I'd hardly call that a continuous sci-fi upgrade. By the way, you're geomancy example was already done in Vivid with Corona. |

Finally i would LOVE to see a last saga where Anti-Magic is not involved and finally we get to see the awesomeness of our heroines. Again for the old Aces and for the first time for all the StrikerS bunch(specially Agito, i want her to show off of what she's capable against a real, counscicious opponent, not to a bunch of flying robots). Really my head finally cools and my anger at FORCE 007 finally minimizes the instant i've decided to stop take this manga seriously, i still following in hopes of a cool moment or two and see what plans are for Signum(and Agito, i really feel sorry for her). Other than that i've started to remeber the good times of the franchise an re-watching A's, even StrikerS have some good things(the Numbers among others xD), i can't say much about FORCE and ViVid overall purpouse but i think that it's a real bad idea to separate the two elements that combined give this franchise his "charm" in the past(Magical girls and touching stories blended with action packed mecha and some sci-fi/mistery genre). In other words FORCE and ViVid got the best aspect of the series "vivisectioned" xDU. |

Because the Huckbein has so far proven to be credible opponents. As long as the villains of a series can be a logical threat, than they are "credible opponents" regardless of how exactly they accomplish that. It's like whining that your opponent brought a gun to a knife fight, or brought shields that can protect against your magical energy shots. Frankly, I consider it damn smart to toss these eclipse people at the Bureau. Makes me wonder who the chessmaster is behind this, as it can't exactly be coincidence that the Huckbein are doing things like this now. Maybe you're right and Force will be the worst thing ever. But before we go off half-cocked saying how bad it is... maybe we should wait until the story is done? Perhaps the real enemy is someone manipulating the Huckbein and Bureau into fighting each other. For one thing, we don't know who exactly the scientists are working for, nor what their goals really are. We just don't know, and at this point, it's a bit illogical to jump the gun, wouldn't you agree? |

What the "Too wise for their age" characters will miss is the hilarity of such situations.

I don't see what's wrong with showing how Nanoha became so mature so fast. That's something that I thought was always missing in her background and finally they give us a perfectly credible and logic explanation. Plus they didn't transform her in some kind of cold-hearted machine by the time she is 9 : she breaks down at time like any other kid and cries when her feelings overflow (see the scenes in the Movie or manga when she can't communicate with Fate to simply tell her that she wants to be friend with her).

Maybe i'm wrong, maybe it ends in a good way but, just as you just write, at this point this is how things looks like, depend on Tsuzuki skill, what's next, i don't care much about that, i'm here only to watch my favourite characters doing cool things in this new "unsetting world". |

After all, trough the 3 season Nanoha has shown a bi-polar attitude, First season was "way too mature kid" second was "Friendly fellow" First half of the third was "Strong-dedicated teacher" second half was "protective mother" In vivid is "Lovely dedicated mother" and in the Movie manga is "Emo-kid" Oh wait, perhaps I see a patron Meh, just my opinion. Weeeeeeee!!!

Your concerns could be valid, but the point is we don't know yet. Let it at least play out, before we say overall how good or bad it is. S1 and StrikerS ended much differently than they started out. We got two very good plot twists in S1, and a surprising change of tone just after the midway point of StrikerS. Even A's gave us twists in antagonists, who turned out not to be so evil despite Vita seeming like it when she attacked Nanoha. At this point, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. |

Me too but i think that it would bad if Cypha turns to the good guys side, i have hope that at least Tsuzuki evolves well her path as an outstanding villain, if she becomes "good" the entire point of getting Signum defeated would be pointless. And talking about that, it feels specially jarring becauseTsuzuki take one of the strongest characters on the entire franchise, put her on a fight with UPGRADES! ....and then made her nearly killed just to show off how useless and pointless all progress and abilities they achieve up until this point is(i don't argue abot cypha winning, but it's a bit unconvincing how futile they made Signum attempts to fight, right after being stablished to be on par with Nanoha). Thus making the necessity to completely change the franchise dynamics.
I still retain some hope that things get balanced again, i just, like somebody say repeated times, don't have them too high raised. What i'm sayin is that FORCE can MAYBE get good, but at the moment i don't see much signs of said potential(besides Bardiche and the little hope his return gives me xD). |

Nanoha in the other hand is the only member of the main cast to have a quite "normal" past and whose parents are still alive. However her past wasn't all that happy and she too got her share of troubles and hard times, which lead her to become such a determinate character. She remains special in that that she consciously changed her way of being at a very young age so that she wouldn't lose anything precious to her anymore (if I understand this last chapter right). Put all together, I really felt like this chapter made her re-/actions more believable. Now time for befriending pleaz! (*≧艸≦)

Seems kind of odd that Nanoha had such an emotional reaction, compared to the anime where we were shown she was lonely, but still managing it quite well on her own. Then again, I suppose the movie manga is trying to reach some pre-set "Rule Of Drama" or something. Any idea when it will be translated?

You know, it's an AU manga and all...And it might be just picking up points which the original anime did not delve deep enough into.
Just because Nanoha didn't cry much in the series, doesn't mean she didn't cry off-screen. It took her about 30seconds to start crying when Fate was leaving for her trial, I can't imagine why her father nearly dieing wouldn't bear the same affect.

I'm just making a comment. I can certainly respect that the AU movie manga is touching on things that we never saw developed in the original series, but that doesn't mean I have to like how they've done it so far. Especially with Nanoha's character.
