(thanks to the respective fnasubbers/scanlators)
>>2309395
Thanks for that.
VividTrans released chapter 73 of ViVid today
https://vividtranslations.com/2017/04/11/vivid-73-joining-the-trials/Long hair suits Nove so well~
Also it was to be expected that Ein would fell for the disguise
>>2309290
Is the gloating really necessary, Nanoha?
>>2309629
It is VERY necessary. She got the girl of her dreams at a young age.
>>2309290
>Nanoha put her hand on Fate's butt.
That kind of steps out of subtext territory, doesn't it?
>>2309697
That's from the movie 1st manga, by the time that was out NanoFate was the effigy of married gay couples on Mid Childa.
Speaking of which, if the movies are real in-universe films, I wonder if the movie manga is too?
>>2309704
Manga is different from the movie, so no.
I hope we get NanoFate highschool days at some point.
>>2309629
Everyone in Mid-Childa seems to think Fate is incredibly hot and she spends a lot of time on different planets probably being preyed on by green-skinned alien babes. A certain amount of territory-marking is only reasonable.
>>2310118
Why sonic form, why?
I would explode if he drew her in StrikerS Impulse form!
Still nice though, costume swaps are great.Fate a la Ingvalt when?
Can Vivio and Miura get any more useless?
>>2310241
Vivio could get her core back, but Muria is hopeless.
Can adult nanoha have sex with loli fate and viceversa?
>>2310566
Sure, why not.
>>2310566
Adult Fate would read little Nanoha a fairy tale.
That doujin was too short, damnit.
>>2310670
There is a manga like that in A la Carte too.
>>2310672
Mind posting it?
>>2310690
Upon further inspection it was what you posted, that's the one from A la Carte.
>>2310704
That wasn't me, but thanks all the same.
I wasn't sure. I thought there might be something else with NanoFate age gap.
>>2310707
There is nothing more in manga as far as I remember, but if you're good with doujins there is Girls by Sea Star, and a futa one with better art by another artist.
>>2310707
There is another one where Fate ends up with a magical little-kid version of Fate and brings her home.
When are they going to make a fig for Fuuka?
New chapter of InnocentS out:
http://aritedrop.blogspot.ca/2017/04/nanoha-innocents-chapter-13.html
I wonder who Tea will be.
>>2310719
Source of that picture?
>>2313121
Ixy makes sense, she has a close tie with Subby since she saved her.
>>2313196
Senya Sabou - adult Fate and child Nanoha
Futanari warning for good measure.
>>2312937
This thing should really be called Nanoha MaterialS. Or Material InnocentS.
>>2313372
Loli Tea is a miracle of the universe.Loli Blue Nove is cute too.
Signum is popular with girls
>>2313372
That's a really cool costume for Tea.
>>2310835
Okay that kid has to be Alicia. Lolifate would never have the guts to go for the gusto like that.
>>2313933
She seems to be right handed.
There is something about this artist that I just love.
>>2314949
Looks like Einhart and Rinne going to double-team her in bed next.
>>2314955
Neither Einhart or Rinne seem like the type to share.
>>2315900
Definitely true for Rinne, but Einhart seems like the type to be into threesomes as is evident by the fact that Vivio isn't enough for her.
>>2315919
I think she would only do a threesome if she wasn't competing with another party. She wants to be in control and receive all the attention.
>>2315931
To be fair, in a threesome with Rinne and Fuuka she would be in control and receive all the attention. Both of them idolize her.
>>2315935
I doubt Rinne would idolize her when Fuuka is being stolen.
>>2315939
You underestimate Haru-nyan's charm, not to mention how much of an M Rinne really is, she could tame Rinne immediately if she wanted to.
Just imagine the women you build your entire career around fucking your girlfriend in front of you. Rinne would love every second of it.
>>2315951
I just can't see it happening. I feel like if Ein ever tried to thief her away from Fuuka she would use her retard strength to kill her.
>>2315956
And Haru-nyan would then proceed to pin her down to the bed and teach her who the real champion is.
>>2315974
Rinne would probably cheat and sucker punch her when she wasn't looking.
>>2315977
Sucker punching her can't be that easy. Haru-nyan used to train with Vivio and her moveset is almost all counters and suckerpunchs. She must be used to them by now.
Goddamit this was supposed to be a threesome but now I can't stop imagine Rinne and Einhart wrestling in bed while Fuuka is just sitting in a corner, naked and confused. You ruined my fantasy.
>>2315995
They would probably fight to the death and then the winner would force themselves on Fuuka.
