First things first. My "reviews" system is explained on a blog entry. Which can be found through my profile. ------ Short review for BOTH first and second movie. ---- ✦Story Remakes of 1st and 2nd season. Read synopsis of main series or reviews or whatever. Not gonna comment the same story all over again. I'm going mention only obvious things for most part. Basically its condensed version of series. So of course it will suffer from faster development and cut content. But as standalone I did enjoy it same as series. Did yes, watch with skips, but it's because I binge watched Nanoha and I cannot be bothered to re-watch somethingin a row.

✦Art&Sound
Years have passed and so has animation&art. It's years after main series so obviously Animation and Art is much better. It was quite enjoyable, still simple, colorful and cool magic.

Oh and it's rated R simply because of transformation sequences showed nipples. Found it moronic, It's still same "child can watch" tier Anime.

Music&OST I found this time around being a bit boring. Didn't impress me much.

✦Character
Do i really need to comment anything? Cast is same, all is same, charas are same. Only a bit less growing into them maybe, as it's 13 ep series condensed into 2hour movies.

To add. Magical Devices did talk a lot more here than in the series. And their representing languages were better here.

✦Enjoyment&Overall
Enjoyed them to the same amount, but maybe been different if would have watched movies before series. Or watch movies years after series. But nevertheless i enjoyed them as much as series and got to see prettier visuals.
