btw, I'm currently watching Code Geass. I've seen 2 so far..
I can't really judge it if it will be a good anime yet, but the mech action is pretty nice.
Would you like to watch it? Well, I know you're pretty busy,... but if you can sneak a few minutes to watch at least one anime this season, I guess this would be it. xD!

Its just too bad I couldn't find A's OST.., for there are some new musics that are diferent from Season 1's; specialy some of the Singles like we saw during the final battle & when Hayate regained control of the Tome of the Night Sky.
ah.. not to mencione the song I so love in episode 12 of Season 1... I couldn't find it either :/

Hmm, I don't have the A's ost either. :/
But the song your looking for, (the one in season one ep.12), it's here:
http://gendou.com/amusic/?filter=nanoha&match=0

It's called ' Take a Shot'

Also, I was going over the scans I got in the torrent you sent, and I saw one where Linith was without her hat, and.. she had hears ^^.
This means she is a familiar, probably created by Precia herself; I had no idea :)

I checked that out, it looks like you're right. I never even noticed that on my first glance-through. XD!

btw, have you listened to some of the Drama cd's?
Some of them are really nice, and tells more background about Fate.
(Well, I can't really understand 100% of it, but you could understand a little just by listening)

Well, some of them really... really gets to you. I really can't help feeling a little teary eyed just listening to it. ^^

Well, I already have the DVD version of episode 1 of A's

Although, it's in mkv format, so it takes up more space.

Yeah, I took the screencaps you suggested, and saved them for future use.

..but for the wall, it looks like you're going to have to wait a little longer. :p
Sorry, I never really expected that it would take me this long.

Oh, it seems you don't visit A.Suki as often.. There are still some really nice posts in Nanoha and Rozen section. X)

Ah... sorry sorry for beeing late again Solwy ^^

Don't worry about it. I guess you could say I'm getting used to it. XD!

However, you can always use one of them as a possible Faded background picture ; more or less like the main beeing Reinforce in her "normal" state, and a faded background of her in "Book of Darkness".

Thanks for the timeframes, I've gathered a few of my own as well. Unfortunately, 'faded background' walls don't usually turn out as very good walls, but if you're alright with that, then it doesn't really matter. =)

I'm actually planning on re-d/l the dvd versions of certain episodes, (especially episode 7's battle w/ Fate&Signum) once they come out. Maybe as you've seen in the link I gave you below, that there have been some really good changes in animation.

Ah, yes, the wallpapers, a bit of bad news for the first one. I tried as much as I could to make it look good but my idea just doesn't seem to work. >_<; I've put it on hold until I can find a way to better the background.
So I've started on a new one - the second Fate wall.
And currently, I'm having internet problems too, so I have difficulty searching for any tutorials that might help me better the wall.

..aaanndd.. we have a convert! XD!

Dvd quality. ;_;

Nice userpage ms. ayanami-rei...

There's a torrent for ALL the scans. >_<;;

http://www.tokyotosho.com/details.php?id=42567

It just came out, so grab it quick.

Aww, man... so many interruptions. T_T
Ah, well, there's always next time.

Ah, sorry for late reply, I didn't have the time to reply yesterday. ..only to check in..
And don't worry about the long posts, I love reading it. ^.^

The perfect example for this is after we had seen Fate's dream, in the last episode she we then saw her calling Lindy "mother", a moment that after I saw it I had felt totaly compleat in relation towards how I saw her development unfold.

yeah, I noticed that too. It seems Fate has grown accustomed to finally calling Lindy her Mother. That was a really great scene portraying Fate's development, after her tragic dilemma.
I actually watched the Fate's dream scene again, and really couldn't bear it. Just seeing Fates saddened expressions, it appears that the dream was just too good to be true, it was overwhelming -that Fate just gave in and started crying.

Now that we've both finished A's, we can now really look forward to the third season as well as Rozen's Ouverture.

Now having been some weeks after.., I guess I am finaly ready to make a review ^^, and I hope I was of some help to you aswell Solwy :)

You were a big help! in making me enjoy this series as much as I did. And you even convinced me to watch it again, even though I dropped it before. It's never too late for a review. The Mahou Shoujo section still seems to be as popular as the Rozen one. So I'm sure there will always be readers.

Ready to post those scans on Shuu? xD!
I'll be online for the next three hours. If you ever log on, till then, go ahead and post the scans and I'll follow through.

And this wallpaper is giving me such a hard time. Even though I have the general idea for it, it's really hard to make it. I guess it's also because of the scan. It's not exactly easy to make it fit in a nice background. >_<;;
Maybe I should start on a new one first.. but that means more delay. ;_;
Send those screencaps anytime. I'm actually also searching for one of Reinforce to make as my avatar..

