Location from Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha by Masaki Tsuzuki / Seven Arcs
A quiet coastal Japanese city that is the setting for the original series and A's — home to the Takamachi, Bunnings, Tsukimura, Yagami, and (eventually) Harlaown families.
Uminari City is where Nanoha grew up, where Yuuno fell, where the Jewel Seed incident happened, and where Hayate's house is. It's a place the franchise treats with genuine affection — the specific warmth of a setting that remembers what it was like before magic. By the time of StrikerS the cast has mostly moved to Mid-Childa. Lindy stayed in Uminari when she retired. Vita visits her elder croquet friends in her adult transformation form. The city is still there, still ordinary, still the place the story began.
A Japanese coastal town that looks like every ordinary town in a magical girl anime until it doesn't. The harbor, the school, the residential streets, the park where things fall from the sky. It has the particular texture of a place where normal life is actively ongoing at the same time as dimensional incidents.
Also known as: Uminari, Uminari City
