ToG25thBaam said: Is this show any good? Yes, the second anime and the movies. |
 |
| I've only watched the TV series yet, but I'll be looking forward to this. ToG25thBaam said: Is this show any good? One of the few mahou shoujos I approved. |
| Damn, this gets me hyped!! |

| Here's a quick subjective summary for those not familiar with Nanoha anime: TV season 1: good TV season 2: fucking awesome, six out of two, aoty TV season 3: it doesn't exist Movie 1: awesome Movie 2: good In other words, watch the first movie, then the second TV series. The second movie felt a bit lacking and couldn't deliver the emotions present in its TV counterpart - compared to the 1st one, which managed to compress the first season really good. A bit spoiler-ish graph of episodes (includes episode numbers, which may be a spoiler): click, click 2 |

| I only watched the two movies. I wonder if the TV series is worth watching |
thepath said: I only watched the two movies. I wonder if the TV series is worth watching The second one is worth to watch, the first just if you want some characterization of secondary characters. |
|
| Personally, Season 2 is my favorite from the franchise. Season 1 was also pretty good with the introduction of the main characters and other stuff going on. Season 3....ugh way too much things happening at once and clustered into a story that was hard to get used to. I'll definitely look forward to the new movie though! |
 |
| S2 are the best. But really. People, who hate S3 and Force are either lolicons or don't like the serious staff IMHO. Not to mention that S3 is the best selling one. Almost twice comparing with S2. |

| S1 was alright S2 is a masterpiece S3 was a little slow, but still pretty damn good So hyped for this movie. Nachtwandler_21 said: S2 are the best. But really.

Theirs plenty of reasons not to like Force. But then again, I like ViviD, and apparently everyone except me hates that. |
| Judging from sales at least Japanees really like ViVid. And me too. |
| |
| If that Moviewalker site even completely reliable? It feels like something that Tsuzuki or someone directly related to the movie would confirm before moviewalker can place a date on it. |

jmal said: Nachtwandler_21 said: S2 are the best. But really. People, who hate S3 and Force are either lolicons or don't like the serious staff IMHO. This idea that only lolicons could dislike StrikerS is one of the single silliest ideas in all of anime fandom. Why does it have to be all about a lolicon fetish, and not, say, feeling like it has terrible pacing, a completely uninteresting villain, a huge overreach on cast size that results in little to no characterization for most characters, and really poor production values? It's the single most disappointed I've ever felt in a sequel in any medium, anime or otherwise. (And I think adult NanoFate are hot as hell thanks very much. Doesn't save the show though!) I could understand complaints about pacing or antagonist but poor production values... Are you kidding me?! They were at least on par with S2. And characterisation of main cast was good enough. Maybe Numbers and Lutecia's team had top few focus but not that it's such a big problem. And there's still a lot of additional material in manga and Drama CDs |

| Glad to see that the Nanoha series is still around. The first two seasons were highly enjoyable for me so I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more. |

| Thanks for all the replies, I appreciate it. Will start watching it within the next few days. I will also try out the 3rd season even though it might be bad according to some people, but hey by any chance I might like it. :) |

I still think the 2nd is the best though. As for the movie, well, I can't wait. I've seen the 1st and enjoyed it because of all the new scenes. |

| Good to know fans of the Nanoha franchise (including me) won't be kept waiting for any longer. I was anxious to know whether the movie would be released this year, so it's good to have confirmation. It's definitely been a while since I've watched seasons 1 to 3, and I've rewatched the first two movies a few times already. I'll probably watch them again before I watch the third movie :) First 2 seasons of Nanoha were good, with S2 > S1. I actually liked season 3, although I do agree that the pacing was a bit slow and the scale of the cast expansion was a bit too much, but I was totally fine with it. I liked reading Force and Vivid as well, but I like the former better than the latter. Vivid has its own enjoyable charms, but I personally think the story development of Force is better than what Vivid has to offer. It makes it all the more unfortunate that Force is on hiatus now :( At least I can still enjoy reading Vivid. |
| Check out my list here. That's the Brigade Chief's orders! |
| Good news, I hope we will have some info very soon regarding the plot. ToG25thBaam said: Is this show any good? Allow me to speak my opinion also. S1 - Starts like a basic mahou-shoujo, really good. S2 - This is more battles/action, my favorite season. S3 - Many new characters are thrown without development and the villain is bad. S4 (Vivid manga) - Feels like a side-story, definitely more for lolicon fans. Again many new characters are thrown and it's pretty much a battle tournament. S5 (Force manga) - Poorly written, some things are recycled from A's in an inferior manner. The villains like in StrikerS are again not interesting enough. So pretty much, Nanoha's newer installments aren't that good, so I hope this new third movie will make up some difference. And hoping that the creator won't use some new random characters with no development... |
| I'm really behind on this franchise. I've only seen the first show. |

| I've been waiting for this day. |

| This is interesting news to me. I've already watched all 3 seasons of its anime series, but I've yet to watch the movies. Guess I'll have to schedule watching the first 2 movies soon... |

And dat Vivio You're not the only one. :3 Still, season 2 is the best, 'nuff said! I don't think fans of StrikerS need to feel lonely. That season sold 22k, whereas the first two sold 4k and 11k respectively. A lot of that is just the pure expansion of the fanbase from season to season as years went by (I'm not particularly convinced a majority of fans would list StrikerS as their favorite season if asked, but there were a lot more Nanoha fans by that point) and it's only accelerated since then, but the numbers don't lie, it was wildly successful. I really disliked it personally, but that doesn't mean I deny the obvious fact that it served the financial success of the franchise extremely well. I would list it as my favorite. Yeah more development was needed and the plot could've used some major re-focusing, but I love the Nanoha universe so much that I just liked seeing the characters interact with each other, regardless of whether they were up against a villain or if the plot got "super srs" like in S1 and S2. S3 > S2 >>>>>>>>>> S1. The films are on a different scale until I rewatch the first and actually sit down to watch the second. |

S3 > S2 >>>>>>>>>> S1. The films are on a different scale until I rewatch the first and actually sit down to watch the second. So, the story does not matter? Besides, the author constantly focus on new characters on each of his installments and Nanoha/Fate aren't that important anymore. (At least in the 3rd movie they will be) Then I suppose spin-off manga are also good for you. |

| More Nanoha is always a good thing. Also. more Fate. |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

That's interesting. Is the movie not going to take place between A's and StrikerS? What else can they do, if it has to be original content? I think I'm in the minority (me and jmal I guess) who liked S1 over the 1st movie. The 1st movie botched the relationship between Nanoha and Fate, not leaving enough time between the fights. A's and its movie were still the best Nanoha media overall though. I'm not going to bother with StrikerS, Vivid or Force. |
