Magic Attraction

They all sound the same, so pretty equal?

she sold out after magic attraction

Is there any loli cuter than Feito-chan. Blonde lolis are the best.

>>2474727
as far as the kuudere types go, no not really

generic

I always thought loli Nanoha was cuter than loli Fate.

To be completely honest, Nanoha chose all of her best songs
I tried her other stuff and didn't particularly like them.

>>2474727
>>Is there any loli cuter than Feito-chan

Yes. All of them. And her show is terrible.

>>2474757
Vivio and Vita were both cuter

>>2476312
This. Goddamn.

>>2474727

I prefer Nanoha, there is something pure about her but she remains different from the usual magic girl in her attitude.

Fate is unfortunately screwed over in StrikerS and even in A's her personality outside of the determined daughter trying to impress her mother is frankly rather flat. At least A's made her into a kind of honourable warrior when talking to Signum, but outside of that there wasn't much to her. Good character design though, god knows who's idea it was to fit a 9yr old girl in a form fitting black suit with thigh highs, a really dainty skirt that may as well be her belt (and IS her belt in sonic form) all topped off with a flowing cape. They say the barrier jackets are usually designed by the mage's imagination. Fate probably followed her mothers wishes.

It's a shame they didn't do a whole lot with her once she became a smoking hot adult, it's like her barrier jacket suddenly became modest ironically when Fate is old enough that you shouldn't feel as guilty looking at her ass. Easily the hottest character in StrikerS ruined by a even more dull motherly personality with little backbone (her adopted kids have to convince her to fight on) and covered her up most the time. When she finally gets back into Sonic form she gets terrible animation and a lacklustre fight.

Here's hoping the film doesn't fuck up the best elements of the first series.

>>2476424

StrikerS blew ass. Don't even bother talking about it.

But yeah, Fate was awesome in season 1 and A's

I hated nanoha because of that fucking pet squirrel she had

>>2476326

This. Though Vivio takes time to get used to and isn't really up to Fate's standards. She starts out feeling like a bad gimmick designed to give Nanoha something to care about, but once she gets blasted the crap out of by her own adoptive mother you kind of dawww at her insistence on following Nanoha's example.

Alive & Kicking

>>2476449

Be fair, StrikerS had it's moments and even though both Nanoha and Fate seemed to lose some of their charms through the time skip, they gained in other respects. Mostly by becoming HEALTHY women who for some inexplicable reason slept in the same bed, in their lingerie. StrikerS fell apart in trying too much though, Nanoha herself didn't do too bad and came out looking bad ass if not a bit too obsessed with work. Fate was fucked over, she got a hot body and to comfort Nanoha some, but mostly had what little of her character left ripped out to wedge in more motherly softness, complete with (adopted) children.

She wasn't that fleshed out in A's, but at least she had that whole respectful warrior thing going on with Signum. I miss that. Signum got to keep that, but in return had almost no screen time.

>>2476504

>HEALTHY, hot body

You don't belong here.

But to make another point. Their relationship really never seemed more than close friends, The kind of cute close bond growing and all. StrikerS just seemed to say fuck it and LAWL LESBIANS.

>>2476520
nothing wrong with HEALTHY

The Museum > *

>>2476533

Do you really need to capitalize the word and make it seem like you're just following memes?

>>2476545
I am
Thats the point

>>2476520

I can sort of see your point on StrikerS just going for it on the yuri subtext (you could still, barely argue they were just good friends, god knows enough Anons did at the time) but it doesn't seem like the series has ever really shied away from it.

I mean, back in the original series you had Nanoha describing how beautiful Fate's eyes were and how she really wanted to get to know her better. You had Fate calling out her name when told. They've always gone a step further then others for the whole 'good friends' thing, it's just part of the formula the studio goes with, along with string along both sides of the spectrum. They love to put in a little bit of Yuuno on the side to put the whole thing into question and I doubt you'll see any further resolution in the later manga series.

>>2476577

Thats kind of the point really, The tone was there, but they never really came out and said it. That half way question made their relationship better (and a bit more hotter).

But StrikerS basically came right out with it. And so it lost some meaning and wonder..

StrikerS was too hamfisted with everything.

>>2476424
If Fate still rise with her mother, her jacket shouldn't change. But now with Harlaown, doesn't make sense?

They made a third season? I find that hard to believe. What are they going to do? Give them youth potions?

Because thinking of them being old and still magical girls is just... wrong. I couldn't see Nanoha or Fate as anything other than little school girls.

It must be a lie.

>>2476637
Magical soldier women.

>>2476648
That's highly unlikely.

>>2476658

Its pretty fucking shitty. Everything goes military magic shit. Fate and Nanoha get fucking limiters on their powers. They add in WAY to many characters to develop and care about. They introduce an idea or plot point, resolve it in a few seconds and never talk about it again.

Also pic related.

For all it's mistakes, Strikers gave us Vivio. It makes everything alright.

Fate and Maria are the same person.

lots of pedofags mad about strikers ITT

>>2476686
Unfortunately for you, we are secure in our likes and dislikes, and are not bothered by your inane trolling attempts, Sion.

>>2476675
That's why it doesn't exist.

>>2476623

My point is the yuri undertones have always been there, granted StrikerS took it to a new level as they were trying to top themselves with new gimmicks, but they stuck to never actually out and out announcing their relationship. Fate/Nanoha is still in question, if only barely.

>>2476637

StrikerS is season 3, season 4 is said to be upcoming manga only at the moment and probably expanding on StrikerS. Upcoming film is the first season redone to new styles. Meant to have more action, hopefully won't be styled too heavily after StrikerS and they'll have learned their lessons, but I doubt it. Bardiche is no longer voiced by a male, no longer angular but more axe like. Lots of little changes.

