| yeah everyone has the same exact voice except chrono who has a manly deep voice at that. Though thats generic anime for you. The girls forever stay young while the guys mature. |
| Lady's and gentlemen, that is how you do an action series. Great stuff. |

Vizard said: Fate's so unlimitedly sexy as an adult. That indeed. But Arisa with short hair is also nice. Overall a pretty good anime. It was entertaining from the beginning. |
| It's weird to see them grew up already all of a sudden lol |
      |
| Awesome season :D definitely my favorite of the 3 9/10 |
| MUUUUUUUUCH better than the first....FATE FTW!! |
| I emjoyed the first season but the second season outdid the first season by far. the action was just amazing, only show ive watched where the action has been the main attraction for me. in addition to the action the plot was very well done. |

| A very late post on my view on this - Very good of all 3 Anime MSLN's this one gets a 10/10 from me, Great from start to finish - WIth a nice mid-teenage look at our Fate and Nanoha (and Hayate) And many others. Season 2 out did season 1 and season 3. |
| Overall this was decent. It's nice to see them grow up. I kinda wanted to hear some of Nanoha's explanation to her friends and family about what happened. |
| One thing that kind of annoyed me was how Hayate became a mage of Nanoha and Fate's calibur by doing... nothing. Yep, she basically broke the Book's program and then became as good as them. What happened to good ol' hard work, huh? :D Besides that, good series overall. Looking forward to StrikerS. 8/10 |

| anyone else think reinforce's little hologram at the end was suuuper kawaii? lol |
SpecJay said: anyone else think reinforce's little hologram at the end was suuuper kawaii? lol Oh hell yes. Gotta love an anime that has an actual end (well if you don't count the third season). |
| Man, I nearly shed a tear when Reinforce "died". ;____; The ultra-happy second half was a waaayyy too much of a whiplash after that depressing first half, though. Overall I thought this was a pretty nice series. It's difficult to take it seriously at times, but nonetheless, when it comes to Mahou Shoujo, Nanoha has and always will be the choice to go. 7/10 |

