Well, I know for a fact Amazon Prime UK is streaming it (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fuuka-Reven...s=vivid+strike) but I was wondering if someone over the US was.

I understand that for a starter with no previous magic knowledge, intelligent device is very helpful on processing the user's thoughts into magic.
However for a systematically trained mage, shouldn't storage devices be a better choice? Storage device suppose processes magic faster with the downside requires the user to weave their own magic instead of having the device compute it for them, but that should not be a problem for properly schooled mages. |

Intelligent devices can get higher performance than their specs would suggest if the mage and device are in sync so storage devices aren't necessarily faster.

About Vivid Strike!
1) Why an orphanage the Saint Kaiser Church is heated with woods? 2) Why rich Berlinetta family uses car, which looks like it was grab from Earth(General Motors Company, if I'm not mistaken)? 3) Why instead of hi-tech pop-up screens, Rinne(and others) uses a cellphone? Yes, I know that Lindy in MGLN TV-2 also used a cellphone, but it is to communicate with Fate, who had no access to the "inter-dimensional admiral channel"(Lindy-Leti). 4) Bandit biker from episode 1 used a shock gun(physical damage), but it's forbidden on Mid? This hi-magi-tech world after all. About MGLN A'S 5) That Shamal recorded on Earth, as the foster mother(guardian) Hayate, it is true or fan made? 6) Why Starlight Breaker, which is launched by Reinforce Eins, not erased Uminari? As in Nanoha Movie 1st. It is a mistake of the authors? Or made for beauty? Last edited by Vice Granscenic; 2017-02-26 at 06:41. |

Basically the answer to most of these about ViVid Strike is that the crew making it no longer cares for the idea of futuristic magitech society that was established by the first two seasons and shown in the third one, and has been backpedaling away from it HARD ever since. This is why Crangan essentially looks like older sections of Tokiyo and everyone and their dog uses chopsticks.
Also Strike seems to have been made in a way to be approachable to wide audiences who are not aware of the Nanoha-verse lore and as such it will use tropes that are common and expected to the average viewer even if it's not supported by lore. Quote:

So I don't have a problem with that thing. Hell had the season gone in the dirrecton of Fuka busting a gang that was starting to get armed with such physical weapons we would have gotten something much more interesting. Not any more it seems. Now it's a world entirely populated by lolis who are there for shallow fan service and anything smelling of SF has been ejected through an airlock and the ship was rammed into the sea. Ahh back to talking about something much more sensible. Quote:
Also for all intents and purposes Hayate considers the Wolkenritter her children. Quote:
In fact it's a plot point that somehow accidentally Arisa and Suzuka got pulled into the barrier dimension too despite not being magically capable and so Nanoha and Fate had to reveal themselves to them. Also the damage in the barrier dimension was a limited probably due two things. 1st is that the Starlight Breaker specifically (and compression magic spells in general) works by collecting spent mana that is saturating the battlefield. Therefore it's yield is directly proportional to the amount of mana that has been recently spent. This means that at the end of a long fight between two strong mages, when the battlefield is thick with spent mana, it's devastating. On the other hand at the start of the fight it's yield can be really limited (which nicely explains why Nanoha doesn't start every fight with it and why it's nearly unstoppable at the end of the fight). At the point when Reinforce cast it there has hardly been any fighting and so there was not a lot of spent mana laying round. 2nd unlike Nanoha's SLB that is a concentrated beam (unlike what was shown in the Movie, on the other hand by the time of Vivid she did learn how to attack multiple targets with it). Reinforce on the other hand seems to have modified the spell so as to better fit her fighting style and now it was a wide are attack, which inevitably meant it's damage density was lower. I think they do mention this in the booklet dictionaries that came with the season DVDs Also do keep in mind that the movies exist in a separate universe so things shown in them do not necessarily reflect into the main continuity. For example the effects of magical attacks have been Michael Bayed, especially the Starlight Breaker |

I think your best bet would be Dynasty Scans.
Allthough IMO cursory glance never revealed anything interesting to me. IMO I find the writting in the fanfics on this board written during the golden age to be superior to anything in doujins.

