MGLN – a homage to Super Robot Wars
Anime Relations:
Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha, Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's, Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS
All those who have seen the Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha series should have noticed that their battles are quite similar to those in mecha shows. The following is a working list of the references to Super Robot Wars: Original Generation.
Nanoha Takamachi => Weissritter / Rein Weissritter
Signum => Angelg
Subaru Nakajima => R-1, Alteisen / Alteisen Riese
Nanoha Takamachi => Weissritter / Rein Weissritter
- Nanoha is known as the “White Devil”. The theme song for the pilot of the Weissritter/Rein Weissritter (Excellen Browning) is called “Fallen White Angel”.
- Similar signature attacks. "Starlight Breaker" vs "Howling Launcher X”
Signum => Angelg
- Both Signum and the pilot of Angelg (Lamia Loveless) are voiced by the same person (Kaori Shimizu).
- Signum is an artificial intelligence, whereas Lamia Loveless is an android.
- Similar signature attacks. "Sturm Falken" vs "Phantom Phoenix”
Subaru Nakajima => R-1, Alteisen / Alteisen Riese
- Subaru’s “Divine Buster” at melee range is effectively the same attack as R-1’s “T-Link Knuckle”.
- Subaru gets a DEF upgrade that sacrifices maneuverability, just like the Alteisen’s upgrade to Alteisen Riese.
- Alteisen’s “Revolver Stake” (or Alteisen Riese’s “Revolver Bunker”) + R-1’s “T-Link Knuckle” = Revolver Knuckle (one of Subaru’s Intelligent Devices)?

Heya, thanks for commenting on my MAL blog. I thought I was talking to thin air. ^^;Anyway, I'm not an avid Super Robot Wars players, but, Nanoha's alias as the "White Devil of the TSAB" is actually inofficial. It's a name given by the fans, and is actually a direct reference by to Amuro Ray (see aliases), who is the "White Devil of the ESFS." But, ya, Nanoha has very heavy Gundam influences and some influences from Super Robot Wars. I mean, the producers says so. |
