<br /><br />Pretty much what i expected in this episode, probably because the name of this episode is similar to 14.

More Vivio cuteness and a nice sparring session between Ginga and Subaru. Then the whole episode kinda slows down.

This episode was OK for a lead up to the next battle. Lots of interesting tidbits came out like all the sides with their weapons in waiting. I thought the Lt. General was in charge but it appears he answers to a higher council. Then there's the whole thing about Ginga and Subaru's past concerning the combat cyborgs. It'll be good to see how this all pans out.

The new ED may take some getting used to. At first pass I don't like the song as much as the previous ED. However I like the animation wtih the younger and older Nanoha together.

Haha...maybe Nanoha was trying a little too hard to raise Vivio.

Nanoha and Fate are obviously a lesbian couple. And with such a cute daughter at that!

I have no idea why, but I thought Mariel looked so suspicious when she was doing the physical examination of Subaru and her sister. Right when she says she'll start the physical her glasses tints into that direction and the bgm changes to that kind of mood, but I don't know. I can be completely off in this.

EDIT: but it doesn't seem right since she was never hinted as an antagonist in the 2nd season.

Nanoha's approach of making you do it yourself because she knows you can do it is what makes her such a wonderful person. My college teachers are like that, and for this, we really, really like their classes.

Also, somehow I kinda like the cyborgs. Like, they're just doing their job, and it just happens that their boss is bat fuck insane. As it happened before, it's like the bad guys are not really bad, but there is one person who is definitely and unequivocally evil...

Especially Fate telling Nanoha off. Bahaha. XD

Wish we could've seen more detail on the Nakajima sparring session; it looked like one hell of an interesting matchup.

I knew it was coming, but I burst out laughing at that rather sudden faceplant! Still, I do understand what Nanaho wants, trying to make her stronger and overcome such trials on her own! Still, nice to have two loving mothers!

Ginga VS Subaru for morning training, was fun to watch, the difference between them in power and experience was going to be obvious but Subaru is still doing very well and will continue to grow and get better as time goes on.

Zafira is doing a good job looking after Vivio, if only Arf was around to help also, haven't seen her at all.

They always fall down whenever someone says not to fall, lol Nanoha mama & Fate mama have different ideas on raising children.

I don't like what Regius is up to, it's bad enough they have to deal with Jail.

There is going to be a lot of tough times ahead for our heroes.

lol.. Fate gives a feel like a nice gentle dad in relationship with Vivio, and Nanoha as strong mother.. ;D Well, they both are moms, though.. I have no idea, why I saw Fate as gentle daddy, lol.. Well, I guess, it's because of more calmer nature of Fate in general, her calmer tone..
Hm.. So Nanoha adopted Vivio?.. Or not?.. And Fate is Christ mother, hm.. Well, 3 person family either way.. ;P It's like yuri couple adopting child.. ;P
Hm.. So is that guy secretly working with some baddies, or what?.. Or it's just some other scheming politics?.. Who still are bad news, either way, just that we saw that politics are at each other's throat..
