I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work either. Judging from the cast order, I'm expecting something like ViVid but with the "new character" being raised by Vivio and Reinhart. That would mean something far in the future where they can "conveniently" remove some of the older characters.

On the other hand, it's also entirely possible the series can invite an entirely new breed of fans. As for people like me who may never accept it, I'll be left behind, but at least the franchise lives on

As far as a reimagining goes, they already have the movies as a platform for such. This is either an AU from the manga, or a spinoff from it, like the Railgun manga was a spinoff from the Index light novels and now the Railgun anime is an extended canon of the Railgun manga.

I wouldn't mind if the girl in the picture was Vivio, this time being Nanoha's actual daughter. Still being the Sankt-Kaiser and all though.
If it's some sort of super hard reboot it'll feel too weird to watch, I think. Not crying over Nano or most likely also Fate, but weird enough. Wonder when we can expect actual info.

I think they probably gonna skip all the way to focus on the protege(s) of Vivio and Einhart instead, their family names being Reventon and Berlinetta. The character illustrated could be Einhart's protege, even Einhart herself? Her barrier jacket has a familiar color and style, the device looks like a white color Asteion. Not the best news for me because while I can still hope for more interesting characters and stronger plot, I was getting quite bored with the over representation of hand-to-hand combat style.

I think the character in the picture is a new character. I doubt they would change Vivio's looks (or Einhart's). That would be too weird. Besides, there are two names before Vivio and Einhart in the credits. Those two are probably the new main characters, and the girl in the picture is probably one of them.

I've been saying that repeatedly here: if Gundam can have every one of its spinoffs (including MS IGLOO that doesn't have the Gundam name on the title) be in the same subforum, why shouldn't Vivid Strike be in the Nanoha subforum where it belongs?

Well, 1) the Nanoha sub-forum has its own share of problems, and 2) we don't know for sure yet if this reboot/re-imagining/spin-off/whatever will soar or fall upon launch. For the moment, I'm going to wait and see. Depending on what it ends up being, even if does get a sub-forum, it may be better served with a fresh start.

We're not really asking for Vivid Strike to get its own sub-forum, and I highly doubt that it'll warrant one, we're just asking for this thread to be moved to the Nanoha forum since it's patently obvious that this is part of the Nanoha franchise, regardless of the lack of "Nanoha" in the name. It's not like the Nanoha forum itself is Retired, and there hasn't been any problems in there for a long while now - no rabid shippers and fans.
What's the use of having subforums if they're not being used to organize the stuff that should be there? Having Vivid Strike moved into the subforum would also make it more obvious that this is a Nanoha-related series, and not something that just has a similar name (see the initial short-lived confusion with Vividred Operation).

As a spinoff there's really no justifiable reason why it shouldn't have its discussion thread in the Nanoha forum. It's part of the franchise, and uses the characters already established in that franchise, in the same world established in the franchise.
If you are going to keep it separate, though, you could make an argument that every AU Gundam series (G, Wing, X, SEED, 00, etc) should have the same treatment and they should have their own forums or discussion threads outside of the Gundam forum. Gundam Build Fighters is DEFINITELY a traditional spinoff series, and doesn't even feature actual Gundams or mobile suits, but plastic models of such. But even that was kept in the Gundam forum. So why keep ViVid Strike! out of the forum of the franchise that spawned it?

If we're assuming the Vivid cast is the same one from the manga.
They could use the fact that Nanohaverse is a multiverse/timeline setting. They could just wisk away the Vivid cast to alternate timeline where original cast doesn't exist because "lol lost logia". That way you can immediately justify the lack of any of the original cast characters and keep all focus on Vivio and the gang. No killing off characters or timeline skipping involved. Would it be the most interesting? I don't know but it'd probably be the "safest". |

To be fair, it happened also on other franchises and games (not necessarily Japanese ones) so it's not only an "otaku" (I wish we could stop using that term) thing.

The only worse situation I can imagine would be killing Fate on screen and I doubt they're that crazy. They should just let the franchise die, the way I see it. |