Yeah, the years were really good to Fate lol Lol Chrono went through puberty!!!! XD Yuuno kinda looks like a girl now awww and he's got glasses =P |
   |
| Very enjoyable series even if it did feel a bit like a rehashed season 1. Onto Striker S i guess. |
fuck everything and rumble |
SpecJay said: anyone else think reinforce's little hologram at the end was suuuper kawaii? I can't imagine how ranging harto and bardiche's hologram will be like... they sounds like adults xD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nice ending Gosh that dramatic parting made me teary... and they've all grown up except vita. Among all those who grown up I think arisa improve a lot in looks and nanoha surely looks sexy facing her back xD |
| i watched the 1st movie instead of the 1st season, and it was confusing how they were already using cartridges in the first movie, so i was kind of confused. but man, fate is adorable as hell. well that was a good season, not a masterpiece but definitely 9/10. |
    |
| very nice season end. i rly enjoyed this anime a lot 9/10 ^^ |
| Better season than first one. With some plot twists (one was very nicely done) and better story. But still has issues like being too cliche and painfully cheesy (yeah! more cheesy than season 1). Anyway good watch. Final Episode - 3.5/5 (too cheesy for me) Series - 7/10 |
 |
| This season was definitely better than the first. It would have been a good ending right there if not for the third season. |
| This anime is so metal that Ronnie James Dio temporarily rose from the dead to raise a lighter towards a lightning-streaked-and-blood-raining heaven. |
| Never forget, that if you post a topic, you're not allowed to post in it yourself, by order of MAL administration. |
| Hey... Shoes of fate looked better in season 1. |
 |
| I liked the 6 years progression. Sets up something new for the next season perhaps. |
| I hear that StrikerS is going to be significantly different from these first two seasons. Out of what I've seen so far though I'm impressed with the Nanoha series as a whole, and would probably rate seasons 1 and 2 at around the high end of 8/10. Although the first half of season 1 is slow, it really starts to pick up when Fate is introduced, and I think the character dynamic between her and Nanoha is really the highlight of that season. In A's I really liked the story relationship between Hayate and the Valka knights, and the scenes where Fate enters the dream world were poignant and touching. What stands out to me the most I think is how this series has a kind of sincerity to it that I have not seen for a very long time, with probably Madoka Magica being the only exception. Less than a year ago seeing a magical girl show would have been unthinkable to me, but I'm glad I watched this. |
| I am sure Nanoha and Fate explained *everything* to Suzuka and Arisa, but what about Nanoha's family? They had a big talk there, but they skipped that rather fast, so it's not clear if Lindy might up another story or they actually explained everything to make things easier in the future. And Reinforce being lke "i am the happiest magical book in the world". How many are there in the first place? |
| That was good. That was good! :D And Yuuno, of course you won't make "progress" with Nanoha. Fate won't allow it. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Pretty lovely ending of this second season, a lot of great action and character development! All in all a pretty decent continuation of the first season! |
 |
| Huge improvement from the mediocre first season. Really liked the whole cast this time around, and the battles were great. 7/10 |
| The time skip wasn't completely unexpected thanks to some light spoilers, but it was still a jaw dropper to see 6 years flash by after watching 26 episodes of Nanoha and company as kids. That mini reinforce is really cute, the time skip info on each character made this feel like a satisfying epilogue (albeit the subs I watched made it unbearable to follow). It was certainly worthwhile to pick up A's shortly after season 1. Even though I did end up enjoying S1, A's really stepped it up with the action and characters. The case of the Book of Darkness/Tome of the Night Sky definitely kept me well invested into this from start to finish as opposed to S1 taking some episodes to warm up. What intrigued me most about it is how this pretty much confirms how magic functions as a technology in Lyrical, particularly with the constant talk of the Book of Darkness's various programs. The idea behind its cycle of rebirth and immortality was also an interesting bit as it kept me guessing as to how they were going to figure out a loophole past it and find a way to break the cycle once and for all. The other thing I really liked about this was getting to see things from Hayate and her group's perspective for a fair amount. It really made me care and empathize more with how the knights just wanted to live in peace with Hayate and all she wanted was to get along with everyone. It was even a good call how the old man and the twins weren't painted as villains, keeping it from becoming a black and white good vs evil battle. Definitely a solid follow up to the first season, I'll probably be taking a nice break from Nanoha for the time being but look forward to StrikerS when the time is right. 7.5/10, leaning towards a 7. Though I did enjoy A's more than S1, I can't say the gap was that big and I wasn't completely blown away (although certainly close thanks to all of those blasters!). One thing I did enjoy more about S1, however, was its more melancholic, dreary tone. |

| Did they seriously put a least on Arf, isnt that slightly degrading for a familiar of her caliber..... unless....... she likes it? fate wasnt even walking her initially, must have been weird when yuuno was putting the collar on, would have been if a normal (non magical) person was walking her. Also zafira on a leash dosnt count because 1. hes technically not a familiar, 2. he spends most of his time in the dog form and 3. hes pretty much the family pet as in thats his role in the family (NOT DEROGATORY). |
| Powered by yuri. Needless to say, I finish all anime I start, no matter my initial opinion, no matter how bad it gets, I WILL FINISH IT! http://www.anime-planet.com/users/zunderdog24  |
| This season kicked so much ass. Can't wait to start Strikers. Also puppy Zafira omg |
 |
| It's sad what happened to reinforce but at least she did not vanish completly. Still a nice ending. |
| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
| This show is awesome! I never get bored watching this season. Here I come StrikerS. 9/10 |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Reinforce willed herself/itself to be destroyed. TT_TT Woah, woah 6 years later! O_O Well it was a happy ending so... 7/10 |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| The first season had an incredibly simple, but well done, story and tight direction. We don't really get that here,and it just feels like more of an action/battle show than a magical girl show. Don't know how to feel about that. I liked the characters of course, though. |
| I will miss the adult Reinforce, but the little reinforce isn't bad though. I wonder how did Hayate acquire her? It was great to see the girls six years later and I must say all of them look fire, I also see Hayate can walk. I'm also glad she is living with the Knights and is keeping in touch with Graham. I guess he finally told her he was the sponsor and was able to atone for what he did, from what I've seen they seemed to close too. The knights didn't age at all since looking at Vita who's still a loli. As for Nanoha I see she is a combat instructor and Fate is an Enforcer, I guess they're still continuing their journey. It also seems like everyone is working for the Bureau. Overall this was a great series with good writing and likable characters. Besides Aruf, the writer was able to use his large characters well and was able to make the story flow with top action and a good plot. He executed the ending well, where everyone would be satisfied with the happy ending. The time skip was a nice top up to keep us updated with the characters. This is my favorite mahou shoujo series, because the writer knows his stuff when executing the plot. I've watched Madoka way way before this one but it doesn't compare to this one IMO. Too bad it doesn't have so many members, I guess people missed out on a great series. 9/10. next season. |

