Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha

... that's a little weak. Especially compared to Nanoha's overt mecha shout-outs.

I'm still pondering the meaning of this official artwork. Is she really gonna pilot a mecha now?

Maybe they made a bet with ne Rebuild of Evangelion guys that they could build a more revealing plugsuit...

Or it somehow lets her use Starlight Breaker scaled up to Shipboard Weaponry.

You're worried about that? I'm more concerned about this!

Why? She's already used that in the manga.

I found the link for the Vivio and Einhart pic. If it doesn't appear at first, just refresh the page and you'll see it.

doesn't work.

Damn it, a hotlink?

BS.

that's a little weak. Especially compared to Nanoha's overt mecha shout-outs.

Look at at a Combining Mecha series like Gao Gai Gar with this.

Then look at Digimon 01 and 02's Jogress Evolutions in particular, Digimon Frontier's Fusion evolutions and above and especially Digimon Xros Wars many many Digicrosses

If those aren't Blantant Super Robot pandering like Nanoha's Super Robot panderings, I don't know what is.

My problem might be the exact opposite, in that the characters might start winning based on their plot importance alone, and not actual abilities.

Well, if you're talking about FORCE is already proved that no amount of ability can do a thing against the current villains, plot importance is all what the heroes have now to keep fighting(and is more or less the only thing preventing them from dying at this point xDU).

Actually, I was talking about Vivid (I've only skimmed through the first few Force chapters). From the comments I'm getting really worried it might follow.

Here's a better link for chapter 17, especially for those that wanted to see the short cameo by Vivio and Einhart:

I pray this isn't a freaking hotlink.

Oh wow, I just took a gander at that and discovered that I don't recognize ANYONE.

ehm...*sees picture of curren* I'll Be in My Bunk.

Thanks very much. First I'm seeing the chapter, though I'd read a summary before. Vivio and Einhart's appearnace is even more random than I'd heard, though it's nice to see they're growing up well.

Huckebeins are as disgusting as ever I see. Not surprised.

Also, Android, I like the Aoko avatar, Really cool.

I know. I admit she's damn hot, but since she's the head of the Big Bads she'll probably put that rapier of hers where the sun don't shine and kick my ass if she knew I work for the Bureau. Other than that, hawt date material.

It's only when she's got her Rape Face at the 2nd page of the chapter that gives me the chills.

@Chaosjunction: Thank you. :3 Aoko is my favorite character from Type-Moon and I fell in love with her ever since I watched the non-existent Tsukihime anine. Made this avatar from one of the covers of Type Moon ACE.

Yeah, I recognized where it came from, which is why I'm impressed, most would used the more well known pics of Aoko. BTW, if you couldn't tell, I'm a huge Aoko fan, too.

However, that avatar just reminded of the non-existent Mahoyo, which make me a little sad, but I'll persevere.

Oh, wait, I'm dumb. There are more pages.

Okay, now I recognize the Section Six HQ.

Einhart looks very...manly (I believe the proper term is Bifauxnen). with that triangular yaw of hers.

Seriously? Einhart did not look manly at all in that pic, to me at least.

Well, it's debatable, but she definitely looks much more mature than Vivio, who still exhibits all of her cuteness.

Good golly, but Nanoha looks like a completely different person now!

I was wondering about how will be if somehow(by a timeskip or something) we manage to see the Hucks drawed with ViViD's artstyle, i wuill be scarred for life if Curren gives me a smile using that "drugged smiling face" that has become staple on ViViD, you know what i'm talking about o_O!

Curren...HOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOT!

Nice to see her actually being scary without Stella making a silly face in the same panel and ruining it.
