Hayate's "device" is, nonsensically (using the previous seasons to define what makes sense), a chibi girl, Reinforce Zwei, who's treated as fully a person to the point of holding a TSAB rank. Erio's weapon is hysterical you have to see it to believe it (though I suppose it's not that different from Vita's). As mages, they fit in better with the earlier generation. What use is a sharpshooter in a world dominated by magic, where magical weapons can shoot around corners? More proof that the writers are making it up as they go along.The younger children in the cast, Erio/Elio and Caro/Kyaro (depending which sub you're watching) seem to be to one side of the main plot and character arcs of StrikerS. And speaking of lack of interesting worldbuilding, a supporting character is a sniper. Subaru is a magic-powered physical combatant, and even if Nanoha-verse magic wasn't so tech-based, that would make her merely a superhero.*Okay, "Wing Road" is a case where odd English makes a good move name.Incidentally, it appears that mages can make up their own names for powers.Tiana goes beyond the staff-as-gun idea into simply dual-wielding magic pistols. Of the four cadets, three don't do much if any spellcasting. She doesn't have a staff instead, she rides motor-roller-skates - including on the air* - and punches things with her magic gauntlet.
WATCH MAGICAL GIRL LYRICAL NANOHA STRICKERS S MOVIE
I'm reminded of a review of the Prince Caspian movie that noted how the title character wasn't allowed to settle his own fight.Subaru's also the barometer of how far this series has gone from its Sakura-imitation origins (and the Magical Girl genre as a whole). The first is the designated hero of the new series (judging by the title sequences) a plot cohesion problem is created when the final conflict more concerns, and is resolved more by, the older generation. However, said younger mages don't work so well for me.First, we get the teenagers, Subaru and Tiana.
There also seems to be a confusion between planets and entire universes.The cast has, as I knew and expected, Nanoha, Fate and Hayate training younger mages. Magic replaces science, but since they look and feel the same in the Nanoha-verse, that doesn't mean anything. At the end of As, Nanoha moved to Mid-Childa, and I suppose it was that that made me realize the next season would be less interesting.Mid-Childa is basically an uninteresting alternate Earth. That is, part of the formula (as far as I know - and like) is that they operate in our world. Most Magical Girl shows are the overlap of fairy tales and Silver Agey superheroes. The series has abandoned its pretense of being a Magical Girl show, and that's where my problems with it start. First, I have to say that this series doesn't deliver the premise I mentioned in my review of the original.
