Line 135:
** The third season does some crazy confusion with what's actually the Administration Bureau and what's actually Midchilda's military. If you listen to a lot of what Gaiz says, the Administration Bureau is not the same entity as the army, and that Hayate and the rest of the cast transferred to the army from the "main branch." Gaiz's rants against how the Administration and the Navy takes all the best mages, gets all the best equipment and such is a pretty good explanation for why the Army is the way it is.
** It's clear in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid|Vi Vid]]'' that Nanoha is still in contact with her family on Earth.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20090331192144/http://www.onemanga.com/Magical_Girl_Lyrical_Nanoha_StrikerS/2/12/ The Wolkenritter discuss this in the StrikerS manga]; Vita initially thinks she'll have to say goodbye to all the senior citizens she plays croquet with, but Signum says that she can still visit. In [http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1592232&postcount=1210 one of the Sound Stages], Hayate, the Stars and Lightning Squads and Shamal are seen bathing with Alisa and Suzuka.
* As the above entry notes, the vast amount of retcons in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS|Striker S]]'' played havok with what little logic and sense the Nanoha 'Verse followed. The power Limiters, for example, stand in complete logical contradiction to the idea adhered to in original and A's of the support mage, and their protective barriers such as the ones Yuuno loved to cast. The sole purpose of these was to prevent the surrounding areas and people from being destroyed. The power limiters exist for the exactl same purpose, except they cut the effectiveness of the Midchildan Army by a vast percentage. Considering the series can't even make the claim that Nanoha and company are "too powerful to be contained by the barriers", its even more glaring.
Line 297:
* Is it just me, or does it seem odd that they made the part in which Nanoha, Suzuka, Arisa and their families go swimming, a story with a lot of potential for [[Fan Service]] (especially with the swimsuit stripping Jewel Seed monster), into ''[[Audio Adaptation|a sound stage]]'' with no visuals?
* Does it seem odd that Vivio left a few people whom she owes for her present happiness off her [https://web.archive.org/web/20100630230024/http://www.onemanga.com/Magical_Girl_Lyrical_Nanoha_ViVid/1/07/ mailing] [https://web.archive.org/web/20100618184812/http://www.onemanga.com/Magical_Girl_Lyrical_Nanoha_ViVid/1/08/ list] for her commemorative photo? 1)Yuuno; disregarding the shipping implications of not including him, [http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=37267&page=63 Sound Stage M3 indicates that the two are somewhat close and he's been teaching her search magic]. 2)Shamal and Zafira; Shamal says in Sound Stage M4 that she and Zafira regularly get emails from Vivio with pictures of her and Nanoha, Zafira is Vivio's babysitter of sorts, and Shamal is Nanoha's (and possibly Vivio's) doctor. 3)Teana; in the ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS|Striker S]]'' sound stages, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG2mz1IY8RY&feature=channel Vivio states at 2:08 that as Teana is her mother's student and she owes her a lot, she wants to help her with the Mariage investigation], and she's also the only forward not shown getting a picture.
** Yes, odd indeed. With Teana I suppose one could handwave it by saying that she's on a mission out somewhere where they don't have cellphone reception, but still. It doesn't make a lot of sense.
*** Or most easy answer - she DID sent them, but place in manga is limited.
Line 391:
** [http://samukun.wordpress.com/2010/02/05/magical-girl-lyrical-nanoha-movie-first/ Here it is]. Some of the major changes include making Precia more sympathetic (apparently at Fate's insistence, according to the Nanoha Wiki), some of the battles get changed(the ones in 6 and 7 are fused together, and [[Hot Springs Episode|Episode 5]] is removed). Still, much of it remains the same, such as Nanoha and Fate becoming friends in the end, {{spoiler|despite the manga making suggestions that it might not happen}}.
*** Since the movie and the movie tie-in manga are explained as being in-universe creations as well, the answer is likely that the manga was shopped out to some writer that thought a [[Darker and Edgier]] take would be [[True Art Is Angsty|more artistic]]. It probably pissed Nanoha and Fate off and they likely informed the writer if he didn't knock it off they'd drop by and... "make friends".
* Why exactly are the Section 6 members sent to Earth in ''StrikerS Sound Stage 1'' less discreet about their affiliation with the TSAB in the presence of people who don't know aobut the TSAB than the crew of the Arthra in ''A's''? [http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WeBuEZu08mQ/RlYhJCXFPNI/AAAAAAAAADw/2N5uZGzurwE/s320/MahouOST.jpg Official artworkp seems to depict Hayate, Fate and Nanoha in uniform alongside the Forwards and Rein in casual clothing], and Subaru refers to Vita by her rank in front of a public bath clerk, and Vita claims to be an adult, despite in the StrikerS manga, suggesting that she [https://web.archive.org/web/20090331192149/http://www.onemanga.com/Magical_Girl_Lyrical_Nanoha_StrikerS/2/13/ would have to transform to look older if she revisited Earth], and apparently not doing so on this mission. By contrast, Fate starts to call Lindy "Admiral Lindy" in front of Nanoha's parents in Episode 4 of ''StrikerS'', but corrects herself and calls her "Lindy-san" instead, and Dr. Ishida (who still isn't aware of magic or the TSAB) becomes suspicious when Hayate refers to Letty as "Admiral". Granted, Nanoha's family, Arissa and Suzuka know about the TSAB but it doesn't seem as though the rest of Earth is any more aware.
** It isn't so bad to [[The Masquerade]] when you think of it. About Nanoha, Fate and Hayate's uniforms, they could have changed in Arisa or Suzuka's house (their houses are shown in the background); you can expect having a few clothe changes if you used their houses as arrival points (and it's definitely better than, say, and open park like in [[The Original Series]]). About Subaru referring Vita by rank, you could only assume it's something militarly-based, and not a multi-dimensional police (she could have been more careful though). Finally, Vita only wants to look older because she'll go see the grampas who she usually meet; they will certainly suspect of a girl that hasn't aged in 10 years.
