Title: So I finally started watching Nanoha
Post by: Matsuri on April 20, 2010, 07:22:30 PM
For the record I just started watching Nanoha today, because you all talk about it so much.

Let's see how it fares against Cardcaptor Sakura, my favorite anime of all time. :3

D: You're JUST NOW watching it? I figured someone who liked CCS as much as you did would have already seen it. I think I like it better than CCS, personally.

I've had it on my hard drive for ages, but I never got around to it, so. :ohdear:

Sakura is adorable. Nanoha is badass. (Though to be honest, I prefer Sailor Moon over either one.)

I've had it on my hard drive for ages

Including A's, I hope.

Friendly warning: The "Sakura" in Ruro's nick came from CCS.

Fake Edit: Oh, well, never mind then.

Actually, it comes from Sakura Taisen. Steampunk mecha alternative history* with sword-carrying girls, aw yeah. :derp:

*If demons vs psychic female warriors as motorcycle cavalry at the Battle of Gettysburg counts as history.

No, but I can get it, no problem. I'm liking what I see so far. :3

The entire Nanoha franchise climaxes at A's Episode 9, so yes, get it. One of the most fucking awesome moments in recent anime memory.
Title: Re: So I finally started watching Nanoha
Post by: Alfred F. Jones on April 20, 2010, 07:50:26 PM
Also. A's has Signum and Hayate.

And Nanoha too I guess, but Signum and Hayate :* :* :*

If I can get my work out of the way tonight, I'll likely finish it.

Man I used to be HARDCORE into Pangya.  Stop reminding me of deriving (and then programming in Haskell) elaborate vector equations just to get a cute little girl to hit a golf ball into a hole.  I even taught myself Maple just to analyze all of my shot data.

I think I have about ~3k game hours in my various accounts.

I'm at Nanoha episode 9. Convince me to watch that over Gokusen.
Title: Re: So I finally started watching Nanoha

If you need convincing, you're not doing it right.

I stand by the statement in my previous post.
Title: Re: So I finally started watching Nanoha
Post by: Matsuri on April 20, 2010, 08:15:35 PM
I've been burnt out on anime for a long time now. We're talking months here. If Nanoha can pull me out of that, I'll love it.
Title: Re: So I finally started watching Nanoha
Post by: Kilgamayan on April 20, 2010, 08:20:20 PM
Let's try this.

In terms of awesome, Nanoha A's 9 = Shuffle! 19-21 times thirty.
Title: Re: So I finally started watching Nanoha
Post by: Matsuri on April 20, 2010, 08:30:17 PM
Haven't seen Shuffle!. Can you put it in units of Eureka Seven/Evangelion/Gurren Lagann? :P
Title: Re: So I finally started watching Nanoha
Post by: Kilgamayan on April 20, 2010, 08:34:39 PM
No, I can only put it in terms of good shows. Sorry.

I couldn't tell. :V

Kilga: I will ignore the entire comment about Eureka Seven not being a good show.

Nanoha A's episode 9 is seriously like the best episode in anything ever and if you think it isn't you need to see if you're watching Nanoha, not Nanoha A's or if you're watching StrikerS (rofl)

And yeah I need to play more Pangya it's fun but HoN and other stuff take up all my time anyways.
Title: Re: So I finally started watching Nanoha
Post by: Kilgamayan on April 20, 2010, 10:12:59 PM
Benny: I would hope you do, considering I put "lol i trol u" in the subject field and I implied that Shuffle! was a good show.

The real reason I can't use any of those shows as a comparison is because I haven't seen any of them.
Title: Re: So I finally started watching Nanoha
Post by: Matsuri on April 20, 2010, 10:38:26 PM
Then you should watch them, just as I'm watching Nanoha. :V

Eureka Seven is just <3333333333333333333333333333333333
Title: Re: So I finally started watching Nanoha
Post by: Kilgamayan on April 20, 2010, 10:55:28 PM
From what I have heard of them, plot-wise, genre-wise, they don't particularly appeal to me.

I've also been told - by a very reliable source - that I would not like Eureka Seven in particular.
Title: Re: So I finally started watching Nanoha
Post by: Matsuri on April 20, 2010, 10:58:25 PM
/me shrugs

I loved it. It's the sweetest love story with giant sky-surfing robots I've ever seen. :ohdear:
Title: Re: So I finally started watching Nanoha
Post by: Alfred F. Jones on April 20, 2010, 11:16:10 PM
I saw one episode of Eureka Seven and I didn't like it very much.

I was also fifteen years old at the time. I should give it another try.
Title: Re: So I finally started watching Nanoha
Post by: Matsuri on April 20, 2010, 11:26:04 PM
I thought the same thing when I saw an episode a few years ago. I decided to give it another chance last year and I adored it. Once I got to episode 3 I was pretty much sold.

Post by: Rin Kagamine on April 21, 2010, 01:10:32 AM
I was seriously unimpressed by Nanoha.  I found it boring and was unenthused by how much the show pandered.

But I love how it makes people argue, it's so much more entertaining than the show was :V

The best anime ever, without any doubt, is Heartcatch Pretty Cure. Not only is the plot amazing, it delivers important themes about society and has a lot of symbols about religion. Pisses me off that people don't understand how beautiful this anime is and I just want to punch them in the face.

I've had it on my hard drive for ages, but I never got around to it, so. :ohdear:

Same here. I downloaded both Nanoha and Nanoha A's ages ago. I've currently got all the episodes burned off onto a DVD which is probably in a box somewhere now. As for Nanoha StrikerS it's still on my hard drive. But like the other hundred or so anime series I've downloaded over the years I've never gotten around to watching it yet.

I really do need to get back into watching anime one of these days. :ohdear:

Remember how fuckawesome Gurren Lagann Ep11 was?

Like that, except you're also deeply horrified at the same time.

Wait, Episode 11? O_o

I might be misremembering. The one where Simon proved that he was not Shinji Ikari. My favorite moment in the whole series; substitute your own favorite high point if you disagree.

Overall, though, I still prefer StrikerS to A's.
