Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha

I decided to watch Nanoha finally
Halfway through A's and everythings pretty awesome so far
I hear after A's things go really downhill
Is it worth it to watch the rest after A's or should I just leave it when it's at its best

It depends if you want more NanoFate.

Just watch it. You will be better for it.

You heard right. The third season is a complete mockery and it doesn't get any better after that.

I say finish A's, watch the two movies and wait for the third movie with the rest of us. It will release this year!

Will the third movie be another adaptation of a season or it's own story?
will I not get it if I haven't seen the other seasons?

Reflection is It's own thing. It's taking the force weapon design though.

>Will the third movie be another adaptation of a season or it's own story?
The third movie will be its own original story.

>will I not get it if I haven't seen the other seasons?
Considering all the time that's passed, they'll most likely make it so that people can jump in and understand what's happening without having to have watched the earlier seasons/the previous movies.

this is such a cute picture damn

I recommend you keep watching and decide for yourself. Personally i thought StrikerS is great and overall I enjoyed it even more than A's.

Anything with Fuuka is cute.

Uh, hi. This is a NANOHA thread. Please take your leave.

>StrikerS is great
BAIT

The problem with StrikerS isn't that bad, It's long.

>enjoying something is bait

I bet you didn't enjoy Vivid Strike either.

What the fuck are you talking about? It's bad AND long.

I don't know about you or anyone else but aside from Force, I very much enjoy everything after A's. Be aware that the later seasons are pretty different to the tone of the original and A's. S1+A's are about magical girls vs ancient artifacts, StrikerS is about politics and magical military vs magical terrorist, Vivid is about magical sport tournament + ancient history while Vivid Strike is a pure magical sport anime.
If you do plan on watching the later season then I recommend reading the manga version of Vivid instead of watching it since the anime ended literally in the middle of nowhere before anything was resolved. There is also Force which is also about the military vs terrorists but the manga has been on hiatus since 3 years ago.

I love Rinne! Rinne is cute!

Keep watching it for Rinne.

>Vivid Shitters will never leave
>we will never have a nice Nanoha thread ever again

>I very much enjoy everything after A's.
I have to question your standards, in that case.

I don't think it's bad. It does some cool things and getting to see Nanoha, Fate and Hayate grown up is neat.

>I don't think it's bad.
You think wrong.
>and getting to see Nanoha, Fate and Hayate grown up is neat.
The only good thing about that is that it provides an easy way to gauge the quality of a given Nanoha series. Loli Nanoha is good seasons (except InnocentS), adult Nanoha is trash seasons.

...

StrikerS and Vivid Strike are still better series than most anime shows you would find elsewhere. While not quite as good as Nanoha or A's, they're still better than the vast majority of shows Japan produces.

I bet you're proud of yourself. user made a Nanoha thread with a perfectly valid question to ask, and the first thing you do when you find it is spam Vivid Strike.

>this solid shit is better than all this wet shit!
It's still shit, and very bad one at that.

And StrikerS is the worst anime ever made, I don't know what you're talking about.

Op should learn about VS. I bet he doesn't know about Fuuka or how she saved the Nanoha franchise.

Alright OP, well there you go. One person says StrikerS is the worst anime ever made. Everyone else says it's pretty good and you should watch it. Do whatever you want.

>Op should learn about VS.
He already mentioned how he heard that Nanoha goes really downhill after A's, so he knows quite enough already.
>or how she saved the Nanoha franchise.
Every time.

>Everyone else says it's pretty good and you should watch it.
Literally nowhere. But do keep ruining Nanoha for the newcomer.

I dropped StrikerS at episode 5. Didn't like the timeskip.

You didn't even get to see Nanoha blow up Tea

Good for him, that shit was cringy. All the whole training crap was filler anyway.

StrikerS literally makes Dog Days look like a masterpiece.

So people who liked or didn't really mind StrikerS
is StrikerS a low point and it gets somewhat better after that with Vivid and VS and such?
Could I just go through StrikerS and even if I don't like it there is a light at the end of the tunnel?

OP should just skip to Vivid Strike.

I don't get the point of asking "Is it worth it to watch the rest after A's or should I just leave it when it's at its best" if you're going to watch the rest anyway just because some random VSfag contrarian said it wasn't a pile of dogshit.

