* WeaponizedBall: Vita's long-range weapons of choice are iron spheres that she launches towards her targets by striking them with the [[DropTheHammer polo mallet-like]] [[SwissArmyWeapon Hammer form]] of her [[EmpathicWeapon Armed Device]].

Added DiffLines:

* SynchronisedMorningRoutine: PlayedWith because it's not done simultaneously but still shows how [[MirrorCharacter similar]] are Nanoha and her daughter over the years. ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' starts with a 9-year-old Nanoha waking up from a strange dream, turning off the alarm of her phone--it's on the floor--, stretching, and then tying her hair up in pigtails in front of her bathroom mirror. In ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid'', Vivio follows a near identical routine. The only difference is that her alarm is a clock on the bedside.

Added DiffLines:

* DisciplinesOfMagic: Mages in the franchise tend to practice one of two distinct schools of magic, Midchildan and Belkan (the later of which is further broken up between Ancient Belkan and Neo/Modern Belkan). While there is no visible difference between the two apart from the shape of their [[InstantRunes magic circles]] (Midchildan being a circle and Belkan being a triangle), on average Midchildan mages prefer ranged combat and Belkan knights prefer close combat.

Added DiffLines:

* AdoptingTheAbused: Most of the cast are HappilyAdopted so this comes up a lot. It's most prominently seen with series {{Deuteragonist}} Fate Testarossa, who was horrifically abused (both physically and emotionally) by her biological mother before eventually being adopted into the Harlaown family. She even continues the process from the other side as an adult, adopting several children of her own who came from similar backgrounds.

** The Nakajimas. With the exception of [[NonActionGuy Non Action Dad]] Genya (who lets his 108th Battalion do the talking), all of the members of the family are formidable fighters. [[ActionMom Quint]], [[BoobsOfSteel Ginga]], [[HotBlooded Subaru]], [[spoiler:[[BadassLongcoat C]][[EyepatchOfPower in]][[StuffBlowingUp q]][[YouShallNotPass ue]], [[{{BFG}} Dieci]], [[PowerFist Nove]] and [[SmallGirlBigGun Wendi]]]]. [[spoiler:Thoma Avenir]] will likely be joining them in the near future. And according to the First Movie Sound Stage, they consider [[TheGunslinger Teana]] part of the family.

Mix And Match is now a disambig.


The series has a rather unusual production history. Nanoha first started as a TokenMiniMoe in a certain [[{{Eroge}} H-game]] named ''VisualNovel/TriangleHeart3SweetSongsForever'', part of a trilogy of such H-games. She was a very minor character, but proved popular enough to eventually get a mini SpinOff game where she becomes a typical SickeninglySweet MagicalGirl. A few years later they decided to make an anime based on that, and so ''Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha'' was born. Said series proceeded to [[MixAndMatch throw in]] a bunch of tropes that would be more associated with HumongousMecha shows for good measure, simply because a production crew member noted that Nanoha's [[GiantPoofySleeves costume design]] made her look like a [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Gundam]]. From there on she went on to become one of the most badass {{Magical Girl}}s yet to have existed.

trivia entry


* NoHuggingNoKissing: The series has almost no romance onscreen, although [[ShipTease quite a lot is implied]]. Aside from Nanoha's brother and his girlfriend, the only confirmed relationships are between Amy and Chrono, and these characters mostly [[DemotedToExtra vanish after the second season]], and [[WordOfGay Nanoha and Fate]] according to [[http://imgur.com/sOUak02 this]]. Despite these confirmations, nothing actually happens onscreen. There are several character pairs that have romantic overtones, but none of them are ever explicitly shown to be more than friendship.

* GratuitousEnglish[=/=]GratuitousGerman: Nanoha and Fate's devices speak English, and the Wolkenritters' speak German. It's [[SurprisinglyGoodEnglish pronounced well]] because the actors are native speakers, although from ''A's'' onward the ''grammar'' does start to get a little funky. The movies fix that as well.

* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: Mostly spoken by the computers, but also one of Nanoha's friends at school. They're correctly accented, and make sense in context, although the grammar leaves something to be desired. The movie has the best English so far. They actually have native English-speaking voice actors for the computers -- Australian-born [[http://us.imdb.com/name/nm1051234/ Donna Burke]] for Raising Heart and an unknown named Kevin J. England for Bardiche. The German-speaking devices sound pretty good too, because Creator/TetsuyaKakihara grew up in Germany.

* WorldOfActionGirls: Despite male mages shown to exist in the Nanoha universe the vast majority of characters are female (who kick a lot of ass) and the few male mages shown in the series tend to be DemotedToExtra. By the time that ''[=ViVid=]'' roles around you would be hard pressed to find a single male character who wasn't already introduced in previous installments.

* WorldOfBuxom: There isn't much variety in breast sizes for the characters who are at least in their teens or are already adults (physically); the two most common sizes that you'll see are "big" and "bigger". They're realistically sized rather than being [[GagBoobs extreme]] like some examples of this trope can get, though. Downplayed in the first two series where a large portion of the female characters are children, but becomes more obvious after the TimeSkip to ''[=StrikerS=]'' since at this point most of the female cast are either in their adolescence or adults. However, the rule doesn't apply to everyone: characters like [[{{Bifauxnen}} Otto]] and [[ACupAngst Isis]] are flat-chested, [[TheNapoleon Caro]] is as well once she gets older, and Sein is the only character in the animated canon who has small (but not nonexistent) breasts and isn't physically a child. Once ''[=ViVid=]'' comes around the trope starts to fade a bit; while some of the new characters are still buxom, overall they have a far more diverse variety of breasts sizes. For example, Lutecia from ''[=StrikerS=]'' [[SheIsAllGrownUp shows up as a teen]] in that manga, and turns out to be one of the small breasted characters.

** In ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid'', it's revealed that while Vivio very closely resembles the woman she was cloned from, there are physical as well as personality differences between them (most notably, the fact that Olivie had no arms, though Vivio's "adult mode" also shows that she's [[BuxomIsBetter bigger]] than her predecessor).
