review Nanoha the movie 2nd

Hammer time!

It is about six months since Nanoha had her first adventure and finally she gets the chance to meet Fate again. Quickly enough a new threat appears in the form of four warriors hunting the magic of other mages. Their motives are unknown at first but they connect to their relationship with a young paraplegic girl named Hayate.

The Nanoha 2nd movie is the movie adaptation of Nanoha A's. As you can't break a thirteen episode series down to less than half it's length without some cuts the movie can feel slightly disjointed at times, even more so if you haven't seen either the first movie or the original Nanoha series.

However what this movie wants to deliver to the audience is high intensity battles with lots of energy beams, explosions and little girls and it does it very well. There is also a decent amount of character development in the movie, particularly the antagonists, who have one of the more memorable motive deconstructions in anime. However this is sandwiched in between the four extended fight sequences in the movie.

Overall Nanoha the movie 2nd is a nice action packed magical girl movie that has a bunch of bright imagery and good characters.

Rating the bronze
