Nanoha - StrikerS - Episode 02 Discussion / Poll

[Chaos2Frozen]

@Aaron008R
Hahaha! Recognition at last!
(But I think I messed up the first story , but two out of three ain't bad )

@Nightengale
If it makes you feel better, I believe the twins should still be able to make an appearance. Especially since a good amount of the story is about training, wouldn't be too out of place to get them to train Eri- I mean, the 4 of them... In the art of magical 'combat'...

Season 2

1. Stinger Blade Execution Shift (Has the slickest name imo)
2. Struggle Bind
3. Eternal Coffin

... So, I'm expecting only 3 moves this time round as well

Hmmm... nitpicky and all, but after rewatching Nanoha a few times, I imagine that Snipe Shot is just a fancy name for Chrono controlling and redirecting Stinger Snipe (notice that when he says it, the previous Stinger Snipe he launched is the one that executed the move). After all, Stinger Snipe is supposed to be S in accuracy.

I'd know that reality is cruel and the world prefers seeing pleasing-to-the-eyes-young people doing all the field work, but seriously, Graham should be there on person to pass down the torch to Hayate, even if it means his death. Graham needs to show that his old bones can still do the strut. My biggest grip with A's was how Hayate never met Graham in person.

I want greenlight on Mahou Shonen Classical Graham!

I know your pain. Who knows, maybe Graham may show up yet in his old interdimensional battleship, Wave Motion Guns and Yamato Cannons blazing for the final showdown...

"Shields Up, Weapons Online!"

Anyways, I'm hoping that Hayate at least meets Graham once during StrikerS, and lives up on his promise to tell her what he wanted to reveal, especially concerning the Book of Darkness.

Perhaps it has already happened. After all, it was shown in the A's epilogue that Hayate told Shamal to send pictures to Graham-san. But then, perhaps she still doesn't know. Though I highly doubt that she would not read about her own case in the archives of TSAB. All details should be there, including Graham's involvement. Perhaps we could get a flashback.

Finally, a better quality version of Episode 2 appears to have been posted.

I'm curious to know why it has been so difficult to locate good RAWs. Has StrikerS gone unpopular without us knowing about it? Are the RAW-providers mainly "Lolicons" who are protesting the "ageing" of the Triumphant Trio?

Curiouser and curiouser.

[Darco_emp]

I would think that, due to the narture of the location of first airing location, there is no resource to make a great capture, and after that there just seems to be no HD raws at all... and forcing us to settle with current MQ releases by all parties

Loner: You can't post links to raws here.

And from comments like this:

dang it... another song and dance bit trying to get a good quality of this... just like last week, it's like LQ-MQ... HD later..

I think I will still wait.

It's still a little baffling why we're getting worse quality raws than the last episode's.

[moyism]

yea... don't ask me why the quality sucks (the one I posted is still service-able)... tis the first actual decent RAW I could find.

Apparently it takes a few days, at least for Nanoha, for a *good* raw to come out.

EDIT: here's a quick cap of the quality:

I just don't want to go through watching FLVs again

ehh it is pretty decent actually, at least my eyes are not bleeding while watching this compared to LLQ version earlier. It is about the same quality as ep1 LQ version , some parts in the middle a little bit lower though.

.[*]First breast-grab joke in Nanoha's history? Fortunately, Caro took it in her stride and did not degenerate the scene into a typical ecchi slap-stick routine. Yay for subversions!

Cheers.

Spoiler:

I hereby dub Fate's Car the 'Fate-mobile'! She's got the sidekick, now all she needs is an obnoxious yet catchy theme song when she get's into the car......

Well at least Erio has got his priorities straight, chase girls now, save the world later

[dahl_moon]

Well, I haven't seen LLQ yet, but I'm pretty happy with the MD quality. Episode 2 mostly sets things up; explaining the current situation. Favorite moments:

Spoiler for Episode 2:

• Nanoha: "I was a bit surprised about the "Buster" part."
  Subaru: "!!!! I'm terribly sorry!" (guess Subaru's "Buster" was a Nanoha imitation
• Bardiche had some English lessons, too!
• I agree with Skane. Fate's coolness wins over Nanoha's sheer power.

Anyway, the censorship level seems rather weak in this episode... You'll know when you see it

[johnjefferson3]

i find it amazing that elio's arm peice is a watch but as soon has he sees carol just about to fall forward on the escalator, the watch must be intelligent since it says sonic move outloud and it also displays that mesage on the watch itself, and elo can instantly move real fast even without even changing his clothes, in fact he move so fast, he more than counteract the gravity of carol's falling motion and lifted her back up past the beginning of the escalator, when i saw it it was simply amazing the techonlogy has really advanced in just 10 years, and then a few moments later we get to see carol familar dragon, he is a little rugged strong looking dragon with some fighting spirit, even has a cute horn-ring (but shaped like a human nose-ring)so he can make a visual impact for sure!!!! i can not wait to so see him do some great or nasty litle things, this guy might put that little reinfore in her true proper place since i think he can handle her!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!! i am glad they put this in the end of epsiode 2 since it balanced all the serious part in the beginning of the episode when they showed all the aces saving people and taking down the fire, with the aces, and then the next day, the same aces in the same bed after they used all their engey from the day before for the middle of the epsiode, so i can not wait until we see episode 3!!!!!!!!

[CanonRap]

Don't know why, but it amuses me to no end that Strada's 'civvie mode' is a watch.

The first male in Nanoha who actually likes girls?

At this rate, Elio wll probably end up being the most hated character in StrikerS.

Whoa whoa whoa!

What do you mean by "The first male in Nanoha who actually likes girls?" I find that extremely offensive

...In other news:

Sonic Move: Saving falling girls since 2007. (Warning: recommended age 15+, might cause embarrassing awkward moments...)

Jokes aside, I'm starting to like this kid already

EDIT:

I notice something about Hayate's freezing technique, unlike Chrono's Durandal Hayate has to spend some time casting her spell, while Eternal Coffin flash freezes it.

(Oh yeah, and Teana bullying Subaru was pretty cute as well )

You forgot Nanoha's oniichan.

...Yeah, while we're at it, there's also the unnamed kid who got caught in the lost logia in season 1, episode 3.

I forgot about that.

In any case, in episode 1, we saw Nanoha use Divine Buster in the flashback, and then saw Subaru use Divine Buster later on. In episode 2, we saw Fate use Sonic Move in the flashback, and then saw Elio use Sonic Move later on. I wonder if something similar will happen in the next episode.

[Jellyfish Marine]

OMG, Elio's in this episode!! I think I'm crying the tear of pain...there's no way I can watch the raw unless someone post it youtube or divxTT-TT. And to think that I'm in Japan,...sigh.

Anyway, from the screenshot, I found the trio's WORKAHOLIC bed post to be rather amusing yet cute (esp. Rein-chan >w<) I'm now looking forward to see Fate's Cool Rescue and my dear Elio's infamous movement

Oh dear, and I thought I had quited Shotacon-cult years ago. Why do you have to drag me back into that darkness, Elio-kun?

ElioxCaro~~ >w<!!
