7 September 2008: Where is my Mahou Shoujo Fate Testarossa movie? Dang
You know, I really hope this upcoming Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha season one movie isn't just a glorified clip show. If they're going to make a movie re-telling the first season's story, what they ought to do is re-tell it from Fate Testarossa's point of view. They've got enough material to fill a 90-minute to two-hour block easily, and Fate's story is far more compelling than Nanoha and Yuuno's daily life.
This movie should also fill in some of the gaps the series glossed over. For example: I bet Fate doesn't know how to swim. There's no way her mom ever taught her. In fact, I have a feeling that Fate is entirely ignorant of many things most people take for granted because she never had a regular childhood. She's kind of like Kirika, only more so. Fate probably doesn't know how to ride a bicycle, and isn't familiar with fairy tales, never owned a box of crayons, and doesn't know how to braid hair. But man, can she take a beating.
