After a meh first half, it got quite good. Fanservice felt forced, was it really needed?

The majority of people who view MGLN tend to find the first four episodes the least entertaining.

Fanservice and Mahou Shoujo go hand in hand. Especially when most henshin sequences are with the character naked at one point in time. It still has far less fanservice than a lot of other series.

Wayyyyy less than ZnT. And probably on par with SnS.

Yeah, ever since Fate came in... things have gotten interesting. It's kind of cool to see Nanoha get owned not once.. but twice. And I don't have a problem with her, I actually like her. But, shows like this hardly ever let the main character "lose".

The strange thing.. Feito-sama's familiar Arf can transform into a lady whereas Yuuno-kun cannot. More over, I thought Yuuno-kun was originally a human archaelogist from the same world as Feito-sama as opposed to being a ferret familiar. I cannot comprehend this. Anyhow, it seems that Feito-sama will appear more often in the series.


I think that Yuuno is a mage from the other world who gave several of its powers to Nanoha so that she could become a mage. the reason Yuuno cannot transfer back into her human form is most likely that she either needs the Raging Heart to do so, or that she is just choosing not to so as to keep her true identity from Nanoha's friends and the general public.

Brilliant ownage of Nanoha by Fate here.
The fanservice first half of the episode was quite boring but the second half was so exciting... and badass...

Fate kicks her ass again... Yeah fan service was something i didn't expect to see O.o but it was just one random scene.

i really want Yuuno to transform back, it seems like he has recovered for the most part too.

Okay the ecchi scenes were sooo not my cup of tea, I can see the others mind it too. Not sure what to expect of this show anymore. The sound effects were amazing as always but still...hope I won't be disappointed. And let's hope the ecchi levels drop. (x_x)

I actually kind of like the mystery. It'd feel too shallow if it was all obvious right off the bat.

Anyone else think that Nanoha's father might have been a mage? He had all those scars in the last episode, and in this episode there was the conversation between her parents. Something about him having more energy now and only being the owner of the restaurant. Hmm...

I like fanservice but wasn't expecting it to appear here. But I haven't watched a mahou shoujo since the time of Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura on TV so what do I know lol

Yuuno gets mistaken as a familiar. XD Why doesn't he revert to his normal self anyway? It's been weeks, he's supposed to have recovered by now.

Oh man, Nanoha got pwned again. In a shounen series this will be soul-crushing defeat, manly crying in the rain, what-am-I-living-moment kinda thing, etc. LOL We need a training/power-up arc quick! Lucky this is a shoujo, it may/may not need to do those. XD

What was up with their faces in this episode.

Yoshinari SAITO was apparently responsible for that or the other two animators working on this episode.

That probably also explains the fanservice.

Ahh I sense an evil mother. Nanoha better train up or Fate's going to take every seed she has.

Fate already seems 10x more interesting than Nanoha. I thought this was a show for younger audiences so what's with the unneeded fanservice?

That's one way too make Fate look less awful by introducing an even worse character in Barf.

Yuuno’s reaction again lol, all the girls at the hot springs.

Nanoha encounters Arf for the 1st time, another familiar.

Nanoha is unable to match Fate’s fighting ability at this point.

Wait.. Is this redhead woman - dog?.. Well, suits that this woman is a bitch, cause she literally is a dog.. ;p
It seems like Alisa grew to like Yuuno, even sleeping with him, fufu.. ;p
Hm.. So blond magic girl doesn't know what her mother uses seeds for.. Quite a red flag..
2 girls, fighting for something they don't even know.. I don't like this, honestly.. And adding a bitch to the mix.. Ugh.. I hope anime gets better, and stop being torture.. Because now we really need somewhere we're going to, just collecting things for sake of doing it is not enough.. Watching 2 girls fighting for the sake of something mystical they even don't know isn't really pleasurable, at least not for me..

Jesus christ was that first half uncomfortable, I don't really think the average mahou shoujo fan has any interest in that type thing so I don't know why it was there

Yuri ship starts here.
From the moment Fate halted her attack on Nanoha's neck, the boat has sailed for me, yes sir, proud almost 30y man here, approving this, a fraction of my heart & soul is very pure and girl looking, YURI LOVING... it APPROVES THIS.

I also love how much Nanoha is getting owned by her, makes you want to see them coming to terms and working together even more fullfilling later on.

Both series that I love, and have some nice fanservice, difference being, girls are much older there.

Fuck, I think you may be on something, there are some later covers for the show that hint to something going on like that, I guess now I really see where this is going, Fate is about to be bullied by evil mother and Nanoha will have to save her?!

Yuri INTENSIVES, YESSSSS.

Really great episode here, yuri will save this world!
