I agree with the slow start being a factor but I think Geneon can take a good share of blame for not striking while the iron was hot. They grabbed the license in 2007 and then broke off relations with ADV (their distributor) in the same year, meaning Nanoha didn't hit shelves until a full year later when Funimation agreed to put out the discs. Before the license Nanoha was anticipated as being the next big thing in the magical girl genre, but that first year of uncertainty over whether or not it'd even come out really stole the weight from its punch. <cite>Juhanor posted [p:927738827] in Anime and ...
