Their reunion is not a happy one, unfortunately, as several people who call themselves "Velka-Type Knights" battle Nanoha above the city. Their objective is to fill the pages of the Book of Darkness by stealing the magical power of anyone they can find. Nanoha and Fate must once again team up to stop their plans and save the world."
My Ranking: 3 1/2
My Rating: PG
considering the greater amount of boom in this series its rated higher than its predecessor because there is more blood. also there is still some partial nudity. but again this series is not all that bad.
My Review: Just as the first series felt like a first installment this sequel is able to kick into a whole other adventure. Its like they split a 26 episode series into two; the first 13 being the set up, and the last 13, occurring 6 months later, is when things really start happening.
The first had strong points, but A's brings the saga up a notch. The title of the first episode says it all 'a very sudden beginning'. haha, very funny. Being only 13 eps causes some people to see the two anime as rushed in their plot line, I actually like this because then it doesn't leave time for filler conversations. This being said, it makes sense that A's doesnt waste any time and brings an explosive battle the very first episode. And isn't that the best part of this series?
There is a complete upgrade in the action of the series as well. Combining technology with the magical girl stereotype opens up so many doors and possibilities not only for the battles but for the plot as well. The Characters are no longer newbies and so we see a lot more strategy and this makes the visual even more incredible. You gotta give the animators props on this one. They did an awesome job. cause here comes the boom. -_-'
The story is actually really good. I've mentioned in my
earlier reviews how I'm one who can have a plot figured out rather quickly. That makes me all the more impressed that a series like A's actually surprised me. I think its because Nanoha and A's stray from the norm a little. Its a short, mahou shoujo with plot qualitites of a bigger action series. Thats how more than once I was quite shocked by what was actually happening. A series is all the more enjoyable when it gives you the unexpected.
In conclusion, A's is an awesome sequel. With qualities bigger than itself, it brings a lot more to the table than the viewer would suspect; and that's what makes this series incredible.
Comparison: same as its predecesor. this series was subbed by Usotsuki and E-D. Licensed by Funimation.
Sample Vid: this amv along with the one for the next sequal are what got me into the saga in the first place. yeah it has spoilers but its one where it doesn't really hinder your watching of the series. Awesome amv!
