Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's can be faulted for many things—a chaotic beginning, a time-stalling middle, an overly drawn-out ending—but one thing it can never be accused of is having a generic, sneering, cackling, Big Bad villain. That's because this series does everything it can to avoid that stereotype, hiding the real enemy within a matryoshka doll of plot twists and revelations. As a sequel series, the pressure to outdo the the original must have been intense: "Actually, Fate isn't the real villain!" just would not do as a plot device anymore, and they had to go bigger and better, and throw in a couple of heart-wrenching moral dilemmas for good measure. The result is a work of raw ambition, desperately straining to break free of the clichés holding it down. To its credit, Nanoha A's comes close. Very close.
Even the title of this series belies its true nature: if anything, Nanoha A's is more of a pure action-adventure that simply uses magical-girl tropes and cuts out the filler. And so it is with the opening arc: Nanoha gets beaten to within an inch of her life in Episode 1, Fate has to fight in her place for almost all of Episode 2, and then it's another whole episode just to explain what the heck is going on. Clearly, familiarity with the original series helps a lot, because the recap ("I was an ordinary third-grader until...") barely counts as one. And don't ask what spaceships and cartridge-loading weapons and computer science mumbo-jumbo have to do with magical combat; this is one of those series where "because it looks cool" is justification enough for anything.
