Little late but hey, need to comment :p

Slow show, to slow for me. The reason I continued to watch it? Read about some yuri action which really happened.
Didn´t have much more to watch, so I continued to watch Nanoha Strikers, and seing Nanoha going berserk is always fun to watch.

3 eps to go I think now and finally its starting to be intresting, or rather it´s gone from nice pace to slow pace once again :( I want to see fighting, not talking.

the two earlier shows, well I watched the first ep of Nanoha A´s before Nanoha. Got to watch Nanoha and liked the animation and thus continued to watch the two series.
When a third series was introduced I was expecting the same stuff, nice animation, mind blowing spells and what did I get? A training session…

If I’m such a loser, why are you reading my blog? Aren’t you just fulfilling my loser ego more by commenting on here and giving me the satisfaction of knowing you’ve read it?

Then drop it already, duh. Nobody finishes every series he/she watches. It’s always funny to see blogs going out of their ways to explain the reasons behind dropping a series. They would write this post just to fulfill their egos. Kind like a guy sending a letter to his ex-girl detailing the causes of a breakup. Just lame, very lame.

“I knew I could live quite happily without any more Nanoha.” That line is just so loser-ish. In the history of mankind, that must has been uttered by losers at least a billion times.

Now, StrikersS is a huge disappointment up to date, so I actually share some of the same sentiments. Even many fanboys are giving negative reviews to the SS. To be honest, the only reason I continue to watch is for my unlimited love for Fate-chan (and the yet to be revealed Hayate henshin sequence).

All in all, I don’t have a problem with the criticism because SS deserves it. It’s just the way it’s delivered makes you sound like a lame loser (oops, did I just say that again?)

“acting like” is giving too much credit.

It’s perfectly reasonable for you to drop it if you didn’t like the first two seasons; what makes your effort more commendable is how you actually bothered to type all this out explaining why, and you’ve got my respect for that. To the die-hard fanboys and fans alike it’s a matter of being sorry than safe, as opposed to those who don’t have that much of an attachment and couldn’t care less, in this case, you.

Oh, and blogging is pretty much an exercise in ego stroking any way you look at it, mikemil828. The redundancy in that statement was quite amusing, not to mention ignorant.

Why do some commenters feel the need to stroke their egos by acting like complete assholes when someone has an opinion that differs from theirs? I’m just stating my opinion and the reasons for it, you are welcome to disagree- oddly enough, I have better things to do in my life than care about who is and isn’t watching StrikerS.

Oh, and the transformation sequence section is not directed at the first two seasons, but I guess you were so eager to flame that you didn’t have time to read my post properly.

Why do bloggers feel the need to stoke their egos by making long posts about why they are quiting a show so early on and that anyone who continues are just schmucks just wasting their time? And who says that red tape and fun are not known to mix, beside you of course. Plenty of shows incorporate bureaucracy as a feature, look at Gaogaigar (from which Nanoha is currently cribbing a lot from) despite the fact the Chairman never turned down Guy’s
request for the final fusion or the goldion hammer, he always had to approve the request, Guy couldn’t just save precious time and do all this stuff himself. Did this detract from the show? Hell no, it was fun watching Mikoto smash that glass button for the umpteenth time in a row.

//In these new times, four minutes per episode could be spent ensuring that every single character underwent a transformation sequence//

Actually that isn’t true, back in the good ol’ days with Sailor moon and such this pretty much was the case, with Nanoha it rarely happened as the series went along, in Nanoha A’s I’m pretty sure they only completely shown Nanoha’s hensin scene twice or so, once in the beginning and once when she got Raising Heart Excellion, hell even in this series, more often than not they skip henshin sequences if it means keeping the show rolling. One episode does not make an entire series folks.