>>2476692
you always seem frustrated enough to reply to everything though white shit

>>2476695
>Bardiche is no longer voiced by a male
But... I loved S1's Bardiche voice...

>>2476679

Pretty much. Plus the core idea behind the Numbers was pretty cool and would have worked better if it didn't take over half the series to get to them. Elio and Caro need to stay the fuck away from future works and fall into the kind of cameo appearances Arf is limited to, hell, bring back Arf, she was one character we loved healthy.

Point is, StrikerS wasn't terrible, it was just disappointing. The first series messed about a bit, almost parodying the magic girl genre for the first set of episodes before settling into it's own thing with duelling gundam like loli battles, then A's stepped up the flavour with a 1-2 punch of plot/fight/plot/fight.

Basically, they got ambitious and overstepped the mark. Some nice ideas, poor execution.

>>2476695
Yuno/Nanoha is pretty much the canon couple in the manga.

>>2476697
Only so that I can see you whine some more, Sion.

>>2476695
>Bardiche is no longer voiced by a male

What the fuck.

>>2476740

I liked Caro, and wanted to see more of her.Lutecia as well, the summoning magic was cool.

I really didnt't like Tia or Subaru too much though.

Also, in the span of a few short years, cartage magic was forbidden and extremely dangerous, to everyone fucking uses it across the whole universe.

>>2476720
Me too. I really love bardiche's handsome voice even I'm man.
Graf Eizen is nice too.

>>2476743

Indeed. I beleive this image is based on or is directly taken from the look they are going for in the film.

>Bardiche is no longer voiced by a male
FUCK

>>2476761
EXPLOSHION was always fun.

>>2476744

Post proof please, last time I checked Yuuno was still being a pussy about it and failing to ask Nanoha out. Nanoha isn't asking no one because she's always been dedicated to her work and way of magic so unless he's finally doing something it's going to stay 'LOL, MAYBE'.

If we're counting a character having a crush on her as a official relationship, the anime had some of the side characters freaking out over how Vivio called both Nanoha and Fate her mommies. Hold about as much weight.

Seven Arcs are basically a bunch of cocks like that. They'll keep that one dangling for as long as they can.

>>2476766
If that's actually how the new Bardiche is going to look, I don't mind so much. I was a little worried about the whole "axe-like appearance" thing, but the way they did it makes sense based on how she wields it and it would still look fine in scythe form. Still though, I'm gonna cry the first time I hear Bardiche...

>>2476759

It was kind of experimental when Nanoha and Fate had theirs fitted, but you've got to keep in mind the time skip was like 10 years, plus StrikerS still doesn't seem to have them wide spread, the manga shows how Tia and Subaru were both misfits due to their styles. Subaru and Elio are both modern velkan magic base, basically making them like modern day equivalents of the Wolkenritter's system and most compatible with the cartridge system. Tiana was just fucking odd that way and made her own device before she joined Riot 6 and they made her a custom device based on what she was previously using.

Eitherway, it was still meant to be rare.

Caro and Lucitia would have worked better if Seven Arcs could draw monsters... you would think they would learn to stick to humans after the failures of the first two series. I still can't get why Zafira had to remain in beast form all the time too. Do they hate muscle men that much?

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

How could they take away Bardiche's voice? It's so good that I gave it to my own computer.
System start: "Operating check of the new system has started."
Pop-up question: "Order?"
Selection: "Yes sir."
And another 20 or so different notifications in his voice and it is truly a wonderful thing.

>>2476841
>Do they hate muscle men that much?
Considering they're the exact opposite of lesbian lolis, it's a possibility.

>>2476854
......Any chance of you uploading said sound clips to some download site?

>>2476861
i sort of think he's trolling tbh

I'm rather partial to Alive & Kicking myself.

>>2476854

I loved how they seemed to give them both actually English voice actors but still clearly wrote the dialogue in Engrish. Both Raising Heart and Bardiche have clear English voices but hilariously broken wording that kind of fits for a computer speaking language.

It's little details in Nanoha that made me love the series so. Like the different languages for different magic bases, and a seemingly mixed accent for the one device that is a bit of both. Subaru's device being Modern Velkan is English like the Midchildian devices everyone else has but heavily accented as though to give a nod to the fact all Ancient Velkan devices speak German. The different firearm mechanisms on each device with the cartridge system is a nice touch along with the explanations on how barrier jackets work and the like. I quite enjoy the magical technology setting they have set up.

amazing

StrikerS might have sucked, but Scaglietti was so awesome that he just had to exist.

>>2477501

This is true.

Alive & Kicking was good, but I quite liked Great Activity as well. It's got both the StrikerS OP in them, as well as a few other nice songs.

Alternatively, try 'The Museum', which is basically a collection of her older songs (came before Great Activity, so none of the StrikerS OPs)

>>2477501
>>2478077
Scaglietti was a faggot.

I like incest Nana better than lesbian Nana. I like her songs from this too.

>Scaglietti

thats a funny way to spelling teana subaru ginga

>>2478237

They really need more Signum in Vivi'd. I like her better than Nanoha mainly because of her cool, onee-sama exterior.

Just like Shion !U4ZKgLjqPw is a funny way to spell shit piss cum.

>>2478245

>>2478255

Another way to spell of Shion !U4ZKgLjqPw is faggot that wants to be banned.

Fuck yeah Nanoha discussion.

But yeah StrikerS is hard to go through.
It made me feel like watching GS Destiny again. I mean who the fuck care about Tea, Subaru, Caro and whoever that small boy is.
Only redeeming feature of the show is introducing Reinforce. Can't believe they fucked up so hard after the awesomeness of A's.
