Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's

[Vexx]

w00t for teen team Nanoha..... actually, I really like the progression of the seasons. One of the things you are only just now starting to see in american television.... actual character change and growth.

What a collection this will turn out to be if they get a 4 or 5 season run out of it.....

[Tiberium Wolf]

I watched yesterday the 2nd season and I though this was boring like it was with cosprayers. Never though the show was soooo good! Now getting 1st season... lol... damn noob reviews that I've read for not downloading it...

lol I stated a fact over at the General Anime section about that, and it's really sad too. But, nice to have you aboard, and you know....I noticed something funny about this series...

There was quite a few of you who have not watched season 1. I guess you could say, seeing a second season must've made you guys think that it must be a popular anime to have a second season, so season one is getting popular again

BINGO

[Dragnfly@Gamefaqs]

In another online community I check they had a "main character battle" for series that are currently being fansubbed. Anyhow, through corrupt politics (basically votes by popular members ended up swaying opinions) Nanoha beat out everyone. And then suddenly the place exploded with Nanoha fandom and from what I can tell at least ten more Nanoha fans were born from it.

So I guess fans do advertise the underdogs pretty well

In other news, I was playing a testrun of my Nanoha Ani-Mayhem deck last week (it needs some serious editing) vs. a friend of mine's all-series deck (it's just a mishmash of whatever random screenshots gave him ideas)

Anyhow, it ended in an interresting scenario. You guys ever see Galaxy Fraulein Yuna? If not you might not get this. Also note that it's always good to imagine these events playing out as though they were in an anime. Basically he had a card that brought all his characters (from his hand, deck and field) to one location with one piece of equipment each (might sound broken but the disasters required stuff like this. Plus the card must be used in conjunction to Yuna and numerous other rules apply). Now, I played a card that makes it so Player vs. Player fights must be fought with the same number of people. So at this one site was Nanoha rallying her troops and Yuna rallying her's. The two armies stared each other down and then there was a massive rumble which ended in everyone but Nanoha and Yuna getting totally smoked. Then as the two leaders were about to square off I blocked his Combat Card with an effect and drew my own. "New Friend": No damage is dealt this combat round. Combat ends and the cards in this battle can no longer fight one another.

Quite poetic how it happened, really.

So anyhow, back on track, in Season 3 here are some things I wanna see that they likely won't do.

1) Nanoha's first kiss
2) Yuuno gets an inteligent device
3) Another primary character appears. A mage. The trick is: It's a guy.
4) Mr. Testarossa plays a part
5) Yuuno confesses
6) Fate confesses
7) Chrono has to fight Nanoha for some reason

Does not work for shows such as Amenaidayo!, Beat the Vendel Buster. It must be NoSanninWa's comments. Most definitely, any show that has his input is worth watching.

edit: Okay, well, those who posted in Season 1 thread no longer are n00bs anymore. Example: Catgirls. So there you go, ya got OP powa here.

[Vexx]

The reviews that get posted on the popular data sites ... ahem .... for the most part I find to be worthless diatribes from people who thought PokemonZBall was high calibre art and start twitching if there isn't an explosion or a boob every five seconds. So I've found a few people whose recommendation I take and usually do well with.
Mangatron, NoSanninWa, Fred Gallagher, and a number of others.

...

3) Another primary character appears. A mage. The trick is: It's a guy.

So, you're saying that you prefer little boys to little girls? That sounds sooooo wrong!

[Dragnfly@Gamefaqs]

Hell no! I totally prefer little girls instead! I just figured that with the addition of Hayate they could use another guy for added potential relationship combination.

Adding to my list:
8) Arisa and Shizuka keep bugging her to let them get into the magical action.
9) A really badass villain and Team Nanoha accidentally run into each other in Midoriya. The tension of a fight starts but Shiro stops them just before it happens in some cool way and gives Nanoha a long embarassing lecture right there and then.

[pianocello]

Things I want to see in the 3rd season:
Some yuri.

[Calca]

Dude...they're nine years old! And at that age, sexuality is ambiguous at best.

I'm sure they'll develop into perfectly normal heterosexual females.

[madarabe]

Great. Can't wait for the Sound Stage 2 album. As usual, another 3 vocal songs in it.

Track 03 - Mugen no Tabiji~Tomo he~ (Signum)
Track 12 - Tsubasa (Fate)
Track 17 - Snow Rain (Hayate)

Basically we can say that Sound Stage 2 is Episode 6.5 of Nanoha A's

Or perfectly normal homosexual females.

