because that

Because A's one of the best Animu's ever made.

Nana Mizuki is a singing Jesus, that's why.

>>41839484
I forgot how awesome it is. Going to have to rewatch it now.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIH1aup-GiE

Why not?

Nanoha A marathon.... tonite?

>>41839689
Someone likes Signum.

>>41839689

who needs skill and tactic if you can just blast the opposition with the equivalent of a low orbit ion cannon like hayate does?

It was awesome, but after the shit it turned into lately, I sure as hell won't rewatch it.
Ever.

>>41839790
Nanoha vs Hayate

Nanoha's not as powerful as Hayate, but more then makes up for it in speed, positioning, and single point firepower.

Nuking a city isn't quite the same as taking out small mobile weapons platform.

>>41839484
at first I was lik- DIVINE BUSTAAA
and then I was like- STARLIGHT BREEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>41839689
Why is Hayate's Tactics stat so low? Doesn't she have a commander-like role?

>>41839867
Does Hayate have Reinforce?

isn't hayate a disabled girl?

>>41839893
Confusing Tactics with Strategy - Hayate is more of a big thinker, setting the goals, rather then achieving them.

Also, she's a control freak, and she has a personal army as a body guard, I don't think anyone ever tried to say no to her.

>>41839943
Yes, wheelchair bound, terrible history, gao.

>>41839867
>Nanoha's not as powerful as Hayate, but more then makes up for it in speed, positioning, and single point firepower.
But that chart implies that everyone except Fate are equal in Strength. Maybe it should be redone.

>>41839878
Nanoha is such a sadist, first the exhausted feito with divine buster, then she used bind on her, a shoot STARAIGHTUUU BREAIKAAAAAAAAR into her face almost point blank straight into the ocean.

SHIKAKA

>>41839976
>Maybe it should be redone

Ok, if you help agree on new numbers I'll redraw the chart:

Nanoha
STR: 10
DEF: 7
END: 8
MAN: 7
SKL: 10
AGL: 6

Fate
STR: 8
DEF: 3
END: 6
MAN: 7
SKL: 9
AGL: 10

Signum:
STR: 10
DEF: 9
END: 8
MAN: 7
SKL: 10
AGL: 9

Vita:
STR: 10
DEF: 7
END: 10
MAN: 6
SKL: 5
AGL: 8

Hayate:
STR: 10
DEF: 5
END: 5
MAN: 10
SKL: 1
AGL: 2

I think Strength should be relabled ATTACK or ATTACK STRENGTH.
Considering Hayate's Strength and Mana are off the scale, I think everyone else should have a maximum of 7 or 8 as starting point...

Fate-chan.

Why were you late to dinner last night?

WHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY?

>>41839808
Just do what I do: consider the end of A's to be the end of the series and block out the existence of StrikerS.

>>41840068
wut, StrikerS was fucking awesome.

>>41840045
Nanoha~! You know its bowling night on a Thursday!

>>41840068
Excuse me.

But StrikerS had a few decent episodes, all at the end though.

At least watch those.

>>41840099
Those episodes weren't worth the training episodes and shitty support characters that were given boring backstory but only appeared only a couple times for a few minutes in the whole series.

>>41840086
>>41840099
At least StrikerS didn't have lolis, so it rocked, right?
Inb4 Vita and Caro legit characters.

>>41840132
Not to mention shitty villains with little to no goals or aims.

>>41843648
less complaining, more awesome

>>41843879
Very well.

>>41843879

Ok.

>>41840041
I think I see a person that hates Fate!
It looks rather strange that everyone aside from Fate has 10 points in two of their stats, while Fate is the only with 10 points only once.

>my face when there's a second Nanoha thread going on

Also, I did a rewatch marathon of A's a while ago. Was awesome indeed.

>>41844086
Maybe there should be an extra field for "Kindness" for the reformed Fate.

I'm still looking at revising the numbers.
I've set about on some crazy programming task making a dynamic graph generator.

Also the chart was made by me and it's an old version.

This is the updated one.

>>41844159
I think you really should rethink your stats, I mean Erio already having the same agillity as Fate?
Seriously!

