Episode 04 - [Nanoha-DGz]

Another whole episode of build up, the development was nice, but I really wanted to see the new devices in action before it was over.

This is my first series of this type and I'm noticing something that really stands out to me...I have detected almost no character conflict. I don't know if I'm just missing it or if it's not generally part of the genre or what but it feels like every single character gets along quite well with every other character and there are no shady opposing factions working from the inside against the main protagonists. The only strife I've detected thus far was from that short girl working with the big wolf creature and Signum (Vita?), when she was judged the new recruits as non-useful. Is this something standard in more 'girly' action shows or am I just grasping at straws?
