Wish-list for new Nanoha project
It's a dream come true.... A big thank you to pkjd for breaking the most uplifting anime news of the week. Ah Fate chan, Hayate chan how I missed thee! Anyhow to celebrate this joyeous revelation, here's my very personal wishlist for the upcoming Nanoha project.
1) A full 13 ep season
I'm not greedy for a 26 parter since Nanoha has worked well with 2 seasons of 13s so far. But please please let it be more than OVAs or worse... movie. (Although one can be sure of the highest production values for the latter.)
2) Lolis are nice but bishoujos are better
Well, the series could pick up from the destruction of the Book of Darkness and proceed with a 10 yr old cast but..... I WANT MY 15 YR OLD FATE/HAYATE CHAN!! Plus, it'll be easier to pimp a series powered by teenaged seifuku bishoujos to non anime-watching peers since enjo kosai enjoys wider acceptance compared to pedo-fare my honorable intentions would be better received with 15 yr olds as opposed to 9+ yr olds.
3) Upgraded costumes
Nanoha and Hayate needs something that's more flattering to nubile 15 yr old physiques to shed restrictive gear that hinders battle response. But Fate can keep her scant light armour to maximise close combat capabilities.

4) Expanded romantic component
To be frank, the love love aspect was never part of Nanoha's strength and its inclusion may prove to be distracting or bring deadweight to the plot. But I CANNOT imagine seeing hormonally-charged 15 yr olds prance onscreen without the intrigue of love. It's... it's just not healthy. Well, if I'm going to be denied romantic aspirations, at least allow for a bashful "Nii-san" from Fate (to Chronos) or that hint of shoujo-ai between Hayate and Reinforce.



5) More of all that was good in Season 2
Engaging music, frantic action, cool battle stances, high production values, coherent plot nekkid henshin sequence are some of the outstanding aspects of Nanoha 2 which I hope the new work will inherit.

Well, there are other smaller desires like seeing Hayate in a hadaka apron or Fate in a meido uniform but let's not sweat the details.
Having expressed high hopes, I feel the need to voice my only concern for the project. Nanoha's cast has grown to become unwieldy with season 2 and it's certainly going to be a challenge to forge new stories and characters on top of the old. Of course, they could just focus on the 3 protagonists but the sizable Vita and Signum fangroups are unlikely to take it lying down. Well, as long as they build a coherent tale and Fate/Hayate get good airtime, I'm a happy tanuki.
Looking forward to more Fate/Hayate loveliness.

Your futile attempts to try and plead ephebonphilia will avail you not. Two out of three in category four flies in the face of your declaration. We all know that in the Dignified City State of Singapore that you can manuever around the age of consent with a special marriage license.
Cheating already? For shame I guess Nauzron is going to have a coon-skin cap real soon…
Honorable intentions..LOL an honorable meido-loli-sis-con is like dry water or wooden iron.

First-time visitor, followed the trackback link from Moetron. This announcement has made my day. While I’ve got my hopes up for a series chronicling the adventures of Nanoha, Fate-chan~, and Hayate in junior high/high school, I won’t be too picky. I’m sure that whatever the Nanoha production team decides to give us, it’ll match up to the standard set by the first two series.

After thinking about it for a little bit, here is what i want:
Nanoha Hentai
But since that is going to be possible, here is what i will settle for:
Hot Spring with the grown up ver of the girls.
More Yuri
nanoha using her families sword technique.
Figure out a qay to bring back Alicia so we can have yuri twincest

Here’s what I’m thinking:
Gosh, not another one!
But all things aside, I thought someone mentioned that the announcement was a prank? Was I daydreaming when I read that? Don’t remember where the source is, though…

Vita! Vita! VITA!
Oh, and more adrenaline-pumping action scenes.
To paraphrase a person,
“If you won’t listen to what I have to say, then I’ll beat it into you until you do!”

OMFG A NANOHA WISHLIST? AND YOU MANAGED TO KEEP IT UNDER 5? YOU’RE AMAZING!

Wot? You nuts or what?
Everyone knows Fate is RAGING LESBIAN for Nanoha.

kacpy: Woot to Hayate boo to OVA!
Thanks for the heads-up nevertheless.
Crusader: LOL! Dry water is called ice.
Like Stripey adores the meido uniform but don’t have a meido fetish…. a subtle but important difference…
Well I would plead guilty to ephebophilia over pedophelia any day.
Dark Morford: Thanks for dropping by!
It is as you say indeed! As long as it’s Fate/Hayate in the full glory of their youth, I’m a happy camper.
XelloS^_-: Dark side, that’s the Dark side…. must. resist. Ah I see you watched Triangle Hearts?
Asuka: Noooo! I hope not.
Will need to get my paws on an Sep issue of MEGAMI to see with my own eyes. I wonder how many heads will roll if it’s really a prank.
Skane: I soo going to use that on my bosses now.
Tsubaki: LOL! I cut the rest of the 95 wishes because it bordered on Nanoha hentai.
DrmChsr0: Now I know why Nanoha kisses RAGING HEART before her nekkid henshin sequence… and I’m not going to thank you for ruining my innocence. LOL!

As long as they don’t call it “Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A’s Joshikosei” or something equally long, I’m all for the new season

how about Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A1
Go great with steaks
July 31st, 2006 - 21:22
Heh, actually I’m with the camp that supports dropping the ”Mahou Shoujo” tag from the title. While we are at that, might as well take out Nanoha since she’s the least hot among the bishoujos in there. I’m not sure what we’re left with though.
