posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Odex confirmed the territories on Monday for its Southeast Asian screening of the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Detonation anime film. Odex will screen the film in Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The company did not yet announce a release date for the film in any of the stated territories.
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Detonation will open in Japan on October 19. Nana Mizuki will perform the film's theme song "Never Surrender." The film's website previously teased that the new film will delve into the history between Iris and Yuri, and the tragedy of Eltoria's "Planet Reclamation Committee."
The film's new cast includes Kōichi Yamadera as the unnamed head of the Planet Reclamation Committee, Eiji Miyashita as Andy Penton, and Yumiko Ōfuku as Jessica Waverly.
The first film in the two-film project, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Reflection, opened in Japan in July 2017. Odex screened the film theatrically in Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei, and Thailand last year.
Masaki Tsuzuki, the franchise creator and scriptwriter, is credited with the original work, and also penned the scripts of both films. Takayuki Hamana (The Prince of Tennis, Library War, Appleseed XIII) directed the first film at Seven Arcs Pictures, and both are returning for the second film. Kana Hashidate (Dog Days) drew the character designs, and Shochiku is distributing the films.