>>41844159
I wouldn't put Reinforce as perfect in all areas. She's more of a "Off the scale Hayate" for strength and mana, with improved Defense, Agility and Endurance.

>>41844218
Erio is highly speed focused as well. And Fate only really goes "I'm the female Flash" when she's in Sonic Form.

>>41844220
She did display superior abilities in pretty much all categories. The only arguable fields are skill and agility, but she didn't show a weakness there either.

>>41844144

>Vita
>Higher strength than Nanoha or Signum

>>41844159
>>41844144
Cool, thanks for reposting, I didn't have the second half.

See my comments above about further revision / improvement :] --- also, its probably worth noting canon rankings, and any supporting info (featured fights?)

>>41844386

>>41844331
>Vita
>destroyed a core that was specifically designed to be indestructible
>"There is nothing in this world we can't destroy."

>>41844450

>Nanoha

>Entire Ship has extremely powerful anti-magic field
>Does this while holding off Saint Kaiser
>Still has enough energy do fire off seven shot Starlight Breaker

Fuck the haters, StrikerS wasn't as good as A's, but it's still better than the first season.

>>41844595
>implying Vita wasn't suffering from the same AMF

>implying beams don't pierce through whatever place they're being shot in all the time

>>41844617
Yeah.

But now Season 1 has got a movie revamp that is probably up there with A's in awesomeness.

>>41844617
That chart has errors. First half of S1 should all be within 40-60. 9 should be 80, and 11 should be past 100.

>>41844144
Eh I think the original is a better representation. The only thing that I would change from the original is to move Nanoha's defense out to match Signum's and knock Signum's mana down about two notches.

>>41844450

>"There is nothing in this world we can't destroy."

...and that's why Graf Eisen gets replaced with the War Hammer.

>>41839689
wasn't hayate the only SS-rank mage while the others were just S or S+?

>>41845051
Just in magic output, she doesn't have the speed , stamina nor battle experience than Fate/Nanoha have.

She's a nuke on a paper plane.

>>41844322
Even if Erio is speed focused, do you really think he beats out pros trained for years in terms of speed?
Speed focused does mean he is good at it and that it probably is his best attribute, but it doesn't mean that he is faster than maybe Signum.
Think about Caro and Erio where what C class or B class at an age where Nanoha and Fate were what AA or AAA class.
The overall difference between the traines and the supposed three that could take the same place in history as the three legendary generals shoud be much further.

>>41844436

GOD that must hurt ...poor Vita.

>>41845265
Well, they were only trainees in StrikerS.

Erio beat Fate in Vivid.

>>41844617
>StrikerS
>better than season 1

nope.avi

>>41845314
Yeah with limiters putting their level below that of the traines!

>>41845358
It's still a feat. A limiter can only do so much as decreasing your mana output.

>>41845358
There are no limiters in Vivid. With the possible exception of Nanoha.

>>41845314
>thinking the fight wasn't rigged in favor of the trainees
ahahahahaa...

Posting JAM Project in a Nanoha thread

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNyZxNJszYk

Can we just all agree that magic levels and who beats who is just a bunch of inconsistent nonsense?

>>41845265
>>41845358

Still the guy can take on Fate's sonic form without any upgrades(making him probably the new fastest mage of the series). I'm laffing my ass off in FORCE because they give him a Strike Cannon wich is horribly inadequate to his fighting style, c'mon the guy is the new flash, give him something usefull.

>>41845471
It is truly sad isn't it!

>>41844144
I would rate Panzer Hidernis higher in terms of defense, personally. But those seem alright I guess.

>>41845523
>Doesn''t realise that Erio has always sonic forrm on or rather that his stupid spear is what makes him fast since it has rocket engines!

>>41845523
Well, the strike cannon does have an assault lance mode.

>>41845464
nanoha/fate are always under limiters knocking them down by several ranks unless they get authorization to release them.

Nanoha is S+ rank, Teana is AA ranked, there's no way their starlight breakers would be of equal strength.

Caro is only A+, even after strikers.

This just wouldn't be a fair fight without limiters.

>>41845473
Fucking awesome.

