| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I was just supposed to be an ordinary anime watcher, but a sudden situation changed everything. A girl named Fate Testarossa appeared in my Mahou Shoujo Animu. She had a scythe and a lot of beautiful blond hair. Her clothing was stylish and her voice was lovely to hear. Is Fate the next killer moe girl that many MGLN fans have told me about? It sure looks that way at the moment. But the poor kitten...and those voices on the magical staffs...ah!!! |
| Fate is about the best thing that happened to the Nanoha series :P |
     |
| Wow, MGLN eps topic a few years after It's release. In any case. Fate. <3 |
| This is my one of fave episode in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha where 1st appearance of My No.1 Favorite character in all Nanoha series named Fate Testarossa with her black staff called Bardiche and here's the story Nanoha said to her she has such beautiful eyes and hair |
 |
| I thought the maid girl was more interesting, to be honest... I guess we'll see how it goes. |
| A great epsiode, I love the introduction to the new character! |
  |
| umm... fate appeared, that is an automatic 10/5 for this episode this episode lightened up my whole year just because of fate |
     |
| Oh wow, something interesting happened. I'll ignore what everyone has to say about Fate and judge her myself :P |
 |
Iriya said: Fate is about the best thing that happened to the Nanoha series :P She's the only best thing that happened to the series. But yeah, history was made when Fate made her debut. Anywho, Fate is the best and wins every day. She is #1 in my heart forever and for always above everything else. ^__^; |

| For God's sake... Moar Fate! Awesome how everyone at the Tsukimura residence has purple hair. |
| I will admit that Fate is an interesting character, based on her introduction. But, I think the show was pretty good before. I also think she adds something missing from the series before.. a badass. At least that's what I hope she is... |

| Before watching this I heard how awesome fate is and I found out her first appearance would be on the 4th episode so I was kinda bored on the first 3 episodes. I would agree fate saved this series and made it more interesting for me. Favorite character as well in Nanoha series. |
| This episode doesn't really show me why everyone seems to love Fate soo much, but I admit that she helped to make this episode decent. |
| Yay nanoha lost! |
helur said: Yay nanoha lost! lol, don't like Nanoha I take it? |
| Well so far the moe girls and exquisite sound effects are about the only thing that would keep me interested in watching this. Let's hope they turn it up a notch. People were right about episode 4 by the way, it does get better. |
 |
| Ah, now some much-needed tension. This series is getting good! |
| Fate is soooo awesome!!! and she has a scythe!!!! XD |
   |
| I don´t get why everyone loves Fate. She does look kinda cool, but she didn´t do anything THAT interesting yet. |
| The one that introduced me this anime "Fate" <3 |
| Finally a rival. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I don't see why everyone loves Fate and says she made this episode better. She assaulted that poor kitten. I could never like a character that knowingly harmed a cat, no matter their reasons. I hope the cat was all right... |
| Well, let's see if you sing the same tune after you get into the core of the series and Fate's conflict. |
| If I continue it - I'm thoroughly bored so far. I’ve only watched it so far because of how people rave about it. I’ll probably at least watch season one though… it’s not long, after all. |
| The first season is not what everyone raves over, it is the second season, Nanoha a's. Even on Myanimelist you can see the huge difference in rating between the first and second season. |

I could never like a character that knowingly harmed a cat, no matter their reasons. I hope the cat was all right... Agreed I don't know if the cat's ok she/he got electrocuted and shot at it was sooo sad! A part of me will hate Fate forever for that and for not knowing the cat's fate (ironically enough). Anyone know for sure if the cat was ok or not? For the most part of me though I can't resist the awesome yuri undertone with those two so...I won't hate Fate forever. |
| The new character's staff called her Sir... and yet she's not offended? |
| Pudding! Puuuudding!! ~ Kero-Chan |
| the best thing i've seen from this show really is just the Nanoha's transformation scene, nice music and all. Other than that, show pretty boring loool. |

| When I saw the cover here on MAL I thought Fate was Nanoha, she stands out so much more than the actual Nanoha. I love her character design way more than anyone else so far, now to watch the rest and see if her personality is cool too since this episode didn't really say much about her |
 |
Hakunari said: Maybe she doesn't care as long as it functions like it's supposed to do. The new character's staff called her Sir... and yet she's not offended? Somebody call the animal rights activists! LOL But seriously the poor (and huge) kitten just got photon blasted and electrocuted, was there no gentler methods to do it? They're under a magical barrier anyway (which was dispelled when the natural colors came back, I think), I assumed the rival saw or sensed that as well so they have plenty of time to seal it more humanely or something. I don't know why I'm affected with that though, must be the internet infecting me with all those cute kitten photos and lolcats. X-P |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| I guess, seeing that it originally aired several years earlier that the people who say Fate saves the series etc. saw it before and are rewatching, as in this episode, Fate (we didn't even get hear name yet iirc..) did nothing out of the ordinary. Basically she was your average Mahou Shojo villain. |
| Ahhh there she is :D |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Interesting character development! Pretty nice action as well and lol that giant neko! |
 |
| Didn't lose her way: ☑ |
| I've been enjoying Yuuki Yuuna is a Hero, and seeing its group of magical girls in action inspired me to go back and watch Nanoha again, since it's been so many years that I don't actually remember much of MGLN anymore, other than generally liking it. Anyway, still liking it so far the second time, and a few memories are slowly coming back; I'd forgotten that it took this long for Fate to make her debut. Still, there aren't many more dramatic ways to announce your arrival than dispassionately beating down the heroine and taking her Jewel Seed. |
 |
| I have spent majority of the first part trying to figure out how many cats there were, I can only say there were at least 7 cats. |
 |
| Nanoha's reaction when she saw the big kitten was priceless. Oh boy, that new girl doesn't seem bad but really went to town bullying that cat. Can't help but laugh when the staves start talking in English. What that girl said at the end makes me wonder what more there is to the jewel seeds. Also, if she's collecting them all then I take it another face off will occur at some point. |
 |
| Fate doesn't look like she's 9 |
 |
| Oh, come on, Yuuno! The kitten just wants to play with you. |
| As if the show was responding to my previous comment adds a new and interesting character. It already seems like she's going to add a lot to the show. |
 |
| Nanoha can witness loving relationship between her mother and father, and also between her brother and girl.. I mean.. Yeah.. Sometimes being younger sibling has its' pluses.. Maybe.. And friends are concerned about Nanoha's being.. Damn, this anime has so much of admirable relationships.. ;p Damn, happenings with that new girl are intense.. Don't know, how I feel about her now, will wait for more.. For now it looks like collecting Seeds is everything she's interested in really.. Possibly to return to mother.. And possibly she is ready to hurt anyone for her cause.. This show leaves on a heavy note for a couple of episodes.. |

Had this thought as well, when I was watching, to be honest.. But now I watched it.. Won't spoil, how it is.. ;P |
