It has been noted by TV executives that [[Magical Girl]] series usually have [[Multiple Demographic Appeal]] -- not only are they popular among [[Kodomomuke|4 to 9-year-old girls]], but also among [[Seinen|19 to 30-]][[Testosterone Brigade|year-old males]]. Shows such as ''[[Pretty Cure]]'' attempt to [[Multiple Demographic Appeal|please both demographics]]. ''Nanoha'' is [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Little Girls?|made exclusively for the second]].
The series has a rather unusual production history. Nanoha first started as a [[Token Loli]] in a certain [[Eroge|H-game]] named ''[[Triangle Heart 3 ～sweet songs forever～]]'', part of a trilogy of such H-games. She was a very minor character, but proved popular enough to eventually get a mini [[Spin-Off]] game where she becomes a typical [[Tastes Like Diabetes|sickeningly sweet]] [[Magical Girl]]. 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 [[Mix and Match|throw in]] a bunch of tropes that would be more associated with [[Humongous Mecha]] shows for good measure, simply because a production crew member noted that Nanoha's [[Giant Poofy Sleeves|costume design]] made her look like a [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Gundam]]. From there on she went on to become one of the most [[Badass]] [[Magical Girl
What makes ''Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha'' unique is the detail put into the fight scenes, much to the delight of the [[Seinen]] market's nostalgia for [[Humongous Mecha|grand space battles]] and fist-pumping action. Many people who can't stand typical [[Magical Girl]] shows enjoy ''Nanoha'' because of this. It is also unusual among [[Magical Girl]] series in that Nanoha ''loves'' her job, enjoys her powers, and makes responsible decisions regarding them extending into adulthood.
