![]() ![]() Also as staple of magical girl anime is the transformation scene. Particularly Yuuno, if they hadn’t told me he was a boy I wouldn’t have known. I’m not a big fan of boys who don’t look like boys. Though I’m not a huge fan of how the men and boys were drawn but that’s a personal preference. I found myself singing along frequently! Animation is good too, I loved the character models for the most part. The music is also great, the OP, EN songs are catchy, especially the opening. Rie Kugimiya is one of my favorite actresses but shines in a small role as one of Nanoha's friends. The cast is really good, especially for the main characters. The supporting characters are pretty good, in a short series like this they don’t get a lot of development, which is ok because doing so would have taken away from the ones who deserved the screen time. The chief villain is also very well written, and while she is a mean and vile character I felt a wide range of emotions about her too. The two familiars, Yuuno and Arf are also fleshed out pretty well and are also very interesting and fun characters. The story does a great job in developing them and growing them into what they become by the end. Fate and Nanoha are two of the most interesting characters I have seen. It was very well done indeed!Ĭharacter wise, this show is truly outstanding. In the end I was left with many emotions as the story puts you through the full range from sadness to joy. The story has enough twists and turns to keep you guessing and while some of the plot lines were predictable others came as a surprise. By episode 7 or 8 I was on the edge of my seat as the action built up to the exciting climax. This rival is Fate, and this is when the story really starts to pick up and become more exciting. Eventually a rival emerges after the same thing as Nanoha but for more sinister reasons. The story starts out pretty predicable and not all that exciting, with the first few episodes being a monster of the week kind of format. (Pause while that soaks in a bit, boy does it sound silly when I read that) Overlooking the silliness of that, this ferret, named Yuuno has a mission to retrieve some magical artifacts that have slipped into the world so Nanoha agrees to help him. Nanoha, an ordinary young girl gets magical powers from a magic using Starting out there is nothing particularly original or extremely interesting about this show. Did I miss something? Happily, Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha is not one of those. Up till now, magical girls are usually extremely silly shows with way to many loli's, overly long and indecent transformation scenes, and perverted magic animals from other worlds or dimensions. Perhaps I have watched the wrong shows up until now and got a bad impression of it. As a fan of anime, the magical girl genre has not always been a favorite. ![]()