I have some questions that I want to ask
1) What's the status of mass weapons like Earth's firearms, artillery, missiles, etc. in the Administrated Worlds? Are they completely banned or allowed under certain conditions? 2) Is TSAB a military force with police duty or police force with shiny toys? 3) Has it ever stated how Olivie Sägebrecht ended the Saint King Unification War with the Saint's Cradle? Does she destroyed all warring factions and forced them to make peace with each other? 4) Why is the TSAB is filled of nepotism, cronyism, and favoritism? 5) Does the JS Incident caused political turmoil in the Administrated Worlds, considering the TSAB is unable to stop a massive attack in the capital world? 6) Why so many cultures in the Administrated Worlds look like Earth's, like that one time when Vivio and co. visited China-like world? |

But really we don't know much more than Cradle was likely invovled and whatever she did made peace by breaking the Belkan Empire forever in such a way that the remaining Belkans basically became refugees and Belka (through her actions or previous events) is now an unlivable wasteland. Quote:
The only real possible case might have been the bit with Chrono serving on, or having it as his cariage, his mother's ship. But meh to that. If you are reffering to Hayate's meteoric rise, she actually seems to have been climbing ranks at the same pace with the other two or slightly quicker since she was 1st Captain in 71 while Nanoha was 2nd. So one rank in difference. In StrikerS she is 2nd commander and Nanoha is 1st captain and so 2 ranks of difference. My opinion is that she was promoted to 3rd commander at about the same time Nanoha became 1st captain but she was then jumped one rank higher just to be able to command an independent experimental unit and be the fall girl if the experiment blew up. Quote:
I don't doubt that there was a bit of a purge going on after it all went down, given that the attack was stopped BEFORE it did practically ANY damage by the combined Sailing Force, Air Armaments Service and Ground Armaments Service personnel, I don't see them not being able to spin this however they wanted it. Evil Big Bad Mass Weapon Scientist tried some shit and got stomped despite having a Belkan WMD. Because Vivid is trash and MT is a hack? But yeah Japanification of the Nanohaverse in Vivid and later is pissig me off.

But at least it's for greater good. The favoritism is on how younger mages can gain rank faster than older mages or non-mages if they've higher mage-rank than normal. Isn't that kind of thing could caused resentment? Quote:
Hopefully it won't make someone to do another attack on the TSAB. Quote:
Also, I have other questions: 1) Has it ever stated whether or not Thoma Avenir is actually a psychopath? That could explain how Thoma could be surprisingly friendly to the Huckebein; he doesn't have any sympathy to the victims and merely pretend that to fit the society around him. 2) Does Adult Mode used by Vivio and Einhart caused some...hormonal imbalance? 3) How come the TSAB child soldiers are more mentally stable than Earth child soldiers? 4) Because the Numbers destroyed the Einherjar cannons when the Saint's Cradle starts to fly, does that mean those cannons could damage the ship? If so, why Hayate doesn't use her strongest spell against the ship? |

Also are you referring to Acous? We never really see him investigating Hayate. He has no reason to do so, and as part of the HQ he was more interested what local GAS was doing. Quote:
And I don't think the less capable mage people are barred from high offices. I mean Regius is a poster boy for that. He climed that stairway solely on his ability. Quote:
And in reality this attack was only REALLY possible not because Jail is some Machiavellian orchestrator and such, but because he de-facto was part of TSAB and had access for decades to all kinds of shit. The events in StrikerS really were an internal thing. Quote:
Then again IMO he was cribbing stuff from the corect sources to about StrikerS, when it kinda started to crack a bit, and fell apart in Vivid and kinda in Force. Quote:

As for Hayate not using strong spells, well she is strong but she is still not fleet of battleships strong. Also there was an innocent on board and it isn't in the TSAB MO to shoot vessels containing victims and ask questions later. And her Unison Device was not with her, but with Signum, and she had her hands filled commanding a cordoning of the Cradle so no drone escapes it. She was relying on her strike team to disable the ship and evacuate everyone. Then again I never got why they didn't try to take out the engines or turets and such to make the life easier on them. Blame MT I guess.
