Well, that's mostly what I thought, although I'm probably a little more lenient with my scoring system, so 7/10 is my staple rating for the better than average, but nothing special.

There's a difference between climax and epilogue, like how S1's climax was the defeating Precia with the bridge scene as epilogue, the StrikerS climax was the various battles ending with the destruction of the Cradle. The last episode with the disbanding of RF6 and the final mock battle was the epilogue.

Eh, well just wrong wording on my part, though tbh, not sure if Archon_wing was referring to Fate's final lines before Precia fell into the abyss, or the bridge scene. I'm assuming he means both.

Partly I'm willing to give the first season some slack, and especially the first episodes, since the series was new and trying to find its feet. And also, I kinda see it as paying homage to its magical girl roots, before it starts going off in a different direction.
With the series so far along now, I expect better. StrikerS seemed to start a bit slow, although on rewatch it's not too bad; still, I would have moved up the action a bit more, probably. I really liked the ending of it. And I expected much better from a movie, for reasons I've gone into before. But like I said, I understand the money-making aspect; make something for cheap to rake in the cash. Most series and universes go through this eventually. And at least I have Force and fanfiction, heh. |

Ah, I watched it. I've seen the first season more than once so fortunately the lack of subs wasn't too in the way...
Spoiler for wall 'o text review:
Overall, I'd say somewhere between a 7 or an 8, rounded to 8 for the purpose of the poll. It's main weakness is of course that it's basically the same story and the new content added in could have been paced better, but it was still a good watch and I was never bored which I can't say the same for the series. If you couldn't sit through the first few episodes of the first season and want to be introduced to the Nanohaverse, the movie is a viable alternative; chances are for those that didn't like the first few episodes wouldn't really miss anything that's gone from this movie. In most cases, I could tolerate the missing parts because of the nature of the movie format. and that more was gained overall. So it's certainly not as all around as the series, but it does the job as a "better", prettier, and more streamlined version of the first season.

What is this I see? An objective review in the AS-Nano movie thread?
Just going to comment on one thing - Quote:
I'd say if it were in pieces, that could work, but wouldn't several scenes in the middle of a battle be more disruptive than one long(er) scene that is transitioned as Fate is trying to break through Nanoha's barrier?

So, I decided to give the camrip another shot today, mostly because a friend of mine was hanging out in my dorm and was curious about the series. I got as far as Nanoha becoming Raising Heart's master before I lost total interest in it and closed it again. It's really very hard to stay interested in the movie when it starts out exactly as season one did, with only a few changes; really raises a feeling of, "Why am I watching this when I've seen it before?"

From your first interpretation, I had a feeling the first part of the movie was similar to the first season with a few changes. So if I was going to give the movie a test run without spoiling myself when the higher quality and subs came out, I tried a different part later on (Fate and Nanoha's first encounter).
The events or the results are not going to change, but the scenes or events leading up to the same result might change which could give me a reason to watch the movie. If the scenes or the events in the movie (including the battle scenes) were an exact copy of the first season, I might not show as much interest in the movie.

What makes it so bad for me is that the first half of the movie seems to be a complete telling of season one, exactly as it was. I know that it changes a little bit beyond that, but it's hard to convince myself to get that far when the beginning is so hard to stay interested in.

However, your friend that is curious could probably make use of the movie. (When it comes out in HD of course) Maybe you could watch it together, I dunno.

That's part of the reason why I got through it as far as I did, at least until she started studying bio. It's easier to stay interested in it when I'm watching it with someone else, especially someone who doesn't know anything about the series.
