In this anime, the main 9-year-old heroine, Nanoha, finds a talking animal that gives her magic powers, and now she must find these "Jewel Seeds". However, another young girl, Fate, is also searching for them.
One major problem I had was Fate's motivation. I won't spoil it, but it felt lame. Her reasons were so dumb, I couldn't believe it.
The fan-service can be annoying. I mean, these are under-age kids. WTH? The gay-undertones were a bit heavy, most notably in the final episode.
These gripes aside, this is a fun, simple magical girl series, and fans of the genre should love it.