>>2315935
Einhart is only interesting as a fighter to her.

Chapter 74 of Vivid out.
Fuuka needs more love. Where is her second season?
>>2316435
>Rinne's tits sure are huge.
>Are they C cup... or maybe even D cup...?
>...Hey, Rinne. Is it all right if I fondle you?
>Direct Challenge
>What are you saying... No!
>If you want to fondle something so much, why don't you use a boob mousepad!?
>...Hey, Rinne. Is it all right if I violate you?
>What are you stupid!? That's even worse!
>>2318227
Ha, I just saw that too. The guy has lots of Nanoha pictures, but is kinda weaponfag.
https://twitter.com/gevolutionist/media
>>2318231
Rinne and Fuuka are human weapons.
>>2318240
Why is Vita wearing a bra?
>>2318245
She's playing pretend with Vivio.
>>2318227
This better be what season two is about.
>>2318245
Oh it's Vita. The hair color fooled me, I was wondering if it is supposed to be age-regressed Nanoha or what.
>>2318277
How? There only one blue eyed redhead in the franchise.
>>2316995
>What are you stupid!? That's even worse!
Worse? Or better?
>>2318288
But I've read the hair color as brown -> Nanyuha.
>>2316419
Damn I've missed Einhart's serious and perplexed faces. It just wasn'T her in VS.
>>2318296
Different coloring by different artist
>>2318652
A third one appears.
>>2318652
Shittiest character
>>2318691
Be kind
Haha, Einhart just can't help it. Good dyke!
>Nove started to grow her hair after that as shown in VS

We might get two more InnocentS this week.
>>2321755
I want to like the new designs but I don't think I can.
>>2321788
They'll grew out of them in a few years.
>>2321819
Puberty was rough on them I guess.
>>2321788
I kind of think the gangly, non-sexualized early puberty look is refreshing.
>>2321788
I think it looks pretty good anon. What part of the design don't you like? Just curious.
>>2322050
I don't know. I just don't feel like it looks right. I can't really explain it.
>>2322056
Plenty of anons have explained why the designs are shit already.
>>2322058
Not really. They've complained, though.
From the short lived /a/ thread of today.
Arf is sadly already reduced to shadow of her mighty past self.
>>2322171
Neither busty nor muscular.
I get the feeling they hate her original design.
>>2322168
Where does this fall in the chronology?
Is it finally something between A's and StrikerS or is it yet another AU?
>>2322272
More TSAB propaganda.
>>2322272
IIRC it should be about 2-3 years after As events. 11-12years old NFH, Hayate already has Small Boss.
>>2321788
Still better than A1-Picture... Seriously compare Nanoha Vivid and Vivid Strike anime... You'll almost want to vomit.
Translation for chapter 75 of Vivid out:
https://vividtranslations.com/2017/04/27/vivid-75-hidden-power/
I don't read nip but I think they released a new cd.
>>2323274
>Yumina and Einhart making a heart-hand
Every time they release something Vivio's soul dies a little more inside.
>>2323282
It's a bad time to be Vivio
>>2323282
how long until Fate beats them both up?
>>2323289
No, Vivio needs to beat up Ein to win her back. This is Nanoha rules.
>>2323274
What emotion is this face trying to convey?
>>2323366
"why didn't my momma kill me when she had the chance."
>>2323366
I dunno, but her showing three fingers might mean she is willing to have a 3P with Einhart and Yumina.
>>2323370
It's at the point now where Vivio would be the one holding the camera.
>>2323378
The only thing more pathetic than Vivio is probably Miruia. It's probably why Vivio targets her now.
>>2323380
"adult mode"
>>2323385
She's smiling on the outside but she's dead on the inside.
>>2323380
>>2323396
Does she ever not make a stupid face?
>>2323404
Even her >durrrrr face was better in Vivid though. 7arcs has degraded so much since their 2004-2007 glory.
Character page for the movie updated:
http://nanoha.com/character_list.html
>>2323274
Following the girls arms to find their hands shows some interesting results. It is almost an optic illusion. At first glance I'd have never realized that Einhart is not making the heart alone and that her other hand is actualy on her face, or that Yumina is touching herself with her free hand, also Fuuka is holding both mics.
It was fun.
>>2323561
They really mean it with the Yumina-Einhart shipping, don't they. Traitorous bastards.
>>2323566
At this position not I'm pretty sure they have a strong dislike for Vivio and want her to suffer before making the manga about Einhart.