>>41845601
The only reason that limiters were present in Strikers was because of there being so many strong mages in one unit. There has been no mention of them in Vivid. Also, Lutecia is supposed to have a limiter placed on her that put her at rank D and that's obviously not the case anymore.

>>41845601

Starlight Breaker is a very situational spell, Nanoha ackowledges that Teana have a mana chargin time faster than her. So Nanoha's solution is to add more dakka to her SLB because the spell feeds on surroinding mana. So if Teana is faster she can absorb more mana than Nanoha and fire first in order to weaken Nanoha's own SLB. Good thinking by part of Teana.

>>41845584

Still too big and also seems to not have Strada's thrusters wich allow Erio to do things more swiftly(i guess), also that weaknens the sense of identity of the characters(i foreshadow everyone with Strike Cannons in every colours and flavours).

>>41845666

Agreed, it would be unveliebably awesome to see a Nanoha OP singed by these people.

>>41845707
granted, SLB feeds of mana saturating the area. But she was still going easy on them. No Blaster System, no spending an entire magazine of cartridges...

>>41845764
no. vita gets her warhammer. nanoha gets the fortress in addition to the strike cannon. subaru gets sword breaker. fate's bardiche seems to be somewhat immune to the zero effect, so she can continue using it (with upgrades).

But yes, strike cannons were initially meant to be mass-produced, but most mages aren't able to handle them, that's why nanoha was doing the testing and tuning personally.

Hayate's device also seems to be unaffected by the zero effect, so we probably won't see any big upgrades for her. Although she could probably use some mana-to-mass conversion device. "Commence Orbital Saturation Bombardment"

>>41846013
The thought of Hayate firing giant icecubes; i.e. magical balls of freezing cold vacuum at her targets sends shivers down my spine. Exactly -where- does the heat of a raging inferno go when hit by one of those things.

>>41846013
>strike cannons were initially meant to be mass-produced

All of the new stuff is supposed to be mass-produced. The protagonists are practically holding the prototypes. (And they're visibly imperfect still).

>fate's bardiche seems to be somewhat immune to the zero effect, so she can continue using it (with upgrades).

Yup, see descriptions in pic.

>>41846150
it gets converted to ambient magic? which can be used by SLB

you now realize that there is no one RUNNING in the OP
curious.

>>41846198
Is there some sort of collection of all those pictures translated?

A's > original >>>> strikers.

>>41846343
No. Considering their huge size, it'd be kinda hard to do.

I don't even have all of them translated, unfortunately.

>>41846483
I wish I could help, but I only have the translated versions of Nanoha's and Fate's.

well, for completeness sake, the fortress

Nanoha has the best and most interesting magic system as well as the most plausible magical universe of any anime. /tg/ agreed, don't bother them about it.

Ok, distilled my flash template / program down to:

>var SKILL_AREAS:Array = ["Atk", "Def", "End", "Man", "Skl", "Agl", "Kin"];

>Display("Nanoha", "images/nanoha.jpg", SKILL_AREAS, [10, 7, 8, 7, 10, 6, 8], "Nanoha is ranked as an S+ class mage");

Kin is a stupid extra property for testing, (Kindness), the graph should be able to support any number of properties >= 3.

>>41846013

Hayate is only able to cast that net in Ch. 10 bacause Luccino confirms that anti-magic isn't working(because the entire Huckebein are still disabled after being Zero'd by Tohma) and that is safe to cast that spell, that lampshade that even Hayate will have dificulties with her magic when these guys activate their anti-magic hax.

>>41846198
>that Zamber pose
>All I an think about is the reverse angle with her ass taking up 90% of the screen

>>41846942

>>41848812

>>41848853
mages can wield multiple devices.

hayate:
-schwertkreuz
-reinforce zwei
-tome of the night sky

subaru:
mach caliber
revolver knuckle
sword breaker

nanoha:
raising heart
strike cannon
fortress

In the nanoha-verse there also are different classes of devices. storage devices, boost devices, armed devices, intelligent devices, unison devices

>>41849062
No one cares about Triangle Heart.

>>41849114
yes, but if you make a pic showing the progression of things it provides an even better starting point, with the hearty-stick and all.

