Every chapter you'll see the half-naked lolis, every chapter will be filled of Ein's toughs of being stronger, every chapter will be filled with the same mock battles, every chapter will be filled with loooong dialogues of attacks explanations. I mean, seriously, 4 chapters for 1 single mock battle that ends in a most ridiculous draw?

To resume, Vivid it's bad because it's repetitive, because it's cliched and because is a mere fanservice manga.

I guess you don't like The Simpsons or Family Guy either. But what do you know, the Simpsons is the longest running program, and Family Guy was the first show to ever be revived after cancellation. So I guess there's something to be said about the quality of those shows...

That it varies from person to person

Well, actually I don't like them. >.>

Well then it's clear what your tastes are. Just because something doesn't suit your tastes doesn't mean it's universally bad and should be thrown in a vault and burned like you suggested.

Anyways, since you've already put it behind you, now we can all move on

...Not the best comparisons. Really, I'd be hard pressed to think of something that's LESS like Vivid than The Simpsons.

I think Yotsuba&! is a better conmparission xD

To me I dislike StrikerS. My personal philosophy is that is if you suck at something, don't do it. StrikerS shows the creator are relatively weak in terms of political/ strategical/ tactical elements. Force seems to be a continuance of StrikerS and I don't see any sign of improvement

To me Vivid is more a shonen figth under the apparence of magical girl, there are problems with Force but it's trying with things that i like too see.

Uh, no. It's just that I'm not into those comedy series, but I have nothing against them. Still your comparation is quite akwrad to me and I don't see the need for bringing those series into the discussion.

Now I'm only hoping to see a new chapter of Force soon translated. I'm giving a chance to it after the last Signum battle which I liked a lot.

You have some strange sanse of taste sir.

You know what I'd like to see? A manga series dedicated to the rehabilitation of the reformed Numbers. SSX says the new Nakajima sisters have their own sub-unit called N2R or something like that, but how'd they get to the point where they're trusted to operate independently? There's a story behind that, and I'd like to hear it.

Aki hates Force largely because of the Signum/Cypha curbstomp. Looky there, another difference in tastes!

I agree, it would be cool indeed but Nanoha doesen't look like the kind of franchise that profundizes much on long "flashback arcs" or something similar, but if they give themselves the chance it would be awesome, there's a great bunch of information and undeveloped stories that they can cover and the Numbers are one os those stories.

Ugh... no, I'm just curious to see what's gonna hapen to Signum.

There was a curbstomp on Force? Can't remember it.

You don't remember Cypha breaking Levantine by being hit with him and then nearly killing Signum in one hit? I don't think anyone's ever gotten owned that hard in the entire franchise, save maybe Quattro.

Page claim for definitions.

A yeah, that scene you were talking about.

A bit graphic, yeah, I must admit, but the whole battle was quite entretaining.

Yup, pretty much, i leave the idea of following FORCE with serious expectatives because of that but i return after accepting that things have indeed changed(also i think i'm kind of a masochist xDU) and now i'm on the mindset of expecting cool mecha-fighting with Nanoha's Big boom-boom upgrade xD. Also, there's still a few characters i like a lot and that apparantly will be getting a better plot armor than Signum, like Subaru for example.

1.- Yep, i'm curious too but i learn to not have high expectations on that.

2.- Yep, she gets horribly curbstomped(in fact she receives the bloodiest worfing this franchise have seen so far) for the sake of a chessy boost on the drama.

Cheap, crappy, well like i said before, my english suck at times but you get my point xDU.

EDIT: By the way, the title of FORCE 010 will be "Solitude", you can see it here on the last scan.
