Vivid strike download series#

ViVid Strike! is really in a truly unique place when it comes to calling it good or bad. The thing you have to understand is, I don't care 8/10 I know I know I probably sound like some sort of psychopath who loves child violence, and you're probably right, I enjoyed that way too much. I know all too well the feeling of powerlessness that can come from that situation, and I totally understand why Rinne became the way she did in order to make sure it never happened again. I disagree, if your being pushed around and you have the power to stand up for yourself I say do it. The crux of the rest of the story is that she feels deep regret for the way she responded to that incident and hates herself, feeling that her grandfather would have been ashamed. She was absolutely in the right, and frankly those girls got off easy. Let me be clear, I enjoy bullying subplots only if they end with the aggressor getting their comeuppance, and oh boy that moment where she breaks the girls arm and bashes the other against the locker is so cathartic I could watch it on repeat for hours. The raw, visceral emotions forced upon the victim are always compelling, and the moment of karmic justice is always oh so satisfying. I was bullied in middle school, so I love a good bullying story in anime. But here they make you care about the main two girls using the oldest emotional manipulation trick in the book, tragic anime backstory.

There wasn't really any conflict in her own outing as the protagonist and the stakes became lower than ever when they turned a magical girl anime into a sports anime. She never really faced any hardship and is instantly loved by pretty much everyone. I didn't expect much, but by the fifth episode I was somehow more invested in these characters than I ever had been in Vivio. I was so checked out from how stupidly frequent the soft reboots in this franchise are by this point I just decided to go along with it. magicians? Athletes now? Okay I guess they're strictly martial artists now and even magic has been pushed to the background. Vivio and the other heterochromia girl were boring, so they are rightfully pushed into the background to make way for

Luckily it manages to skirt around all that by doing something completely unexpected: they remembered to give the audience a reason to care about the characters.

I was determined to not like this series going into it because of how boring the show it's a spin-off of was. It was confusing, had too many characters, had no real stakes compared to previous series in the franchise, and didn't have an ending. I did not have a good time with Nanoha ViVid. Despite Fuuka's inexperience, Einhald and the other members of the gym have faith in her talent and efforts. Nonetheless, Fuuka soon accepts Einhald's offer and begins training under her-not only out of necessity but also out of the desire to defeat Rinne and make her realize how hurtful her behavior has become. She was once childhood friends with the now prominent martial arts athlete Rinne Berlinetta, but the personality of her fellow orphan shifted from kind and gentle to cold and cruel after being adopted by a prosperous family and starting martial arts. Despite the kind gesture, Fuuka initially declines the proposal due to the bad memories it brings. Seeing potential in Fuuka's skills, Einhald encourages the girl to become a martial arts athlete and offers her a job at Nakajima Gym, where Einhald trains. One day, she gets into an altercation with gangsters that leaves her with injuries luckily, martial arts champion Einhald Stratos finds Fuuka and brings her to a hospital. The aggressive Fuuka Reventon often finds herself in fights as she struggles to make a living.
