Nanoha innocent was the only manga worth adapting. Not exactly excited for Vivid. Although adapting Force would have been even worse (to me).

More Nanoha anime = more fun. Though I can't say that Im really excited on it as ViVid is like the Dragonball(kid goku version) version of Nanoha.

Perhaps this adaptation might bring back those martial art theme story in animation? That might be something to look forward to.

Yay my most beloved Mahou Shoujo franchise gets a new anime - that is great news!

Glad they picked Vivid for an adaption, better than the convoluted mess that Force is. Only Innocent would have been even better.

Good for Nanoha fans. Looks like the Blu-rays and films sold well.

Man, I've only seen the first season.

Yeap! "Innocent" would be more than better, but I agree with you, better ViVid than Force.

I will never understand why people like Innocent so much. It's not kanon, it uses trend online-games theme and it's even more lighthearted than ViVid.

I haven't read Infinite Library ark of ViVid yet(waiting for translation) but Tournament ark was great action sports anime. It reminded me Saki and Girls und Panzer but with magic and martial arts theme. But the best thing were flashbacks about Unification war. I really want to see more about Olivie and other ancient heroes.

OH MY GOD. YES.

I've never read ViviD actually, because I really wasn't into reading mangas after finishing StrikerS years ago. But after rewatching the first two seasons last year, I told myself I would read Vivid after rewatching StrikerS but I guess I'll just wait for the animation.

I have a question though, since I haven't read anything after StrikerS. Do we actually get to see Nanoha & Feito-chan a lot in Vivid? I'm seeking for more adult!Fate and Bardiche and I have a love-hate relationship with Vivio.

I've been meaning to start Nanoha. My only experience with it so far is a crossover one-shot with Prism Illya.

You haven't seen Nanoha?

Which means you haven't experienced the GREATEST Mahou Shoujo to ever be created....Fate?

Shame on you!

Being light hearted isn't the problem with Vivid. It's the excessive fanservice and massively expanding one-shot characters. Nanoha Innocent is full of moe and focuses on the top-tier charcters of the franchise without actually adding more of them. Plus the character designs are infinitely more badass looking than Vivid when it wants to be. It may not be Canon to the original Nanoha timeline, but Vivid and Force just make me wish the Nanoha franchise stopped with StrikerS. An AU like Nanoha Innocent is a breath of fresh air to those who disliked the route the Nanoha franchise was going with the Vivid and Force mangas.

And yes, Nanoha Innocent has quite a bit of fanservice as well, but the series plays that to its strength and it's much better than the pointless clothes shredding fanservice that Vivid provides...

Great news. Although there is no much of direction in Vivid, it's much better compared to Force. While Force has more of a story, it's just badly-written and it recycles elements from the previous seasons. Plus it seems to be canceled, so it doesn't seems there might be a chance to make an anime out of it. I could see more of a chance of Innocent getting a bunch of OVA or so, even if it's not canon pretty much.

I wonder now, how the third movie will connect to Vivid. Will it be a StrikerS prologue exclusive to the movies or just a new continuation and Vivid will be a sequel to the TV series?

Thank you for showing me that I'm not alone in wanting a Force anime. Fortress Nanoha would be amazing animated. Not to mention, Nanoha, Fate, and Hayate look gorgeous in Force whereas they look okay in Vivid. Well, that;s just the artstyle.

But, it's a Nanoha TV series for the first time in seven years and I'd be a fool to look a gift horse in the mouth since this could lead to the possibility of a Force anime *fingers crossed*

YES. Let's. Fucking. GO. Best news I've heard all year anime-wise. If Negima finally gets an adaptation off the strength of UQ Holder then I'm pretty much satisfied with manga adaptations for good.

I really don't understand people bothered with fancervice in ViVid. It's not the main focus any bit and it never concerned me. New characters are developed the same amount as in Saki which is enough for me. And I like the designs.

ViVid has a great action and it's different from previous parts while still managing to be a sequel. And the best thing is that it takes some focus on Saint King Unification war and Olivie. I had some problems with Force same as most people here but I like general direction Nanoha goes. Military sci-fi or sports-like action is much better than another season of mahou-shoujo with lolis even if it would be packed with drama and action. Don't get me wrong A's is still my favorite season but I prefer if they just fix Force somehow or make a new story with the similar to StrikerS and Force atmosphere but less global than go to square one with alternate setting like they did with Innocent.

It's weird. I'm a huge Nanoha "fan" but I have yet to even finish the first season (I've been on episode 3 for years)... damn doujins.

Now I have an excuse to watch all seasons, all movies, read the manga...

I compeltely agree with this. Vivid is unlike its preceding series and Force, in that it combines several really fantastic plot types in one. It has the mahou shoujo aspect that I'm sure everyone in this forum loves, but it also combines that sports darma with a historical mystery as well. And, without spoiling anything, I can say that the plot is intriguing. I don't know if it stands up to A's, imo, but I find it to be really engaging, even if it's just a completely different type of story. I just hope they don't go overboard with the fanservice like they have been lately, especially as it's not the focus of the manga.

Actually I should say I don't compeltely agree. I do want to see an Innocent anime as well, since it's just simply a silly alternate universe that happens to have Stern as a prominant character.

nanoha and fate does not appear much in vivid, vivid mainly focuses on vivio and her gang of friends + nove deici and some of the 12 number girls that fought with force six during the 3rd season. Nanoha do appear in the manga more frequently than fate though, most of the time as cameo only, sometimes not even 1 page per chapter lol. ( with the exception of the first few chapters in the front where they were having simulation training) .

Personally i am happy to have vivid animated but i would've preferred innocent or another more nanofate centered season (maybe during the timeline in between A's and strikers) , they've been expanding their character pool too rapidly thesedays, look at strikers, we have 20 new characters there and now in vivid we're gonna get another 20.

But still, more nanoha franchise are always welcomed <3
