The first 3 eps already aired and what are your thoughts about StrikerS so far?
For me, I'm a little bit disappointed. Episode 1 was very kickass. But 2&3 were basically just two whole eps about "Let's form a new unit". Nothing really happened except the nonstop praising "Ah Instructor Nanoha" here and so on. But the preview for ep 4 looked promising again.
hmm, i think that it's ok for the 1st 3 esp. well, they got to intro some new char, n afterall, thr is a 10 yrs gaps after A's they nid to cover up. not every1 is a manga reader n noe wads going on in between this 10 yrs. but this is a 26 esp long esp, so i think using the 1st few esp to intro n get us to the storyline is not a bad idea =D
I think it's a good thing that they are providing some background information and looking at the start of the unit rather than tossing us into the action.
yes, for a 13 ep series this would be a slow start....but it had at least double the amount of eps, so it has a lot of time to flesh things out
It's got plenty of potential at this point. Episode 4 did indeed seem to indicate it's going to get better from here on though as the training arc is pretty much over (not going to say any more for those who haven't watched it), so stick with it. The series won't disappoint, I'm sure of that much.
That said I've enjoyed all the episodes so far, but I can see why people are keen to get into the action after A's :D
I preferred 2 & 3 to 1. Not too keen on the new cast members.
No complaints here. I like the new cast, eriol most of all. And i agree that since this season is near double that of the last 2 in episodes they should draw out the story a bit more. I really hope they do a good flash back to that event with Nanoha and vita where nanoha gets badly hurt and all. A whole ep dedicated that that event and such would make me very happy ^^
No complaints from me so far, aside from a slightly sub-par art level IMO. Still, it's a 26 episode season this time, so I think it's rather unfair to judge it this early as a failure (or a success for that matter).
Its getting better, nothing but good things about this season so far.
If we think of Nanoha's first season and A's as a single 26 episode series, the first 13 episodes are like the set-up to the awesomeness of the second half of the series (A's), as Nanoha and the "good guys" have already been introduced and the producers could jump right into the action.
In that sense, StrikerS' slow start is a given, as we need to get used to the new setting (military life vs school life), new world (Midchilda), new characters, and also how our Aces and friends have changed in the last 10 years. Still, I dont think it will need 13 episodes to build all that up. In fact, after episode 4 I believe all the introductions are over.
So far, I'm loving StrikerS for its nice, smooth pace (similar to the first season), and I'm excited to know that it has the potential of becoming even better than A's. As Varion said, the series surely wont disappoint.
