Lyrical Nanoha 4th Series: Mahou Shoujo No More

Popular eroge derived mahou shoujo anime Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha is to receive what is being billed as its “4th series”, although the new production will actually be a comic, at least to start, a change which has surprised fans.
Less surprising to fans, but possibly problematic to some, is that the series will no longer be billed as “Mahou Shoujo” Lyrical Nanoha, but as 魔法戦記リリカルなのはForce / Mahou Senki Lyrical Nanoha Force, senki here meaning something along the lines of “Martial Chronicle”.
The reason for the change? Nanoha is 25, and so cannot reasonably be called a “magical girl” any longer…
Predictably, a contingent of fans is complaining that they don’t want any old women in their anime.
It’s not clear whether this is intended to be adapted to an anime later, or to be part of a media mix; a comic only installation certainly would be a winding down of the series… A close reading of the announcement yields “the fourth series starts with a comic”, which leaves things open. On the heels of the movie, an anime sounds plausible…

I'll make her feel like a shoujo again if you know what I mean.

Law enforcement, which follows pro-women anti-man mandates, is superior in force to me; yes. It is superior in force to all individual men.
women's rights is bad for Men.
Men are barred from having young females of childbearing age as wives (they must instead accept ladies of the night (those who have been around) who are wise to the world and are knowlegable about all their enforced privledges against Man).
Men are forbidden to have relations at will with their wives (marital rape) (this makes marrige prostitution: the man must pay the "wife" in obediance and services inorder to get permission... if he doesn't get permission he goes to jail for a long time.)
Men are punished for saying what they wish when it offends a woman (sexual harrasment).
Equality is BAD for Men. The only system where Men aquire what they wish and are happy for their lives is one where that which is advantageous to Men exists.
An example of such a system that is advantageous to Men is seen in rural Turkey aswell as in the Old Testament of the Bible:
*Men marry young females of childbearing age (females gain the ability to have children at age 12, 13, or 14.)
*Men have relations with their wives at will (no right of refusual or right to control one's own body for the females.)
*Men say as they wish, there are no sexual harrasment policies or laws.
*If a Man does rape a young virgin who is not the property of another man (that is: she is not bethrothed (the status of living at her husband's house for one year before the marraige ceremony), and not married, but instead a young maiden girl) he merely pays the father some money and takes that girl as a wife of his (this is seen in Deuteronomy chapter 22). This is one thing that rural Turkey is famous for... though it is not Christian nor Jewish.
*Adultery is defined as a married female having relations with a man not her husband or a man having relations with another man's wife. All this hinges on the rights of the Man, not on those of a female.

Wow... either superior troll or somebody's taking the internet WAAAAAAAAY too seriously.
Oh no, not YOU again. Didn't you take the hint from last time.
To everyone else, this guy is NOT a troll, he actually believes what he's saying.
Indeed he does believe in what he says.
GTFO
Back on topic, I was really expecting a new Nanoha, but this... well not really attracted, still will watch it.
tl;dr
Sugee comment. But I don't have a clue what you wrote about, because I cherish my time and don't bother to read any super-long comments about what's right and what's bad.
To the topic. Continuation? Great! Nanoha will be 25 which means that Fate will be 25, too. Ohh~ I'm really looking forward to it. But Fate in StrikerS was already fully developed so there won't be probably any big change in her appearance. Even so, 25-year-old Fate...*doki doki* Feito-nee-chama~
But loli Fate was pretty, too ^^
please do not feed the troll
i dont feed it, i just sleep with it last night.. @_@
Ok, I lol'd
Internets is serious business.
Someone wanna give me a summery im not so crazy over Nanoha that im gonna write a essay about it :P
Even though I did do that on my english exam...
Why aren't you living in rural Turkey yet again?
Actually its not a question of rights or equality since power,smarts and money level most playing fields.
Its more about the stupid ways we try and make everyone equal and protected from their own stupidity.
wat
so what is mahou shoujo all about any who...anyone wanna give a quick lay down of the back story to it?
First Series:
Grade schooler Nanoha befriends Fate by blasting her with extreme amounts of attack magic.
Second Series:
Nanoha and Fate befriend a group of knights by blasting them with extreme amounts of attack magic.
Third Series:
The girls train a new generation to be able to befriend other people by blasting them with extreme amounts of attack magic.
tl;dr: little girls blast each other shounen-style and become friends, cue awesome fights without too much powerleveling and no mind battles.
Try watching some episodes, even if it starts very similar to Card Captor Sakura.
And Artefact, you missed to mention the fact, that the announcement was in a new magazine run by Kadokawa.
I smell trolling again...
It mentions SWII on the same page so it's not all Haruhi...
It's called NyanTYPE. It's a magazine that's supposedly going to compete w/ Megami. It's gonna have posters as well.
CHeers for the info Kanna
So basically, "befriend" means "beat the sh!t out of", apparently...
Yes, with ludicrous amounts of firepower, that would make the DBZ cast envious.
No more loli Nanoha... well since StrikerS but there's always Vita.
Delicious Vita!
Gonna be about Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Vivio anyway. I'm not complaining, btw ^__^
Magical Jukujo Anime anyone?
So... Nanoha is 25 and gradually becomes older huh? The question is, is she willing to remain as a virgin in her lifetime? D:
C'mon Roji... That's what Fate is for. Sheesh.
Agreed. I mean, wasn't there enough innuendo to pretty much put them as a couple anyways?
Actually, I think according to an ID card for Nanoha you get with a japanese DVD purchase (I forget WHICH volume off-hand though), it lists Fate as her spouse...
You're referring to this:
http://i42.tinypic.com/334ujy1.jpg
However, as much as I would /LOVE/ for this to be the case, unfortunately, it's not. Somebody just has some superior Photoshop skillz.
Here's the real ID, without the marital line (unfortunately)
http://i40.tinypic.com/2efuzcx.jpg
{sniff, sniff}
she wasn't even a virgin in Striker S if you ask me, She and Fate have done it way to many times by now :P
I'm very excited about this. I don't need it to be an anime. Just need more Nanoha. Can't wait for someone to translate it. Is there any expected release date?
The magazine is supposed to come out sometime in April.
I think Nanoha stoped being "mahou shoujo" in second half of first season.
Also first movie WHEN/WHERE????!!!
There's also an announcement somewhere for Mahou Shoujo Lyrical ViVid on July somewhen.

