well, I guess I should have given the series a much lower score, since I find myself agreeing to these reviews about StrikerS.
Being a new fan of Nanoha this year just made me give StrikerS a high score because it was Nanoha.
If I had to rank the seasons from best to worst, it would be:
1. A's
2. First season
3. StrikerS
I don't know though, StrikerS and the first season are almost in a tie in my book, both had their slow parts and such, but StrikerS was no exception with having almost half the season full of fillers.
I guess theres a pattern...if you want instant action from start to finish, go watch A's.
Want all talking and somewhat amazing battles, go watch StrikerS.
If you want a mix of both, go watch the first season.
