Many thanks to yesy for finally getting these out.
It looks like the main plot of the show is finally underway. Unsurprisingly, it is quite similar to the first two series: the bad guys are trying to collect stuff to use for presumably evil purposes, while the good guys run around trying to stop them.
There are a few new dimensions to the storyline included in order to keep things fresh, of course. Obviously, the forwards are still around, and their growth is still a primary focus of the series (albeit the show seems to slowly be moving towards more focus on Nanoha, Fate, and Hayate). The series also continues to hint at a coming bureaucratic struggle within the TSAB itself concerning the protagonists’ unit. Up to this point, the show has never really given the viewer much of an idea about the exact reach and scope of the TSAB, so hopefully we’ll find out more about that in the coming weeks.
One of the most fascinating facets of this group of episodes is the reversal of the usual “cat and mouse” role. The vast majority of the time in fiction, whenever there is a cat and mouse situation, the protagonists are generally the mouse, doing their best to avoid direct confrontation with their overwhelmingly powerful enemy and instead subtly breaking the enemy down, sneaking in to execute surgical strikes, or finding a way to equalize the power disparity. The opposite is true in StrikerS; the people after the cases rely quite heavily on sneaking around and narrow escapes, proving quite ineffective against Nanoha, Fate, and the other Section Six officers in combat. I’m glad the writers went about providing a challenge for the cast this way, instead of simply providing a more powerful enemy and starting a “power creep” cycle a la DBZ, Naruto, and their awful ilk.
It was probably a little took long in coming for my tastes, but this series has finally picked up the pace. I approve.

Excellent observation. Now that you mention it, it’s definitely a far cry from the all-out direct conflict of the first two seasons. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time I was watching 11-12, it’s great to have the action back again. Not like I wasn’t predicting that though.
