ep 4-8 = wait can u pause i need to goto washroom
ep 9-13 = FK its 2am but wana finish this

i think a few of them ended up buying the dvds

Actually I really don't know why I started watching lol. I think I saw a pic somewhere of Fate^_^ so I looked it up. S1 started of slow and was kinda, "aw snag a sailor moon rip-off" but once Fate was introduced and her whole back-story I was like "OMG thats so sad *gives Fate hug^^* plus Nanoha has some of the best lines and 'faces' its so uber good. Now if someone could only make a Fate animated avi *points to sig thread and begins poking ppl to get to work on it ^^* I'd be set^^

My story of how I got started might be a unique one. You see, I was profoundly hurt after seeing a steaming pile of plot armor that is SEED DESTINY, and decided that I needed to getaway as far as I can from that genre, and just watch something that isn't going to be gut-wrenching, since I went through AIR my heart was pulverized beforehand. The first three episodes were exactly what the doctor ordered, but when Fate entered the fray, the story took off and I kept watching this... and thinking to myself if this really is a mahou shoujo, and so I was hooked...

I am starting to think about whether or not Hayate's the one that caused the task force to form and having her old friends working alongside her. It makes sense if Hayate is interested in climbing the ladder as these people are the ones that will be willing to get her there and to be trusted upon like no one else. (So Hayate's dreaming of taking the universe with her merry friends?)

Pppft, if only she knew that the Barrier Jackets were considered cosplay outside their ... space...

[LoweGear]

Oh, I can't imagine what WOULD happen if Hayate did manage to break the 4th wall... ot maybe she already has and she's just toying with us o_O

Well. the TSAB already has ships in the spaces between worlds. And since they have nice barrier fields to hide what they do, who knows ...
Not like there might not be a big fight over your home that you are unaware of thanks to a barrier right .....

I forget how I was introduced to Nanoha. I think it was this thread. It just grew too big for comfort (along side the RM:t thread, it was the second largest I knew) and I had to check it out. Wasn't particularly mesmerized. Then a friend offered to download the batch of it, and whee~ that was it.

Into the first few episodes of Nanoha I was thinking, argh this isnt for me; oh shit sailor moon. But then came episode 6.

[Lemon]

Someone on another Fourm posted a Subed version posted a .WMV version of episoded one that thier friend and such worked on (not sure if they posted it on Anime Suki) I was hooked, I came here to get more, and Torrented the first 3 subbed episodes by the Traid, Nanoha was my first Torrent ever.

Wah...I Disliked her at first for her appreance being close to my OC Mage, but I love Tiana now.

[LoweGear]

First intro to Nanoha... that Freedom Gundam vs. Nanoha video (The one where Nanoha not only kills Fllay but destroys Freedom with Starlight Breaker ). I think it was Raising Heart's "Starlight Breaker" engrish that got me interested. DL'ed the batch for the 1st season, and actually finished it in one sitting O_O So I moved on to A's, also finished that in a single sitting, and been a Nanoha fan ever since XD

Is there a video on this ? Would like to see it ....

[LoweGear]

For your viewing enjoyment:

Nanoha vs. Kira Yamato

[Deathkillz]

^ quick search could it be this?

Spoiler:

ahh i remembered when i first encountered nanoha ~ it was during the saimoe tournament ^_^ i could say that it was love at first sight seeing fate

edit: LoweGear beat me to it

[npal]

LOL, Nanoha is dangerous. Ah well, she made a new friend (if he's still alive )

[MeganeShounen]

Well, someone comparing Nanoha to "CCS with Gundam-caliber beam attacks" got me hooked, oddly enough.

Omake

Fate's turn
Final Plus

He'll live but he won't be doing very well.... Dog food

[Darco_emp]

i got no idea how i started, i think i saw ep1 at my local anime club and since i'm out of stuff to DL so i give it a try... and for some reason i cant drop the series after i started it.

