Magical lyrical girl nanoha is somewhat similar to cardcaptor sakura where cute girls with magical powers flying around and fight with their own unique weapons. However, i should also mention that magical lyrical girl nanoha is a reinforce version of cardcaptor sakura. It has more fightings with more aweseome and new moves. One special features i like in this anime is their weapons. Where the characters are able to give commands to their weapons and also their weapons has not only one form. So as to say that the weapons can transformed into many forms such as awe, sword, hammer and much more. The weapons also have a heart of their own, meaning that they are so call ''living beings''. So at times, the weapons are able to communicate with their master and give suggestions at critical time. The commands and fighting skills are pretty cool too. I should say the weapons plays a large part and add a lot of points to the anime. Although the main characters are kids, but they definitely think and fight like an adult. So you can expect a lot more from this anime rather thinking that it is an childish anime.
The squence of the story is good but i think it is too draggy. for almost all the episodes, the characters just find the jewel seeds, fight and thats it. There is no big twist in the story thats is impactful. So the story can be pretty borings at time where there is too much talkings and they are doing the same thing again and again. Despite saying all these, the major scoring point for this anime is not the plot but rather the actions , weapons and stuff.
The current movie is based on the first season. However note that it is not the continuation of the story or what. I should it is a summarise version of the first seasons. However, of course being a movie there are still some minor characters and part of the story that cannot be seen in the main series. I personal think that these minor parts does not create much of a impact to the main series. Most of the parts are still very similar or same as the main series. so it is okay if you don't watch the movie. But then, if you want to watch it, it is still okay because i should the graphics is very good. I have to give credit for it.
Most of the songs are sung by Nana mizuki. She is a pretty famous singer who has songs and voice for a lot of anime's. I personally think that her voice is awesome and her songs are super. No joke!! You just need to hear it once and you will fall in love with her songs.. Hahaha!!
1. Innocent starter by Nana mizuki (Opening 1)
2. Little wish ~lyrical step~ by Yukari Tamura (Ending 1)
3. Take a shot by Nana mizuki (Insert song)
Below are the sound tracks for magical lyrical girl nanoha the movie:
1. Phantom mind by Nana mizuki (opening 1)
2. My wish my love by Yukari Tamura (Ending 1)
3. Don't be long by Nana mizuki (insert song)
The songs are really really freaking nice. My favourites are innocent starter and my wish my love. They are rally additive!! I have been listening it for a few years and i am still listening to it until now... For me, watching anime is not all about the story, characters of stuff. The songs also plays some part. A good opening song can give a strong and good impression of the anime. Also the insert song can also sets the mood for some parts of the story. After all, it is music that keeps people going.
Stay tune for my next post which will be about magical lyrical girl nanoha second season.
Thats all for now, ciao~~