| Honestly, I'd like they would make a little bit less time to fights, and more time to scenes of talking things over with friends and family.. But well, what can you do.. And we get epilogue, on the other hand, which is nice.. ;P |
| Heartfelt finally, tbh it was kinda hard to rate and score this, certainly it is better than S1, but how much, and did it live up to my expectations from what I wanted to see the most?! A big NO for the later, like the later half of S1 had me shipping Nanoha x Fate more than this, I was getting yuri tingles the first few episodes but after that, DISAPPOINTING. And the action was indeed better, but I dont feel it was such a major improvement there either, whoever what S2 did better, way so, were the characters, I started the anime hating the villains, solely to grown fond of Sigmund and then sympathize with them all after episode 6, it was very well setup and I enjoyed seeing Hayate's tale of growth. This is how you make great villains, if you could still call them that after episode 6, Nanoha and Fate had plently of badass scenes (only the yuri lacked, MAJOR, not even hugs or blushes any longer). In the end I m conflicted, I wanted more yuri bait, yet what I got left me more engaged emotionally with a wider range of characters than S1 ever did, and now I definitly want to see them all working together on Strikers, maybe there I will get more yuri baiting for Nanoha x Fate? 8.6/10 = 9 Vizard said: Fate's so unlimitedly sexy as an adult. True words, it is the most sexy version of hers, but tbh, I really cant see the characters as 9y old here, this iteration of Fate for most of the early series doesnt seem that younger from someone like Louise from ZnT. A nine's year body isnt that curvy or sexy so GTFO is what I have to say, still while she was already kinda sexy and very COOL (love her outfit) younger, this older version of hers, BIG BOOBS, YESSS... shame we couldnt see her in that outfit! No man could resist to a mature and charming Fate, she is soo badass and alluring, elegant and noble~~ Nanoha looked way prettier older too, prefer to see her one side ponytail, also fuck for romance between her and the ferret, want to make me puke?! I only ship yuri on this!! |

| Good to hear that Hayate will eventually become fully healed but didn't want to hear Reinforce saying she will sacrifice herself, even though it will stop the control program sad to see her leave so soon after become friends with Hayate. Nanoha & Fate have the tough task of sending her away by request, not surprised that Hayate sensed what was going on and rushed to the scene, and that was a very sad and emotional moment they shared before Reinforce disappeared, but she did leave behind a fragment of herself for Hayate. Nanoha & Fate have an even tougher task of trying to explain everything to Arisa & Suzuka and then with the help of Lindy to Nanoha's entire family. Ah a time skip of six years, everyone is going to the same school together, we get to see Hayate walk fine, thought it was funny seeing Vita about to walk Zafira like a normal dog, Chrono takes over the role of captain from Lindy who is now also Fates mother. Nanoha, Fate & Hayate with the new Reinforce all set up together to end the episode and series. 10/10 Outstanding from start to finish. |

| I liked this season so much more, first season had the foundation but I felt it was taking itself too seriously, this one had the perfect tone, I know this show came first but it really reminds me of Symphogear, a cool show full of passion from the staff that just keeps getting better. |