[Nightengale]

I watched Nanoha and A's when they first aired, though I was but a mere lurker during it's time and I kinda didn't bothered myself to get into the discussions that were filled with Nanoha/Fate fanboyism. My favourite character in Nanoha-verse is Graham after all. Though SS discussions still is, the new characters and the move into the more-organizational based storytelling interest me moreso than Fate/Nanoha/Hayate version adult.

As much as it pains the Kira fan in me to watch that video, I'll say that it was well made. Besides, it got my crack creative juices rolling again. Great inspiration. As for the Shinn one... he'll run away before Nanoha's handshake offer.

Spoiler for Kira/Nanoha crack:

Kira : It's been a long time...Nanoha. *floating in Michilda space*
Nanoha : You're!! You're from that time....
Fate/Yuuno : You know him?
Nanoha : Erm...*nods* He is...my first....
Yuuno : Yo..your....fi...firs...first....*faints on the spot*
Fate : *Silence, but gripping Bardiche so tightly like her life depends on it.*
Nanoha : my first opponent that didn't become my friend. There was a 2nd too, but I think you terrified that one a little too much. Remember?
Fate : Oh...that one.
Kira : You're wrong. It's not that work, it worked too great. My feelings for you are now beyond friendship.
Nanoha : What?
Kira : Nanoha...I want...*thunder roars* to defeat you.
Nanoha/Fate : ............*they didn't hear it completely*
Fate : Did he just...confess to you?
Nanoha : Don't...don't joke about something like this!! Something like this is very sensitive to a girl's heart.
Kira : I'm not joking!! Ever since that day...there had not been one moment where I did not think about you... I need you.
Nanoha : Hey...hey...Yuuno, what should I do? This is the first time anyone had ever confessed to m...Yuuno?
Yuuno : *dropped down 200 feet following Nanoha's misunderstood shock*
Kira : Will you accept my challenge...Takamichi Nanoha?
Nanoha : Wait a minute...that's a little sudde....
Fate : She'll accept it!! And if she wins, you'll get lost and never appear before her again. Hmph!! Once she shows her true power, yours won't even be worth talking about!!
Nanoha : Wai...wait a minute!! How can you just accept that!! What is something goes wrong!? Or anything?
Fate : Don't worry...he and that previous guy are by definition real-types. Real types can never defeat super-types like us. That's a law of the world.
Kira : Hmm...It's best if you don't underestimate me. Just as I had obtained the power to transverse between worlds and dimensions, I too am no longer the same man you once defeated.

*Believer plays*

Kira : *summons Freedom Belt and Freedom Device* Command : X. 1.0.A... NATIVE ALTER!! OVERDRIVE!!! *combines Freedom Device with Belt*
Belt : KIRA YAMATO...HENSHIN. *Kira gets donned in a magical armour*

SHINE FREEDOM!!! or SHELL FREEDOM BULLET ULTIMATE!!! if you will.

[Chaos2Frozen]

Just visited ANN... Not sure if anyone posted this...

The opening song is named "SECRET AMBITION" by Nana Mizuki (Funny how it's always two words...)

Also, I realise that Amy's last name didn't change, it's still Limiette. Since they 'updated' Fate's last name, there shouldn't be any reason why her's still the same...UNLESS!! !!!

[LoweGear]

Taking the title with a grain of salt for now, since there's no source listed. Nonetheless, it does fit with the established song title convention of the first two OP's.

If Secret Ambition really will be the title of the OP, then it'll be a rather interesting title, since both OP's have had titles with corresponding lyrics that in ways refer to the characters in their respective series (IMHO, Innocent Starter could refer to Nanoha and Fate, and Eternal Blaze to the Wolkenritter). If so, Secret Ambition could very well be referring to the new characters.

And as for Amy... who knows, either the marriage has YET to happen, Amy's keeping her maiden name, or the entire deal's been called off ^^;;

[Chaos2Frozen]

You don't 'YET to happen' a wedding for 4 years =P

So it's either the second reason (but don't she still have to have a 'Haraoun' somewhere?), or I lose a very big bet! ^^''
