reminder: this review is for both reflection(movie 3) and detonation(movie 4) first the setting is chaos in here its like fastasy+science fiction+old era+new era+plantery so anything goes in here and basically it turn into like marvel multiverse so i can't help but laugh at this cause you know the real or main theme of this franchise was always been magic then this movie series was blend mainly to science fiction lol, now watching this its like it turn into alien invasion crap SO mahou shoujo element was basically erased in here, i know magic+technology was the main factor of MSLN but this is worst level kindits like the setting itself becomes a traveler or wanderer,

BUT WAIT!!! everything i said until this part i know its bad but this is actually good, cause their mahou shoujo element in nanoha series was giving them roadblock on making ideas, i mean mahou shoujo was all about mediocre magical powers, girls, girls friendship, yuri, less boys, mainly all just children and purposed only for kids to watch or etc.., bet the creators notice that so mahou shoujo was change into heroes instead so that gave them potential to create an even more better ideas and at the same time bet they were influence by their series StrikerS ideas,

if you still dont get how bad mediocre it is then try playing gacha games and get every girls every time they release new girls

now for the story: reflection was same plain mediocre but detonation was good (stiill has mediocre but only small), seriously i was surprise by this its like they change the scriptwriter,

same with the storytelling and plot, it starting to get good in detonation ngl its kinda worldbuilding scale actually so its hella good when compared to previous movies

but bruh the climax was weird nanoha was mostly doing it when she's not doing much aside from doing his ultimate magic its like they did it for comeback to tell us shes still important lol

honestly if they stick to mahou shoujo element everything will be mediocre but now they change it and the result was super good (in my own opinion ofc and compared to their prevous movies and series), cause Senki Zesshou Symphogear was like too every seasons it was common but at least better mediocre than MSLN

i rate it 9 actually cause i like their detonation's storytelling, plot twist, tension and most of all iris attitude and her new outfit (like seriously she was sexy ngl it was woman vibe) you guys might not agree with me cause you might say its low standard and yea it is (except iris ok) but also i compared it to previous movie and series so its a fact its their best one yet they created,

mixed feelings recommendation since MSLN fans might not like this cause mahou shoujo element got erased but it was still good in fact its even better

also BRUHHHHH IF ONLY!! if only Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha ViVid was like this, focusing more on einhald story that series would be hella good too T_T , sorry still can't get over on why they waste such a potential series most of all i like einhald too T_T
