The only way I can talk about Nanoha is with spoilers. So the short and long of it is, Nanoha is pretty good. Go watch it. I like it.
Now on to the review proper. Nanoha, as you can tell from the name, is about a girl called Nanoha that is a girl. She has magical powers, and is lyrical? Right? In fact, no, she is not lyrical at all (at least from I can see). Even the show acknowledges this with a episode title "I am lyrical?". Anyways, Nanoha gets her powers via a ferret, the Mentor Mascot of the first season. Note how I said "the first season", well get into that in "A's". ;) Nanoha has to find twenty-one maguffins called Jewel seeds (please note that there are only thirteen episodes), in universe they are part of a set of things called Lost Logia (I'll talk more about them later).
Nanoha as a whole, in a way, kinda brakes the mold on magical girl shows. Now don't get me wrong the first season of Nanoha is very, very, very, very, very, very, very formulaic. Hear is a girl, her name is Nanoha, she meets a magical talking ferret that gives her magical powers, she now going to transform watch her do it, ect, ect, ect.......That is until Fate shows up. Fate......is an.......abused child...... yeeeaaa.
I an not kidding, Fate is abused meanly and physically by her own mother and for some strange reason this show takes it more maturely than most other shows I've seen. That one thing affects her throughout the series, not just the first season and then quickly forgotten about. The. Entire. Series. And that's not the most fucked up thing that happens to her, I won't spoil it, you half to see it for your selves. Speaking of maturity, Nanoha's magical garb is the only one (that I know of) with a long dress, and I know that shouldn't be a thing....but it is.
Anyway give it a shot, I liked it and so mite you.
P.S. I'll be doing a video review of this later, look for it on youtube.
