T_T I'm still tearing up. (Those that were in the channel will understand this).

As for the episode, it was ok. Since this series will be longer than the other two i guess it can take more time to get everything set up. Action scenes were pretty good, but in then end, i miss my lolis. Thank god Vita and Rein dont change though.

A definite character and story development episode but the great action scenes made it enjoyable. I'm seriously highly anticipating how great the action scenes are going to be because they're pretty good as of now and it's just practice (Subaru getting hit through a window, yes!). I can't wait until some bad ass enemy comes by and then they'll have to fight like there's no tomorrow.

I'm not a loli fan so I'm definitely enjoying the new look of the series. Finally, a magical girl series where lolis aren't the main character, which is a pretty rare occurrence. And at least in the third season of an anime time is a factor where everyone aged and grew up. Countless times I see animes where characters are stuck in an hour glass. Although what really put this in perspective is that Fate and Signum scene where they're walking side by side and Fate is just as tall as Signum. After that scene you just know that things have really changed a lot. Don't get me wrong I still like Vita and Rein, as well as Elio and Kyaro. Thus, the series still has a pretty good balance between the two types.

Yeah, totally agree to Faust. I have nothing against the grown-ups though. That big bed is nice ... :P

Anyway, I'm also looking forward to some nice battles. Can't wait to see Tia in real action ^^.

Just started watching, dissapointed.

It doesnt feel at all like Nanoha. It feels like a crappy writer came up with a crappy idea for an anime that resembled Nanoha, so the company tacked on the Nanoha name and characters so that people would watch it.

Don't like the baby dragon, the new weapons that arent staves, random new characters popping up. Also, where the heck is Chrono, Yuuno, and Arf?

Not liking this at ALL.

They will all show up, don't worry. Since this season is twice as long, they're just taking their time. But I agree, Nanoha A's was much better though this one isn't that bad and I'm still sticking with it.

the change of surroundings was a bit fast IMO (that may just be because i am watching all three seasons right after another), but i guess a timeskip really DOES affect a lot of things.
i like the new characters, and i like the grownup old ones.
training seemed like a nice scene, i guess they are not slowing down on the action ;D
so, new lost logia appeared... interesting
so umm... nanoha and fate are sleeping together? /blush

lol ambiguity.

I'm reserving judgement for until something actually HAPPENS. XD I mean, all we've seen is training.
None of the new characters really stand out to me, but there's potential.

I don't mind them being grown ups now. I like how they've matured mentally and physically (not saying I didn't like them when they were lolis).

Anyway, yay for Tea XP

I'm glad they grew up... it makes a little more sense when Nanoha and Fate inevitably kick the crap out of whoever the enemy is. I swear they were sleeping together, though.

In this episode we get to see the recruits in training, which is okay, but hopefully we get to see Nanoha, Fate, Hayate and the Wolkenritter in action soon.

The new characters aren't particularly appealing, although I think Erio seems pretty interesting. He uses the belka magic system instead of Midchilda, knows sonic move, has a spear and his device behaves a little like Laevatein and Graf Eisen, so I'm expecting some badass melee action from him (hopefully). To me, Subaru and her revolver knuckles doesn't spell badass as much as a spear which shouts "explosion".

I was hoping Nanoha would jump in as bonus training but that is just my impatience showing I guess. Good ep.

A lot of random characters keep popping out lol. My mind is all jumbled up trying to remember their names and the extreme plot change~ Not to mention I switch to StrikerS just as soon as I finished A's lol.

But meh~ It's good to see Nanoha and Fate sleeping together.. I think xD

I agree with everything you said. It almost feels like the first two seasons were a prequel to this. We have a ton of background info on Nanoha and the others, I just love it. Depending on the overall story I might rate this even higher than the second season...we'll see.

in the training session this song was playing in my head:

"Let's get down to business. To defeat the Huns.
Did they send me daughters when I asked for sons..."

And I pictured Nanoha singing it... :)

I was wondering about that. It seems one of them isn't using her own room much. And that after Rein stressed out that she will have prepared their rooms before they moved into the new building. Apparently Rein didn't find out yet, otherwise she would be upset ;)

Ok, so they want to find relic.. Is there only one relic?.. Or more than one?..
Hm.. So these enemies are absorbing magic.. Well, it seems we are against some really strong organization.. Who conducted experiments in all kinds of world.. Evils are on the huge level here.. Wonder, if they also maybe would have insiders or spies..
So Tea managed to cast high level magic, hm.. Well, good growing..
Hm.. So they managed to gain support.. Good to know..
And again Nanoha and Fate are sharing two place bed, it seems.. ;P

Mobile Section 6 is now complete, Erio, Caro, Subaru & Teana have all met and gotten to know each other a bit better.

Shamal is very excited about being the head doctor there.

The 4 rookies are training in a facility developed by S6, meanwhile Hayate & Fate are having a meeting with other talking about relics/lost logia been collected around the universe and about drones which are being used, similar to the ones they have developed for the training for this purpose.

The training was pretty tough for those 4, the drones were producing anti magic field but the 4 of them worked together to defeat them all.

I think those 4 will do just fine and I am looking forward to the future episodes and seeing their development.

Yeah, this episode's still kinda slow. It's been years since I've watched the 1st season of Nanoha, and I remember the plot took its sweet time so I guess that's also being done here (and considering StrikerS has 20+ episodes).

A nice amount of interaction and slice of life moments between the characters from the previous seasons. As much as everyone talks about the action, I think character interactions and relationship developments are as much of a staple in the magical girl genre.
