Tsuzuki: Oh really? (Laughed)

Looks like Tsuzuki himself is surprised to find that Signum actually have a fanbase xDU ...well at least he finally notices xDU.

Also looks like he's somehow cheering for the Huckebein, i think he's having fun with all of this, that sick bastard xDU.

I can't photoshop like you two do, so yeah, not me at all.

If my memory doesn't fail me I think it's Takamura Mamoru who did it though.

Last boss? Does that mean she is too hard to defeat??? *Thinks of a HP more than Dark Brain* T.T

Btw Fate's 1st weapon look like some robot in Gunbuster?(Anyone knows?)

2nd one:No explaination is needed

[Akiyoshi]

How curious is the fact that Bardich'e new "double blade" mode higly resembles Laevatein's pre-Bogenform when fuses with his scabbard and becomes a double-bladed Laevatein for a moment.

That remind me, if Laevatein receives Bardiche's treatement, the perfect compliment to it(from Signum's unseen CW weapon) it's a new scabbard with upgraded defense/ofense systems(if you think a sacabbard is irrelevant just ask Saber and her mighty scabbard "Avalon").

Sure but not one with two "head".

Does Vivid also had this kind of interview?

Considering what once happened to Hideaki Anno, one must wonder just how many of those emails contains death threats

Higa: There were also strong feedbacks when Hayate showed up. Probably it is because of her hairstyle change, as well as her rapid promotion.

I thought Hayate remains a Lieutenant Colonel between StrikerS and Force? Love the hairstyle, though

Tsuzuki: Moreover, from the perspective of Touma and the Hückebeins, she is the last boss to them. (Laughed)

The last boss here probably means "as long as she's not defeated, more will come" rather than "her hitpoints is over 9000"

well, more like they share a common enemy. not that he knows that his pseudo-family is after his ass now anyways, albeit reluctantly. all he knows is the bureau is after him, not who in the bureau.

What? Are you blaming a 5 ou 6 years old girl for crying while her father is on the verge of death and her familly threaten to fall appart at any moment? :/
The whole point of the chapter is to show how Nanoha overcame this dramatic event and decided to become stronger, hence not being "emo" anymore.

I can understand that people prefer to see their heroines "strong&cool", but it's not a bad thing to show that they are still human. Right?

[Demi.]

Every time someone cries in movie manga, someone else has a bitchfit... it's nothing new, lol.

Srsly though, they're tryin to be friends, (well, Nanoha is) right? Why so angry looking in battle.

This battles so long, the only foreseeable end is for them to both pass out and Nanoha to end up in Feito's arms.

...Also, sew -- wats Nanoha planning to do with that Canon mode/o?

You guys are looking at the different thing, though.

"Magic(al)" should be removed, since the fights (current ones, anyway) no longer focus on the magical aspect which actually was one of the defining aspects of the series and are leaning heavily towards ... I don't know, who has a bigger gun/spear/axe/blade or something. Magic is still involved, but the role it plays has been downgraded so much that it seems more like a war of technology now.

Let me guess? Mega Particle Cannon(Divine Buster)?
Hope it is not a Twin Buster Rifle(a.k.a Starlight Breaker)...

That's part of the reason why I cringed at the whole mecha shoutout and slow shift to sci-fi. Not like I dislike sci-fi. But the whole arm race have been done at the expense of the "magical" part of the franchise. And no, we don't need pointy hats, robes and more fireballs of different shapes and colors. Unexplored magic domains could have been fine too! You know, shit like necromancy (what would you think of investigators trying to get the last minute of a dead with a ritual?), geomancy, rituals, expansion on the whole field of illusionary magic, or manipulation of shadows, mind manipulation, and anything you could either see in heroic fantasy games like Dungeons & Dragons or in modern fantasy like White Wolf's Mage. Shit that would make mages feel like MAGES, and not just girls with gigantic boom sticks.

[Arkeus]

pff, most of those are there, they just may not be in big neon pink.

Marriage as Mind Control and Necromancy (or maybe Artifical Mages for that one), Acous or Reinforce Ein showed us a bit of Mind Reading, Rituals and Geomancy both were talked about....

Yeah, those could be used more in warfare onscreen, but that's just a matter of what is shown more, not what is there....

[MeisterBabylon]

Doesnt help that all those examples are examples of banned techniques of magic as well...
