History Anime / MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaReflection

**

* AdaptedOut: The movie cuts out the more fantastic elements (by series standards) from the PSP games, meaning that it lacks the characters who showed up due to being resurrected as Dark Fragments (Precia and Linith) or time traveled (Vivio, Einhart, and Thoma) don't show up. The Liese twins and Reinforce Eins (who had been SparedByTheAdaptation in the games) are also absent.

* BookEnds: At the beginning of the movie, Kyrie brings up a story that Amitie used to read her when they were little, whcih featured a magician that helps girls who are sad. Amitie brings it up again at the end of the movie, pointing out that Nanoha is now playing that role.

* CallForward:
** In chapter 5 of the manga, Hayate has an internal monologue about how Nanoha's habit of pushing herself to insane lengths in order to help people can be dangerous. In the main timeline, Nanoha would end up getting hospitalized for a year about six months after the movie takes place when all her constant training causes a HeroicRROD during what would have been a routine mission, and then lose 8% of her total magic power as an adult during her RoaringRampageOfRescue when Vivio is kidnapped.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 6 of the manga focuses on Momoko of all people, delving into her thoughts on her daughter's career path and her friendship with Lindy.

* ContinuityNod: Nanoha and Fate's training match takes place in the same simulated city as their final battle back in the first movie.

* OlderAlterEgo: In a notable aversion, this movie marks the first time that Arf's human form is shown without any age-changing magic (outside of flashbacks).

* InvisibleParents: Averted. The movie goes out of it's way to introduce Arisa and Suzuka's parents, along with the Florian sisters' mother. The only living parent who doesn't appear is Shiro.

** When Momoko and Lindy are having a talk about Nanoha's future in chapter 6, a shadowy version of her post-''[=StrikerS=]'' character design is seen.

** Momoko mentions her husband's sister (Miyuki's biological mother in ''VisualNovel/TriangleHeartThreeSweetSongsForever'') in chapter 6 of the manga.

* MythologyGag: Arisa and Suzuka treat the BeamOWar at the end of Nanoha and Fate's training match as fireworks. ''Way'' back in the final Sound Stage of the first season, they mistook Nanoha and Yuuno setting of Starlight Breaker to celebrate the anniversary of Fate and Arf's familiar contract as fireworks.

* AmusementPark: A large chunk of the movie takes place at Allston Sea, an aquarium/amusement park respectively built an owned by the Tsukimura and Banning families.

''Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Reflection'' is the third movie in the ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' film series, and the first one not to be a retelling of a previous season (though it does borrow several elements from the PSP games).

* {{Cliffhanger}}: The movie ends with [[spoiler:Amita and Nanoha]] arriving at the scene and taking part [[spoiler:in the battle against Yuri and Iris]].

** The same chapter also discusses the miniaturization of [[AntiMagic AMF generators]], something that will eventually lead to the creation of [[MechaMooks Gadget Drones]] in ''[=StrikerS=]''.
