What is up with those rollerskates. I do not approve. And wtf cartridge system. I thought those were supposed to be rare.

lololol Reinforce. I forgot she existed.

The episode itself was okay I guess. Too much FRIENDSHIP and not enough blowing things up though.

Favorite characters/moments? There are sooo many characters in this show that I really liked. The Empire was full of badasses, and the Alliance was full of likable guys.

Repost of my end-of-series thoughts:

Also, you gotta be careful about hyping this show! Apparently people get really pissed off when others hype LOGH. I mean, who cares if they hype all of their favorite anime and no one cares, but hype THIS show, and God help you.

First of all my favorite character is not the same as the one I liked the most, or the one I enjoyed seeing in the anime the most.

My favorite character was actually Oberstein, because he fits so good damn well into the role he has been given, by Rheinhard and the producers of the anime/mange. I did hate him at times, I never loved his ways, I loved it when he got punched by Bittenfield. But the reason for him being my favorite of the shows is simply the way he fits into everything.

The one I liked the most was Rheinhard, his way off going from a no-name to universal supreme sovereign was the most epic and badass thing I have seen from an anime. He also fits the character of enlightend sovereign perfectly. And his spirit and way of life style was just too good not to be liked. Only thing I don't really like was the way he ended. Not because it was stupid, or that someone got lucky or something like that. But more off the way that he actually had to die. (which became pretty clear once the fevers became more frequent).

The one I enjoyed the most in the show: Yang Wenli, because, even though he was a sleepy "do-I-have-do-it" kinda guy, he was still a total baller in his own way. Also the way he uses history for references (trolololo alcohole) is just damn smart. Who ever wrote the script and created Yang Wenli deserves a good damn medal. I really liked the way they ended him, even though I would have liked to see more of him, because I feel like another 30eps or so with him in charge would probably have ended more boring that fruitfull. Also this gave Julian Minci the chance to shine instead of being the mini-version of Wenli, Attenbourough and Poplan combined. I liked the death of Yang because I think it suited him, he was not destined to be brought down in fleet to fleet combat, and this way he got taken without the extreme drama and 10+ filler episodes that normally appears while one of the protagonists die.

opinion on other characters, in no order of favoritisme:

Kircheis: Siegfried was just the perfect person to accompany Rheinhard in the beginning of his journy. And even though I regret them killing him off so early, I think it was a neccessary step in the evolution of Rheinhard. Tbh I think the Rheinhard and Kircheis would have settled with the alliance being another Phezzan kinda place ruled on it's own but as a part of imperial territory. Also I think his life would have meant for a lot weaker Rheinhard when it came to governing and decision making. I did shed a tear on his death though.

The Twin stars of the empire:
Reuntaler: was and is always the badass you except him to be. Much like Oberstein he fell into his role and fits it perfectly, first as the excellent commander of an imperial fleet. Then as a local leader, and finally as the tragic loyal hero that rebels because of love to his master.

Mittemeyer: Has got to be one of the most likeable guys in the show, he was just plain out understanding towards everyone (cept for oberstein ofc, but then again nobody were). The way he treated everyone and his friendship with Reuntaler just made it even more painfull for me to watch them fight it out. Even though it was much needed for it to happen so that the loyal hero's sacrifice weren't to go to waste.

there is a long list of people I have opinions on except from these but I will shorten the number down a bit.

Lutz: I think he met his end the way he wanted it. Protecting the Kaiser and ensuring his safety was the way for him to go.

Hilda: To damn smart to be secretary, to perfect to not be married to Rheinhard. if 1+1=2 then that child is gonna be a fucking genious.

Frederica: same as with Hilda, and if they had ever had a child same would have applied to her and Yang.

Bittenfeld: The most baller and badass person on the imperial side. Dude is like: see that fleet? CHARGE!! See that fleet and it's doubble our size you say? CHARGE!!! Impregnable fortress? CHARGE!!

Schenkopp: While Bittenfeld is the most badass person on the imperial side, Schenkopp has got to be the most badass on the Alliance side. But then again he was once imperial so that doesn't set the expectations low.

Einsach:...

Karin: again; While Hilda and Frederica were perfect for their respective Husbands, Karin is the perfect match for Julian.

Merkatz: like Lutz I think he found his end the way he both wanted and dreamed of.

end note: I really liked the show and it's characters, if I am gonna say that I liked one moment the most I will say that it's the moment that begins 00.01sec into the first episode and ends at ep 110 at around the 25min mark. there is just to many good things in it to name one.
I also like the entire story, ideologies, it's theme, all it's democracy vs autocracy discussions etc etc.

Omg Luna. I wonder if maybe there's a goddess in Tsukiyo causing her to float :O

And lol at Shiori's novel. They're oppressed by "Count Casiraghi."

Question: Does Hayate actually know that everyone else is a magi? And if she doesn't, wouldn't she think that there's something weird with having a pet wolf with blue fur?

Also, is the Velka-type magic better than the...for lack of a proper term, mainstream magic? Or is it just a different style with its own pros and cons?

I've also noticed inconsistencies. When Nanoha woke up in the bed on the space station, she had the black ribbons. But then in the next scene, same day, same station, she has her normal white bows. Fate had the white bows too. It looked kinda dumb lol.

And why does every goddamn character have a huge cowlick on the side of their hair? Did the character designer do that to make himself feel better because he has bad hair?

Ep 4 looks great, seems like Nanoha and Fate might get the Velka-type magic.

Edit: I'm also loving all the obvious yuri undertones. Those scenes when Nanoha and Fate just stare into each other's eyes are too cute.

What the heck is going on. I don't even know anymore. The plot's suddenly gone and developed in like five different directions at once. -_-

It's been a while since I watched, but I'm fairly certain she knows. It gets explained later on, I think.

Velka magic is just regular magic + cartridges. The cartridge system is good for powering up over a short period of time. Hence why Nanoha and Fate got their asses handed to them.

Yeah, I know. He talked to Shiori according to plan, and now he plans to talk to Ayumi? But it seems that floating Luna will get in the way.

And he plans to work with Nora (ugh) to find the goddesses. I thought something stupid was gonna happen in this chapter like Nora/Haqua releasing the megane demon.

And Keima mentioned that he hasn't heard from Elsie lately.

Next chapter: Deal with Luna and/or Tsukiyo, Haqua gets jealous, and still no word from Elsie.

I feel like the author is just trying to make everything that can possibly go wrong, go wrong at this point.

So I'm guessing that Nanoha and Fate get the Velka-type magic so they stand a chance in the future?