Either way, I have to stress that unless a few years pass before season 3, any sexual activity is extremely unlikely and inappropriate.

And totally out of character for the show as presented so far...... this is just wishful thinking and some teasing from the animators. I guess its impossible to be good friends with someone of the same sex anymore..... I get odd looks when I go do stuff with my 20 yr old son, good grief....

Nanoha and Fate might turn out hetero-, homo-, or bi- but they're perfectly normal and unless it is *really* relevant to the show ... I'd guess all you'll see is handholding, hugs, or a kiss --- R-15 stuff very unlikely.

Of course, after that teaser of the gang as teens... they may get lynched if they don't do a 3rd season jumping ahead in time.

[Trax]

Are they really only 9? Seems too young to grasp certain concepts, and be serious about anything. I thought they were 12, at least.

[Calca]

Yeah it's stated in the very first Nanoha episode.

[DaFool]

Gee, they are just very good close friends

One thing I hate about the sexual revolution is that nowadays sexuality is attributed to everything. Good grief, your teachers can't even touch your kids for fear of being accused of molestation. What ever happened to good old female bonding or good old male bonding? And good old adult supervision?

The yuri vibes and lyrics are just titillation for the viewers. Real-life lesbianism is NOT glamorous at all.

The Master of the Book of Darkness and her Guardian Knights' Afternoon.

Viita: Whoa... What a huge car...
Hayate: Yes it is. It's a cadillac limousine
Viita: A carriage relax?
Hayate: Something sort of like that. Oh, the light turned green. Viita.
Viita: Okay, Hayate ready to launch!
Hayate: Let's go!

(random kids)
Wait up!
Wait up!
What did you say?!

Viita: Oh, it's time to go back home from elementary school. They're as loud as I expected.
Hayate: It's good that they're all so cheerful.
Viita: That white school uniform.... It's that one... the one that girl was wearing in that picture you showed me...
Hayate: Oh, you mean Suzuka-chan's school uniform.
Viita: Yeah.
Hayate: Hey Viita, are you interested in going to school?
Viita: Huh? No, not in particularly.
Hayate: Hmm... Viita should be around 1st grade. You wearing a school uniform would be so cute.
Viita: I, um, I'm not so good with cute. Oh, there's Signum.
Hayate: Oh, you're right. Hey Signum~!
Signum: Yes?

Hayate: Thanks for bringing over the shopping cart.
Signum: No problem, I am merely helping Shamal.
Viita: We're going shopping before we're going home right? Hayate, can we buy ice cream?
Hayate: Okay, but we're not buying the large size ones. We don't want Viita to overeat and have a stomachache again.
Viita: Urg, using a person's past trauma against them...
Signum: Oh yes, before you were in the middle of discussing something.
Hayate: Oh, you must mean about school.
Viita: Hey, that's is meaningless conversation.
Signum: School... Dr. Ishida did say that once your legs got a bit better, you would be able to return to school
Hayate: That's sounds like something that Dr. Ishida would say. I personally don't really care if I go or not go to school.
Viita: Really?
Hayate: Yup, if I am not around the house, I can't keep an eye on you guys.
Signum: I'm sorry, thank you for looking out for us.
Viita: We're thankful.
Hayate: Hee, hee. As Master of the Book of Darkness and the Volkenritter, it's my expected duty.

Shamal: Welcome home Hayate-chan.
Hayate: I'm home, Shamal.
Viita: Here's the groceries.
Shamal: Okay, thanks Viita-chan.
Signum: Excuse me for a moment, Master Hayate.
Hayate: Okay.

(Signum picking up Hayate)

Hayate: Heh, being held/picked up by Signum feels really nice.
Signum: I see...
Shamal: Hayate-chan? Me holding you, isn't good at all?
Hayate: Don't be silly Shamal. Your hugs/Being held by you is quite nice.
Shamal: Heh, Yeah!
Viita: Whose better?
Hayate: Hm... I wonder who indeed.
Signum: Is the living room all right?
Hayate: Yes it is.
I, Yagami Hayate, was until now was a clumsy, normal third grade girl. But on my birthday an unexpected brilliant event made me Master of the Book of Darkness
Viita: This strawberry ice cream is mine! Don't you touch it.
Shamal: Don't worry, I like vanilla more than strawberry.
Signum: Write your name on it. No one will mistaken it then.
Hayate: Hahaha, Zafira, I'm back!
I, as Master of the book and the four cloud knights, am protecting the happy life we have now.
Shamal: Well now. Viita-can can you wipe the wheels of the wheelchair?
Viita: Roger.
Hayate: Thanks a lot Viita.
Viita: I'll clean it right away and bring it over, all right?
Shamal: Shikuwani. Daikon. Konbu in setsumade. Tonight is oden isn't it?
Hayate: Yup, you're right.
Signum: That's sounds good.
Hayate: I'm going stew it right and make it tasty. It's going to be great.
Signum: Yes.
Shamal: Here, let me help.
Hayate: Sometimes it's really difficult but every day together is wonderful.



