Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha ViVid · review
The 'Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha' franchise, is one I've liked for a while so I was very excited that Nanoha ViViD released as an anime, however it is too short which makes the story quite undeveloped. I do feel like this anime was to get viewers interested in the original manga itself, however they still should of focused on the anime's story and it's main characters progress. I like how they kept the previous voice actors for majority of the characters, it bodes well. Maybe they should make a second season (I think it would be pretty good for all those characters that didn't fight in thisseason, to appear clearly in the next one).
This series is quite different from the previous three, it's not as climatic (in a life or death manner), this involves more slice of life/competition within itself kind of anime; it's good however not intense.
Overall, I do like where this anime is coming from, but it lacks in a lot of ways. So hopefully, there is a second season that has more episodes (preferably 24).
For all those out there who are interested in this anime;
- If you've watched the previous three seasons: go ahead, it's a whole new experience though might be disappointing for few. It's still a pretty good watch.
- If you haven't watched the previous three seasons: this might pose a problem, since it's different completely different to the previous three, but if you intend to, watch the three seasons first. :)
