Lyrical Nanoha 4th Series: Mahou Shoujo No More

fate-oshiri-yokochichi.jpg

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…

    >Rumasana has spoken.

    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.

    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 ^^

    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.

    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.

    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
