Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's is the sequl to Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha, I don't recommend watching this or reading this review till at least watching it.

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's follows up only a few months after the end of the original. Nanoha has been training herself in magic while Fate and the other are awaiting the verdict on her trail. All seems well till one night while doing homework, Raging Heart warns her of danger.

It follows the original in the sense that the plot is straight and to the point, with no side trips. We get to see the cast come back with the introduction to the new foes of the show. The battles are taken up a notch, longer lasting, and with more intensity.

The battles are more detailed and have far more movement and action in them. The storyline is driven harder using a simple but pointed, tragic conflict, that might very well make you wonder who to cheer for. It bought in more characters and once again lacked secondary character development due to shoving a 26 episode plot into 13 episodes.

Reviewer Recommendation: It felt like the end of the saga the way it ends but once again another sequel has appeared, which might very well knock it up another notch. Stay tuned for Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS! read more

This would be my first review, so I'll get straight to the point...

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha stands by its names as a magical girl show in the sense of girl discovering magical powers with near-nude transformation and such, however it has several points that place it apart from it peers. It has action that is on par with Shounen with its battles and a more realistic plot then most magical girl series.

The show itselfs is short and goes by quick and lacks the 'slow' nature of most magical girl animes. The biggest thing about Nanoha is its straight to the point, we don't waste time battle random villains till the real villain reveals their FINAL plot in the last episodes. We get a straight story from episode one with no side-trips. The staffs the character's use are really interesting, I would explain more but its best for you to watch it and see for yourself.

The only downside is your left wanting more development of the smaller characters. It latest only 13 episodes and leaves no room for secondary character development and cause of that it suffers a bit in storyline and character. However considering how much plot they stuffed in 13 episodes I don't think many would complain about this.

Review Recommendation: If you like this title then It's sequel, "Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's" will impress you even more. It has even better battles, more actions, with a deeper plot.
