I didn't think I'd be posting images here like I do in the Vivid thread.

But anyway, latest chapter pics, ahoy! >:3

Spoiler for Pics:

My thoughts of Force, so far? I'm interested in the semi-serious direction it's taking and I'm liking the new toys they bring, but I'm still far, far away from being even remotely comfortable with the Eclipse stuff. Anti-magic that simply multiplies any magical value by zero no matter the quantity (Esquire Huckebein can cancel the Arc-En-Ciel! THAT was the last straw.) simply reeks of cheapness that I just can't approve of it right now. The ECM (Anti-esper powers) concept in Zettai Karen Children is handled ten times better than the anti-magic development in the Nanohaverse, character development hundred times more. I know that it's a good opportunity of developing the creativeness of mages and for the development of technology, but why jump here immediately when we hardly ever seen anything or anybody be a serious threat to the protagonists without relying on the anti-magic plot device?

I'm reserving my judgment of the new protagonists for now, though I don't dislike what I see from them so far. Isis in particular is an actual competent and interesting character.

Force has been so-so so far. The manga actually giving Hayate a chance to show off as a valid threat even though she got shafted yet again is a nice little surprise. (Yes, yes. I know how utterly pathetic it sounds. But can you blame me? If the Nanoha PSP AU timeline didn't exist I'd be so sick and tired of hoping for anything to expect from Hayate and the Yagami-ke beyond this point. And that's putting it lightly.)

I'd still rather have the Aces' teen years explored rather than this, though. I love the adult Aces but I also want to see them grow during their adolescence. It's usually one of the most interesting periods in a person's life after all.

But anyway, latest chapter pics, ahoy! >:3 Spoiler for Pics: This is definitely Lily's chapter. And yep, our sweet and silent gal delivers. She powers up and jumps off the Wolfram... Approaches Touma going on 'Emergency Division' (Don't ask me how that works.) and gets slashed across the chest for her trouble... And makes it through anyway with a damned fine example of a cooldown hug. Cliche, I know. But I'll be damned if I don't appreciate the effort. Why hello there, Reinforce Drei! What an original wardrobe you have! Sarcasm aside, I do think Lily carries the look better than Rein Zwei does. She Unisons with Touma, cancels the berserk program and pretty much shows the finest example of a Unison being used to make things right. Sorry, Rein and Agito. Lily's feat is more impressive than anything I've seen from the two of you so far. Mission a success, even if partly. Hi Shamal, you shotacon- *teleported to outer space* Isis: Don't lay a hand on Touma- Nanoha: Let's be friends! :3 Isis: Crap! No way out! Hizamakura~ Rivalry? Yeah right. I'm very reluctant to expect anything more than casual lip-service and consistent screentime failure from Tsuzuki's way of handling Hayate. I'll ride along one more time, but there better be something that we can look forward to about this. (On a lighter note, since when did Curren start wearing lipstick?) April is the month for RAEP faces? We get one from Micaiah in Vivid too. Alpha 5 Army? My thoughts of Force, so far?