Hah~
I've finally seen it. And you're right It was perfect.
All questions were answered, I could not have hoped for a better ending.
...even Reinforce had to sacrifice herself. She was the most unfortunate till the very end. ..which makes me even like her so much more.
Even shocking, was how they showed their lives after 6 years. It was very hard to believe the events, but,.. they really gave a satisfying ending. (I found Yuuno to have the most shocking appearance. A Cool Librarian! xD!)
I went back on Shuu to read your posts again:

And so it ends...
Just moments ago I finished watching Nanoha A's.., and.. at the moment I realy can't put into words my feelings towards this beyond amazing story brought to me by these 26 episodes..
So.., I went through a bit of trouble to get all of these scans and share with you all, beeing this a way for me to show realy how much this Anime now means to me..
To put it in simple words..., Season 1 was something compleatly unexpected, Season 2 was all I had hoped for.. and more..

I really had a hard time understanding this, when you said, 'I can't put into words'. ..but now I know.
Even I have trouble describing how great the ending was. Season 2 was indeed, 'all that i had hoped for.'

Everyone.., if you haven't watched this Anime.., please do so.., I am positive you will not regret it.
In fact.. may a Starlight Breaker strike me down if I am wrong :)

May a Starlight Breaker strike me down for not watching this anime sooner! T_T)

(however you'll still end up beeing stunned for a few days because of the impact ^^)

Haha, yeah, I still can't get the ending out of my head.
I'm already working on the wallpapers as fast as I can.

Now.. StrikerS season 3.. in a few months... awwww.. I can't wait !! :P

I really thought there was a season 3 because of unanswered questions, or season 2 wasn't enough(like Rozen, since we're still waiting for a 3rd season ▼_▼). ..but Nanoha seems to be different, Season 2 was completely satisfying, yet they've made room for season 3. I can't wait to see 3rd season too. >_<;;

Ah, Finally, #12 and #13 just finished downloading.
..but, I don't want to watch it yet. I don't want this anime to end on me, ..but somehow I am compelled to watch it. >_<;
Maybe in a few hours I'll finally know the end. ..

Which ones have you already gotten ?, Maybe we could get life half each and then share them on Shuu, this way we could save up a few credits :)

Let's see, the only ones I got from here are these four:
http://www.animepaper.net/gallery/scans/Magical-Girl-Lyrical-Nanoha/item95123/

http://www.animepaper.net/gallery/scans/Magical-Girl-Lyrical-Nanoha/item94997/

It seems there are a few that have appeared on Minitokyo, we could get a few from there to save a few papers.
http://browse.minitokyo.net/gallery/?aid=740
...oor~..., we could nicely ask the uploaders of the scans for them. XD!

Aand~ a very big *sigh* for me. You've seen the image I've been working on right? Now that I've gotten half-way through, a bigger version shows up. Looks like I'm going to have to start over again. =_=;;
Darn, this draws me back a few hours of work... But I have a nice idea for that scan.. :/

oh and.. didn't I say you would end up making arround 3 Mahou Shoujo wallpapers ? How many are you starting already ? :P
2 Fate, 1 Reinforce ? ^^, and well..., I'm pretty sure you won't stop here :D

Yeah, that's the plan, 2 Fate and one Reinforce.
The first one(the one I'm currently working on) will be of Fate and the way she is depicted in season one.
The second Fate, hmmm... I'm not sure yet what to base it on. (Maybe it won't be a solo Fate wall)
and I think I'll use one of the images you suggested.
And lastly Reinforce. This will be REALLY hard, since there are virtually no scans of her good enough for a wallpaper. it looks like I'm going to have to base everything from screencaps. Just like the Anju one.

>>What did you think of Reinforce by the way ?

She has left me speechless. Her beauty and sadness rivals even that of Suigintou.
Her silver hair, her black wings, the cloak she wears, the ribbons that bind her, the marks on her skin, her deep red sad and glaring eyes. The perfect combination to depict who she really is.
Even her other appearance, (where it looks like she's wearing combat clothes), is really appealing.
I've am left moonstruck everytime I see Reinforce...

..but of course, this does not mean I like at Fate in a different way.. Even Fate, is really a character I hold dear.
There's just something about her, I don't understand, but she's just as perfect as she is.
-
So far in anime, I've seen three characters with an appearance like this.

• Valkyrie Ghost
• Suigintou
• Reinforce

Characters that I really loved from the moment I saw them.