>>2323573
Or they hated Einhart too and want to "wrap her up" and put aside - making her a champion offscreen, pairing her off with somebody random invented for that only, so that the ship with Vivio is burried. All that is needed next is to stop showing her and let people forget.
>>2323561
Nah, the other mic is held by Rinne (see, it's a right hand). Fuuka's left hand is hidden behind it.
>>2323366
It's funny how Vivid Strike did a better job being Nanoha than Vidid's Manga / Anime
>>2323735
I hope this is the start of a trend. I really don't like the direction ViVid took the series.
>Otto's tie
>>2323737
It is. Vivid strike moved the franchise to its next stage, vivid is literally in the past now.
>>2323749
At this point Fuka and Rinne are the current protagonists
Einhart became Senpai and Vivio is now girl in the background number 1
I still like my ancient Belkans. I wish they actually did something with them though. Like, Einhart's family etc etc don't get me started.
>>2323931
Yes, that was the whole point?
People seem to hate A1 (dunno if there is a good purpose, I almost don't watch current anime at all), but you have to give them that Vivid Strike looks way shittier than what they did in Vivid TV.
At least for the side characters. 7arcs did okay job with the design and art of the newcomers (Jill, Yumina, Fuuka and particularly Rinne). Those look ok, but the rest consisting of ex-Vivids look fulltime-QUALITY and very generic.
>>2323941
7arcs has never been good at animation. There's plenty of QUALITY in the background of the first three seasons. It's a bit sad that they haven't improved, though.
>>2323941
Eh, I meant good reason, not purpose. Screw work, it harms your brain.
>>2323945
Sure, there was quality too, and style changes in an odd ep or two (#5 in S1). But they nailed the basis - to have cute chara designs in the slow/static shots. That's the start, it has to look good. And S1/S2/StrikerS and movies did.
In motion, it can look a bit worse and Fate's leotard can look like a thong, but whatever, as long as your fundament looks good, the anime looks good.
But Vivid Strike just gave no effort and Einhart, Vivio, Miura, Riona, Corona, Nove and all their pals just look like shit, very bland. It kinda harms the whole anime, they look too generic.
As/S1 had even the minor people look good.
>>2323950
>Riona
Aw, here it strikes again. Sorry for that.
I should check the BDs, but iirc the Vivids weren't improved, really. And I also only watched Vivid TV from tvraws (my, the QUALITY around episode 7 was terrible - but they kept the overall style good looking and cute, that was important).
Already fanarts.
>>2324103
>>2324103
>>2324104
cruel
Hmm, so no InnocentS this week in the end. Oh well, it still seems like the scnalator wants to pick up pace (which already happened) and not too many chapters are missing, so at least it won'T be over so soon.
>>2323538
Oh hey we got designs for the new zappers.
>>2324254
I really hope they didn't scrap the BFS.
>>2324255
Also casual clothes
>tanuki tail
This is Syu's fault, isn't it?
>>2323366
Is Fuji trying to make her look uglier? Every other character in the full picture looks great but she's the odd one out.
>>2324302
Looks fine to me. She's the youngest kid form them.
>>2324313
If you say so, but she looks very strange.
Hmm, I just watched the start of the second episode of Vivid after some time.
It goes so nicely, exactly what I would like to see from Nanoha Mk.II. Too bad the manga couldn't follow that path through for somewhat more serious plot, more serious belkan stuff and more meaningful befriending and so on.
I guess there would still be people hating it, but if Subaru with Teana didn't take Einhart to their den of depravity straight away and we at lest get the classic secret/masked fighter plot for a season (few manga volumes), damn it would have been good. And it could at lest have established Einhart/Vivio and perhaps the other Belkan descendants as more serious mages/fighters, possibly paving way for their involvement in Force-like serious sequels.
>>2324206
Is InnocentS still publishing?
>>2324419
Nope, Volume 3 is the last one.
>>2324465
Is volume 3 the one getting translated now?
Chinese scans for chapter 96 of Vivid:
https://tieba.baidu.com/p/5093174111
>>2324483
Yeah, should be just 4 chapters left or so I think.Einhart with Vivio too late to save it.
Can Bardiche be considered an honorary lesbian?
>>2324539
Yes sir.
>>2324513
Thanks for the link. Hoho, not bad. I still think it is not in character for them to harm each other, even in some sort of controlled fight (when it doesn't have any rational purpose too).
