Teana is said partner’s name, and even though she’s probably the weakest of the new bunch, she compliments Subaru’s abilities very well, and vice versa. It also helps that her and her partner in crime are really great together~ ![]() With her trusty gauntlet, Doomfist Subaru was definitely my favorite out of the four new mages, and I think she was a perfect fit for this show. More than any of the four, you could say that Subaru is the closest thing to a main protagonist (at least for the early portion of the season), and after being saved as a child by Nanoha, she’s aspires to be just like the Ace of Aces. To me, they still can’t hold a candle to the main characters that were introduced during the first two seasons, but just as the song says, the kids are alright. After two seasons with the brunt of the focus squarely resting on Nanoha and Fate, it took some time for me to grow to appreciate Subaru, Teana, Caro, and Erio. I’ll admit that early on, I wasn’t really a huge fan of the new forwards. On the plus side, the new protagonists come with a decent amount of character development, and seeing Nanoha and Fate all grown-up is a little weird, but very, very cool. The story is still nearly as cliché as ever-but I doubt many people are interested in Nanoha for its story anyway-so despite the Saint Church and the various branches of the TSAB armed forces overstaying their welcome with me, that doesn’t really interfere with the action.Ī more grounded in reality story (even though it’s still plenty cheesy) makes sense, given how the girls have gotten older and more involved with the TSAB, but without strong, engaging antagonists, I felt like the story struggled a bit to live up to its potential. I think part of that is due to the more military-centric approach of StrikerS, which just feels very different than the first two seasons. Scaglietti, Combat Cyborgs, and Artificial Mages play very important roles in the story, yet I never quite found these aspects as interesting as the Wolkenritter and the Book of Darkness from A’s. “After two seasons with the brunt of the focus squarely resting on Nanoha and Fate, it took some time for me to grow to appreciate Subaru, Teana, Caro, and Erio.” Seeing fresh faces that you’re not yet attached to destroy Gadget Drones that lack any semblance of personality isn’t exactly ideal, but once business starts to pick up and the villains appear, things definitely get more interesting. ![]() On the plus side, it allowed plenty of time to get to know these new characters a bit better, but I would’ve liked things to have started to pick up a little faster. Where the first season sort of dragged its feet and spent too much time doing nothing, StrikerS goes ahead and spends a lot of time early on centering around the training of the new forwards, and for me at least, it grew pretty monotonous. ![]() With Nanoha and the crew firmly entrenched in their roles at the TSAB, the early portions of the story focus on the incoming group of aspiring mages, and in doing so, I’m reminded a little bit of the very first season. Unlike the first two seasons, StrikerS is a two-cour season, so getting a better view of Nanoha‘s world is in order, and that’s exactly what we get. Introducing new characters as well: Subaru, Teana, Caro and Erio. They must unite once again to save the dimensions. Nanoha is a combat instructor, Fate is a special investigator, and Hayate is a commanding officer. Synopsis: Set 10 years after Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A’s, Nanoha, Fate, Hayate and the rest of the crew are now working full time in the Time-Space Administration Bureau. ![]() Genre: Action, Comedy, Drama, Magic, Super Power
