Three sea­sons and six manga series later, this still remains by far my favorite moment~

I’ve ram­bled much on why the movie was so much bet­ter than the orig­i­nal series, which was ground­break­ing in the mahou shoujo genre to begin with. The brand new scenes the movie intro­duced were ter­rific, but noth­ing beats the new, crisp, high-production ver­sion of their beau­ti­ful part­ing scene~

On one side you have Nanoha, who had always felt lonely and left out; the third wheel of her group of friends, the girl who always felt there was some­thing yet unknown wait­ing for her in life—

On the other side stood Fate, who had never expe­ri­enced friend­ship or love for her­self, who had suf­fered through a child­hood of abuse in hopes of reach­ing for a shat­tered dream—

On one fate­ful day, they met~

Over one com­mon goal, they fought~

For one kin­dred wish, they joined~

In one gen­tle moment, they embraced~

And their red strings of fate were for­ever inter­twined, des­tined to be best friends for eternity~

And much, much more~

So beau­ti­ful, so sweet~ I love this series, and I love this couple~

.

…now if only I can see Fate pro­pose, in canon~