>>2323941
No I will not give them that, just because they changed the production company doesn't mean the quality should go down to drain. The sequels should at least have some decent level of resemblance to the prequels when they switch production, I have never seen animes with such a 180-turn in quality until I saw Vivid and I'm usually not that nit-picky when it comes to quality. Sure Vivid Strike could be bland in its own ways, but Vivid Strike at least gives the feel like Nanoha franchise. 7Arc is not a great production company, but they should always do Nanoha franchise.
>>2324760
>I have never seen animes with such a 180-turn in quality until I saw Vivid
Did you not see StrikerS?
>>2324951
A's was pretty bad with it too. 7arcs just can't into TV scheduling.
>>2310110
I second this, hopefully with full on screen yuri as well.
>>2325103
I doubt that will happen, that ship sailed long ago. Make it Fuuka and Rinne in high school and it would be the same thing though.
>>2324951
I wouldn't be around if I'm not a fan of theENTIREfranchise to begin with, would I.(Also fan of the lesbianism of the franchise, which is why I'm actually here)
I paid more attention to the story than the quality, so what if 7Arc does have some quality issues back then and now? To me the quality wasn't too problematic except for Vivid, because the characters colors in Vivid were noticeably different than the others and had bigger eyes. I don't hate A-1 personally, it just that Vivid TV looks weird-er than the rest of the franchise.
>>2325131
It looks different but IMHO it matched the tone of the Vivid manga quite well and making a distinction between it and the "adult" Nanoha (I mean adult int he plot character, S1, S2 and StrikerS) was good since it distanced the SoL sport action from the original high stake incident plots.
The art already telling you to expect something esle was a good thing and the variety is not necessarily bad - the supplementary mangas before also had quite different style.
The Fuuka-Rinne thing in VS did have some of the bigger pressing drama of older Nanohas, but it got kind of half-assed by not very good direction and screenplay problems that managed to dull it a lot. I think it would still work pretty good if set with the Vivid TV art-style. (There isn't really any overlap in characters besides Nove and few other numbers cameos, anyway.)
http://zeria-scans.tumblr.com/post/160153827399/recollections-by-furafurahinatabokko-club
>>2325156
The art says nothing to me, I get that Vivid's plot is different than most of Nanoha franchise's dramaticness but was it necessary to change the art that much?
Short story, I'm just still pissed off to this day that why did Vivid TV not stick with 7Arc.
I kind of liked Fuuka-Rinne stuff, probably because I can somewhat relate to a similar but not exact situations I have in my life right now. But I will say that I almost expect an actual Big-bad like most Nanoha series that would have required them to fight together and that was a bit disappointing to me.
>>2325471
That's cute, thanks.
>>2325491
>But I will say that I almost expect an actual Big-bad like most Nanoha series that would have required them to fight together and that was a bit disappointing to me.
Yeah, pretty much I agree with that. Or it needed to provide some other sense of necessity for the fights.
Without that, we got absurd shit like good people around them arranging the final fight, merrily cheering and nobody fearing a thing. And worse, it getting STREAMED out to random people... and loving parents who should absolutely hate to see the cute daughteru suffer. Damn that was so awkward. Rinne-Fuuka still nice, story about helping a lost friend is as good as saving universe to me, but it could have been done much better.
>>2321820
Well I think her getting such a huge rack as an adult couldn't have been easy on her
>>2325156
It didn't match the tone of the vivid manga. Vivid is all about fanservice and fighting. A1's ugly palette and designs were not cute enough to be attractive nor dynamic enough for an sports anime. As much as the BDs fixed a lot of stuff it still failed to convey the manga's appeal.
>>2325528
Well, tastes vary. It's possibly mine is in minority, but I think the palette is good (on my PC screen at lest, my TV plays it too brightly, but so it does with everything) and the designs were good, even if different from how Takuya draws.
>>2325156
> It looks different but IMHO it matched the tone of the Vivid manga quite well
That has more to do about how the adaption played out, for the most part. Vivid TV never got into the whole tournament arc dynamic opting to adapt the first few chapters, which with 12 allotted episodes took up most of the time.
It could be possible to condense that BUT... those chapters pretty much lay out how Vivio and Einhart relationship, which is something that most fans of Vivid (and let's face it, all of /u/) have an attachment to. There is no real promise that cutting that time would leave the relationship in tact in the same manner, and we know that fans would have a fit if that wasn't the case.
Truth is even with that both Vivid the manga and Vivid the TV show doesn't have much to entertain with unless you are really into the shipteasing, or the whole tournament arc. Which, when you compare it to the rest of the franchise, is MUCH different in tone. There is no sci-fi back drop, the military angle is near non-existent (which we can blame StrikerS for), the way that magic is used has changed (more of a contact thing than traditional spells), there is no really mystery to solve (Einhart starts out as one but it is resolved FAST and very little fills that void left by A's/The Original) and again, the cruiser full of characters to support.
