Strike it REAL HARD with Nanoha StrikerS!!!!!!
Hello, once again readers! I'm glad that you are going read through this post. I had done a review about the two of the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha series, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha and Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's. Well, I going to review another one more, which is Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS.
You might be asking, "Why only Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS?" Well, I answer that later on this post. Let's move on, shall we?
WARNING:-
SPOILER ALERT!!! If you haven't watched it and plan to watch it without anyone being the spoiler, please DON'T CONTINUE READING!!!
P.S. If you want to be spoiled, well, go ahead and read it. You have been warned.
Now...Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS!!!
Well, you wanna know why I pick StikerS only instead of ViVid. Well, it is because ViVid is a relatively different story compared to StrikerS and it has a HUGE chance of getting a second season (and I want to review both seasons together as season 1 ended awkwardly). About ViVid Strike, I will review it a little bit later after ViVid Strike anime ends and most likely before Nanoha Vivid season 2 starts. SO...let's get started with it!
The story starts with a completely different character, a girl whose name is Subaru Nakajima, was saved by Nanoha in a fire. Well, why it is a different character? It's because this story takes place ten years after the events of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's. Feels logical? Never mind. BTW, at this time, Subaru and her best friend Teana Lanster are taking a rank-up test. Cut the long story short, they somehow entered a newly-formed group, the Lost Property Riot Force 6, which is formed by Nanoha, Fate and Hayate who works in the Time-Space Administration Bureau. There is also another two more people who will be joining them as well, Erio Mondial and Caro.
Well, at first, the team have a little bit of a rough start. Later, they found that they are facing up against the Jail Scaglietti, a dangerous criminal after the Lost Logia (or the lost technology like the Jewel Seed). This guy is somehow sponsored by an insider. How? Well, go and watch yourself. It is really dark and it feels dark. Ain't it?
This season of the Nanoha series is quite divisive among Nanoha fans. I know why and how it feels. It was like when Aikatsu enters its '3rd season' (or its third year of airing it). During Aikatsu's 3rd year, the original main casts are replaced by another different bunch of cast and I don't really like that at first. BTW, there is a WordPress blogger talked about the Nanoha series (not including Nanoha Vivid), this is how he describes Nanoha StrikerS:
I can't any video of it YouTube, but well, I found it HERE!!!
WOW...you have read till the end. That was a long trip. Here, I would like to thank you for reading this post until the end. God bless you and see you next time!

Wow, that is QUITE STRONG of a comment. As for me, I enjoyed it. The pacing is fine, the story is intriguing and touching at times, AND the action is great. Yeah, put me in the camp that really like StrikerS as I would like to put it. So, whether you like it or not, after watching it, it's up to you, it depends on your preference and your liking. Well, here is it, the usual 'service'."Put me in the camp that didn't really like StrikerS all that much. Don’t misunderstand. It had excellent action, reasonably good pacing, and some very easily relatable characters with a dramatic back story and introduced a hefty dose of mage politics into the Nanoha-verse. The raid on the Cradle was probably one of the more epic moments in franchise history. It broadened the scope of the universe while keeping many of the core elements intact, an impressive feat. ….But none of this really changes the fact that the series is not what is advertised. StrikerS is almost a spin off show. Almost. And that almost is the problem. It’s like trying to watch a season of The Justice League where they play second fiddle as background support to the Teen Titans. I’d be a little irritated. That doesn't mean I don’t like the Teen Titans, actually I find them great. But I came here to see Batman and Superman and Wonder Woman team up and kick ass, not these kids. If I wanted that, I’d watch the show labelled “Teen Titans” and not “Justice League”."
