Triangle Heart: Sweet Songs Forever (Anime) add

Recommended

Like most people here, I came to Triangle Heart after watching Magical Girl Lyrical Nonoha. Triangle Heart is the original series that Nanoha was spun off of.

Initial Reactions:
I have to say that overall I was pleasantly impressed by Triangle Hearts. I expected Triangle Hearts to be downright awful when I began watching it. The main stay of this franchise is that it spun-off the Nanoha Franchise. When I began watching Triangle Heart, I just knew I wasn't going to like it. I was wrong.

Action/Story:
The action in Triangle Heart is very good. The fight scenes are really what makes ...

Kiddy GiRL-AND (Anime) add

Mixed Feelings

Initial Impressions:

Kiddy GiRL-AND. First of all Kiddy GirlAnd is not Kiddy Grade. I know that when I first picked up this series I was expected it to be more of a Kiddy Grade 2. I wanted a new great series in the same vain as Kiddy Grade that I could enjoy as much as the original. Kiddy GirlAnd did not deliver. If you're a fan of the original Kiddy Grade like I am then this series might not be for you. It just doesn't compare. If you've not seen Kiddy Grade, or if you have and you're just looking for a mildly entertaining way to ... kill some time then Kiddy GirlAnd may be your thing. My initial impressions of Kiddy GirlAnd was that it was a dumbed-down, moe rehashing of the Kiddy Grade universe. As the series progressed onward I realized that it was even less than that. Kiddy GirlAnd exists almost entirely to exploit the popularity of Kiddy Grade. I kept watching the series with hopes that somewhere along the line this fact would change, and I was utterly disappointed.

Story/Characters:

Kiddy GirlAnd doesn't even give an honest attempt to make it seem as thought it not meant to be a Kiddy Grade tie in. This is clear by "plot" which can basically be summarized as this: Eclair and Lumiere from Kiddy Grade have frozen a certain area of time and space to stop a large bomb from going off. Now 25 years later, the GTO must help them diffuse the bomb before it finally goes off. The several appearances Kiddy Grade heroines Eclair and Lumiere help to cement their roles in the story. The main protagonists Ascuer and Q-fuille make it blatantly obvious from the beginning of the series that they are essentially place holders for their Kiddy Grade counterparets. Ascuer and Q-fuille's personalities and special abilities are almost exact copies of Eclair's and Lumiere's. Many other carbon copy characters appear throughout the series driving home the idea that Kiddy GirlAnd is by and large a glorified fan fic. In addition to this there is almost no character development for anyone in the series save one or two characters.

Notes:

A point to note in Kiddy GirlAnd is the "fan service." There's a LOT of it. It is fairly gratuitous and is not done in a clever or engaging manner. It's just thrown out there in a very blatant and inelegant manner. I have to say that personally this "fan service" did little in the way of bettering my thoughts about the series. That being said, Kiddy GiRL-AND is a relatively good series considering what it's purpose was: an extended "fan service" special tacked onto the end of Kiddy Grade.
