   Well, been a while since I posted here, as I've been busy with other
   projects. But I just finished watching Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
   A's, and I had to comment on it.

   The thing that really impressed me about As is the way they were able
   to tell a story involving conflict to the point of battle without
   having any truly evil characters in it. While there were many sides,
   and the sides came into conflict with each other, every side thought
   they were doing the right thing... perhaps some of them thought that
   they were serving a higher good, and some lost control of their
   powers, but everyone was trying to achive a result they considered
   good.

   To me, not having an out-and-out villian in the show, yet still being
   able to tell a good battle story, is a sign of writers that know their
   stuff. And while I won't be able to proclaim A's great until I rewatch
   it, it really is a very good story that is worth taking the time to
   watch. (But do watch the original series first, also a fairly good
   series._
