![]() ![]() I spent most of my time watching them hoping the episode would come soon that they were horribly and painfully killed by one of the strikers. As I said before I really loathed the villains and found pretty much none of them to be sympathetic in the least. The new Strikers are interesting characters though, particularly Tia and Suburu as they get the most development. This is what I mean about there being just too many characters for the shows own good.Ĭharacter wise though I still give this a good rating, despite my disappointment with the lack of beloved characters and too little screen time for Fate and Nanoha. The action loses its bite and the drama is lessened because of the constant shifting around to all of the characters battles. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the final battle which takes up about 7 episodes to complete. This isn’t because of filler really, almost every episode advances the main plot in some way but episodes feel like they are being stretched out for no reason than so they take up an entire episode. The thing is, that this didn’t need to be a 26 episode story, it could have been told in 13 episodes just as easily and probably had a lot more effect and suspense. Further frustrations include a silly restriction on Nanoha, Fate, Hayete, and her knights’ powers. The villains are mostly maddenly annoying and overpowered. This anime is crushed under its own weight of a further explosion of new characters, most of whom are stupid and useless dead weight. oh wait there she is in episode 18 or so? uh why is Arf now a loli? Hello! Story?! Can you please explain why the grown up and buxom fox spirit Arf now looks like she’s 8 years old? Oh you’re not going to explain that huh? wtf is Arf? She was a very important figure in Fates life. What happened to her friends from her hometown? What happened to her family? Why does Yuuno who it is implied that perhaps a romantic relationship may develop there almost complete absent from her life? And talking Fate. In addition, characters I find to be important to Nanoha's world completely vanish from her life or are given basically cameo roles. There is shockingly little Nanoha in this show, sure she appears a lot has a few lines then vanishes from the screen for 10 minutes to make another couple minute appearance. ![]() It’s not called Magic Girls and sometimes Nanoha. ![]() This reason I knock the rating down for this show is well this show is called Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha. It does however bring you through the entire spectrum of emotions, I cried at times, I laughed at others, and I was frustrated and angry too. Tons of new villains though without the shocking plot twists. ![]() They were able to construct a much larger and grander story than previously. When I started this series I thought wow they will do something amazing with 26 episodes compared to just 13! Well yes and no. When you compare the story in StrikerS to the first two series then this show comes up short. Taken though on its own merits this is a well crafted drama with good action and is fun to watch. overbearing military theme to it that just feels out of place for a Nanoha show. It just doesn’t feel like the originals, it also has a very I will get into that further later, but as a sequel to the Nanoha franchise IMO this series fails. While I did find myself glued to my television watching this there was quite a bit about this series I found extremely disappointing. The final season brings back most of my beloved characters, provides a decent story and action and lets me enjoy grown up versions of Nanoha and Fate. Well here I have arrived at the final season of Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha. ![]()
