Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha 6

  
  
  

Nanoha's still worried about things and still keeps it a secret from Arisa and Suzuka. Arisa has had enough of it and she lets Nanoha know then runs off.. Suzuka and Arisa talk a bit about they became friends with Nanoha. It all started with Nanoha fighting with Arisa one day, then Suzuka stepping in to stop it. Arisa used to pick on people all the time and Suzuka used to be quiet and keep to herself, not talking to anyone. But after they met Nanoha and became friends with each other they were able to change bit by bit. Arisa's really frustrated that she can't help Nanoha at all..

Fate isn't in too good a mood either. Arf is worried about her since she won't eat at all. But they've got to go search for the Jewel Seeds now, so that Fate won't keep her mother waiting...

Nanoha worries about things by herself on the way home. She and Yuno go to search for Jewel Seeds again in the city. Suddenly, she and Yuno both sense magic and look up to see Fate and Arf. The Jewel Seed's been activated and Fate and Nanoha try to seal it at the same time.. they fight a bit. But Nanoha wants to try and understand Fate a bit, so tells Fate a bit about herself. Fate is about to answer, but Arf interrupts and Fate goes after the Jewel Seed with Nanoha following. Their magic sticks clash at the seed and there's an explosion...

And we're left hanging until next week. Friendship is usually a major theme of mahou shoujo so it's not surprising to see it in Nanoha. I really liked that part of the episode; it was done really well. We still don't know that much about why Fate's gathering the seeds, except that it has something to do with her mother. Perhaps she'll open up a bit later on. Should mention that the animation was back to normal this time, thank goodness :)

Next time another 魔法使い mahou tsukai is going to show up.. Looks pretty evil to me.