>>2325471
heh, that was well written, actually.
I was gonna say that there is no way Fate would get into a fight at that age, that it would have to be just Nanoha getting angry and poor Fate would be perplexed, unhappy and probably rather anxious about the happening - but the doujin exactly nailed that and came with a totally plausible scenario, matching Fate's personality from As completely. It's fucking spot on. And it even doesn't make Nanoha look bad.
Clap clap clap.
This might not be the best place to ask, but anybody got any good wallpapers, preferably with Fate?
>>2325701
Do people even look at their desktop anymore? Anyway, there's a board for anime/wallpapers.
>>2325701
I'm using this outdated calendar at the moment, the art is pretty good. The rest of the pages are here, not sure if the links still work:

Seems that Arf and Yuuno are definitely out of action. Only Chrono might possibly do something in the movie, out of the secondary characters.
>>2326250
Holy shit, please don't ever link anything by that 4D guy again. His "translations" are worse than Google and he constantly spams every single corner of the Nanoha community outside 4chan all day, every day. He's the only thing worse than Bitch-kun. God help us if he ever comes here.
>>2326250
Yunno will probably just start training Arf as his personal slave during the movie to prepare her for the infinite library.
>>2326258
Sucks, I wanted to take a look at the youtube GoD uploads. Oh well.
I decided I should finally complete my scalp collection with the Nanoha Sound Stages, where I only miss the second Movie 2nd disc with Force characters (plus Yagamis) and the GoD sound stages. (Ignoring the unavailable Reflection/VS and Innocent.)
I have the Movie 2nd sound stages, but can't find the GoD sound stage CDs rips anymore. Anybody has pointers or even links? I think they used to be available.
>Nanoha: Nope, we were thinking of heading out for dinner before going home.
>Rein: Oh, really?
>Nanoha: Vivio is on a school trip/training camp, so it’s just the two of us.
>Fate: We’re about to decide on the place to go to.
>Hayate: If that’s the case, then why don’t you come to my place? We can have dinner together.
>Nanoha: Oh, can we?
>Hayate: Of course you ca.
>Rein: Agito and Rein will show off our skills!
>Agito: Yeah! Just leave it to us!
>Fate: If that’s the case, I guess we’ll come.
>Hayate: Sure.
Damn it Hayate, they would obviously end up doing it, if you didn't meddle!
>Isis: Yup Zaffy. Mind if I touch your tail?
>Zafira: Only for a little while.
Haha, everybody wants to.
>Vita: Man that Signum said some strange things, made me remember stuff… Are you watching us up in the sky, Reinforce? Despite being so busy, Hayate and all of us are happy. And I’m doing fine, standing tall and proud. So you don’t have to worry about a thing and just wait for us.
>tall
>Vita
>>2326350
Hayate is offering a threesome. Maybe an orgy if Signum, Vita and Shamal will be there.
>>2326383
Vita can't be involved since she is still a child.
>>2326350
They're having a nostalgic threesome.
>>2326383
Only Rein and Agito are at home, knights are at the base.
>Nanoha: When you remember things back then, it makes you want to fly the night skies again.
>Fate: We were flying mostly at night back then.
>Hayate: Why don’t we go back to that flight area where Vivio and everyone could see the night skyline. We should ask Vivio, her friends, Thoma and the others as well.
>Nanoha: That sounds great.
>Rein: That’s a great idea.
>Hayate: Though, in order to do that, we have to properly take care of any unfinished business/affairs/the case first. Let’s make it the place to go after Section 6 has done its duty and disbanded.
>Fate: I’ll do my best to swiftly resolve this case.
>Nanoha: Yeah.
And then, "hiatus" happened. Les sigh.
>>2326350
They will be watching Rein and Agito showing off their tribbing skills while having a threesome with Hayate.
>syu deleted most of his work from pixiv except for some grandblue shit
Miura is cute when she's embarrassed
I hope that reflection goes well enough so can get a strikers movie too with the gay amp up to 11 I really miss Subaru and Teana.
>>2326250
Wait the TSAB has a base on Earth?
I thought we were an nonadministrated planet, when did they invade us?
>>2327118
They didn't.
My best guess is that they consider Non-administrated planet #97 something of an temporary outpost, The Harlaown's continued to reside in Tokyo(?) since A's from the looks of it and The Arthra likely still remains in orbit for any issues.