[Nipponsei] Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's SOUND STAGE 01
14 Nanoha and Fate's Lovelove Araikko

Arisa: Suzuka-chan!
Suzuka: Arisa-chan.
Arisa: Is this someone you know?
Suzuka: Yup, she's that girl I mentioned before, Hayate-chan!
Arisa: Oh, nuts. If I came a bit earlier, you could have introduced me to her.
Suzuka: Heh, but introducing you to her in a bath is rather strange. Some other time in the future.
Arisa: Yeah, you're right. You know, I can't see Nanoha or Fate any where. Where are they? I want to get into the bath soon with everyone.
Suzuka: Oh, I think they went to different washing area just a moment ago. Um, oh you know over there.
Arisa: What?! Those two are still at it?! (... Arisa that just sounds so... wrong) Really!
Suzuka: Arisa-chan? What are you going to do with that washing pail?
Arisa: I'm going to do this!
Fate: Nanoha? Are you all right? Is it too ticklish?
Nanoha: (hehehhe) Only a little.
Fate: Um, how about this?
Nanoha: Yeah, it feels nice.
Fate: Okay, then this way.
Nanoha; This feels good, I feel happy.
Fate: I'm glad.
Arisa: Okay, there is no one to interefere. Target: Lock on! And a one and a two!
Suzuka: Fate-chan, Nanoha-chan... Run away!
Fate & Nanoha: AH!
Arisa: Direct hit!
Fate: Arisa?
Nanoha: Arisa-chan?
Arisa: Really, how long are you going to wash each other?
Suzuka: Arisa-chan wants to enter the other baths as soon as possible with everyone.
Nanoha: Eh heh... Sorry...
Fate: Sorry Arisa, I was, um...
Arisa: Really. You two live in the same neighbourhood, you can wash each other every night with your parents permission at your houses! We went through all this trouble to come to Sparkle Spa, we have to all sorts of fun here!
Nanoha: Yeah, you're right.
Fate: Every night?
Nanoha: We shouldn't have comprised, we should have went in together.
Fate: Yeah.
Nanoha: So after practice let's take a bath together at either my place or yours.
Fate: Okay.
Arisa: Oh yea, Fate-chan. I heard from Ami alittle while ago but I heard you can't wash your hair on your own?
Fate: Ami, why did you tell everyone?
Suzuka: Well, Fate-chan's hair is really long.
Fate: It's not that I don't want to wash it. That's the truth okay?

Each respective groups return home.

Random guy: Thank you for coming!
Miyuki: That was great.
Nanoha: It was great.
Suzuka: Yes, it was~!
Fate: Um, Amy where were we supposed to met up at?
Amy: It's at that place infront of the station. Um, checking the map.
Miyuki: I know the station area well, I'll show you.
Amy: Thanks alot Yuki.

Viita: The bath was fun and I got warmed up... But I'm really hungry.
Hayate: Zafira and warm oden is waiting at home.
Viita: Um.
Hayate: I think we have some shimeyou oden... And some rice left I think.
Viita: Alright! I'll eat it all.
Shamal: Viita-chan...
Signum: Being so greedy is unbecoming of a Knight...
Viita: Shut up!
Hayate: But being all together tonight is wonderful. Eating dinner together, relaxing together, going to bed together... It's such a nice family-like life.
Shamal: Now and from here on end, we're going to live together forever.

Shamal's Feelings

Shamal: Here are the cartridges. Signum and Viita each have about 6 each.
Viita: Hm.
Shamal: I'll make them again as soon as possible. So don't hold back, use them all.
Signum: Right.
Zafira: Very well Shamal, please remain behind.
Shamal: Right... Everyone, take care of yourself.
Signum: We'll return before dawn.
Viita: We're going now.
Shamal: Hayate-chan, you'll catch a cold like that.
During these happy times. I feel that in our future, this won't ever happen again.
More precious than any treasure.
This life that Hayate-chan has given us. That's why were going to protect her.
This girl who gave us such a warm wonderful life.
No matter what sad fate threatens her, we will defeat it.
That is our vow/promise.
Good night... Our master.