Laughable at fucking best.

Not really. If OP decided he wanted to be upset and disappointed after all, he should watch everything in order.

>why would you ask for people's opinions and then consider their opinion when they give it to you?

StrikerS isn't a low point, it's just a mixed bag, it also has some of the best moments in the series.

What it is is a fucking cliff looking over the abyss because everything aside from the movies after it is without question absolute garbage.

StrikerS highest points are the NanoFate interactions with Vivio and Teana's battle at the end.

If you don't like it, you wouldn't like anything post-StrikerS.

user, please. Don't give OP retarded advice even if you just wanted to make a joke to to piss off that you know who.

>and then consider their opinion when they give it to you
Oh yeah, the opinion of "don't watch it" that he mindlessly discarded. That one, right?

>it also has some of the best moments in the series.
Not even close.

>better after that with Vivid and VS
Do you like the current cast and setting? Do you want to preserve that feeling? Then don't watch ANYTHING that takes place after StrikerS.

Yeah, StrikerS is worth watching. Don't listen to that one loon screaming about how it's the worst anime ever created.

>StrikerS is worth watching.
>and then he calls other people loons

OP be sure to read Vivid instead of watching it. They never finished it.

>OP be sure to read Vivid
But Vivid is boring shit.

>rewatched 1st
Man, it's as shitty of a story as I remember. Good thing A's and StrikerS are much better.

Sure, but if he was going to he should know.

You're right, it has the best moment in the series bar none, picrelated.

I didn't mindlessly discard your opinion
i wanted more than just one opinion from an user who is spamming the thread

>StrikerS
>better than S1/Movie 1st
>better than anything

That's fair enough. Considering his question and this thread are fucking pointless since he was going to do it regardless.

Nope. Not even close.

Yeah, sure thing buddy. Now go ruin Nanoha for yourself, you were going to do it anyway.

Strikers was alright. It takes the franchise in a different direction with Nanoha, Fate and Hayate as grown up adults in the military. The hardcore lolicons loathe it for showing the girls growing up. Over all it had some high points and some low points. It wasn't as solid as Nanoha or A's, but I think it's still worth watching.

Vivid and Vivid Strike though are a bit different. But those series are about Nanoha's daughter and her friends. A lot of people took umbrage at the idea of the old cast passing the baton to a new generation of characters. Most of them either don't consider Vivid to have anything to do with Nanoha or view it as the most of wicked of blasphemies.

So the feel of Vivid and Vivid Strike are quite a bit different from the original Nanoha series in terms of theme, mood and cast of characters.

Since nobody but you knows what you are enjoying about Nanoha and A's, it's impossible to say whether you will also end up enjoying StrikerS, Vivid or Vivid Strike.

Poor OP. He doesn't know about the shitposter who hates everything about Nanoha.

How is Nanoha annihilating Quatro not the best scene in the franchise?

>StrikerS
There's your answer.

I'm going to leave this one at "you're almost completely wrong" but there's something I want to address.

>A lot of people took umbrage at the idea of the old cast passing the baton to a new generation of characters. Most of them either don't consider Vivid to have anything to do with Nanoha or view it as the most of wicked of blasphemies.
This is no longer the case. Remember the Vivid/Vivid Strike spam in the Reflection threads?

>This is no longer the case. Remember the Vivid/Vivid Strike spam in the Reflection threads?

No. Apparently unlike you I don't live in the Nanoha threads 24/7.

Because it's not. It's expected that Nanoha could and would do such things, so it shouldn't have wow'ed anyone.

And yet it does. After all these years, I still haven't figured out why.

OP, you should watch StrikerS, or rather, you should drag yourself thruogh StrikerS if you want to see NanoFate in parent mode. It's incredibly cute and heart warming.

Guess OP has enough of opinions now. Time to post some newly discovered Jill.

...

Or you could post something relevant to the thread.

>OP wants to ruin this image
I guess it's his loss, but what a stupid and unnecessary loss it is.

Oh shit, Jill was cute! Shame she washed up.

I'm guessing she's going to the beach with them

I can't wait for the OVA
>Corona and Rio getting to pound Fuuka's face in

so would it not be wrong to think of it more of like a spinoff?
pretty much a different series with some older characters showing up but not really doing much?

