I've already said my piece about Caro's clan's choice, so...
Well, except the last bit, anyway.
Oddly, given what sort of show MSLN has proven itself to be (and that it positively embraces that status), I get no gay love vibes from Subs and Tea. They strike me mostly as siblings.
...no, wait, Moldiver did that.
Anyway, since the meta rationale is probably fairly obvious, I'll only say that I think it's canon that the battle costumes aren't, in fact, intended to provide any sort of direct, physical protection, since that role is provided by a series of static barrier fields set up during the transformation. I'm guessing that the visible clothing serves as a sort of emitter for the real barriers, and that, as long as there's a certain minimum surface area, what it looks like or where it is on the body are really irrelevant to the system's effect.
I suspect that Fate and Nanoha talked each other into the zettai ryouki, for indecent personal reasons of their own. Subaru's outfit strikes me as an attempt at practical psychology - not being a naturally aggressive person that I've seen, she might find that dressing like a Tough Fighter Chick makes it easier to fulfil that role.
Ja, -n

Quote:Dude, they've always done that.
Okayyy... apparently, now that Fate and Nanoha aren't lolibait anymore, it's apprently been decided that they're fair game for naked twirly lightshow transformation sequences, complete with dissolving underwear and gainaxing.
Well, except the last bit, anyway.
Quote:Tea and Subaru are kinda a package deal, yesno? Plus Subaru strikes me as being everybody's friend... Hm. She really is a lot like Nanoha, sans genius.
Not sure if it means anything... but Carol and Tea seemed to be hitting it off real fast earlier, but it's Subaru who's washing Carol's hair in Ep4.

Quote:Hmmm... *brain clicks over to CoH mode* ...lemme get back to you on that.
(And can *someone* explain to me the rationale behind these combat outfits? *None* of them make any sense, from an armor standpoint. Heck, Carol's probably makes more sense, coverage-wise, than any of the others. Subaru's is the worst, but even Nanoha's and Fate's leave large chunks of their legs exposed (and why do you want leg armor to look like thigh-high stockings, anyway?), as does Erio's. Sigh... someday I'd like to see a mahou-armor series where the armor actually looks like it was designed by someone who knows what they're doing. Like Sylia Stingray, or Tony Stark....)

Quote:Honestly, I'd agree - for the opposite reason. He seems friendlier and warmer than Signum is, but damn they look alike.
And... am I the only one who thinks he could almost pass for Signum's little brother? Not so much in looks as in 'tude and style.
Ja, -n
