History YMMV / MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid

** Crosses over with CreatorsPet at points. Not only is Miura heavily featured in marketing and commentary, she's also TheAce of the newcomers, a LightingBruiser without any ancestral connections, who still defeats [[spoiler: Vivio and not one but ''two'' veteran finalists.]]

!!![=YMMVs=] introduced by ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaViVid'':

!!![=YMMVs=] introduced by ''Manga/{{ViVid}}'':

* TheScrappy: The latest poll hints that Miura seems not to be very popular, despite she is basically the fifth main character and is prominently featured in artworks and she even makes it in ''The Movie 2nd A's'' drama CD and DVDCommentary. However, she is not included in the Top 20.

* {{Moe}}: ''Nanoha'' always had a strong element of moe (before ''[[NanohaForce Force]]'' anyway), but ''[=ViVid=]'' really pushed it to new heights with characters making cutesy poses and winking at you every other page. Even twenty-something Nanoha and Fate are no exception. Looking only at the magazine posters and the artbooks you'll never guess it's a FightingSeries, and not some kind of {{ecchi}} manga revolving around {{cosplay}}ing, hot springs, beaches, and generally dressing little girls as inappropriately as possible.

** Also, it's mentioned at one point that the reason Vivio lacks many of the abilities she displayed in ''Anime/{{StrikerS}}'' is because her Linker Core was damaged during the battle in the Saint's Cradle. This could have been an interesting character exploration if we'd gotten to see Nanoha's reaction to having effectively magically maimed her daughter, but instead it serves solely as a blatant excuse to nerf Vivio so that she doesn't curb-stomp the other girls in the tournament arc.
*** [[spoiler:Vivio did manage to regain her Sank Kaiser Mode after training under Nanoha, and is shown to be able to curb-stomp Einhart as hard as Sieg did, needless to say it really was just an excuse. Also, since Linker Cores are magical organs, [[FridgeLogic Vivio regaining her Sank Kaiser Mode means she's fully healed from the injuries she suffered from StrikerS.]]]]

* ContestedSequel: The main issue is a lack of an overarching plot.

Also, since linker cores are magical organs, [[FridgeLogic Vivio regaining her Sank Kaiser mode means she's fully healed from the injuries she suffered from StrikerS.]]]]

*** Three of the Numbers also made it in the Top 20. Nove is 14th, Wendi is 19th and Sein is 20th. Another ''[=StrikerS=]'' character who made it is Lutecia who is 15th.

*** The three Aces are also in the Top 10, with Nanoha being 3rd, Fate being 4th and Hayate being 7th. This is surprising, since the fanbase seem to love Fate and Hayate more than Nanoha, yet Nanoha is ranked higher than them. But even more surprising is '''Yuuno Scrya''' reached the 13th place, who has only appeared in a ''single panel''!

* FanFavorite:
** Do you expect from the EnsembleDarkhorse, who gets her own spin-off, ''not'' to be popular? Of course, Vivio is the most popular character in this series.
** Fate's expy Einhart is also a fan favorite, but she's not as popular as Vivio.

* HilariousInHindsight: In the end of chapter 35, the translator makes a gag by letting Miura saying "It's my manga now, bitch!", after [[spoiler:she defeated Vivio in the tournament]]. In ''Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha The Movie 2nd A's Tribute Comic'', all major competitors but Sieglinde and Fabia are cosplaying ''The Movie 2nd'' cast. They are later divided in the Mid-Childan and Belkan teams, with Vivio opposing her friends, Miura and Harry. One could say, Miura is stealing her friends, too.

* UnfortunateImplications: For being a manga so focused on family and friends, no one seems to notice or care that 12 year old Einhart lives alone and in her own words has always been by herself.

** The latest poll has also some surprising darkhorses among the Top 20. While it is not surprising that Team Nakajima are in the Top 10[[note]]Vivio is 1st, Einhart is 2nd, Corona is 5th and Rio is 6th[[/note]], the other ''[=ViVid=]'' characters have Sieglinde, Harry and Fabia at place 8th, 9th and 10th, respectively. Micaiah is 12th, Olivie is 16th, Chantez is 17th and Victoria is 18th.

* FiveManBand: The five major Inter-Middle veterans:
** "TheHeroine": Sieglinde Jeremiah, TheAce.
** TheLancer: Micaiah Chevelle, TheRival to Sieglinde. She's TheBigGirl if Victoria is TheLancer.
** TheBigGirl: Victoria Dahlgrün, Sieglinde best friend and former OnlyFriend. She might be TheLancer to Sieglinde.
** TheSmartGirl: Els Tasmin, the {{Meganekko}} who has to use strategy to win against her opponents due to her lack of power.
** TheChick: Harry Tribeca, the youngest of them. She's weaker than Sieglinde, Victoria and Micaiah and has the tendency to cry often.

* {{Moe}}: ''Nanoha'' always had a strong element of moe (before ''[[NanohaForce Force]]'' anyway), but ''[=ViVid=]'' really pushed it to new heights with characters making cutesy poses and winking at you every other page for no good reason whatsoever. Even twenty-something Nanoha and Fate are no exception. And looking only at the magazine posters and the artbooks you'll never guess it's a FightingSeries, and not some kind of {{ecchi}} manga revolving around {{cosplay}}ing, hot springs, beaches, and generally dressing little girls as inappropriately as possible.

** TheHeroine: Sieglinde Jeremiah, TheAce.

** An early popularity poll, when only a few of the Inter-Middle participants were just introduced, has following characters in the top 10. Tenth is Erio, ninth is Corona, eighth is Caro, seventh is Lutecia, sixth is Nove, fifth is Rio, fourth is Einhart, third is Nanoha, second is Fate, and first is Vivio. It's impressive to see that Nanoha and Fate were still that popular (well, they ''are'' the original heroines), but for more impressive are Lutecia, Erio and Caro, who are above Subaru and Teana.