I do now

You can think of Vivid and Vivid Strike that way but StrikerS is a straight up sequel. Nanoha and co. basically stole the show from the new characters near the end.

It's going to be good.

Go watch it faggot.

You have to have a very low threshold for spinoffs to consider it one.

Yeah, I can't believe he won't stop spamming Vivid Strike in threads that have nothing to do with it.

No. Nanoha is still the main character of Strikers.

>Vivid Strike in threads that have nothing to do with it.
>after A's
I'm pretty sure VS is relevant here

>I really like Nanoha and want to preserve its image after hearing what the following seasons do with it
>Nah fuck it, I'll ruin it for myself anyway
I ask again, what is the point of this thread?

I meant this post for V and VS not StrikerS
shoulda clarified that

Anyway, StrikerS in an in-universe sequel but it takes a totally different direction than the previous seasons. If you want to preserve the characters as they are now, go ahead and stop. Save yourself the grief. But if you're interested in seeing what happens to them afterward or have interest in the universe itself, keep watching.

Also, I hope you watched the movies. They're great.

Cut it out. Strike is still within the Nanoha universe.

Yes, Vivid and Vivid Strike are spin-offs of StrikerS. StrikerS takes place 10 years after A's and involves grown-up Nanoha, Hayate and Fate being officers in the military and fighting against terrorists.

Vivid takes place 4 years afte StrikerS and has a new sets of characters (Nanoha's daughter and her friends) and some of the old cast who shows up occasionally.

Vivid Strike takes place one year later and revolves around two new characters, Fuuka (who ends up becoming friends with Nanoha's daughter Vivio) and Fuuka's old friend now antagonist Rinne. That series essentially focuses on magical MMA with the characters fighting matches in the sporting ring.

I'd recommend watching StrikerS for sure.

If you're interested then read the Vivid manga at least through the tournament (about chapter 30 or so). If you're not enjoying it at all you can drop it, though you might want to watch Vivid Strike if the idea of cute girls beating the shit out of one another and lifting weights tickles your fancy.

>or have interest in the universe itself
The one that devolves into bargain bin not-Tokyo? That one?

What a stupid thing to say.

>Cut it out. Strike is still within the Nanoha universe.
Figures you'd be one of them.

If you watch StrikerS your reward is getting to meet Fuuka.

to get more opinions?
there are 15 ips here and 71 posts
most of them are (You)
your opinion means less and less with every shitpost

Still hiding behind that dumb excuse? Why are you even here still, anyway? I thought you were going to stop the whole "i like nanoha" masquerade and watch the post A's garbage.

I recommend Vivid Strike. Nanoha haters love that one, they can't get enough of it. You'll enjoy it too.

I think you mean, you're reward is the new Takamachi family.

Not sure how this hasn't been posted yet.

That's fine too.

Probably because it's incorrect.

Best family, even if Nanoha and Fate's daughter is a cuck.

Medieval spinoff where devices are pets when? I want Bardiche as a lazy doggo and RH as a ferret.

Wrong image, meant to post this one.

>ywn be princess carried by Nanoha so you can gouge yourself on fatty delicious French based snacks

I-I'm happy for you Vivio...

It's because they spoil and ground her at home so much that she is a cuck.

Man, I keep messing up. Let's try this again.

Wait, what? But Einhart is the one who got cucked on national TV by Corona.

I hope Fuuka gets adopted by Nanoha. She shouldn't have to hangout with a former terrorist.

At least we discovered that OP wasn't a Nanoha fan after all. That's good, it'll mean one confused person less during the Reflection threads.

>RH as a ferret.

Yeah no.

That reminds me of some soundstage where Fate was described as a protective dog and Nanoha...I think it was something like a capricious cat? With that in mind, I can definitely see Bardiche as a dog but RH...I can only picture her as a small human.

Not sure how this hasn't been posted yet.

Best chart out of them all. At least Nanoha has nipples in that one.

Out.

I hope you're looking forward to me posting Rinne and Fuuka during your Reflections threads.

Why yes, I am looking forward to you getting a public ban for shitposting.

It's all Nanoha friendo.

I'll post Fuuka since she's my girl.

Not really, no matter how much you try to force it.
