Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha EXCEEDS Gun Blaze Vengeance excited fans this week with important news for its 20th anniversary anime. The franchise, which began in 2004, revealed the main cast, a new visual, and an animated promotional video, all to celebrate its journey. Scheduled to premiere in July 2026, the new production arrives as one of the major projects of the year in the fantasy and action anime universe, promising to renew the series’ legacy for a new generation in Brazil and worldwide.
The story of EXCEEDS Gun Blaze Vengeance takes place 30 years after the appearance of an invasive alien species, an event that almost destroyed the world. While humanity struggles to survive in this post-apocalyptic scenario, the young hunter Shiina Kuze seeks a peaceful life with her sister on an isolated island. However, danger is always lurking, and a United Nations investigation agency works to contain the threats. Thus, the anime blends the ‘mahou shoujo’ style with elements of science fiction and survival, a combination that has always captivated the audience.
Cast and Production Details
The promotional video, already available, features the song “Never Surrender” by singer and voice actress Nana Mizuki, a very familiar voice to fans of the saga. Additionally, the production confirmed four mysterious characters who are supporters of Towa, expanding the universe of the plot. Seven Arcs, the studio responsible for the original series, returns for this special project, once again featuring creator Masaki Tsuzuki on the script. This announcement consolidates a busy year for the brand, which also has a manga in publication since April 2025 on the Suiyōbi no Sirius platform by Kodansha.
For long-time fans, 2026 is a year of double celebration. In addition to the new anime, the anniversary project includes “Lyrical Selection,” a TV-edited version of the first two films, which has been airing since 2024. Therefore, there is content both for those who want to relive the classic adventures and for those awaiting the new narrative. With a dark plot and modern visuals, EXCEEDS Gun Blaze Vengeance has everything to win back old fans and attract new viewers when it premieres mid-year.
