Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS

[Church]

I seem to be the only one excited for this series... Well, I can't blame you guys, it does have "mahou shoujo" in the title.

Plot Summary:

This is how Mahou Shoujo's should be. Anyways... hope to see a fansub soon.

I think The Triad is debating whether or not to do it.

A few people definitely have expressed their interest in some other threads. You must have just missed those posts. There are some decent mahou shoujo shows out there, and Lyrical Nanoha was always, for me, one of the better ones. In the past I was heavily traumatized by Magical Girl Pretty Sammy, but Nanoha was actually one of the shows that healed me partially.

I'll most certainly watch this.

I thought Pretty Sammy's rival was hilarious. When she was in magical form of course.

First time I saw that promo actually. It somewhat confirms what we all kind of suspected. Nanoha, Fate, and the others will be relegated to more side-character roles, while the new girls take over as main characters. It's only mildly disappointing, but it looks really good.

Yeah, must've mised those, I don't usually hang around the forum that much.

2 more days...

If they keep the same level of quality I won't be dissapointed.

I don't think The Triad will sub it, or if they do they won't use their usual quality. Their page is full of insults against the series. Maybe its inner-jokes, but since I don't hang around their chat room I can't tell.

[Church]

Triad is doing it, they have subbed ep1, but we'll probably have to wait till tomorrow for the torrent

[Ryllharu]

Or a week or so from now, since the episode hadn't aired for another 6 hours after they posted that message.

[Church]

I know, I figured that out after I posted it... I need to stop surfing the web on 1 AM...

[Munsu]

First episode by yesy:

It's a LQ episode, they'll be releasing higher quality of this episode later... I myself will wait for Triad's version. I still need to finish Nanoha A's also.

[Kraco]

If yesy can keep up a better pace, I'll go with them. I doubt I would see much quality difference between yesy and Triad, anyway, as my eyes aren't that keen for such things unless the differences are gross. And I was very satisfied with their Utawarerumono subs, anyway.

[animus]

Is this a shoujo ai series mayhaps?

Well, it's my curse to find lots of errors in subs... so I'm going to stay away from their version, and I didn't like their Utawarerumono either, so I'll wait for Triad all by my lonesome. Triad was fairly fast with their Nanoha A's if I remember correctly.

Is this a shoujo ai series mayhaps?

What makes you think that? Other than being a friendship centered series, I haven't seen any hints from shoujo ai in the previous seasons.

[animus]

It kinda looked like it from the youtube trailer in the OP to me for some odd reason O_o.

[Munsu]

Yeah, I can see that now... I think it's more of a "senpai" admiration thing, and maybe a one-sided crush or something.

You seen the previous seasons?

[animus]

Oh no I haven't, like most people i get turned off by the "mahou shoujo" part. But it seems this series is quite decent apparently?

[Munsu]

It seems like it can turn out good. I'm watching Nanoha A's, the second series, currently... it's much better than it seems, the mahou shoujo side is tolerable at the moment. The first series you'll probably find too boring... maybe go to wikipedia or something to read the plot for the first season or two if you don't want to give Nanoha A's a chance, but want to give this series a chance.

[Kraco]

Goddam the video quality was bad. It was almost like some streamed video turned into an avi. Extra Low Quality would be more appropriate than just LQ. I hope it won't be like this with every episode, or I'll just skip the first release. I don't want to watch them like this.

Otherwise not really easy to say anything about the story itself. This was purely an intro episode for both characters and to a lesser extent the setting. No indication whatsoever what the plot itself is going to be. But clearly those two second generation girls are going to be the main characters. I guess Nanoha and Fate got too powerful and established to be of much use anymore... Although they did both still get screen time nicely.
