Nanoha StrikerS episode 2.
Spoiler :
- First half dealt with more flashbacks of the airport fire incident with Fate saving Subaru's sister Ginga. Hayate then took out the fire with a widespread ice spell.

- OMG, Nanoha, Fate, and Hayate on the same bed?!!!! Woot for slumber parties with.....hehehe....

- In the second half, Subaru and Tiana failed the test despite the flashy moves they pulled. Of course Nanoha is giving them a second chance.

- Elio and Caro are introduced with.....um.....an unexpected greeting.

- Meanwhile Vita, Zafira, and Shamal were fighting off robotic drones. The episode ended with Subaru and Tiana heading off towards where those three are.

Episode 3
Spoiler :
consisted of more training exercises with Elio and Carol included with Subaru and Tia. They pretty much have to destroy special type magical tech. drones which proved to be very formidable. The episode also introduced the reason why Hayate was so insistent in creating her own division and that's to find Relic.
Episode 4,
Spoiler :
the 4 peeps now has to battle against Nanoha and obviously Nanoha is no push over! :twisted:

(though you can almost tell that Nanoha is holding back)

The trainees also got new devices but in order to keep some status quo from the higher ups everyone (including Nanoha and the others) limiters are placed on their devices. They can be unlocked only by permission from the higher ups.

And judging from the conversation, it seems like Hayate is the most powerful mage without the limiter.
Next episode, the trainees finally have a real mission to take!

Episode 5....oh that was badass! 8-)

We got ourselves SIX transformation sequences; 2 from Nanoha and Fate who were fighting off the aerial drones and 4 from the trainees who were fighting the drones inside the train. There's been word that Subaru's transformation sequence may resemble of the Final Fusion from GaoGaiGar; of course a bunch of peeps say that she maybe a closet giant robot fan (just look at the style of attacks she does). There area couple tidbits that were also introduced as well.
Spoiler :
- Seems like Carol was banished from her home village because she was suspected of being too powerful and uncontrollable for being a Dragon Summoner. Of course Fate didn't mind admitting her into military when she tried to join in.

- And speaking of being a Dragon Summoner, her pet dragon can grow REALLY big when she needs him to be. She had to do it because the drone she and Elio faced used an AMF which nullified all of their magic in a long range. Elio was the only one capable of fighting off physically, but he got pwned quickly and got thrown off the train. Carol then jumped off to save him which brought her away from the AMF's range, and that's when made her dragon big.

With the awesomeness of Carol's boost spells and Elio's close combat abilities, they're able to destroy the drone.

- There's someone mysterious person working in the background. He did mention that Fate and Elio were remnants of Project F. So what is Project F? :roll:
Next episode is back to training, and it looks like the trainees are going to fight their superiors (the battle of Subaru vs. Vita is eminent). 8-)

The little girls transformation was so cute ;p

I like the cast of characters in this one, lets see how they develop.
I found it rather humerous that the boy is the only one the got jipped a strip scene in his transformation :lol:

I've been watching the raws to feed my addiction. :?

I just heard the licensing news a little bit ago; I can't wait for the DVDs to come out, hopefully with an awesome box. I'm also curious as to what extras we might get, since the R2 extras were rather sparse, even with only two or three episodes on a disk.
