Mahou Girl Lyrical Nanoha The MOVIE 1st, Expectations and Speculation

[NorthernFallout]

Although I know that's "fanservice" directed at males on the anime market, I surely don't agree with them. It's ridiculous most of the time lol

That's my guess, anyway.

Recall that the original demographic of nanoha is those boys.

Ah, right, right. I forgot about that. So yeah. Fanservice and flashy fights for the boys.

[Tempy]

StrikerS was all about the boobies.

Now that we're back to the first season with loli's, PANTSU.

[NorthernFallout]

Pantsu, boobies and beamspam.

I'm so ashamed of myself.

Sex sells, those of us who don't need or don't like the fanservice are a minority, I assure you.

*Also hands head in shame. *

Pink death beams shouldn't make me smile nearly that much.

[Demi.]

A back view makes things look cooler.

[RadiantBeam]

In that case, any and all pantyshots are completely accidental and it isn't the viewer's fault if they catch themselves staring at an underaged girl's backside.

[Demi.]

They're all momentary too, so unless you're focused in on them, you can easily overlook most, if not all pantyshots.

Henshin sequence, however, is for those quick to miss.

[RadiantBeam]

It always creeped me out a little how Nanoha and Fate both had full length transformation sequences when they were only nine. Same with Caro and Erio in StrikerS, being only ten years old.

[Demi.]

Eh, they hide the nipples, there really Isn't much wrong with it from my view. It's not like it exploits little children or something.

Whats a Mahou Shoujo without a naked transformation?

[Noe]

Fate's transformation sequence in the movie is the one I'm most looking forward to.

[RadiantBeam]

I know, but still. It just... made me uncomfortable since they were just kids, not even in their early teens like the girls on Sailor Moon and Tokyo Mew Mew.

[MeisterBabylon]

...this long discussion reminds me why even though A's got me started, it was StrikerS that got me off my bum...

Honestly I think I'd love anything sung by Nana Mizuki.

So ... what exactly is left? (And I think for many people the fights are the fanservice)

I remember reading a comment on the matter of service in Nanoha, let me find it... here we go. Nanoha, officially not creepy! :P

Anyway, RE the latest trailer:

Zenryoku Zenkai!

...I preferred that half of it. Then again some of my friends did label me an 'honorary girl' the other day. <_<

[Demi.]

Shouldn't have to worry about the development, that's surely going to be there.

[Bananoha]

CMs 9 ~ 10
- 9 was already posted here on youtube. The Fate going LYRICAL MAGICAL GANBARIMASU one.
- 10 has PHANTOM MINDS, but it's still a thirty second clip with Nanoha narrating. At least the quality is better? D:

Granted, I liked some of the songs in Ultimate Diamond(dare I say "Etsuraku Camellia"? Oh wait, it's wa-metal...), but mainstream!Nana is something I find that's not very quick to get used to despite the fact I'm listening to the album everyday.

Eh, I like PHANTOM MINDS more than MASSIVE WONDERS. Only like Pray live. I do miss older Nana stuff, though. Uu, need to find my A&K songs. ;A;

And lol, "mainstream" Nana.... Er, I still think the best thing about Ultimate Diamond is Hayate no Nana.

BWAHAHAHA.
