she didn't earn them from battles.

Next episode: the rest of the cast makes an appearance. And Precia.

Ugh Nanoha. Seal first, reminisce later.

For a bunch of elementary school kids, these characters sure are good at psychoanalyzing people, especially themselves. Wish I was that good when I was a 9 year old brat lol.

The show has gotten slightly better ever since Fate got introduced, but it still feels quite bland and uninteresting.

At least she didn't lose again I guess. Way too much fighting during their fight though; unsurprisingly interrupted by Barf.

Well.. At least normal life part is still going interestingly in this anime, but the magic one needs some explanations sooner than later..
It is a very nice thing to point out, by the way.. That you're making person hurt very much by hurting him.. Pretty obvious thing, maybe, but still at some times children are just hurting each other not to actually hurt someone, but to win, or something like that.. Not in all instances, though.. And not everyone is actually able to understand thing about hurting others..
Eh.. They really need to start explaining magical part, though..

More praise to give, my heart now full of yuri thoughts, I enjoyed tremendously the development this episode, Nanoha is getting some development and I like that she is trying to see past differences and trying to talk to Fate, she has seen herself that Fate doesnt seem to be evil in the end of the spectrum, thus she wants to try to understand what is going on.

I m proud of Nanoha, she is being way less annoying than I first expected, drama was on point on the first half, and for the context of when this anime came and what it is about, second half was pretty HYPE, music was also on point.

Next episode is something I want to see tons of, on the preview, it really seems like we will get something akin to a mother to Fate, being the real baddy and all (Fate body was looking like a wreck there, damm).
I have been on strike, since I only started to watch this last night, now being morning and me having seen 6 episodes, it is a testament to how enjoyable the show is so far, and only getting better the more you watch, will have to wait a few hours to watch next episode, responsabilities call and all, but know I will be able to sat down, have some lunch and enjoy more of this, leaves me looking up to it a lot~~

People watching should use this dude's example, if you are not already enjoying and digging the developments these last few episodes, then I dont think that even if A's is a nice improvement, it will meet your expectations, better stop watching now!

To me this was great so from the start I guess I was right thinking this would be a nice series to watch one day, and I m watching it almost 10 years of being on MAL, feels like a classic anime alright.

BIG MAGIC EXPLOSION, Fate seems to be looking for the jewel seedsfor something related to her mother, but is it good for her? Things are unfolding so quickly, I'm digging it.

listen. there is no heterosexual explanation for nanoha's little monologue at the start of this episode.

i really love nanoha's dedication to the idea of, like. cooperation, friendship, communication, etc. i believe in that kind of thing, very deeply. I think the idea of "us vs them" is the most damaging and toxic part of society at large and the worldview of many individuals.

If the only way you can imagine victory is in the form of everyone else's defeat, then you'll never be at peace. there is enough for everyone in this world, if we could only put aside our fear and dare to expose ourselves to the danger and vulnerability of working together without being punished for it.

to quote a very wise, sexy, and intelligent woman (myself): "Love is the most powerful force in the universe. Or rather, Mutually beneficial cooperation to maximize value satisfaction is the optimal global strategy, but that isn't as snappy as the love thing~."

Nice to see that Nanoha’s friends are worried about her.

Nanoha fought really well in this episode.

Both their weapons broke.