Nvm. I retract what I said about you earlier. Artefact, you might wanna delete these multipleposts from this arsehole...
Nah, it looks more like a spambot.
Go troll on another blog, you outrageous muslim!
i know very well about the problem going against man and not having equal rights,or even being downcasted as a man.
I researched quite a lot.Found out a few things.
Cool triple-post, bro.
ok. I've seen some small trolling on these comments and haven't bothered much but now I'm really irritated.
A big troll-comment like this three times!
I REALLY hope this will not be repeated to often or some kind of report-troll-comment function has to be implemented.
FYI he's not a troll...though he is trolling his theological convictions.
Looked through the whole gallery myself, out of boredom(or did I?). =P Guess I'll look through again just to see if there're new ones.
Someone should pool all those comics randomly scattered about. They're hilarious. Zest + biceps = win. Tsundere Teana plus yuri is also win. xD
hmm you downloaded every pic?
Rar it and post it here so i can download it.You would save me the time
Nope, sorry, I just scanned through them, don't have the space on the comp to save all of them. T.T
Wish you luck on your endeavor.
"old women"
I lol'd
25 years not considered old for you?
cant wait for a 4th season, well she might be 25 by now but theres still vita <3 and i find it rather nice and refreshing that the girls really grow up.
And Vivio has both her nanoha-mama and her fate-mama so no guys needed in that relationship lol.
BTW spill your rotten copypasta elsewhere this isnt /b/
Well vita never "grows up" :P as you mentioned there is always vita LOL :P
A's and StrikerS both began as manga several month before they were animated. This certainly isn't a new trend and it's not "surprising fans" either.
*months
was the manga any different then the anime?
It's more like the manga adds to the anime.
It's not a retelling, rather side-stories and prologues.
Very interesting to read. Highly recommended.
thx dude gonna read it.
More info about NyanType: This new magazine will come out near the end of April and will center around bishoujo. From what the official announcement says it will have 170 pages in A4 format and have a lot of special posters inside. a special web service that allows readers to buy limited edition goods will also be available. sounds nice.
Ah, finally she's at a level where one could consider her a milf. Still not as good as a loli for my tastes but better then any generic youth. And man was she generic in most of StrikerS.
I hope she'll return to her ass kicking self.
Yay for more adult female anime characters; love them. Glad to see characters maturing as their series continues.
Seconed
Erica, is it you?
Yakedo, gb2/u/
Score!
Didn't you learn already? It's...
"Erica, gb2/b/"
which is why I told him to gb2/u/
They appreciate that over there...
So it is Erica after all.
So, it is Erica after all.
Yeah! New series! I'm so happy! I think it was good move in StrikerS to made Nanoha older (because she was more sexy and all ^^" ) and it's also more interesting. 25 years old is also good but i hope they don't plan to make here even older. O_o Or at least do it like in DBZ -> Nanoha and little Nanoha. :3 Next Generation I mean. xP
Well im quite happy that Nanohe will be 25 years old because now she will be even more womenlike. It's really interesting to see magical girl (not anymore) as grown, sexy women. :3 Don't ya think so? ^^"
Fighto Nanoha!
rofl
I just pictured Nanoha as 65 years old thanks to you.
Why 65 years old?? O_o
I'm really happy that Nanoha is now big and all. I just don't understand that loli things. Whats so great about it? Don't you think that Nanoha looks better when she is a little more matured? 19 was the best for me. xP
He mentioned 65 years old, because if you add up all the years that passed on DB/DBZ/DBGT, both Son Goku and Vegeta are over 60 years old. Now, if Nanoha was able to power level to the point that she doesn't get old, like both of them, that would be sweet.
cover pic is so delicious... needs moar fate.......
and first movie needs to be NAO
Think of it this way, They're just trying avoid Agnes Chan's discriminative eyes
Oh c'mon. Nanoha herself may not be loli now, but is anybody convinced that the series won't throw out a whole new crop of lolis for us anyhow? >_>
this would lose 50% of the series's appeal if it removed the loli...
wtf? no! no!
Nanoha!!!! Why ohh WHY?!
At least put it back on animated 2d!!
don't go comic!!!!
25 eh? She should be in a relationship by now. Either case, being her fan It would be sad but hey, grown up Nanoha isnt bad at all. Come to think of it, if Nanoha is 25, then... Caro and Vivio is... ooooo come one, at least there's still some lolis around. Who knows? Perhaps Chrono would have a child by now... ^^
