Mm, nice teasers actually.
I have to admit I've been feeling a bit anxious for this movie. I'm sure it'll be entertaining as movie 1st at a minimum just with the looks. The first movie was a bit disappointing because they had to compress some details but came across to what I would reimagine season 1 as so I was happy with it and gave a sense of nostalgia over what I liked about that series. That being said, I've really not enjoyed the main series since A's too much. StrikerS was fun in some parts, but in the end it was mainly for the existing characters. Not saying the new introduced characters were that bad, but I didn't feel they were on the same level. And that, with the later mangas just took the series in a direction in which I really had no interest in. So these movies will prove to be a great distraction. I feel like I have too much expectations for this movie, as A's is the pinnacle of the series and I wouldn't know how to compress it into a movie and make it better. My feeling is this will be my last dealing with this franchise for a long time, but at least it will remind me of why I loved watching this in the first place and perhaps put my gripes to peace. There's always the promise that they'll make a dedicated effort to continue the story in a new direction (maybe the in-between A's and StrikerS timelines) One can always hope.

Nice toughts Archon, A's was also the climax of the frnchise for me, StrikerS had it's very awesome moments and it was a fun ride in the end but also had more "details" to pick on than the previous season and most of my awe was for the developement of the A's cast anyway. Still i found some memorable characters(Subaru, Zest, Agito) and others who grew on me over time(Teana, Vice, Carim, Schach, Lutecia, etc...). The new mangas has been difficult to swallow for me, specially FORCE which attacked most of what i found awesome in A's directly xDU
My feelings for the incoming movie had been mixed, i'm eager to see it to watch the Wolkenritter being awesome again and seeing them fight in high-budget flashy battles, but story wise i'm a bit worried, since they now have this "StrikerS-like" approach. I like StrikerS but i feel each season have it's own style and should remain that way. A's was more about epic fantasy and one-on-one duels with just few elements of military scy-fi thrown into the mix, the concept of Ancient Belka was still fresh by that point and the Wolkenritter were involved in an aura of mistery ....the same as Fate and the Jewel Seeds on Season 1. Which is a direct contras with Jail and the numbers whe were presented as a very modern(even futuristic) terrorist group with ambush tactics, tactical teamwork support and the like, also the setting is totally different(The technomagically advanced Mid-Childa in contrast with the very normal and magic ignorant city of Uminari, Japan). I'm trying to see the positive and don't make huge expectations, MOVIE 1st worked for me cause i saw that as a complement for the original Season One si i'll try this approach with MOVIE 2nd A's to avoid direct comparission since the original A's have a special place in my heart which cannot be replaced by a mere higher budget and flashy stuff, i'll wait for the story the different story the movie will try to tell me. P.S.- Preparing mentally for Signum's defeat at the hands of Fate since i know executive won't allow Fate to "lose" in this movie xDU.

The good: a new footage of Lindy crying when Clyde died. Also, what ranran said above.
The bad: Surprise surprise, despite them saying that some plot points must sadly be removed due to time constraints, the time-wasting slow-mo nekkid loli transformation scenes are still present. Ah yup, great priority, Tsuzuki. *sigh*

At least, Nanoha A's and beyond changed the transformation to be one time only per form to not waste your time. Usually they just do the instant transformation.
Just no pedo Movie 1st ones and it is fine. And for some reason Nanoha is a victim of that, Fate doesn't get that crap.

I doubt the movie would give much focus to that but at least a cool henshing sequence where the Wolks gear up for battle. The ones they had in the original A's were a bit too simple (specially that one where Laevatein tranforms into a stick which Signum holds and then her sword and Knight clothing emerges in a flash ...it was a bit low quality).
The ones in StrikerS were a bit more elaborated but still suffered of low quality animation in comparision with Nanoha/Fate/Forwards and they were also a bit off model. It's about time for the Wolks to finally get a decent henshin sequence xD
