Before watching this, remember: MSLN is *not* a magical girl shoujo anime. It's a 100% straight action series. In fact, when I describe it to my friends, I describe it as "equal parts Sailor Moon, Dragonball Z and Star Trek, of just the right length".

The first few chapters are typical magical girl fare, yeah, but that's just a bait and switch story that paves the way to a completely different story that focuses on the conflict between Fate's superiors, her relationship with Nanoha, Nanoha's own life issues, her new career as a magical girl, and the powers that are behind Nanoha's job. And all of ... that is carried on with the most awesome fighting scenes you'll ever see. I'm not talking about just magical girls throwing powers; I'm talking about real badasses duking it out!

The story is flawless, the voice acting is great, the story starts out clichéd but that's before the real story kicks in halfway through, the animation is awesome especially during the fight scenes (I could swear they poured a blockbuster-like budget on this!), and overall, this is one of the best of the best anime series I've watched in my life. I'm definitely looking forward to A's and Strikers.
