## FairyThought

***First of all, I know the announcement has already been in 2012 and the last PV appeared in 2013, however I just found it and would really love to share my opinion with others x3***
Like my "first of all"-note said, I just found the Prism Nana project and am really excited to see more. I hope they don't drop it.

I like the concept - though I don't really know what it will be about. The project is based on magical girl themed pachislots with the, obviously, same story (I guess). That would be another series being based on games, which I really like (though it's the first Magical Girl series, based on games, I know).

I have read many opinions of others online. Most of them are complaining about Prism Nana being a rip-off of Madoka Magica. I don't really see that, to be honest. Could be because I don't know much about Madoka. However, enough to say, that it doesn't look like a rip-off for me. Not even the art style looks familiar for me. To be more correct, I would rather connect it to Vividred Operation, based on how Itaru looks and behaves. Can't say much about the other characters yet ;D

Also, I like the character art. Unlike most magical girl series I know, they don't include much pink in the series however they have a lot green (Asuka). Heat Nana's outfit may include a bit pink, I can live with that since she looks to tomboyish to be a mary sue/moe. I also love that her hair looks like it is on fire xD

Then, I have seen that people aren't sure about Prism Nana really being a magical girl show. However, I think it is. After all, they include the word "magical" in the title and include story plots like fighting against monsters and saving the world. Also the story is about *girls* that *transform* into *magical warriors* and use *magical powers* and *items*. Seems a lot like a magical girl anime to me. :)

At last, I'd love to note one more time that I'm really looking forward to Prism Nana, and will watch it as soon at it is released. (No matter how long it will take) Now, I'd like to see/read what you think about Magical Suite Prism Nana and if you looking forward to it, like I do, or if you have own opinions about it.
