Blue Reflection is very magical girl but won't satisfy someone looking for intense JRPG battles or dungeon crawling.

Does it basically work as a kind of budget, magical-girl-themed Persona 4 knockoff? People keep mentioning the social bits but I have no idea how big a percentage of the game they make up compared to the JRPG bits.

Cutscene-story social bits are 60% of the game, 20% dungeoning/boss fights, 20% free time social-linking is my guess based off of 4 chapters.

That seems alright. Guess I'll grab it when it goes cheap on Steam. Thanks!

As a current-season rec, Urahara is fun, cute, and good, if not exactly ground-breaking so far.

StrikerS is good - the premise gets a little weird for a magical girl show, but tonally it doesn't at all feel out of place compared to the two previous series. Plus, it's nice seeing the characters being grown up, having jobs, and saving a child so they can adopt her and be her two gay mums.

Lyrical's animation looks kind of rear end but it's perfectly fine to watch if you don't mind the low budget (though the film covers 99% of the same plot beats with a much higher budget). The production quality for A's is much higher so you're fine just watching the series for that one, though it also has a recap film with a much higher animation budget if you want to check that out after watching the show. StrikerS never got a film.

There are also a couple of sports spinoffs: ViviD is magical girl MMA starring Nanoha and Fate's daughter, but ends abruptly halfway through a tournament arc with no resolution; and ViviD Strike is a sequel series with a completely different main cast that I couldn't give two shits about, so I dropped it halfway through.

Also, be aware that there shows add more and more bad bath scenes as they go on.

The scifi-ness of StrikerS is especially cool because it's all a completely normal extrapolation from the way we're told magic works five minutes into Lyrical.

I still find it amazing that Nanoha and Precure started airing the same year and both are getting movies that I really want to see this October

I stopped following the franchise after Strikers but before the Lyrical/A's films, what are they doing with the new films these days?

e; vv that sounds weird enough to be worth a watch, so I'll check it out. Thanks. :)

The film really just, does not beat around the bush about the relationship they end up in later, lol.

I hadn't realised the Nanoha films had this much budget.

(Warning: lots of flashing lights.)
