* [[Audience-Alienating Premise]]: It's a [[Magical Girl]] series aimed at young adult men. Moe is de rigeur for most anime, but the cutesy imagery can be a turnoff for Western audiences that don't look beneath the surface to the action series within.
* [[Broken Base]]: With the exception of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
** ''[[
** ''[[Sound Stage X]]'' was basically a continuation of ''[[
** ''[[
** And then there's ''[[Nanoha Force|Force]]''. If ''[[
** All of this is just from the main series. If we add the alternate continuities, we can also mention:
*** The movie, which was accused by some of being an unoriginal rehash of season one with half the plot and twice the explosions and cutting out pretty much anyone that wasn't Nanoha, Fate or Precia. Others liked it for [[Adaptation Distillation|exactly the same reasons]].
*** The movie manga, which later turned out to have little to do with the movie and more in common with the light novel. It was widely decried for the perceived change in character of Nanoha (or Emoha as this version is known to the western fans) and generally trying to be too dramatic with the brutal fight scene between Nanoha and Fate that lasted for most of the second volume. And despite being an [[Alternate Universe]] that changed many things along the way, it still ended the exact same way as the original anime and the movie, leaving many to wonder what the point of it was.
*** The ''[[Fate/stay
*** ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
*** The Sequel to the above game ''[[
*** Previews and Info started showing up for the Second Movie base on A's. People are already complaining about the changes such as replacing {{spoiler|Nanoha and Fate's reunion from [[Big Damn Heroes]] to Hugging. Removing Yuuno from battle, and most likely be replace by Lindy. And Removing the Liese twin altogether.}} Some fans are saying "Please let this be good." others are thinking "It cannot be as good as the original TV Series. How worst will it get?"
* [[Cargo Ship]]:
** Raising Heart/Bardiche. They've had [[Anthropomorphic Personification
** [[media:SHxA_9930.jpg|Sacred Heart/Asteion.]]
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]:
** The insert songs from the first three seasons [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQVDGv6WTXo "Take A Shot",] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsMh0tdgw8M "Brave Phoenix"] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df8mShEH0CE "Pray".] They all herald Fate's definitive moments for the season and are all sang by her VA appropriately enough.
** Hayate's theme [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI1YjU8-jKw&feature=related "Snow Rain".] It sounds like a gentle lullaby, yet has a kind of majestic beauty to it, especially when those violins kick in.
** The ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Would you believe [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_RBghAfiW8 this] was the prototype for the series. If you've watched the show for any length of time, the sight of Nanoha waving around that puny heart-shaped wand alone will be enough to make you crack up.
* [[Just Here for Godzilla]]: Subverted. Before the first season's [[Growing the Beard]] moment, viewers were expected to just be there to see cute little Nanoha from ''[[Triangle Heart 3
* [[Memetic Mutation]] / [[Fanon]]:
** [[Blood Knight]] / [[Sociopathic Hero]]: Nanoha's in-story enthusiasm for magical combat tends to be exaggerated into outright bloodthirstiness by fans. All the "White Devil" [http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/4813/nanoha2.jpg fanart] where Nanoha is drawn as an [[Ax Crazy]] [[Stepford Smiler]] and [[Memetic Molester]] of Fate.
** [[Cute and Psycho]]: Due to her whole [[Defeat Means Friendship]] shtick, [[Memetic Mutation]] has resulted in Nanoha being turned into this.
** "Befriend" as a euphemism for "beat the living crap out of".
* [[More Popular Spinoff]]: Of ''[[Triangle Heart 3 ~sweet songs forever~]]''.
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character]]: YUUNO. In a series so focused on how the ancient civilizations and technologies of the past are enormously impacting upon the present day, having an archeologist, scholar and librarian of ancient knowledge in the cast would seem like a great idea. If nothing else, Yuuno could have continued his roll as [[Mr. Exposition]] in ''[[
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: Though this probably isn't the writers' intention, Nanoha's [[Defeat Means Friendship|method of befriending]] people might give some of the younger viewers (read: those in the 4-9 year-old demographic) the idea that [[Might Makes Right|it's acceptable to beat the crap out of somebody in order to prove that you're right and they're wrong.]]
* [[Values Dissonance]]: The TSAB makes ample use of grade-school children as <s> soldiers</s> police officers. This is somewhat mitigated by the fact that ''every single child to ever appear in the series'' is [[Wise Beyond Their Years]] and [[Redshirt Army|the vast majority of the TSAB's mages]] are adults, but it still rubs some people the wrong way.
