For me, an adult, I didn’t find it to be as interesting, but I still can acknowledge that this is a good series for those that really enjoy younger age group shoujo. Not only are there cute creatures and magic powers, but there are friendships that are formed and a feel good ending that will make any young person happy. Young girls, in particular, will eat this up with a spoon. If anything, you might be wary of it because it very, very clearly is aimed at younger folks. In general, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha is a magical girl series at heart, but you shouldn’t let that influence your decision to watch it (since it becomes quite serious and sci fi related in the second half). Let’s just say quite a bit of the series takes place outside Earth itself! Truly a unique magical girl series if I ever saw one, but then again, magical girl series aren’t exactly my forte. The last half is heavy on character development, and again, turns very sci fi in nature. Instead of focusing on essentially a monster of the week type plot, we see Nanoha and her interactions with Fate, a rival magical girl who is after the Seeds for her own mysterious purposes. Luckily, around episode 5 or 6 of the 13 episode series, the story takes a turn into sci fi land and becomes really interesting, and totally different than what you’ve been watching already. Each episode follows Nanoha and Yuuno as they try to seal another Jewel Seed, and of course, Nanoha transforms in each episode as well. These stones, when activated by a person (or animal, or plant), grant the being their wishes which, needless to say, usually causes chaos to ensue.Īdmittedly, at first, this seems like the same old magical girl series. Powerful stones called Jewel Seeds are loose within the planet, and only Nanoha’s power can assist him in reclaiming the stones so their power can be subdued. One day near the woods, she runs across a ferret that is injured, but much to her dismay, this is no ordinary ferret! His name is Yuuno and he hails from another world, and he needs Nanoha’s help. Our tale begins with Nanoha, a young girl who attends school and lives with her family (who include characters from Triangle Heart: Miyuki and Kyoya).
#Mahou shoujo lyrical nanoha movie
I would recommend going through the original series (Nanoha, A's and StrikerS) prior to watching the movie retelling and/or reading the manga.StoryWhen I first turned on Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, I was expecting a boring and generic magical girl type series that might just put me to sleep. In StrikerS there are a number of background references to story from A's which has been scrapped in the movie retelling. Please do note that the movies are alternate retellings that are not 100% story-wise compatible with the original series.
Technically, the movies form their own continuity. There are some minor differences between the anime and the movies. The not-yet-aired third movie is supposedly going to be an original story which will be set between A's and StrikerS on the timeline. That is to say that "Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha: The Movie 1st" covers the same story as the original "Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha" and "Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha: The Movie 2nd A's" covers the same part of the story as "Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's". The first two Nanoha movies are retellings of the first and second seasons of the anime respectively.
