ViVid Strike!

When I came across Vivid Strike I was unware of the many back animations that provide backstory so I had to stop and watch those in order to understand the characters a bit better. However, if you're looking to enjoy a simply ladies martial arts story there is still much to enjoy from this. The story was well displayed dispite the backstory for a lot of supporting items but the main plot came across cleanly. The charcters grew and the intensity in emotions came across strong in the animation. It was enjoyable and engaging enough to keep my interest but not enough to warrent a second watch and I swept through the prequels pretty quickly as well. My current issue and reason for the low score is the fact that the main story arc ended neatly and there were hints of a continuation which I personally feel ruin the story feel, unless they go for a completely different character look. All in all, fun to watch if your bored but I wouldn't go out of your way for it.

Even though it's a spin-off I still enjoyed it it really can't compare to nanoha or vivio story but if you don't compare it to its previous work is very enjoyable
