![]() The gang has a practice session on another planet (oh yeah, Nanoha eventually moves the setting away from Earth to another planet), where everyone (including the moms, Nanoha and Fate) gets a moment to shine in battle. Vivio and her friends encounter Einhald and takes her into their gym to train her/channel her fighting energy into more upright ways. The first half of Nanoha ViVid introduces a brand new character, Einhald Stratos, who was a street magic martial artist looking to beat some specific opponents. In that respect, Nanoha ViVid in particular bridges between the magic-heavy Nanoha series and the punch-heavy ViVid Strike!. However, the ViVid series leans more on hand-to-hand combat than blasting magic beams. Yes, Nanoha is fundamentally a magic show, with lots of magic and transformation scenes. Sadly, Nanoha ViVid doesn’t explore the relationship between Vivio and her two mothers, as Nanoha and Fate take the backseat in favor of the next generation of magical fighters. While the relationship is not hinted to be sexual, they adopted Vivio at the end of StrikerS and raised her together. Both Nanoha and Fate have been friends since the end of the very first Nanoha season, and they ended up living together as they grew older and joined society. I have to give props to StrikerS especially for normalizing lesbian relationships. To someone new to Nanoha in general, the abundance of females (and a lack of important males) in the non-harem show is perhaps surprising. Set after the last of the three Nanoha seasons, Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS, Nanoha ViVid bridges the gap by including some of the same characters, including the two lead characters from previous shows, Takamachi Nanoha and Fate Testarossa. ![]() While the original Nanoha series was an anime original affair, it was popular enough to spawn various mediums after it ended, including Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha ViVid ( Nanoha ViVid), a manga drawn by the renowned loli artist Fujima Takuya, which was adapted into an anime of the same name. With each season, ViVid drifts further and further away from the themes in the original Nanoha series. So how well does the ViVid series, the sequel to the Nanoha series, fare in comparison? Being meguka is suffering, and Nanoha series has plenty of examples of that. For a magical girl series, Nanoha was like a precursor to the whole dark magical girl thing. I wasn’t into anime yet back when the first three Nanoha seasons aired, but having seen them recently I can guess at why they have a dedicated fan base.
