StrikerS Nano! SS01 2-4

A few rough translation notes on ashita wa docchida?’s StrikerS Nano! parodies of the first Sound Stage. AFAIK while scanlation of the main body (001-182) covering the TV series has been completed, I’ve only seen a translated version (thread) of the first comic (original) of the first Sound Stage thus far.

Hope I’m not reinventing the wheel (and doing so rather badly in the process); corrections will be greatly appreciated.

Efferversence of fandom: Kyonko and MSLNFPFR

Hinano’s announcement that she has jumped on the Kyonko bandwagon was the nudge for a few thoughts, that have been fermenting away at the bottom of my mind’s barrel, to bubble to the surface. A couple of quick comments on the Kyonko phenomenon and Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS parodies of Nanoha’s ‘Full Power Full Release!’ (全力全開) catch phrase.

After Myssa Rei’s comment, I have been searching my feelings about the whole Kyonko thing. There were two things about it which did not particularly endear themselves to me. First, the girls get turned into guys. Yuki becomes Yuuki. orz orz orz orz

How much is that MEGAMI in the window?

I’ve moaned before about how London’s Forbidden Planet and Japan Centre doesn’t seem to stock MEGAMI. But I happened to see that evil magazine in the display window of Orbital Comic’s Moor Street branch. And the price was just shinjirarenai.

The onomatopoeia for bust check is ‘momi’

Well, you really learn (all the wrong sorts of) new things everyday. I hadn’t paid much attention to the non-dialogue parts of the StrikerS Nano! parodies, which have moved on to the Sound Stages, but I couldn’t help but notice that there’s a repeated use of ‘momi’ when Hayate checked Suzuka’s bust; then those of the female Long Arch staff and, of course, she still likes Signum-neesan’s assets best. LOL [Add: Actually 'momi' is a verb - see Orion's comment]

Hayate’s perviness friendliness is actually canonical, if you consider the Sound Stages to be canonical (which I do), and she specifically gripes about how she has had no time to seku hara (short for ’sexually harass’) the newbies in StrikerS Sound Stage 01. The above image is also official art, rather than fanart, and can be found IIRC the A’s Sound Stage where everyone goes to the public bath house and also in the MEGAMI visual collection artbook.

Girl-on-girl bust-checking has now, as far as Totali and this zaku (this links to a post where I’ve linked the Chanomi parodies about Hayate) are concerned, become *the* official Yagami Hayate no waza. LOL

So far, I’ve only found one corroborating link which defines ‘momi’ as the sound for ‘groping’ while the rest are either blissfully unaware or have swept this one under the carpet. I can’t even being to understand why such an important word has been left out. LOL

A question, that has come to mind, is: Would a facial bust check still be denoted by momi? :P

P.S. While I’m on one of my favourite subjects, i.e. Nanoha parodies, I’d just like to make a belated note of Tamagoya’s Christmas cartoons of Santa Rein and the Wolkenritter / Yagami-gumi’s present for Hayate - I really love how they can portray the Nanoha cast with such feelings of tender sweetness.

Evil I tells you or Oops Megami does it again

I saw the above poster via Kurogane and one of my sensei-level commenters, Shinzantetsu, also kindly put a link to a much higher resolution scan. *wipes nosebleed* I struggled mightily with temptation and, with the added whammy of the Kagamin x Konata wedding picture, dealt with it in the best way, that is, to give in completely; have asked Stripey to procure a copy of Megami 93 for me (to save on the arm and a leg shipping costs from Japan to the UK).

And to think I had actually been entertaining the notion that Comp H had knocked Megami off its pedestal WRT my spending priorities but it looks like the goddesses in its pages have still got it: Evils I tell you.