>>2327310
Don't forget Fate is on parole so she needs to be monitored.
>>2327310
To keep watch on problematic overpowered little girls.
And Lindy being a super-generous mom. She basically moved to another dimension from her home world just because her freshly adopted daughter could be with her friend she freshly found.
Maybe she already knew it is a marriage opportunity for said daughteru.

>I hope that reflection goes well enough so can get a strikers movie
Could we not?
Given the state of the franchise, it's not unfair to say that StrikerS started a downward spiral.
I don't think that there would be anything to look forward to with a StrikerS movie unless they are looking to pull something like Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie: The Rebellion Story to it and make it a forward looking sequel.
>I really miss Subaru and Teana.
Yeah, I do admit that I miss those idiots.
>>2327311
When I was speaking about the "The Harlaown's", Fate is included in my thinking. She is a member of the family, adopted or not.
>>2327312
> Lindy being a super-generous mom
As nice as she is, it's more a convenience thing. Lindy more or less makes her home on the Arthra and it was really the situation of A's that force her to establish herself on earth.
It's something of an convenience that she doesn't have much to anchor herself down and Fate is a pretty good reason for her to settle a bit.

Nah
>>2328033
Ginga was made for high-impact violence and then princess-carrying with sneaky sideboob touching.
I really liked her so I always roll eyes when peeple start about character bloat. I think StrikerS did a good job using "excess" characters to make the world more lifelike. If there was just 2-3 other people shown besides the core cast, that would be rather weird. So giving at least some people family members instead of the typical anime abandonment was a good touch IMHO.
>>2328090
There was definitely character bloat, but it was in the villains. Pretty much none of the Numbers had any character development at all, which makes it even weirder when they all suddenly have character traits in ViVid.
Three more days until Vivid Party.
>>2328288
Do you have your invitation to the party /u/?
>>2328299
I am that perverted onee-chan who likes to grab girls without consent, so no. But that's fine.
>>2328288
I want to rest my head on Fuuka's butt
>>2328531
Stay away from her butt.
>>2328557
B-but it looks comfy
>>2328564
Back away or I'll do to you what Rinne did to Miura.
>>2328568
Worth it.
>>2328114
That why I think a movie would be good get rid of the fat and keep the good parts.
>>2328033
>Nah
Really? You don't think that StrikerS hasn't diminished the franchise, which gets worse with more series that get added on top of it?
The best thing that can be said about Vivid Strike is that it's been the more focused show of the franchise since. And it did benefit from parting down the cast for the most part.
Which is kind of a shame because Vivid Stirke is rather forgettable.
>>2329051
So, it gets worse with every new series but the last one is an improvement over the one that came before?
Isn't that a bit contradictory?
>>2329051
Fuuka isn't forgettable
>>2329131
Rinne pls
Strike could have been way better with better screenplay/direction.
!
>>2329289
I have high hopes for the second season.
>>2329293
Someone needs to get that artist to draw Fuuka with the concept clothing (1)
>>2329351
If she looked like that in her transformation, there would be no fight in ep10-11. She would just walk away princess-carrying Rinne off.
I'll always be disappointed they didn't go with it. I think it would've looked fucking great with the long hair.
>>2328288
Vivio is an eternal loli...

No?

Translation for chapter 76 of Vivid out:
https://vividtranslations.com/2017/05/05/vivid-76-tao-then-and-now/
Vivid Party happening later today, hopefully we get some news.
>>2329128
A bit, but it is the truth. I enjoyed Vivid Strike much more than Vivid itself, which is rather telling since I could not stand Vivid in any medium and have to agree that Force was a undercooked mess.
It's that, for the franchise, Vivid Strike doesn't really do anything new and again there is little that I found memorable outside of Rinne's snapping in episode 4.
>>2329301
Maybe, but VS ended rather neatly and more tournament arc isn't really going to do much.
>>2330537
I'm one of those crazy people who thinks that VS s2 won't have anything to do with tournaments.
>>2329051
>Really? You don't think that StrikerS hasn't diminished the franchise, which gets worse with more series that get added on top of it?
Yes actuallysince StrikerS is my personal favorite. Especially since StrikerS had some pretty hype moments which I can't said for Vivid beside the Einhart vs Sieglinde.
ViVidPARTY is happening. Seems like there is quite a lot of fans coming. The goods are selling well. Apparently, they set up a fucking ring on the stage.
Hope there will be some news announced at the end of the event.
>>2330828
It's probably going to be Vivid S2 or VS s2 if they've got ring set up.
