Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha EXCEEDS Gun Blaze Vengeance

Mana eating people out of a warehouse with blood all over her face was genuinely unsettling for a magical girl show. I get why everyone wants her gone now. shes not getting befriended thats for sure

no starlight breaker again? nanoha and fate are literally just doing background chores while Shiina gets the whole episode. theyre saving it for the finale I bet but it still stings

You cant just show me Sheena setting her own life force on fire to beat Mana and expect me to be normal about it. That whole fight outside the facility was the best action the show has put out

Mana crawling out of the wreckage at the end and just saying shes still alive ruined me. like come on let it end. also these new device voices bug me. give me back the old english ones

wall just a suggestion huh. Shiina really did learn from the best. that whole bit was my favorite thing in the episode

the Shiina rider kick at the end had me yelling. she just hunters her way through everything and I respect it. purists can stay mad about the no-beam thing

So Shinomiya isnt actually Progenitor Zero and the real villain is still out there. Two episodes left to wrap all this up feels rushed. Great action this week no question but I am worried about how they land this ending

I teared up hard when Aizawa was crying while holding bleeding Towa and telling her she gave them a place to belong. Then Kuragi transforms into a bone horror and the girls still form that battle line together. That's the whole show right there

The Fate timer bit was perfect. Ten seconds on screen and she actually stuck to it. Watching her effortlessly school those elite monsters made all those earlier villain buildup episodes feel a little silly though.

Towa burning her own lifespan away then getting her ribs shattered on an x-ray display was rough to watch. She went full suicide mode against Kuragi and still lost. Thank god the tank squad showed up when they did because that was looking real bleak

Nanoha deleting that whole map after nine episodes of watching everyone else struggle was exactly what I needed. The EXTM cannon firing off felt like a homecoming. That pink beam vaporizing the tree and the egg fields was pure catharsis

The dogeza scene broke me. Four girls begging to be arrested just for a chance to save their friend and Hayate bowing back at them. The voice acting on Aoi's crash-out was raw. Nanoha was so silent in that scene and that said everything

Shinomiya treating empowered Towa like a training dummy was genuinely terrifying. That severed arm and the green blade reveal had me shaking. The girl took a full power-up and still got dragged by the ponytail

Towa's entire history dumped in one episode felt like I was skimming a wiki page not watching a story unfold. The emotional beats hit but they hit so fast I couldn't sit with any of them

Nanoha is here to Mess Up Your Stuff (because she wouldn't swear).

I appreciate Nanoha and Fate more being backup, though I feels slightly weird for them to be supporting characters in their own franchise.

I really hope the next episode is Fate and Nanoha finishing Shinomiya off.

Bad news: The Big Bad is looking pretty strong right now. Good news: Nanoha has completed her mission objective, so now she's available to check in and see how everyone else is doing.

why couldn't they just talk for literally three minutes in that subway station. sheena was right there trying to explain where her powers came from but towa just had to draw her sword. classic forced anime misunderstanding

towa really went full crashout mode this week. taking everyone's powers and walking into the police station by herself is insane. she really thinks she can solo shinomiya after framing her like that
