Shamal (CMS, PVC Figure)

cms_shamal_nanoha-29

nanoha_shamal_clear_wind_26643Shamal is one of the wolkenritters in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A’s and StrikerS. Together with Vita, Signum and Zafira she makes part of party to protect the master of the book of darkness, Hayate. Her device is called “Clear Wind” which is alike a two diamond shaped stones carved on two rings each. Shamal wears the rings on her forefinger and the second on her ringfinger.

In battle she doesn’t directly merges into battle, as her strength isn’t physical attended. Instead she casts curses and steals magic from her victims’ Linker Core’s. A linker core is the heart of a magician in which magic flows from. Without a linker core, the magician has no magic and so cannot cast spells. A linker core can be broken if Shamal leeches a longer period.

Without Index and ToraDora

Since the anime series “ToraDora” and “To Aru Majutsu no Index” (A Certain Magical Index) ended a week ago I didn’t found any anime to replace them. Up until now I re-watch some series and decided to start watching “Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu” (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya). At first I didn’t felt much to watch an female student living her school life, but there is a lot commotion around this anime so I gave it a shot…

Wow, Haruhi Suzumiya is só cool! It’s completely different from what I thought it was. :/ I should have read some episode posts on the blogs around here.

I wondered how many people are “lost” when their favourite series ends. How do you find another great anime? Luckily a number of blogs have created posts which could guide you to a new great series. As I’m quite lazy I’m just going to sum them up and inform you how I get to know my upcoming anime series. You should know I’m a dutchman without the ability the receive the Japanese broadcast. So I don’t have to great anime commercials and am completely depended by fansbubs.
