All of the promo material downplays Nanoha and Fate as much as they seem to think they can get away with. I'm not watching Lyrical Nanoha for these new OCs. I'm here to watch the adventures of Nanoha Takamachi and her wife. Simple as.

>b-but there's nothing inherently wrong with telling stories about different characters in the same setting
Then call it Lyrical Someone Else. If her name is in the fuckin' title, then I expect the story to be about her.

>>287516247
I clocked out of this series after s2. It's not worth it.

>>287516247
It looks fine, the Exceeds manga has also been fine, but I don't disagree with >>287516324

>>287516247
I love these character designs but am not as much a fan of the battle outfits from the other key art. So I assume these designs will get like two minutes of screen time in total

Japan's motto is "if ain't broken, don't fix it". Besides, yurifags are convinced they're canon so what's the point

>>287516247
It's alright but I can't say >>287516324 is entirely wrong.

I'm wary. Optimistic, but wary. They can deliver, but it can also backfire.

I'm just happy for more Prinsesu VA

Aren't Nanoha and Fate getting cool moments in the manga?

we desperately need more magical girls in business attire

feels like an original IP the haphazardly slapped the Nanoha name on but I'll check it out

I'll watch anything where Nanoha has a chance of being badass.

>>287516247
I mean its fine. I wish it was more Nanoha and Fate centered but at this point, I think they just want to use the names and characters to skyrocket another side franchise, like they did with vivio.

>>287516247
>not loli
To the garbage, where it belongs.

>>287523666
They're supposedly 13 in this series but they look older than that.

The main issue is that what they really want is go back to the past when Nanoha was much more profitable. However they can't go back to loli Nanoha because the market is done with lolis, so they want shipping back in the series since it was a big thing back then, but no one is going to ship Nanoha and Fate again, this ship has long sailed and a new timeline is not going to fix this and the more they try to work around this, the more they risk people getting upset. So they are moving to the next thing which is focusing on the story or in new characters, they tried the former with Force and flopped, they tried the later with Vivio and it flopped. So now you are basically getting a mix of the two but with completely different characters of course.

The irony is that there was never any reason to actually make a new timeline, they ended exactly in the same place they were before lol.

>>287523689
Age is, as they say, just a number.
Being 13 could be fine, but the design obviously not being loli is deliberate and has lost all appeal to me.

>>287523849
>However they can't go back to loli Nanoha because the market is done with lolis
Are you talking about female children as main characters in general or specifically involving fanservice? Because if the former there is literally a magical girl series with a JS protag this season (LuluttoLilly). If the latter, there's no reason they couldn't go back to being young and just not do the fanservice. Though it's less a requirement and more self censorship anyway I believe so they could probably still put in some fanservice if they wanted.

>>287524145
Not him, but point is - little girls/lolis are not allowed to be involved in series for lolicon. LuluttoLily, or really anything that came out with "lolis" lately (there are a lot) have no catering to the problematic creeps, so to speak.
And anime industry rides on appealing to a target audience. Nanoha without fanservice would be like...well, like World Witches without fanservice. Which also happened now that I think of it (Luminous Witches). It basically buried the franchise's attempt at a revival.

>>287524145
Of course I am talking about fanservice, loli as a product lost all appeal when fanservice was gone, they can techinically make a young Nanoha series, they just won't make money from it.

>>287523689
That don't look 13 at all, what the hell. They look like their StrikerS selves.

>>287524268
I think Strike Witches leans much more ecchi than Nanoha, plus for Luminous Witches they also changed how the powers worked with physical familiar. And that it wasn't an action series. So it was more about getting rid of the series' identity, which I don't think would be the same if you made a loli Nanoha series with less fanservice. Plus shit like Nukitashi still had loli fanservice from what I understand even if the nudity was relegated to the home release. Nanoha has never had that kind of nudity to require that.

And outside of this whole argument, do you think making a loli Nanoha anime without fanservice would be worse financially than making a Nanoha anime with minimal participation from the main characters?

On a scale of 1-10 how much of a tomboy is Nanoha

>>287519087
That's a generalization, we still get a lot of innovation in all types of Japanese media, even if one third of new anime each season is now isekai.
Also, even if Nanoha and Fate are canonically married in the main continuity, this is a new timeline, so they can spend more time developing their relationship and the fans will be happy.

>>287524412
Yes, I think so, since lolicons themselves have moved from anime medium.

Nanoha was super feminine before A's despite her cool moments. It was basically a japanese feminine and global feminine pairing.

>>287525472
What was different about her in the original compared to A's?

A 4 at most maybe? She's feminine, but she also does a few things that are not typically feminine in Japanese culture.

>>287525238
Cool piece of western opinion, Anon. I also used to write tumblrs in denial when an anime couple I didn't like won. In retrospective, mines were probably as bad and as full of disinformation as yours.

>>287516247

Lyrical Nanoha stopped being relevant when the NanoFate ship sailed while telling the supposed male love interests to fuck right off.

The franchise should restart with Nanoha and Fate having hetero ships in the spotlight instead of homo ships. And also focus more on upskirt panty shot fan service. Maybe gain some more fans by catering to them instead for forcing them to walk away (and take their money with them).

I kind of hate it. why does this alternate timeline shit have to exist?

>>287516247
I hate these designs

>>287526250
Almost every adult male otaku prefers loli yuri to generic male love interest, new friend.

>>287526660

Protip: Have the male NOT be generic.

Protip 2: the pedophilic male otaku crowd is not as big as you think it is anymore.

>>287526734
>you think
I don't think it is big. I know most lolicons have moved from anime, and it's now a kids' normalfag tier medium. But that has nothing to do with what I said; adult male otaku will still prefer loli yuri couple instead of a teen male protag which is rarely anything more than just an annoying kid self insert.

>>287526791
>most lolicons have moved from anime
Have they? Moved to what?

>>287526886
Pro-lolicon medium, obviously. Which is sadly (aside from R18 content which is a different story) pretty much the most cancerous by default, gachatrash (only the more niche now) and Vtumors.

are there any other sci-fantasy mahoushoujo like this? I thought that spin on it was so cool.

>They also don't have their curvy milf bodies from StrikerS or ViVid yet
So if they aren't targeting lolicons or milf lovers, who is the target audience this time around?

Nobody is expecting on-screen intimacy in a franchise full of married couples but with almost no on-screen romance, gay or otherwise.

I feel like everyone forgot about that extremely fruity girly run she did in the first episode. With the wrists and everything.

Nanoha is so cool in the Exceed Manga, I hope she is as cool in the anime as well
