Well, not exactly. That moe blog (lol) is to be used to develop Nanoha and not the relationship itself. Its just that, since one of the key aspect to this combination is Nanoha's development as a women, it'd be more natural to nurture her love relationship with someone else as well (be it Y or F), since it would be better, on a whole, for starting a family.

Well, she has to retire at some point.
Yea, maybe developing her motherly instincts at 19 seems way~ too early, but I guess a little change in the time skip period (making it be a 12~ years time skip instead of the 6-7 that we have from A's to SS) would fix that. I mean, before she learned any of that magic-technology stuff, she was a perfectly normal kid (I think?) attending school and stuff. Whose to say that she can't develop her motherly side just as easily?

There is still potential left, just have 7arcs rip the romance of the three kingdoms, or something, make Nanoha and Co generals and you're set. You can even make it a interplanetary struggle for epicness. That is, if 7arcs was actually able to do it, and they are not.
I'm just praying that the licence is either given to another studio or quietly forgotten. Another season of StrikerS quality would be a disaster. |
Well, like I've said before, unless they decide to cast away a large portion of the older staff and leave it to the young ones, or set the new series in a completely different place with different people, making a quality N4 without having to deal with too many characters is kinda hard.
This, plus the fact that Nanoha had already developed from N1-N3 makes it such that watching Nanoha blast through villian #1258917 wouldn't have been as interesting as, say, in A's. I thought the whole idea of having limiters in N3 to be pushing it already. I mean, they already have 3 forms in A's, and now they get another set of limiters/limit breaks? Only thing that justified this was the time skip, and it didn't feel very convincing.
Personally, its not entirely the fault of 7arcs that N3 turned out so bad. Its not like GSD bad, where there OBVIOUSLY was ample budget given, and yet the overall writing/animation was disappointing. Having a low budget definitely hurt the production overall.
I'm not too sure if the writer for A's and SS is the same, but A's has already proven that its writers are capable of coming up with a relatively good/decent plot (spanning over 13 episodes at least). The choreography for the action sequences was still fairly decent (episode 1 especially), but below average when compared to N1 and A's.
Last but not least, producing a 13 episodes series is fairly different from one twice it length. Maybe 7arc just needs to get used to it.