I think the StrikerS manga mentions Chrono having twins...
I forgot about Caro...But I see her getting dropped, considering the epilogue of StrikerS. Plus there was the spin-off CD drama. I haven't heard it myself, nor seen a trans for it, but I imagine the Strikers would be featured in their own series if needed, rather than re-appearing in a core Nanoha series again...at least as mains. I can se cameos or supporting roles though.
I for one welcome our 25 year old overlord.
a comic? No longer Anime?
Okay, let's hope they go back to Nanoha, Fate, and the rest kicking ass all the time instead of the constant training and over-casting they did in season 3.
At this rate, they'll have to change the name to "Mahou Obaasan Lyrical Nanoha" by the time the 6th / 7th season plays...
Older nanoha is fine by me...
I just hope they lose the sidetail for her when she's not in a Barrier Jacket.
I'm also hoping Vivio plays a significant role...MSLN has a history of dumping/demoting older chars.
And for the loli-lovers, you still have Vivio (Nanoha at 25 would put Vivio at like 11?), Vita (she never ages), and Reinforce Zwei.
When's the movie due out...? Fall '09 still?
Nanoha - the most moe loli on earth
25 years old fate testarossa?
just 1 year older than me :D
fate-neesama~~~ <3
i hope this news is true :3
what's wrong with a 25 year old nanoha :P.
she's not loli anymore...
Making our favourite lolis even older must be part of UNICEF's evil masterplan to turn us proud otakus into.. *gulp* ...normal people. @_@
It seems like I've already been corrupted by them because I still love the Nanoha girls in their adult versions.
Miruku-chan is hard at work for us ^__^
The Naruto, Dragon Ball growing children versions of Gouko and Naruto. lol
We have saw Japan otakus rose up in protests against non-virgins.
Now will we have the same people protesting against women who have grown up and getting older this time?
Shina Dark's artist is the one who draw this Senki... at least you dont need to worry about BI and FANSERVICES. bt now im curious about ViVid...
anyway, who's that on the bottom right corner? 25-year old Virgin(?) Nanoha? seems younger for me (hurray for MILF!)
do not worry about the fanservices, eh? since the artist is the one who did Shina Dark. now i'm getting impatient for this! (lucky me it'll released after my last exam.)
Umm, so is 25 an old woman? Does that make me old? not even a quarter through my lifespan, and Im already old.
I think it would be refreshing to watch an anime, where the fate of the world is not in the hands of a prepubesent 13 year old. Or a 6 year old, thats more intelegant and compatant and responcible then most adults I know.
do not want.
"old women"
oh u gaiz~
i lol'd
Anyway would love to see the 4th series.They are quite sexy growing up and all.
Want to see fate chan must be pure hawtness and a grown up vita must be unlimited hawtness XD,becouse i think vita chan would look the best from all.
sorry to rain on ur parade but Vita wont be aging, unless the writers pull a huge 360 on the programs that run "The Tome of the Night Sky" and make all of the "Wolkenritters" age.
vita is a Nanoha iconic Tsundere loli!
Vita FTW!
Please, I absolutely disliked StrikerS. More Loli Nanoha and Fate please.
Just axe all the useless extra characters and focus the story around Nanoha and Fate.
It felt like they died and were replaced when StrikerS aired after A's.
I concur.
should have made a series when they were in middle or high school. Don't they know their target demographic? The jump in age from A's to StrikersS was like the worst thing they could have done. While it won't be so bad if they only focus on nanoha and fate in this new series; based off the name of the series, I don't this will be the case.
Oh joy from sailor moon to Ikktousen...
oh fantastic!
Nanoha is now 25.
She's growing up beside me.
That's EPIC!
I actually kinda love this.
I mean, it's so logical. The natural thing to be.
But I'll be looking forward to Vivio too.
As she's supposed to be in the blooming age.
If you want real trolling, just announce that Yuuno will be the star and spotlight focus of Season 4. Heads will explode as if hit by a Kenshiro finisher.
Lets Shoot It.... Starlight Breaker.
I'll make all the obasans feel young again.
when will this be shown! i love signum!!!
Why is everybody so fixated in seeing little girls that behave like elementary school kids?
Why nobody likes badass older people?
You pedos.
"Predictably, a contingent of fans is complaining that they don’t want any old women in their anime."
Bullshit! Nanoha isn't old ya retards. She's damn sexy ^_^ ya'll just blind
