Well, you know there’s something called the “internet”? You know that there are certain not so perfectly legit sites out there…
And you know that when you’re a fan of Yukarin and Nana-chan…?
Well, lo and behold, I got all the Nanoha seasons…hey, sue me.
(Actually, on second thought, don’t. Because now I’m nearly flat broke. Except I live in Taiwan and somehow I’m surviving.)
Nanoha is a magical girl show that take the classic formula and adds a lot of emotional struggles and drama. Stuff that used to appear in the last four episodes of every Sailor Moon series (yes, I watched every episode and movie of Sailor Moon), appears very early in Nanoha. But the classic qualities of a magical girl is there – compassion, understanding, a fighting stick, a magical animal…
OK wait, WHO THE HELL MAKE THE STICK COMPUTER ACTIVATED??? Oh sure, we’re told that it’s still about magical powers, but hey!
Road Siruva Cartriji (Load silver cartrige)!
That’s a second seson thing. I’m only on episode 4 of season 2.
OK, OK, let me get this straight, so…this show was massively popular so that’s why they made FOUR seasons, right?
I dunno. I kind of like it. Even though it’s really because Tamura Yukari (YUKARINNNN) and Mizuki Nana are in it. Oh and Fate is soooooo cute!
Other than that, it really doesn’t impress an anime veteran that much. I do feel that unlike the classic magical girl show with like 40 + episodes, it’s nice to see everything wrap up in 13 episodes. I do also have to say that, damn, the new millenium magical girl shows sure are rather unhappy at times.
Not to mention Nanoha gets her ass kicked so often it is not even funny. What happened to super power ups and transformations in the middle of desperation?
The 21 century is desperate and ass-sucking indeed. Fuck the new millenium.
