That was by far the best episode so far. After setting up Fate as the antagonist of the show, that went out the window in this episode. I understand why she is so distant now. Pretty heavy stuff for a show starring two nine year old girls, no?

I'm interested in this chrono guy who appeared... this show has gotten good.

Never would have guessed there would be something like a space time bureau. Looks like more would be revealed about what these jewel seeds are.

WHAT THE FUCK?!?!

I thought this was an innocent little series, the next thing I see, Fate's sadistic mother is whipping her, I really didn't see that coming.

Fate-chan is becoming more awesome with each episode
it was sad when her mother whipped her and Fate did not see the lack of love.
It will be interesting to see what the time and space official has to say
and to to see her reaction to both Nanoha's and and Fate's stories

You could have seen it coming tho, the way fate was behaving gave some hints.

That the weak looking guy would interrupt there fight was something which was predictable as well.
I didn't like his entry was to arrogant the way he was demanding a explanation.

I wasn't surprised by the time and space government thing since I read the synopsis of the other two seasons. This is starting to get more interesting.

Holy hell, Fate's mom whipped like a runaway slave! Literally! I thought for a second that I was watching Sailor Moon when I saw their... "castle". It was so obviously evil it was almost hilarious. I understand why Fate is so cold, dedicated and hardcore when it comes to hunting down the jewel seeds. She really doesn't have room to be nice or accommodating.

I was entertained much more by this episode than the last. The site of a regulatory group usually signals an annoyance or antagonistic presence in the story. But in this case I welcome their interference.

By the way, was I the only one grossed out by the vagina-mouthed tree monster?
Ewww.

Not only is this series reminiscent of so many other magical girl series, but it gets serious as fuck at times. During this whole episode I was like wtf is going right now? It was set up and executed well, considering how friggen outrageous it's obviously about to get. All over made me enjoy this series more.

I noticed the scars Fate had on her back from an episode or two ago, but I didn't think it would have came from her mom beating her. Damn, that sucks.

By saying her mom was awkward did she mean total bitch?

There's been fan service since the early episodes. I never understood it either. Its suppose to be a show for little girls.

Ouch, that was pretty brutal. Pretty much on the running for the worst anime parent- not the worst though, she's still quite far behind Shou Tu-fuck, even thinking of the name fills me with complete revulsion. And if you still thought it was just another MG show topped with fanservice.

Nanoha finally decides to go for the befriending- hello Crono, the party pooper.

Next episode: a big crisis befalls Yuuno.

There is the sad backstory already we all were expecting when Fate apologized to Nanaho before blowing her away. Didn't expect it so soon.

Didn't expect space ships either, but the time agency looks somewhat interesting.

What is this cosmic lore all of a sudden?.. lol..
Yep.. Fate's mother is a cruel bitch.. And that's an understatement.. And certainly she's collecting seeds for some shit.. Well, Fate, maybe you'd have choice not to help her?.. I guess, it's one of two, probably.. Either her mother would destroy her, if Fate would go against her.. Or Fate still loves her mother, maybe got used to her abusive nature, who knows.. Sounds more like the second.. Maybe something else, of course..
Seems like we're finally getting answers next episode! I hope we're not getting baited.. Fucking finally, really, this suspension wasn't done really well, at least not to my tastes, fighting for nothing felt just frustrating more than anything to me.. I hope, we'll have something next time..

Where is the "Time Space Police" that busts Fates mother for child abuse?

What the hell is wrong with that woman.

And Fate isn't right in her head either with the way she defends her mother.

The previous of last episode showed Fate in that state, so I knew something was coming, and this talk about her mother, this really did not take me by surprise the act itself, but how explicit they are with it, that is kinda shocking.

And this a tag for +13, there is really no way this show is fit to children, at least not of the age the girls are supposed to be, wtf.

Great episode noneless, looking forward to see the next developments.

I hate when I'm right. I had a terrible feeling about Fate's mom the moment she was first mentioned x.x

I get the sense that Fate's mom may have at least partly inspired Kiryuin Ragyo, from Kill La Kill, aka world champion Worst Anime Parent Ever.

Why do I get such a big kingdom hearts vibe from this time-space authority group? Like the guys in black cloaks from kingdom hearts. I've never played kingdom hearts to be clear, it just seems reminiscent. Similar vibes.

Anyways, every single scene with Nanoha and Fate continues to compel me and activate my neurons. I can't wait for them to become friends. This episode has also made me really love Arf. Poor girl, she just wants Fate to be happy and to get her away from her abusive mom. You and me both, Arf! Hang in there, girl! Love will save the day - Nanoha's and yours!

Fate got the seed again, but she got hurt in the process of trying to seal it manually.

Good thing the devices have automatic repair systems.

That is quite the amount of number & letters needed to say in order to teleport.

Some people have taken notice of what is happening in their location.

That is really disturbing and hard to watch Fate getting tortured like that.

Chrono stops the 2 girls from fighting to end the episode.
I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.