Anything get announced?
Pretty sure no announcements were made. If I understood right they're putting movie 1st and 2nd back in some theaters before Reflection comes out, or something along those lines.
Why do people say that Nanoha/Fate was planned from the beginning? I watched the first/second seasons and it feels like they were originally planning to go with a Ferret end only to change their minds for the later seasons after the massive positive response to Fate/Nanoha.
>>2331189
Because NanoFate shippers say lots of stupid things.
>>2331189
Yuuno was the mascot character of the first series, Fate was the cool yet troubled rival with whom the protagonist fell in love at first sight. In the pilot Fate's role was taken by Chrono instead, which made it even more obvious.
Also for Japan they had the OPs and EDs that are sung by Fate to Nanoha and Nanoha to Fate.
>>2331189
Not sure why you think that. Did you forget how season 1 ended? It wasn't Yuuno Nanoha had that scene with, it was Fate.
>>2330664
That is a bridge crossed when it happens but since Vivid is basically one large tournament arc and VS immediately used it a more of a backdrop. You can bet that if Vivid is extended in any manner (a second season, a sequel, etc.) it will likely use a tournament arc as part of the setup.
Honestly, I would rather that they drop it. I feel that Vivid doesn't do anything that is beyond the standard, hell EVEN dragon ball at least changed the format to the standard tournament arc.
>>2331189
I think it is pretty clear that nothing from this franchise was planned from the beginning, that being said, considering how important magical girl tropes and otaku pandering were and the place nanofate's relationship had in the earlier seasons, I think it is safe to say that making the girls gay was a core idea of the project.
>>2331262
Yes but tournament arcs are not really as important or prevalent as the memes say. Both series used them as an excuse to introduce new characters and then dropped those plotlines halfway through. The main issue with vivid is its lack of drama, something strike tried to fix, had vivid found something interesting to do with those characters it wouldn't be an issue.
If anything the overuse of mock battles and the fact that we never get to see the full tournaments are more annoying than the tournament arc itself.
>>2331467
Cute!
Thanks.
>>2331467
This is bad for my heart
>>2331307
I am not really saying that. I am saying that the whole thing has been rote from the moment Vivid attempted it. And it's only gotten worse when the contemporary (namely the dragon ball franchise) start redefining what that means.
It was never good enough as a backdrop since, at the end of the day there is nothing that make Vivid stand out with a such a rote element for the plot and using said element in ways that have been done hundred times before is other productions.
The "overuse of mock battles" simply delay the inevitable, which never really helps the fact that it does nothing new with what Vivid presents.
The whole thing is a wash, and Nanoha would be better served attempting something else than "Yet another tournament arc"
>Einhart-san is
>cheating on me!
>I didn't know you guys were dating... Better not say that in this situation...
>But, doesn't she think that being alone with me like this also counts as cheating?
>Right...
>>2332449
>To her, I'm no potential partner

>Yes
>>2332453
>Am I not good enough?
>>2332454
She actually isn't.
>>2332454
>As if
>It's about time we go home!
>It's not like I want to trouble her
>For now, I just want to stay beside her like this
>>2332464
This makes me feel so bad for both Vivio and Miura.
>>2332491
They're both pretty pathetic.
>>2332491
If Vivio wasn't such a cuck she would have taken her woman back like her mama raised her to do.
>>2332540
Vivio's mamas never had to deal with someone stealing their gf, not sure if they could give their daughter good advice in how to deal with thief managers.
>>2332573
Vivio's mamas had to grew up with Hayate constantly molesting both of them. They clearly know how to remain loyal.
>>2332614
>They clearly know how to remain loyal.
That's not Vivio's problem though.
They should be teaching that to Haru-san.
>>2332640
Maybe they teach her too much.
>>2332573
>thief managers
Heh nice seeing that "meme" stick. (Sorry Yumina.)
>>2331199
>>2331204
There was that scene in the ship where they both get embarrassed after he reveals his true form. And the scene after where he gets jealous that she's talking to Chrono. But I think the biggest evidence is that Amy ships them together. So, they just added those scenes so the audience can watch him lose? It seems hard to believe.
>>2331307
>magical girl tropes and otaku pandering
Was otaku pandering even the same in 2004? Neither CGDCT or the idol craze had started, meaning the purityfag culture wasn't in full swing. Popular magical girl series like Sailor Moon or CCS had lesbians, but they were never the main characters.
When I am in a happy and optimistic mood, I want to think that the awkward distance between Vivio and Einhart in Vivid Strike was cunningly planted there as a foreshadowing of some crisis or conflict that will be the fuel for a dramatic Vivid sequel.
