OMG, Einhart's accepted the Harunyan nickname for general use! Given the way this mess is working with this franchise we may never see the moment when she receives said nickname, but it's still wonderful.
Oh hey, Sieg spotted in the OP! I still love you, Sieg!

We don't have a clear picture of everything yet. Right now we don't actually know the exact date, although extra materials tell us this is set about a year after Vivid. But Vivid hasn't ended yet. We don't know how long it lasts, and what happens in it. We don't know exactly how long a time period this "about a year" is. We don't know exactly when Einhart won her champion title, or if she competed in the same tournament that Rinne was in. In fact, that may not even be the Inter-middle tournament, since the Inter-middle accepted up to 19-year-olds. There are too many pieces missing for us to get the details clear right now.

Well here is a gtranslate of the world entries on the official site fi anyone is intrested. And about both Rinne and Einhart being champions in the last entry atleast if gtranslate is accurate enough there is a winter and spring tournament atleast maybe? So probably different tournaments a more proper translation could say for certain though.

You know what...I thought that was a good start.
Fuka is the kind of lead I can get behind. Right now her goal is pretty straight forward and understandable. Really the only person in the world she considered family became lost to her and she just kind of spiraled into a mess as a result. Her focus for getting stronger was shattered. The person she wanted to protect becoming stronger than her wasn't even really the problem. It was that she appeared to become a stranger who represented everything she wanted to protect her friend from. Obviously there is something going on as to why Rinne did all that. She's still that person inside. For whatever reason....she thought it was a good idea to break her best friend's heart. I'm sure she thought it was necessary to keep that attitude going. Regardless...ouch. Talk about a brutal introduction to the main cast. Getting systematically beaten to a pulp by all of them .

Well, there certainly wasn't any time wasted in making clear this is a sports anime, or getting to introduce everything and everyone, which is probably for the best, since its probably assumed you already know most of the cast.
It does feel like a better sports anime than vivid already; story seems standard, but it gets to the point, animation is ok, Fuka turned out to be a nice character, and I like her voice. Oh, hi, Sieg! I actually didn't expect to see you here. All that said Spoiler for Spoiler:
I mean, come on, the series' tag line is all about protecting, not everything can be super duper fun times in here. Quote:
...and it seems Yumina is also from the manga. Good thing vivid isn't plot heavy, or I'd be lost And speaking of Yumina, wow Vivio, you're losing terrain FAST |

That was a pretty solid first episode. My only major issue is that it feels a little awkward to watch this after where the Vivid anime left off. I mean, it feels like I watched half-way through this show's predecessor, and am now jumping into this new show having missed key details from the 2nd half of this show's predecessor. In other words, there's a big plot gap in my personal head-canon, and it is a little frustrating to me.
It doesn't help that... Quote:
Still, Fuka is a good lead character so far, and her personal background is a refreshing change of pace from Vivio's (and Nanoha's before Vivio). The action scenes are also well-presented. In addition to the above, I pretty much agree with Requiem-X's post.

Ok maybe I've got the Under 15 champion figured out. Einhart is the current world champ for that age group. But currently Rinne's point totals has her ranked #1 in the world in that age group. So she's at the top, but she hasn't won a specific tournament that would place her as the current champion.
Since it sounded less like they were saying that Rinne is the champ, but rather she is just ranked #1. Normally I'd consider that the same thing, but then nothing would make sense . If nothing else I do like the background and personality for Fuka. She does provide a breath of fresh air as a lead in the show.

With Rinne we can conclude that perhaps the tournament she's involved in is still ongoing, or perhaps that the competitions she's involved in right now, in which she is the top-ranked fighter for her age group, are not the same as the tournament that Einhart won to become named the world champion.

Well, guess it depends on how the ranking's done, and how much the championship affects the rankings. Heck, even in real-world sport, it's possible for a non-champ team to be the #1 team. |

It is, it's just grown increasingly non-standard. If you watched the OP near the end of the episode you'll have seen a few of the girls activate their barrier jackets, which is still an all-out magical girl transformation. But the Nanoha series has always been about friendship forged through combat. StrikerS shifted it more towards a military direction than a magical one (although the magic had always been magitech, really, Strikers just drove that home a bit more), and the young generation in Vivid and Vivid Strike are currently living in a time of peace that their parents brought them in the previous seasons, so they're using their powers in sports events and tournaments rather than to save the world.
