Very random question, but has the characters telepathic communication ever been touched upon? I'm curious about if there's a limit range to how far a person can speak telepathically to another.

For instance, if Fate is away on a mission in some far off world, would she still be able to speak telepathically to Nanoha/Erio/Caro etc?

I don't know if there's an actual answer to that, but just thought I'd ask.

We've seen examples of interdimensional conversations b/w the Wolkenritter. There's presumably a range limit somewhere but we hadn't seen it yet.

That's true, I had forgotten about those scenes from season 2. Thanks for the reminder.

Shamal seems to be able to spoof caller-id

Speaking of which, there's one thing I'd like clarified. Since asking at the 26 thread didn't get any response.

Spoiler for Episode 26:

Are Jail and his band of loyal-tans imprisoned in separate off-world prisons each (( I think I heard this, but I'm not sure )), are they together in one off-world prison, or is not it incited clearly? Since the traitor-tans are clearly in one isolation center together.

I need it for the OC thread...

Yes, well, technically Jail and the loyal-tans are imprisoned on a floating space-station, while the traitor-tans are imprisoned on a planet. The planet the space station is orbiting looked kinda dead, if I recall, while the one with the traitor-tans looked better from the windows.

Yup, the planet that the prison orbits seems similar to Mars, or at least similar to Europa, while the isolation center the other Numbers are kept is a floating facility in the middle of an ocean of sorts, with blue skies.

I know that they're prisoned separately. Those two groups. One is somewhere in some station floating over some world, and the other in the middle of Mid-childa's ocean.

My question was, are Jail and his loyal-tans prisoned individually in different off-world prisons (( since I heard something akin to that in the monologue )) or are they just prisoned in single cells in the same red-planet prison?

It's likely the latter based on how it was shown, but I'd rather some concrete sounding.

[Liingo]

I think that it's just one prison but I could be wrong..(not that fluent in jap)

I'm looking at the raw right now and while there's 3 shots of the outside of the prison along with the numbers in the pan shot, the colour of each of the shots look like they're from the same prison, just at different angles.

"taikou scaglietti to jiken sou sa i kyouroku no ishi mise na kata sentoukijin tachi wa sore zore betsu sekai no kidou kou shisho(jishou)"

-That's pretty much the dialogue during that pan if that helps at all (not entirely correct... but close to it).

Has it been answered yet? Well if it hasn't, they're individually imprisoned in planetary orbital cells. I hope i wasn't too late.

why does skag often say watashi? i find it a bit weird, does anyone else find it weird also?

Not really. Males can say watashi too. It's a polite way of saying "I", more so than "boku".

It's his proof of being a gentleman.

Watashi = "I" in formal.

The misconception is that only girls go 'Watashi' when referring to themselves. But the truth is, you'd find quite a lot of men in Japan using 'watashi' as a way to refer to themselves instead of the more informal and common 'boku' or 'ore'. It's for the sake of formality or plain preference in using a more dignified manner of speech.

I'm no expert but it seems that most, if not all, of the good things that fans like in StrikerS were the fanservices moments... Well, basically the entire season seems to be more fanservice driven.

[X207]

lol for me it wasnt GSD. one of the first series that came to my mind when i started watching strikers s was mai otome

[Chiibi]

I seriously want to watch this show because it's magical girl but I have to ask (and I'm sure it's been asked already) is Nanoha a yuri series? Because I've seen some pretty questionable images and seeing two nine-year-old girls kiss is a very disturbing thing to me....T_T;;

Or is it just fan-based?

Nanoha (especially strikers) has some scenes tat suggest shoujo ai, but you could just as easilly say that Nanoha and Fate are 'just friends'
