Nanoha is the best series in 2005 imo. It is so sad that it ended so fast. Even though I was happy to see the grown up verison of Nanoha, Fate, and Hayate, it significantly reduce the chance there would be a 3rd season.
Spoiler for ep#13 ending:
Since this is Christmas, I sincerely wish there will be 3rd season of Nanoha. There is so much materials to work with, and I just can't get enough of Nanoha, Fate, and kwaii Hayate. |

The Nanoha franchaise and fanbase is strong enough to warrant a sequal anyway, which makes season 3 logically plausable to tackle. Age shouldn't be a matter as Triangle Heart's protagonists are about the same age as Nanoha by the A's epsilogue (the large cast is another matter)
There's alot of things from Nanoha universe that can be developed more... such as interests with Alhazad, civilian friends of Nanoha uninvolved directly thus far, other organizations or elements inside the Time-space administration. The setting and backstory to Nanoha does allow for a deep story to evolve (copying space animes or Triangle Heart action). Nanoha has overstepped many axioms of Mahou Shoujo genre. I would not be surprised if the teenage Nanoha team comes back for more action. I think that even Ion Cannon vs. Starlight Breaker might happen at that point. Whatever it is, I want more Nanoha! (Ahh! It's the white demon!) |

Spoiler for Just in case, again:
Overall I'd say I enjoyed this season a bit more than the previous one. The Wolkenritter were awesome (especially Signum), and the battle scenes were great. Which does make me think that they blew all the production funding on those scenes, because a lot of the other animation sucked, hard. Like the first season, from a near-flawless first episode, the animation went downhill, bottoming out at around episode six, and then going back up (but not quite reaching the standards of the first ep). If they do make a Season 3, hopefully they address this issue. |

true true... it is possible to have terrific animation in 13 eps (look at AIR) but honestly there's nothing that beats a captivating plot and memorable characters. I totally agree with dkellis.
(I have to admit I seriously was looking for a way to crank up AA and aniso, adjust gamma, exposure when watching the raws because they're... sigh) I think we can, without doubt say that Nanoha has redefined Mahou Shoujo for this decade and we hope for even greater things to come along this path. A scary thought: Nanoha season 3 with KEY/VISUAL ARTS rendition. |

Actually another possibility for season 3 could be a school romance/comedy series like School Rumble. Nanoha, Fate, Hayate, Suzuka, and Arisa are the band of beautiful girls in class 3-C. Chrono and Yuuno transfer in and become the most eligible guys in class. The plot will revolve around the love love relationship among all the characters with Nanoha's heart as the ultimate prize.
Possible relationships Chrono <-> Amy, Fate, and Nanoha Yuuno <-> Nanoha Fate <-> Nanoha, and Signum Hayate <-> new love interest that needs to battle out with the Wolkenritter Knights to go out on a date with Hayate. Vita would guard Hayate jealously and smack any suitor with her magical hammer. Another twist to the plot could be Nanoha and the Space-time Administration gang trying to live a double life and have comedy moments when things dont go the way it suppose to.

Someone should make a Nanoha doujin cel-shaded fighting game. That would probably be the easiest. Or better yet, a Nonoha party-based RPG with two storylines. Collect Jewel Seeds either for the Time Administration Bureau or collect Linker Cores for the Book of Darkness. One can use the stat system suggested by Saedin_Casora, though I am unfamiliar with text or card based RPGs. (In fact, I really have no frikin clue what's going on in that forum) I would hope a battle system such as Grandia I / II can be used. |

well I think I meant the KEY character template. Then again Kyoko's outstanding job with AIR TV is something.
A Nanoha scroller could work well. What else... Nanoha + BF2/Q4 where you can fly, snipe, blast, fend against characters from Nanohaverse. You can buy component upgrades, cartriges, barrier jacket enhancements and familiar support. Deathmatch, capture the jewel seed, time race for linker cores, team boss mission... |

By "key character template" do you mean the art style or the design style for the characters/world? I dunno. To me Nanoha characters need massive waves of bangs that change sides inappropriately to how they're facing. Taking that away would be like having the Godannar guy do a loli anime.
That asside, I'm constantly infuriated that the marketing potential for this series is so massive and yet they make nothing but event-only items. Apart from the animayhem stuff, one of my other pet projects involves altering the guilty gear x2 sprite sets for Nanoha Mugen, as mentioned before. But truthfully cel shaded would be far better. Sprites are a pain and I really suck at it. Altering Rozen Mugen would be far easier but that game sadly really sucked. Too bad Imaterial and Missing Power or Melty Blood aren't easily altered. IaMP's system would work great with Nanoha due to it's complex dodge-and-weave gameplay. I mentioned it in the s1 topic but I had a dream that there was a Nanoha game played on some unknown console (the controller looked like a PS2 one only with six shoulder buttons and I think only one analogue stick. too long ago to remember) and it had the most amazing graphics ever, played like a faster-paced Z.O.E. and had an all-original story. It was a happy dream. But sadly it was one of those "can't see the screen but just know it's awesome" dreams. Spoiler for the end of ep13 stuff:
I'll also go for Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha: The Movie, all done in that hyper animation we see in the first episode of the first season. |

When did I come up with a stat-system? Ninety percent of everything I do is statless that APPEARS to HAVE stats ^^;;;
Which is really about the best way to go about things, but I'm just one opinion, really. Personally, I'd love to see ANY sort of game done with the universe, as long as it was done with a bit more then half an ass and was fairly good at holding attention... Sort of why I ended up trying to create a story based internet RP of my own. As for whether they'll do a third season, I simply say this. "Why the devil would they even show OFF teenage versions of the cast if they WEREN'T hinting towards another season? I mean, they've already got the Lolicons from the first 26 committed, and now they're going for the slightly more mainstream audience, with the addition of bishies and cute girls." Plus, Durandal and Lin Force, they're nifty designs, why only whip them out for the last two episodes? I rest my case |

... I don't really wish to know about teenage versions of the cast before it happens, so thanks for spoiling.
Going out of rant mode for a moment, I have to admit I'm in two minds about seeing Fate as a teenager. She's adorable as she is (my favourite character if that wasn't obvious), so I don't want that spoiled by seeing an older version... but then again I'm also intrigued to see how they portray her... hmm, guess I'll have to wait and see. |
