In a significant development for anime and manga enthusiasts, the beloved Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha franchise announces major expansions as it approaches its 20th anniversary. Two groundbreaking projects are set to enchant fans: a new anime titled Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha EXCEEDS Gun Blaze Vengeance and a manga series Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha EXCEEDS.
“Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha” burst onto screens in 2004, marking Masaki Tsuzuki’s genius leap from a minor game character to an anime sensation. What started as a humble spin-off from “Triangle Heart 3” evolved into a revolutionary take on magical girls.
