Something Old

Triangle Hearts ~Sweet Song Forever~

April 2007 season, there is a new anime called Maho Shojo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS. It is a sequel of a sequel of a spin-off of an OVA. I liked the art work enough to want to try to watch it. But I fear that without watching all the previous series, I may get lost. So, I went ahead tracking down all the previous series including the OVA. They are ordered like this:

Triangle Hearts ~Sweet Song Forever~
|
| Spin-off
|
Maho Shojo Lyrical Nanoha
|
| Sequel
|
Maho Shojo Lyrical Nanoha A's
|
| Sequel
|
Maho Shojo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS

So, I started from the top, which is Triangle Heart ~ Sweet Song Forever ~, and going downward.

First impression, like Maho Shojo series, I liked its art style, clean and soft. I've watched one and a half episodes by now. So far, it feels very.......Shojo. But I don't expect it to be too shojo for long. Also, the plot seem to be going a bit too slow. For an OVA that is only 4 episodes long, at this rate it can not achieve anything by the end of the show. So I expect it to speed up soon too. Most part of an episode is pretty serious plot, but occasionally, it throws in some comedy.

Since this is a completed series, I'll wait till I finish watching all of them before I put any rating out for it. Stay tuned.
