Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (魔法少女リリカルなのは Mahō Shōjo Ririkaru Nanoha?) is a Japanese multimedia franchise that encompasses four anime television series, two theatrical adaptations, multiple manga and Drama CD adaptations and sequels, as well as model figures and plastic models. It began in 2004 with Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, an alternate universe spin-off of the Triangle Heart series, and is on-going to date.
The series is named after its protagonist Nanoha Takamachi. At the beginning of the series, Nanoha is a 9-year old schoolgirl in modern-day Japan, who is swept into a conflict between extra-dimensional powers vying for control over magical artifacts they had discovered on Earth. Nanoha herself is revealed to be tremendously powerful in the extra-dimensional techno-magic and in later installments, leaves Earth altogether to pursue a magical career. In the chronologically latest franchise entry, Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force, she is 25. Nanoha's role diminished in further installments following StrikerS. In the 2016 original anime spin-off ViVid Strike!, the title no longer holds her name, but still takes place within the same universe, several years after the events of ViVid.
