Since the Wolkenritter are skilled in Ancient Belkan combat magic far superior to theirs, Nanoha and Fate fail to stop them and the Book of Darkness, an ancient artifact bound to Hayate, is activated. Six months after the original series, she and Fate encounter the "Wolkenritter", four magic knights who steal others' magical abilities to save Hayate Yagami, a wheelchair-using Japanese girl. In Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's (2005), Nanoha continues her magical training. In the end, Nanoha convinces Fate to rebel against Precia, who is defeated and apparently dies. Attracted by their activity, the interdimensional police TSAB ("Time-Space Administration Bureau") intervenes to secure and to seal the artifacts. After Nanoha assists an injured extradimensional magician in collecting them, she is drawn into a magical battle against a female mage named Fate Testarossa, who came to Earth to collect Jewel Seeds for her mother Precia. In the plot premise of the original series, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (2004), 21 "Jewel Seeds", highly destructive artifacts from another dimension, are accidentally scattered across Earth.

#MAHOU SHOUJO LYRICAL NANOHA MOVIE#
I would recommend going through the original series (Nanoha, A's and StrikerS) prior to watching the movie retelling and/or reading the manga.Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ( Japanese: 魔法少女リリカルなのは, Hepburn: Mahō Shōjo Ririkaru Nanoha) is a Japanese multimedia franchise that encompasses five anime television series, four theatrical films, multiple manga and drama CD adaptations and sequels, as well as model figures, plastic models and toys from Bandai. In StrikerS there are a number of background references to story from A's which has been scrapped in the movie retelling. Please do note that the movies are alternate retellings that are not 100% story-wise compatible with the original series.

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha or Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha: The Movie 1st.The Vivid and Force manga series continue the story from the anime, while the other manga entries are nothing more than additional background content for the die-hard fan In addition to the excellent response provided by Logan M, these are the anime and manga series in a chronological order. Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha: The Movie 2nd A's.Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha: The Movie 1st.If you want to watch all the anime in chronological order by release date (which is what I'd personally recommend), it would be: With that in mind, there are many possible orders to watch the series, and so long as you respect the internal chronology any viewing order seems reasonable. However, these differences are all minor as far as I remember. Technically, the movies form their own continuity. There are some minor differences between the anime and the movies. The not-yet-aired third movie is supposedly going to be an original story which will be set between A's and StrikerS on the timeline. That is to say that "Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha: The Movie 1st" covers the same story as the original "Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha" and "Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha: The Movie 2nd A's" covers the same part of the story as "Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's". The first two Nanoha movies are retellings of the first and second seasons of the anime respectively.
