| Dat ending was a little bit sad. > Debating on watching the movie or just get started on season 2 |

| That was nice :D On to the next season! |

| While it was a pretty lovely ending I still couldn't directly find me liking this series completely, it had a good concept and some nice development but by the series rating which is rather high I personally can't find myself saying the same about the quality of the show. All in all it's pretty decent but it could've been better by a lot! I am interested what the other season have to offer but for this first one it's a 6/10 for me. |

| Woah, they became completely different characters there for a second when they undid their hair bands. |
| The final episode is well done, if rather conventional in style, and it is a good resolution to the story. It leaves just enough of an opening for the series to continue. I plan to start watching the second season soon. As a fan of Madoka Magica, I decided to search for some of the shows that might have influenced it or led to it, and Lyrical Nanoha seemed like a good choice. It deviates somewhat from the genre conventions without being a complete subversion, and it has unusually complex underlying themes. Overall, I enjoyed it and found it interesting, although it has some flaws that are difficult to ignore. Unnecessary and distracting fan service always causes me to drop the score of a series by a point; here, I find it particularly troublesome because the characters involved are so young, and if there had been more of it, I probably would have taken two or three more points off the score. Also, certain elements of the plot were a bit awkward, particularly the willingness of Nanoha's family to let her disappear for extended periods of time without worrying too much. I'm on the fence between 7 and 8 right now, so given the strong reviews for the second season, I have tentatively given it an 8, and perhaps that score will solidify as I see more of the series. (I don't ordinarily give different scores to each season; I prefer to treat the series as a whole.) Despite my complaints, I find this series to be generally successful, and it is worthwhile in its own right, not just as a series to compare with Madoka Magica. |
| It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue. |
| Exchanging and wearing each other's ribbons was so sweet. A simple farewell scene and it was so heartwarming, especially with Fate constantly saying "Nanoha." Sometimes the emotions will be worth more than any dialogue could have been. I have to say this turned out to be a real treat. I was a bit skeptical when I first picked it up, but it really took on an unexpected turn of events. It seems like the popular opinion is that Fate is awesome and I definitely agree, her entrance is what really piqued my interest into how the rest of the show would unfold. I like how she developed from a girl desperate for mother's approval to someone who wanted to take her first steps forward towards making herself happy. I also like Nanoha's character in general, I just have a soft spot for those high energy, overly positive characters. 7.5/10, no doubt I'll be checking out the sequel in the near future. |

Akiyuki Shinbo worked on the first season of Nanoha, he would expect people to be familiar with the series before watching Madoka. Also, this series had a very distant source material, which is about Nanoha's family and their occupations. This too, is considered audience default knowledge by the scriptwriter and director. |

| At first, I thought that this show would be like a Cardcaptor Sakura theme. But it turns out to be interesting when they introduced Fate on the story. I love the pacing, art, characters and friendship. 8/10 |

SunsetHearts said: Well yeah, you're right-I just watched Madoka Magica before Nanoha, so that's why I said that. xD But yeah, I just thought the similarities were interesting. X3 They share the same director. Akiyuki Shinbo directed the first season of Nanoha, he would expect people to be familiar with the series before watching Madoka. |

| The last episode was kinda boring, but the anime itself was pretty good, 7/10 :) |

| I found the whole thing boring. I never got interesting in any of the things that were happening which sucks. Fate's a cool character in a boring show. I've read that it apparently gets a lot better in the second season so even though I didn't like this I'll probably check out A's at some point. 5/10 |

| I am really happy that Fate took Nanoha’s hand. Nanoha & Yuuno get an award, that’s pretty cool. Funny moments there between Naonha & Chrono in this episode + Amy. Magnificent beautiful heartwarming touching farewell between Fate & Nanoha, and also a little bit between Arf & Yuuno. I really like how they exchanged their hair bands, we even go to see those 2 with them on the in ending scenes, I actually like Nanoha better with her down like that. That is the end of a fantastic anime. 9/10 I wasn’t able to give it 10/10 because of the continuous torture Fate received form her mother, that was a bit too disturbing to watch. |

| Couldn't bring myself to care about about anything beside Fate and Nanoha, and found the Space-Time Bureaucracy or whatever obnoxious. Still, there's a lot of interesting things to talk about this series, and I don't regret watching it. |
| That was an emotional scene between Nanoha and Fate, exchanging ribbons was so sentimental and sealed their friendship. I wonder if she'll be alright though and if they'll prosecute her, even though chronos said they won't. So Yuuno decided to stay on as a ferret and freeload on Nanoha, what a true guy he is. Fate's mother deserved that death fall, the way she spoke with Fate was uncalled for. I wished to see Alhazard myself too, I hope season 2 addresses that place because it sounds interesting. Overall I enjoyed it very much and I loved both Fate and Nanoha, I hope season 2 will bring them closer and fight together. 8/10. |

| Amy is also interested in Chrono, hm?.. ;p Not breaking mobile as waking up again, noooo!! ;p Aw, Nanoha and Fate are such friends now.. Caring for each other so much.. So bittersweet.. Overall, I guess I wasn't satisfied only with a couple of episodes, when girls fought, without us really knowing nothing, and watching girls fighting for the sense of fighting.. But overall anime had great slice of life moments.. Characters had their souls and were interesting.. Even some of the fighting I usually not a big fan off - even some of this was quite thrilling at times.. So overall it was a good anime.. But I guess I'll have to watch second season, which is highly appraised, to understand more of what is Nanoha's anime actually is.. For now I'll give it a nice score, since also ending episode was satisfying, besides other things.. But I'll have to also watch second season sometimes in the future.. |
| This show really needed an episode like to this to clean out all that heavy atmosphere, leaving a rather like final episode was a wise choice. 100% sure they will meet again, so not sad at all, besides I plan to start A's right after this. Holding on in watching this series for so long, I am happy it managed to mmet/excede my expectations at parts, it is not perfect and the last episodes had some parts I didnt enjoy that much, but the essentials were laid out very well, so they only need to build from here, and give us even more yuri bait (that hug between both was so satisfying to see) . OShoranO said: Yuri route has been confirmed. Lol, they blushed when the meet eachother again and the exchange of ribbons was soo sweet!! 8.2/10= 8 |

| That was such a touching and heartwarming ending. Seeing Fate finally happy and able to move on from her horrible past as well as accepting Nanoha's friendship was so sweet. Amazing way to end the anime imo. |
