Well, about the Limiters, I did make some comments about it. ^^;

Mandy, I’d read things your way too except that the repeated declarations (in the Megami radio drama and Ep 2 from Fate and Nanoha that they are ‘friends’ rather than ‘lovers’. Still, I’m not expecting the ambiguity to be definitively resolved in favour of yuri but I’d hate to see that ambiguity eroded further in favour of the ‘just good friends’ direction.

Just saw the subs and the whole nerfing thing is much clearer now. I was wondering how Nanoha, Fate, Hayate are going to level up even further without becoming ridiculously overpowered a la the Dragonball franchise. Using inter-unit/service rivalries and politics to knock them down several ranks leaves room for their limiters to be gradually released as the enemies increase in difficulty without having the need for them to acquire really new abilities or upgrades. Seems that the script writers have thought this particular aspect well ahead and hopefully this will bode well for the series as a whole.

I think I’m different from many people in that I don’t see Nanoha losing her interest in Fate or their relationship being diminished or anything of that sort. While I would also love to see more NxF rabu rabu scenes, I think the few ones we’ve had have cemented the steadiness in their relationship. And it shows how they’ve grown, too. They’re able to be professional at what they do and give each other free reign to do what they love. And when they’re together, there’s a comfortable, loving air about them that I really enjoy. I think it says a lot more than make out scenes ever could.

But I’m just a romantic at heart, so I could just be seeing through NanohaxFate happy tinted glasses. XD
