Nanoha and Fate Return: Get Hyped for the New Lyrical Nanoha Openings!
It feels like ages, but our favorite magical girls are officially back in action. The Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha franchise—which has been a staple of the genre since way back in 2004—is currently dropping new episodes of EXCEEDS Gun Blaze Vengeance, and honestly? It’s exactly the adrenaline boost we needed this season.
If you haven't started watching yet, you can catch the series streaming over on Crunchyroll. To celebrate the ongoing run, the team behind the show just released the creditless versions of the opening and ending sequences. They look absolutely gorgeous, so definitely make sure to give them a watch.
The Music Slaps
You can’t have a great magical girl anime without an iconic soundtrack, and this season is definitely delivering. The opening theme, "CRIMSON BULLET," is performed by the legendary Nana Mizuki. It’s high-energy, catchy, and fits the show's intense vibe perfectly. On the flip side, we have the ending track, "Ephemeral" by Hina Aoki, which provides a nice, emotional cool-down. Both songs are already out on streaming platforms if you want to add them to your daily playlist.
What’s Actually Going On?
If you're wondering how this fits into the Nanoha universe, let’s set the stage. The story pivots to a darker timeline where Earth is still reeling from an alien invasion that nearly wiped everyone out three decades ago. Humanity is basically just trying to survive at this point, relying on a UN agency called EXCEEDS to keep the alien threat at bay.
The plot centers on a character named Shiina, a young hunter living on a remote island. She’s just trying to live a quiet life with her sister, Setsuna, but as you might expect, fate has other plans. One unexpected incident throws her straight into the middle of the global conflict.
The Talent Behind the Magic
Seven Arcs is handling the animation for this one, with Takayuki Hamana taking the lead in the director's chair. The creative team is stacked, too—Masaki Tsuzuki is back to handle the screenplay, while Issei Arakaki is overseeing character designs and chief animation duties. The aesthetic details, like the Barrier Jackets and devices, were handled by Shuichi Kawakami.
The show premiered in Japan on July 4, and it’s been a wild ride ever since. Whether you’re a long-time fan of the franchise or someone just looking for a new action-packed series, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha EXCEEDS Gun Blaze Vengeance is worth adding to your queue immediately.
