Not to mention I think she's voicing 2 or 3 more other characters like Lutecia...and Sette, I think. So, there's clearly no problem. They just want to get rid of the old-supporting cast even though they're stronger and better than these 'Forwards'. Probably for fresh new dimensions in the story, on a ground-stuck basis. I think it's obvious they want to get rid of Zafira too, but felt that it was too unreasonable to remove anyone from the Wolkenritter line-up, so they went a different way, shaft him as badly as they can in wolf-form.

The show is also suffering from cast overload, right now we have five groups: Good: a) Original gang b) Subaru/Teana/Ginga c) Caro/Erio d) Riot 6 support staff+Saint Church Villin: e) Numbers/Jail <<Similar to 2nd season but with head of group evil. f) Lutecia/Zest <<Try to revive her Mom, reverse of season 1. g) TSAB higher ups/brains <<Dark history leading to the rise of TSAB. For a third season it should be: A+E A+G <<gang finds some dark secret of TSAB and now is on the run and has to redeem self. Does not have to be (E) related. AB+E AC+F CD+F <<Spin-off: Hayate/knights take (C) under their wing with with Nanoha/Fate only occasional appearances. Else there's too many people to work with, usually this is a good thing as you get more plot lines to expand upon but if your writers are incompetent (which the writers of Strikers clearly are) in that case it will have the reverse effect where they get overwhelmed/confused and instead do very little. Add short plot to a 26 ep format and you end up with the disaster that is Strikers. Last edited by Hypernova; 2007-09-12 at 08:11. |

I think the first of their mistake beyond the vague inconsistent fanservice is that they just recycled season 1 and 2. Who wanted to get another dig at al hazard, clones and lolis fighting for her mother? |

Just to take our attention from MGLN StrikerS bashing for a bit (I'm joining the side that wants a dedicated MGLN Post-Mortem/Criticism thread)...
How many people think that Regius is actually rather ignorant of the real situation of the Navy. He thinks that all the good mages are grabbed by HQ and the Navy and they are disproportionately endowed with elite mages. Superficially this is true, until you think of it a different way: He has Zest, a rank S. If we assume he has no other S- or at least AAA-ranks, he already has 1 elite mage for a planet. That's not bad. The Navy looks like it has 1 elite mage per company/ship, so it looks like a much higher concentration, but given the area they cover and the enormous (not) number of high-ranking mages we saw in totality, they might well be averaging out at much less than 1 elite mage per planet, so Regius is hardly being shafted at all here! |

Hmm...
Ground Forces probably has the highest density of forces in the entire TSAB, countered by the fact that most of them suck ass, that B-rank itself is rare among grunts. On the other hand, the more elite Air/Navy would probably have less members overall, but are more elite in concentration. Weren't all those Athra mages fly-swatted by Precia in S1 all A-ranks?

In any case, A is as good as B (that is to say, almost useless), when it comes to something really important - one S+ is plenty of compensation! |

Something's still bugging me.
How Jail can stop Fate's Riot Zamber with his bare hands? And not cut his hands off completely. After watching this ep, it seems to me that combat cyborgs aren't all that great and have little to no advantage over a similarly-level mage. |

Wasn't the idea by Combat Cyborgs was that once the tech is safe enough, it'd be mass-producible? And it's not like they're hindered by requirements of being a mage and all that.
If 1 in 10 Combat Cyborg specimens has Tre's level of performance, that's already a very good bargain, considering that AAA-S rank mages are like 1 in thousands. Not to mention with whatever possible h4xx-inducing ISes... one-trick-ponies, they are, but they can be very effective so long as they're not looking to be replacement for versatile mages.

Wow, lots of complaining in this thread. -_-;;
Mmm... Sonic Form... needs more skirt though. Also, someone said something about an anti-ship sword. Layet Mode, anyone? Despite animation problems, and maybe too much talking, I quite enjoyed this episode. Also, why can I see a flood of Scaglietti Baseball/Golf flashgames popping up on the net soon? Finally, while I share some of the misgivings about the season with some of the other posters (bad pacing, etc), in the end I still enjoyed this season for what it is: entertainment. Quote:

On Tenka Seiha, someone pointed out something I missed. What shame... Quattro doesn't have those straps on her face. Then again, when I checked, I realized neither does Uno or Cinque. Though I assume there is no meaning behind this... *yawn*... Maybe because those three are important? Uno=#1 Cinque=A missing/hidden factor Quattro=Final boss? Or it's the good doctor's tastes... |

There is another thing bug me. Nove, at first few scenes, looks like very special among numbers so I expected she should be at top-tiers or have rare skill among numbers. And it turn out she lost to Sabura in the assualt of Ground Headquater, then lost to Teana in a battle almost 3 to 1 (if take Vice out). I really do not understand why she behave an be treated so special at beginning.

EDIT: Confirmed with the official bios. The general ability to materialise paths in the air is called 'Air Liner' (LOL), while Nove's possession of that ability would be her IS, 'Break Liner', probably renamed to combine with her ability to smash stuff up a la Subaru. |

Well, I know that her Wing-Road rip-off is Air Liner, but I'm not exactly sure what her IS, Break Liner ACTUALLY does.
So, Nove's overall ability (( Air Liner + Gun Knuckle + Jet Edge mastery aka Shooting Arts rip-off )) = Break Liner?
