Why are these recap movies so popular in Japan?

Cause they make a lot of money.

I hope they make a movie for A's. It's my favorite out of the three series. Fate is so cool Cool

I think the only correct response to this news is "DO WANT."

So excuse me while I say...

DO WANT.

(Anything that means more proper-loli-Nanoha instead of silly-grown-up-Nanoha is good news in my book.)

Finally, a non-camrip version. Still barely any new footage, and what is there isn't too encouraging to be honest. The shot of Fate flying past the building, for instance, looks more like something from a TV series than you'd expect from a movie with a comparatively higher budget (maybe the footage midway through was in a rougher state than the shot at the end, which looked significantly better). Coupled with the somewhat arbitrary VA change for Bardiche...

I rather liked the older cast of StrikerS, though that was tempered somewhat by the dodgy pacing.

One of my favorite series...

I hope they release StrikerS here in the US one day - that would be nice.

I thought I saw something about another season/series being made too...

Ah, I wish I could see this movie in the theaters...

Hmm. I guess the Japanese really love their movies, regardless of content. IMO, the second season (A's) was much better.

I'm waiting for Strikers. But it appears I'm going to be waiting a very, very long time.

Agreed, but what they can do with this movie is get rid of the generic magical girl plot stuff from early on before they really worked out what to do with the series and distill it down to very pure awesome.

And then hopefully do that with StrikerS too.

Cruelly, I couldn't get the site to load this morning at home and I can't stream at work, so I still haven't seen the trailer. The stills on the site look cool, though. Smile

I agree with Sakagami Tomoyo. I hope they trim out all the unnecessary excess and focus on the better parts of the plot. Smile I also hope they trim the squicky bits of the transformation sequences. Confused

Easily my most anticipated anime of 2009. The fight scenes are going to be absolutely glorious.

Personally, I'd like to see something totally new but a retelling can be a good thing. Still, I wish they'd do animation to go with the sound episodes or the manga stories. I like it when series has all of it's canon material in the animated format.

Movie site was available at least a couple weeks ago....and I don't see any promotion video.....though I did see one on youtube back in the winter Tokyo Anime Fair.

I really don't like Nanoha's face design in the movie still, but Fate is more awesome, especially with the movie supposedly focusing on her more ^___^

Because the first season didn't focus on Fate nearly enough Rolling Eyes

Also, love love LOVE Nanoha's redesigned barrier jacket <3
