Heaven and Earth ~ Eccentric Uncle's Galactic Friendship Chronicles ~ - "Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS" Episode 11: "A Day Off for Tactical Section Six (Part 2)"
At noon today, in someone else's dormitory, I painstakingly finished eating while enduring construction noise exceeding 70 decibels from the nearby site... After finishing, I could no longer hear sounds below 50 decibels. ||| Orz.
The first half of the performance was pretty good. After handing over the young girl to Nanoha and Fate, the four rookies successively changed into their battle outfits, ready to face the enemy. In fact, the initial battle was quite impressive, with the Sixth Mobile Corps having the upper hand for a while. During the middle part, Subaru’s older sister Ginga finally made her appearance. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see Ginga’s transformation sequence; instead, there was a light orb that lasted less than two seconds… By the way, although it was known early on that Ginga’s magical artifact is the same as Subaru’s, she just seemed awkward when wearing it, lacking Subaru’s presence. However, aside from the artifact, the protective suit looked pretty cool. = =|||
As the plot reached its midpoint, Nanoha and Fate also joined the battle, starting to counterattack the enemies in the sky. At first, they smoothly suppressed the aerial assault, but then an unexpected situation arose. Suddenly, several squadrons of "red dots" appeared on the "map," catching Nanoha and Fate off guard, forcing them to adopt a defensive stance. At this moment, Hayate obtained permission from Chrono and Carim to lift the Level 3 restriction, causing her abilities to instantly transform from those of a mere grunt into those of a tyrant. So Hayate flew up into the sky and casually unleashed some kind of ultimate attack. Several luminous orbs resembling cruise missiles streaked across the sky with long trails, and then all the red dots on the map turned into crosses. = =||| Watching these scenes made me feel the same way as seeing Haruka use some ancient martial art to throw Saigo dozens of feet away in the anime “Nogizaka Haruka’s Secret” (Volume 1, Episode 4). = =|||
Although the aerial battle was quickly resolved, the rookies' battle underground continued. The appearance of Little Rider Lutecia and a certain masked figure put the rookies on the defensive. Although Teana attempted to forcibly stop Little Rider Lutecia’s actions, she failed due to her own weakness (||||= =). In the end, although they didn’t suffer complete annihilation, their defeat was quite pitiful. |||Orz. However, it seems that Ginga’s abilities are not bad; she even managed to blast the masked figure away at one point…
By the way, mysteries began to resurface again = =. Not only does the voice actor for a certain unknown character match Subaru’s, but the mention of "artificial mages" also raises many questions. I wonder if Fate will recall past pains upon learning the truth and then become possessed by DORORO, squatting on the ground drawing circles = =. And that masked figure is just too out of place… Cast Off! Clock Up! Dong Ga – Swish Swish Swish – (this is sound effects = =||).
It seems like the next episode will have some substantial content, but what I’m looking forward to more is Hayate’s transformation scene～～