>>41849062
Schwertkreuz = Armed Device (the one you mean)
Rein = Unison Device
Tome of the Night Sky = Storage Device

Mach Caliber = Armed Device
Revolver Knuckle = Storage Device
Sword Breaker = AEC Armament


Raising Heart = Armed Device
Strike Cannon = AEC Armament
Fortress = AEC Armament (Probably)

They're all different things. There's never been a point where a mage has used two different Armed Devices.

Storage Devices are a bit different, it's been shown that you can carry multiple (like Subaru using two Revolver Knuckles).

It's doubtful that you can use two Armed Devices because every Armed Device seems to have a specific owner.

AEC Equip aren't devices at all, they're just weapons.

>>41849229

Actually, Raising heart is an Intelligent Device(even if is using the Belkan Catridge System), also Bardiche.

There's also the Boost Devices(the ones weared by Caro and Lutecia as a pair of gloves).

Anbd yeah, the AEC Equipenmt are just cold souless weapons.

>>41849382
Right.

And Revolver Knuckle is an Armed Device, not a Storage Device

I wonder if the same principle applies to both devices though.

Either way, it definitely seems to apply for Intelligent Devices.

>>41849229
you got a few things wrong i think:
http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Device#Classification

raising heart is an intelligent device. it only received armed device-like upgrades (cartridge system) later on.

both recover knuckles are armed devices too, apparently they're not bound to the owner (or at least subaru and ginga are compatible owners). intelligent devices on the other hand must accept a master from what i understand.

oh, and mach caliber is an intelligent device too.

generally:
-if it doesn't speak: storage device
-if it doesn't speak and is weaponized: armed device
-if it speaks in simple phrases: intelligent device
-if it speaks like a human and (mostly) looks like a human: unision device

>>41849500
goddamn, i was about to ask if there was a wiki.

>>41849151
But 99.32153% of the current fanbase doesn't know it exists, it's like comparing Heroes of Might and Magic 5 to King's Bounty.

>>41849500
>apparently they're not bound to the owner (or at least subaru and ginga are compatible owners)

I think it's more that the gloves are essentially one device and they just split the gloves up.

It might be that their mother used both at the same time and that that is the way it's supposed to be. This is just a theory though, I haven't checked it.

>-if it doesn't speak and is weaponized: armed device

Armed Devices include Laevantein, Graf Eisen and such things though, and they speak. Though they don't seem to be as intelligent as Raising Heart and Bardiche, which can hold up conversations.

>>41849620
We do know that Quint used both of them at once, though.

>>41849620

It's revealed that Subaru and Ginga don't use the two revolver Knuckles because it puts great strain on their bodies(that's one of the reasons of why subaru don't keep using both after StrikerS) and Quint Nakajima is the only person knowed to be able to wield bot gauntlets efficiently.

Seriously, their mom surely was a real Badass.

>>41849620
>Armed Devices include Laevantein, Graf Eisen and such things though, and they speak.

true, things also get more complicated by the fact that there's a difference between ancient belkan and modern belkan devices.

It's also possible that if someone uses multiple devices that the most intelligent one takes care of the communication with the mage.

There must be some magic device communication protocol standardization group. After all we have different weapon manufacturers too.

>>41849890
>because it puts great strain on their bodies
>my face when they're fucking cyborgs and can able to endure a lot more stress than humans

Anyway, that just confirmed my theory.

>>41849966
> It's also possible that if someone uses multiple devices that the most intelligent one takes care of the communication with the mage.
Now I'm imagining someone wielding multiple intelligent devices, and all the devices are arguing with each other and trying to talk at the same time.

>>41849890
This their mom was super strong. Thats why Scaleti used her for the basis of his army of clones. And why said Clones are Badasses too.

Either way, someone has never used two intelligent devices at the same time.

I suppose it's better that way, too.

They can wear all the weapons they want, but having two intelligent weapons at the same time seems gay.

so, season 1.


feito barely manages to block a weaker blast from nanoha, burning some of her clothes / hand in the process.

i then see her BINDED meaning UNABLE TO BLOCK ANYTHING and nanoha STAAAAAAARRRRRRLIGHTUUUUUUU BURRRRRREEEEEEEEAAAKKKKKKUUUUUUUUU
