Nanoha Movie
Tis indeed good news for Nanoha fans - a movie coming to the big screen this Winter.
The only 2D animation I've seen in the theater has been the first Japanese Street Fighter Animation many many moons ago.
Actually no, I also remember seeing Howls moving castle in the theater too.
Do they screen many animated movies in your region?

Movie 1st?! That means there's going to be more than one?!!!

Please excuse me as I squeal like a 8 year old girl.
Movie generally means high-quality, which is desperately needed after the QUALITY that is StrikerS. Looks like it takes place around A's too, which is even better.
So yeah, I'm happy. DO WANT!

Nanoha A's is by far my favourite!

After A's? Well, that's something to look forward to considering that there is such a large time gap between A's and Strikers.

Yay! I have been waiting for some sort of sequel... though I didn't expect it so soon :D

Cool... Now I wonder whether to get Dengeki G or Megami...
Notice that Nanoha's costume seems to have undergone an upgrade, but Raising Heart seems to be missing a magazine.....

Nanoha's also sporting shorter pigtails, and from what I can make out, Bardiche has a more 'bat wing' look to it.

Oho, finally more Nanoha. Sounds like there's more than one movie lined up.
I wonder.. whether they will continue from Strikers, or fill in the gap between A's and Strikers.

It's not a sequel. It's a remake of the 1st season. Furthermore, it's taking place in a parallel universe.
Still, getting to see loli Nanoha and Fate again is great news. ;)

figured as much. But the first 2 series were pretty condensed. It's kinda hard to see what they can remove to fit it into a movie length feature.

Aw man, really? I really wanted to see that gap between A's and StrikerS filled.
Oh well. Parallel universe = not an identical retelling, which is good enough for me.
UOIT student
it's going back to the roots of said time but the scans show the characters drawn to be older than they were in the original first season.. i think maybe around the time of A's age-wise. so preteen?..that's what i think anyways.

Parallel Universe? I hope they do not write the story such that the Starlight Breaker blow on Fate is fatal......
Animated movies? Only if the director or studio is critically acclaimed here in sg. The first and the last anime movie I watch was Evangelion.

Yet another reason to quickly watch all 3 seasons before I'm too outdated.
Oh wait, too late.

I must win the award for most out of the loop with Nanoha. Only managed to get a few of the second series.

I caught 2 episodes from the 3rd season, and have absolutely no clue about Nanoha or Fate apart from what people have told me and wikipedia.
I think I've won that award from you. :P

I may have beat you both as I have not watched any. I just finished downloading it so I will probably loose the award. hehe

"Do they screen many animated movies in your region?"
No. But recently there was a anime film festival here and they showed many good Miyazaki films and a few by other directors.
I had a great time. It is great to watch films like Porco Rosso and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind from a big screen:)

More Nanoha is always good ^^

uh, bad thing is: we outside of Japan have to wait for dvd (rip) to watch...and it means extending the wait for around 3-4 months...nevertheless, i'll be waiting for the movie :D

Loli fans rejoice! XD
This will really take off some of the shock that's StrikerS. I mean, it was fine and dandy, but they got a bit too serious into the conspiracy thing.
UOIT student
actually, personally i feel StrikerS was well done. it feels quite conclusive at the end though so i'm not sure about any sequels after that. (which might be the reason for the parallel story)
perhaps he storyline grew with the character growth (nanoha being i think 17-22yrs or so.. i forget how old she is supposed to be but around there i believe) as well as audience growth. but even so, i feel it has still kept its themes. basically, it's constantly maturing. you start with the original series where they are kids. then grow up a bit, and finally grow up quite some more. (still haven't watched A's..i'll get around to it sooner or later..)
that's my two cents on StrikerS and the series as a whole.

Nanoha! Nanoha! NANOHA!!!

how did you hear? haha guess it was a bit too loud xD

I have only one thing to say: FAN-TA-STIC! :D
(oh, megami mag sept issue is already out? that's very early...)
Undergraduate
They always release a new issue 1 full month ahead of the actual month eg. Sep issue in end July/early August
100th issue this issue.. WOOT!
now watch as Kinokuniyas halfway around the world take 3 weeks to stock it.. as least that's the average time it takes for Kino Singapore to bring it in.

Can't wait till it's on dvd. The chances of it playing here in a theater in the states (at least in my area) is very unlikely. The only animated movies we get as far as I know are Disney and Pixar movies. I'd love to see this in a theater too. Giant Nanoha ftw!

Winter??? I may actually be in Japan to see it! Oh wait... No subs...
Anyway, Nanoha is one of my top favourite animes... Really looking forward to it! :)

I still didn't watch Nanoha... T_T
As for animated movies in my region, yes, they do screen.
But unfortunately, most of the times it's dubbed versions only.
So I usually watch at home. I HATE dubbed stuff.
In Brazil, theater owners still have the stupid idea that animation is for kids only, thus showing them with dubbing only.

Well, the last animated movie shown here is Naruto...
I didn't watch it cause I already watched it on subs...
Anys, I want to watch Nanoha MOVIE!!!!!!!
As a fan of the Nanoha series!!!!I want to watch it!!!!!!
Wow! Thats great!
Although it be even better if they make a comedy spinoff like FMP Fumoffu, but i guess its only a fanboy's dream.

Hopefully the quality is better this time around, as well as the story. Sorry to fanboys of the series but the 3rd season was just bad. Nanoha A's was just AWESOME.

That's great news. Hopefully the Nanoha franchise will be so popular that the studio will release the improbable 4th season.

Not many Japanese animated movies are being screened in my region. The last one being Evangelion 1.0 and that was released last month which is a long time way after it was released it Japan. The movie was also limited to only one cinema in the whole of my country ^^.
Hoping that more animated movies will be screened here and sooner too.
Student, Uncle & hopfully a good husband..
Can't wait...wonder what date exactly...
