Here's some images for the new season:

Hmm, chibi Arf, Fate in a school uniform, and more evil magical girls. Man, I seriously can't wait for the new season. 8-)

It's quite amazing that the producers has taken this mahou shoujo genre series and made it a "shounen action" type. It's all about casting spells and lay waste on your enemies! Of course there is an arching plot. :wink:

Just got episode 1 of the new sequel, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A. Man, I thought I'm going get burned out with these new shows with badass girls, but man was this episode entertaining. It's quite entertaining how Nanoha is able to strategically call out her magical attacks especially when she doesn't have to transform. Though that new "evil" magical girl Vita can really do massive destruction when she goes to her "SEED mode".

Pretty awesome action sequences though, but
Nanoha got beaten pretty badly especially since her magic staff cracked. Of course it left off with an evil cliffhanger where Fate blocks Vita's attack and saves Nanoha. :x


Need more mahou shoujo destruction! :shock:

And episode 2 of Nanoha A's has delivered me more mahou shoujo destruction! YESSS!!!!!

Nanoha got beaten pretty badly so Yuuno put her in a magic barrier for her to recuperate. While that's happening, Fate and Arf goes 2-on-1 against Vita and nearly won until reinforcements came; it's another magical girl who uses a sword and a man dog (similar to Arf). The new enemies really did a number against Fate and the others, so Nanoha decided to use her ultimate attack to destroy the barrier. Unfortunetly, another magical girl appeared, and she nearly interupted Nanoha and put her hand through her! :shock:

Nanoha was able to perform the spell, but she collapsed in the end.


This is pure awesomeness! Action scenes were well choragraphed and well animated. The evil magical girls (known as the Velka-type Knights) have the coolest weapons ever with their German-talking magical staffs and cartriage loading attacks.

It's the way magical girl anime shows should be! 8-)

Geez, episode 4 was EVIL....... :evil:

... they left with a cliffhanger of Nanoha and Fate getting new magical upgrades along with new transformation scenes, and they're about to fight those evil magical girls!

Gah! I need episode 5 NOW and see more mahou shoujo ass kicking!
:x


On the plus side, Fate's shy reactions during the first day of school was adorable. 8-)

Well the first 3 episodes of the first season starts out like a typical magical girl show. Then Fate arrived, and the episodes progressed that's SO not typical magical girl. Second season really reinforced that "not-so-typicalness". Just see if you can get through the first 5 episodes or so of the first season, and if you don't like it, oh well. :|

I just finished watching episode seven of the raws.

Spoiler wrote:I like the parallel between the ending of this episode and the ending of episode 2, this time with Fate's Linker Core getting yanked out.

I'm starting to have some strong suspicions about who the guy in the white mask is. The same episode that we hear talk about Chrono's father, Clyde, being involved in the Book of Darkness's last appearance, we see White Mask pull out a device that looks very similar to Chrono's S2U. Foreshadowing, perhaps? (This is conjecture since my understanding of Japanese is sketchy at best and may have interpreted several conversations incorrectly.)

I'm also starting to think Nanoha's going to be forced to engage Excellion Mode before Raging Heart's framework is reinforced to hold it, especially given the warnings she's been given against it. Her Axel Mode is already insanely powerful; how over-the-top is Excellion Mode going to be?

I really want to know what's going to happen when Hayate finds out what the Velka are doing, and when the gang discovers who's the true master of the Book.

I'm loving the fight scenes, and I'm truly wondering where the plot is going to go, now that we've reached the halfway point of the series. In the first season, we still hadn't gotten the huge magical girl fight and Fate's redemption at this point, so there's huge tracts of ground that the new plot can cover.


It's a show I look forward to every week, and I hope that it gets licensed so American audiences can enjoy it.
