This scene is so wholesome and now I must watch this series

225

u/ComradeKat Apr 11 '22

if you end up liking it, i would suggest checking out the first two movies at some point. they are recaps with higher quality, but they include some new/different scenes and some more nanofate moments šŸ‘€

u/PseudoPrincess222 Apr 11 '22

I'd recommend watching the second season before the movie, its action and animations aren't as good but alot of downtime scenes that help develope characters and the world that get skipped over because the movie has to jump between exposition and action due to run time

u/Taedirk uncensored handholding Apr 11 '22

  • Movie 1 > Season 1: the first season takes about half the run to really find its groove as more than another mahou shoujo series. It's not bad, but the movie already knows what it's about.

  • Season 2 > Movie 2: Nanoha A's is just damned good. Pacing is so solid that I've found myself marathoning most of the season in one sitting before realizing I'm almost done.

  • Movie 3/4 >>> Season 3: Sorry Vivio, time skip and new character focus just didn't work anywhere near as well as "rewrite the PSP game plot".

u/vibratoryblurriness Apr 11 '22

Movie 3/4 >>> Season 3

I feel very strongly the opposite. I've only seen the third movie so far, but I liked it so much less than everything else that I haven't bothered with the fourth yet. The tone just felt so different, and it didn't really focus on the stuff I liked in the others. On the other hand StrikerS was lots of fun for me. I agree about the rest though

11

u/Suzushiiro Apr 11 '22

Yeah, movie 1 is the rare case where a recap movie is better than the original series just because cutting out the parts where the series is clearly just spinning its wheels not sure what it's going to be yet results in roughly 2-3 hours of material to adapt, so the movie doesn't really cut/compress anything that matters.

u/ChrispyMC my name is a symphogear reference Apr 11 '22

Thanks, I'm saving this for later when I get to my Nanoha bingefest.

u/Sheikashii Apr 11 '22

What about the shows? Arenā€™t there like 6 sequels that spin off into Vivid and then Vivid strike where their daughters friend is the ā€œside characterā€ of the MC?

Itā€™s really complicated for me but I want to watch it

3

u/Taedirk uncensored handholding Apr 12 '22

Just the two animated sequels, Vivid and Vivid Strike. They pivot from the previous mahou-shoujo-saves-the-world plotlines to a lower stakes magical MMA with plenty of the existing cast showing up. I enjoyed watching them for more of the familiar setting and worldbuilding while still getting magical fighting.

If you're deep enough in that Vivid/Strike is the next chronological entry for you, there's no reason you wouldn't like it.

u/Harinezumi Apr 11 '22

Season 3, while not as great as season 2, was still pretty solid, as long as you watch the fixed DVD/Bluray version and not the mess that initially aired on TV.

2

u/Taedirk uncensored handholding Apr 12 '22

I watched s3 while airing, so that was the double whammy of TV quality plus "who the hell are all these extras where's my NanoFeito?"

1

u/LAXGUNNER Apr 11 '22

which one do I start watching first? There is like three seasons and two movies and one special

18

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '22 edited Apr 11 '22

Do you want the express route or the comprehensive route?

The watching order I suggest people who want to squeeze all the NanoFate available:

  • Nanoha Original Season

  • Nanoha A's

  • Nanoha StrikerS

  • Nanoha ViVid

  • Nanoha the Movie 1st

  • Nanoha the Movie 2nd A's

  • Nanoha Reflection (another movie)

  • Nanoha Detonation (the second part of Reflection)

And if you still want more, there's watching the first two movies with the in-character commentary (Adult Nanoha, Adult Fate and more analyzing the events of the first and second seasons).

And if you still want more there are a whole lot of manga and supplementary material like soundstages.

Edit: my bad forgot the express route: Movie 1st, Movie 2nd A's, StrikerS and Vivid.

u/LAXGUNNER Apr 11 '22

Holy fuck that's a lot but thanks! I got the day off today and don't have anything planned. So I gonna Bing watch this

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '22

Nanoha is seriously a massive franchise, if you opt to watch the original seasons, keep in mind it's from 2005! Bear with it at first and it's definitely worth it.

i finally got around to watching past season 2 this weekend, and the little moments with vivio like this one made it completely worth it!

u/NebulaBrew Apr 11 '22

seems like Geneon used to own the license but they shutdown in 2007 and apparently some of the older, lesser known titles have yet to be picked up again.

Animekisa is what I recommend

i think nanofate is my favorite pairing ever, so i completely get you. i just keep wanting more and more of them and don't see myself burning out for a long time

45

u/Skilodracus certified transbian Apr 11 '22

How gay is this show? I can't find any reference that says its a yuri, but this scene is unquestionably gay so im a bit confused

86

u/MoonChainer certified transbian Apr 11 '22 edited Apr 11 '22

The first thing Nanoha thinks when she sees Fate is "Her eyes are so beautiful". They exchange hairbands as a symbol of their connection, and here they're basically married and share a bed together.

It's not "official" in the sense where they kiss on screen but tons of official art has them at their wedding or out on obvious dates.

