Which means the DVD may release around April 2019...It'll be perfect timing as Symphogear XV is airing.

\o/ Hell yeah!
If this ends up leading into a StrikerS movie, even better! I'm just going to take in and appreciate all the Nanoha content I can get, as it's never enough ;--;
*patiently waits for Reflection to be released on BD*
Soon. Soon.

Reflection aired today, Detonation is the "latter half" of Reflection because apparently Tsuzuki wrote too much stuff to cram into a 2-hour movie, so they decided to do 2 movies.

Actually, it's already announced here that the movie this time will have two parts, and so Detonation is second part to Reflection.


Thanks! Looks like some decent stuff. I wasn't a big fan of the Vivio content. This looks more up my alley.

Nanoha Detonation's cast list:



Well the cast list is pretty much same as Reflection except some mirror characters like Yuuno, Chrono, Suzuka, Arisa and the others didn't listed on it.

Also after heard some people who watched the Reflection movie (Spoiler):

I had no idea Reflection was going to be split into two parts as i just recently finished watching almost all the seasons and movies of Nanoha. I guess now would be a good time to go finish Vivid Strike.

I still don't get why most of sources do not count Vivid Strike! as part of franchise. You should either count it also or exclude Nanoha Vivid from timeline as it has different main charas and theme too.


Probably because Vivid have "Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha" upfront, while Vivid Strike doesn't.
