Just finished watching Wings of Honneamise. It was good, but, well, it was weird. It's kinda hard to describe. The story is about the struggles of a space force as they try to launch their first spacecraft into orbit, but the focus of the story isn't so much on the research and building as it is on the development of the main character. You could almost call it a slice of life.

First 8 minutes of Gundam Unicorn. It's dubbed though.

Didn't they postpone the release because too many people preordered it?

Amazing again... really i don't know how they managed to make this better than the manga. Having said that, its a lot easier to appreciate if you have read the manga

So many complex emotions... man anime keeps tearing my soul a new one lol

I basically dropped it because the anime start in the middle of the manga and when you didnt read that you dont have a chance.

The anime was my catalyst for starting the manga since it seemed interesting, but the first episode was confusing as hell for somebody who knows nothing of the series. But yeah, it's not bad for an adaptation.

Why does Teana use a gun? It seems horribly inefficient compared to a regular stave. She constantly needs to reload unlike Nanoha or Fate. Besides, if those drones are hard to kill because of the anti-magic field, WHY DON'T YOU JUST USE NORMAL BULLETS?
[image loading]
Sigh.

Also, she needs to stop being emo. It's seriously annoying.

I hate the two kids. They're just not that interesting. I'll take Yuuno over these two anyday. Instead, he's been reduced to a mere cameo appearance.

Subaru is the only new recruit that doesn't completely annoy me. I still think her rollerblades are retarded though.

Why can't anyone fly? All of the old characters could fly. Subaru's wing road is kind of a replacement, but it seems more dangerous since you could just fall off and die or something stupid like that. Erio almost died by falling as well. Nanoha learned to fly instantly. You guys all suck.

Overall, the four of them seem ridiculously weak. I bet they'd get their collective asses kicked by Nanoha when she was just a third grader.

This was the best part of the series so far:

Okay... I try to address some of your points.

+ Show Spoiler [Nanoha StrikerS] +
Because you need a gunslinging girl. Serious answer: She needs to reload just like the other characters that are using cartridges. Maybe a little bit more, because she is still inexperienced with the cartridge system, hasn't fully unlocked her device and has not as much ammunition space as the other devices. She didn't want to use a staff, because she wanted a personal device.

Edit 2: Oh, and she doesn't use real bullets, because kinetic / conventional / non-magical weapons are ILLEGAL.

Yes, she is a stupid emo kid, but she'll get a bit better later on.

Only characters that are rated A or higher can fly, everything below that is non-flight capable. Probably one of the better changes from A's and earlier (there are ways around that limitation, but generally they involve buffing by other characters for example).

Yes, they are far less powerful than any of the old characters. They might have a chance vs. Nanoha with her limiter active if they show good teamwork. The old characters are just that awesome.

Edit: Especially later on. You haven't reached the good parts yet, where the old characters get to blow shit up again.

It's just really frustrating watching them sit around and train for a couple episodes, then when a battle comes around, the new recruits are struggling to take down a handful of enemies. In the meantime, Nanoha & co. are wrecking entire groups in a single blow. Hopefully the pace starts picking up soon.

iirc Teana and Subaru still can't fly in Vivid, they are like AA (or AAA, even) by that point.

Strikers picks up a little in the middle when the main 3 fight, then picks up again at the end when the main 3 fight. Coincidence? I think not.

Yeah, that's more because Teana and Subaru suck. Generally A and above are expected to be flight capable. At least that was the statement during the StrikerS period, maybe it has been changed again.

Just finished Umineko (watched in a few days as well) :D
I was somewhat disappointed at first (a lot of friends told me it was awesome) but later on it was indeed pretty epic.
I think I'll get the VNs :D

But before that, catch up on Madoka, seen two episodes so far.

Get the VNs, infinitely better. Anime completely butchered ep3 and ep4's best and most epic parts.

Well, part of it is probably training, though you'd expect Teana to have received flight training by Vivid. The Nanoha universe lore always gets twisted a little at every iteration as to suit the purposes of that particular version.

So having finished up Kokoro Connect as well, I am running out of excuses before I succumb to Southlight's plot to get me to play Innocent Grey games. Need to hurry up and find something before I finish Gyakuten Kenji 2 Also, not being able to find scans of series I actually like blows.

Yes. See Force for the most recent example. ViVid is pretty tame with their lore-bending so far, except for that awful team battle.

Hmm. That got stupid for a bit. It ended up being just like the ending of the original, locked in that prison and all. I figured that Masaomi would have surrendered to Ari eventually, but that wasn't what I expected. From Saburou and Mina's points of view, he sold them out, but it was definitely the best choice. It was pretty powerful when Masaomi was second guessing himself while standing over Mina's unconscious body

I hate the open ending though. Did Masaomi save Mina? Did Ari kill him? : /

Southlight, you were right. Ari=mega bitch. But Masaomi is confirmed as a complete badass.

Now if only the rest of the game were to get translated...

Teana/Subaru become decent as the series progresses, but Erio and Caro suck the entire time. It gets better though. The parts where Nanoha/Fate/Vita/Signum are beasting everything makes it better than S1, at least.

Plus, the recruits are all much less powerful than Nanoha. Nanoha is like Amuro, so few people are going to have the same talent as her lol

Yeah you were like "how does this guy end up a hero?" and I was thinking THAT GUY IS AWESOME. I felt much more emotion from the FD oddly enough because of the betrayal scene.

Well, even with the open ending of the FD it was still a bit better then the none conclusive ending to Sharin itself. The whole... why was Houzoki so ape shit crazy? Why did he let them go? What was his real aim? Like, what the fuck? Even so it was engaging enough to where I just wanted to keep going.