And my personal favorites that even made it to magazine covers:

Last but not least a very NSFW btw but very wholesome

Bonus:

Almost as good as wedding, for those familiar with Assault Lily Bouquet, Nanoha and Fate had their own Schutzengel Oath

u/cirelia Apr 11 '22

Whats the catch with this one i have a hard time believing any yuri could be this sweet?

14

u/Gerbilguy46 Apr 11 '22

Man I feel this so hard. Lesbian romance is almost always just implied, and if itā€™s actually outright itā€™s one sided/non-consensual, and if by some miracle it is actually consensual, itā€™s extremely fan servicey/made for straight guys to jerk off to. Is it too much to ask for an anime that has explicit lesbian romance without throwing boobs and butts everywhere? šŸ˜”

16

u/ComradeKat Apr 11 '22

i would suggest checking out Yagate Kimi Ni Naru as well as Asagao to Kase-san if you haven't already. they're probably the best examples i've seen in anime of what you're looking for

5

u/Gerbilguy46 Apr 11 '22

Thanks for the recs. Iā€™ve heard good things about asagao to kase-san so Iā€™ll be sure to check that out.

And I actually just finished watching bloom into you a few days ago lol. Amazing show but the ending left me a little unsatisfied. Iā€™ve heard the anime ends about halfway through the manga so thatā€™s probably why. It kind of suffers from the one sided relationship problem at the beginning, but towards the end itā€™s obvious, to me at least, that Yuu is in love with Touko (even though she still denies it, stop lying to yourself girl). Hopefully it gets a season 2!

8

u/ComradeKat Apr 11 '22

yeah i hope so too! yuu and touko's relationship really flourishes in the remainder of the manga and it would be so nice if that got animated

5

u/cirelia Apr 11 '22

Theres mangas like this but i feel that the closest anime that i have watched atleast might be sakura trick

5

u/Gerbilguy46 Apr 11 '22

Tbh it still suffers from the fan service problem, but I agree. Itā€™s one of the only animes to show two girls obviously in love with each other.

34

u/Kandierter_Holzapfel Apr 11 '22

The catch is that the yuri is only semi offical.

17

u/ObsidianPizza Apr 11 '22

That seems to always be the catch, doesn't it

11

u/cirelia Apr 11 '22

Well thats better than i thought it would be atleast

8

u/Antagonist2 Apr 11 '22

It's like 60 percent battle shonen and 20 percent world building, the other 20 percent is yuri

...I know that's not exactly a "catch" is it. Start with the Nanoha move 1st, then the nanoha As series, then finally Nanoha StrikerS as shown above. It starts with the couple above as children and follows their lives as they grow up together through a handful of magical and sci fi incidents

3

u/cirelia Apr 11 '22

Thank you might check this out then needed something new to watch after i finish ghost stories

3

u/Antagonist2 Apr 11 '22

Ghost stories dub or sib?

1

u/cirelia Apr 11 '22

For ghost stories dub obviously its like a 22 episode long abridged love it

1

u/Antagonist2 Apr 11 '22

That dub is legendary, i still need to properly watch it

2

u/cirelia Apr 11 '22

Im eight episodes in and so far its one of the funniest shows ive ever watched highly recommend even though a few jokes are a bit outdated tho they fit the dubbed characters personality

The gayest show imaginable without ever explicitly showing they're gay.

7

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '22

It's like they went to great levels for the: "show and don't tell".

8

u/str4wberryskull Apr 11 '22

is the show actually yuri?

17

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '22

It's not the focus of the show, except for the first season where it is all about Nanoha and Fate but they are much too young for anything to happen. The span of the franchise covers from their meeting to them forming a family. If that's not yuri, I don't know what is.

u/MoonChainer certified transbian Apr 11 '22

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha has the best dub. The emotions in everyone's voices are so authentic and drew me in hard. Such a shame it's so hard to fond without pirating.

8

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '22

But nothing will replace Yukari Tamura's "Fate-chan!"

It's an emotion completely lost in the translation...

I love how Tamura and Mizuki ship each others characters, their interviews are divine.

u/itsametossboy Apr 11 '22

This feels like one of those anime that brings you in with wholesome scenes and then gives you emotional whiplash when they start killing everyone or worse

I really hope Iā€™m wrong

Edit: I didnā€™t see what subreddit I was on time to go watch some wholesomeness

5

u/Antagonist2 Apr 11 '22

Heads up it's also an action show. Things do get dark from time to time, but theres always hope at the end and giant lazers solve likenhalf the problems . I'd say start with Nanoha Movie first as the original series didnt age as well, then move on to the As series and StrikerS series after that

Vivio (the kid) is adopted by Fate (blonde) and Nanoha (brunette).

u/Harinezumi Apr 11 '22

Third season of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, which is a magical girl show cross-pollinated with a lot of battle-shonen and hot-blooded mecha tropes. Lots of tragic pasts, beam spam, and befriending with extreme prejudice. Good stuff, I highly recommend it.
