Review of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS

Nanoha, Fate and friends are back and they bring even some more friends with them. This time they have to face some bigger enemy than before. I won't say too much who they are going to fight but it will be revealed later on after some episodes in the story... I have to say that the pace of the story is kept thanks to the higher number of NOW 26 episodes pretty slower at the beginning...but around the half it is getting to the real plot and also increasing the speed. Before it was more like an introduction to the newer characters and how they trainor progress.

Don't get me wrong ;) everything is build up pretty nice for the final battles and they are also well executed...even though a little bit predictable.

To the characters...the old ones are all the same and I have to say that I personally like it. Don't expect any big characteristic developments or change of minds.
But the new characters bring some fresh air with it. Nothing new or spectacular for animes will happen just some typical sad background is included for them. But someone bringing up some interesting flair is included too. For example I'm talking about Teana who is new now and who uses some pistol like Device. Other are Caro who can summon dragons, Erio who fights with a spear like Device and Subaru using a rollerblades Device. - a side note, a Device is a magic tool for fighting and defending..

I enjoyed it quite a lot and it is staying truthful to the previous seasons. That is also a plus for me. Of course the battles improved and show some more action too, another thing that is nice.
For the music, I didn't pay too much attention to it but it was suiting and pleasant enough for the setting. 2 op's and ed's.
So then finally if you like Nanoha and co. then you can watch the 3rd season without any problems because it sticks to the friendship, magic and fighting themes. It is really enjoyable and looking also nicely drawn, don't miss it out if your especially a fan.