Usually though, it's sad.
>>2332674
It was pandering to a different crowd. Adult magical girl shows and badass lesbians doing badass things were trendy at the time.
>>2332674
>they both get embarrassed after he reveals his true form
That's probably just because Nanoha bathed with him and stuff. I'd say these things were so minor, overall, that they don't really matter. And look how Yuuno says "return to that girl" at that one point.
>>2332674
That's sounds more like cherrypicking and jumping to conclusions without anywhere near enough evidence, stuff like >>2332698 can easily be explained in a coherent way.
>It seems hard to believe.
Why? You already know the outcome, but if you insist in taking S1 on a vacuum it's either that the first season was meant to be taken in some level as the beginning of the journey between Nanoha and her (former) rival and love interest, OR that it was more important than NanoFate to assume that other characters may had had romantic feelings for either of the two and they "lost", as you theorize.
>>2332674
>Was otaku pandering even the same in 2004? Neither CGDCT or the idol craze had started, meaning the purityfag culture wasn't in full swing. Popular magical girl series like Sailor Moon or CCS had lesbians, but they were never the main characters.
Now you will say it was just a coincidence that KnM, Mai-Hime and Nanoha released exactly the same season.
>>2332708
>implying he knows that KnM, Mai-Hime and Nanoha released exactly the same season.
>>2332712
Did they? Amazing.
>>2332708That was a coincidence.
>>2332689
>>2332680
It's not since Vivid Strike. They started acting distant towards each other ever since spaceChina arc. You hardly, if not never ever, get to see them training alone together anymore.
The awkward distance between them is quite funny, though. Based on the way Vivio talks about Einhart and vise versa to other people, it's clear that they both still very much care and do understand the other yet when put next to each other, they can't hold a proper conversation.
>>2332736
I know (I'm probably one of the biggest Vividfags around here).
But the important difference is that it in Vivid, we don't see why would that be, whereas in Vivid Strike, it is after a timeskip. It is pretty much unexplained in both cases, but in Vivid, you have seen everything up to that point so you don't get as funyn thoughts from it as in Vivid Strike, where this thing screams "something must have happened in the meantime".
This difference also kinda makes you downplay the "divorce" in Vivid and take it more seriously in Vivid Strike.
When is Vivio going to get back her Sankt Kaiser core?
>>2332751
Yumina gets introduced as Einhart first friend and as a girl with godly fingers.
It was bound to happen.
>>2330709
>>2332807
These girls need some meat on their bones and better glue on their wigs
>>2332751
Well, from what I've seen on twitter, many of the Japanese thinks that VS Vivio-Einhart's relationship is like that of ex-lovers who live in the same area with Yumina as Einhart's new girlfriend.
Another theory is that while Vivio was saving her first for Einhart, the later has 'accidentally' lost her to thief manager and now, their relationship is strained.
>>2332954
I'm glad that more people are aware of this
I wonder if the staff realized that it raises that type of situation
Is it the first time that a relationship of ex-girlfriends is portrayed in this way?
>>2332807
I've always wondered if the devices have a safeguard mechanism built into them in the event of their master getting disarmed. Would they just revert into standby form, or something more sinister.
Also looks like Bardiche got a slight upgrade with that hook, in fact he doesn't even resemble a bardiche anymore.

>>2334347
As ugly as their face and hair is in that pic I am more bother with Nanoha's clothes. Why is she dressed like a granny?
Do I need to have read the Vivid manga to watch Vivid strike?
>>2334762
Kinda, do it anyway since it's short.
Fuuka looks good in a uniform.
>>2334962
Who doesn't? See: everyone in StrikerS, but especially Fate.
>>2334762
You don't need to read everything since it's just a fight tournament shit, there is no plot and nothing relevant ever happens
>>2332807
Alisa and Suzuka relevant?
>>2334762
You should read it but you can't read it.
>>2334992
After StrikerS, No.
Once Nanoha is well away from earth, that is were their relevance as characters end. Alisa and Suzuka are almost completely defined by their relationship with Nanoha. They have some back story which mostly confirms the one thing we know about Nanoha, how she makes friends (she slapped the bully out of Alisa, whom was picking on Suzuka at the time). However, outside of that and the mess that was A's (and their involvement into that mess), Alisa and Suzuka as as much side characters as the rest of the cast.
They are honestly more interesting as characters in Triangle Heart 3: Sweet Songs Forever than they are to the Lyrical Nanoha franchise.
