I think my main problem with Vivid is the lack of stakes. It needs a Precia, or a Jail; or a rogue Defensive Program to actually put the protagonists in danger.

Vivid is more a sports series than a magical Military SF; which makes it feel divorced from the things we liked about Nanoha.

Also, it should absolutely slow down and flesh out team Takamachi. Before introducing hundreds more characters.

And that boy grows up to be Yuri Danshi

...gonna be honest, this one felt kinda rushed.

Also, with a name like Tsunderella, I was expecting a twist. Like... the stepsister's were actually just tsundere for her or something.

certainly an interesting twist on the "Shoulder angel/devil" concept.

This is why you don't get in the way of Hana's ships.

So I guess they're... caught in a time loop? And the one girl keeps going in the ocean; and getting swept off the edge?

...the talking mushroom just reminded me of a certain fancomic.

Welp, that ship didn't take long to sail.
