U.S. distributor sets release for celebrated new feature from one of Japan's most popular anime franchises.

(LOS ANGELES, CA — December 13th, 2017) — ELEVEN ARTS Anime Studio has licensed the North American distribution rights to Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, a Japanese TV sequel of the hit anime series Nanoha.
The LA-based distribution company ELEVEN ARTS Anime Studio has set February 9th, 2018 as the next theatrical release for the film.

The story opens on Eltoria, a planet quietly dying from ecological devastation. The Florian family, consisting of a researcher couple and their two daughters, Amitie and Kyrie, stays on the planet in the hopes of restoring it. However, the father (Grants Florian) collapses from an illness, and the family's dream crumbles. Meanwhile, Kyrie endeavors to save her father and revive the planet, which means she must travel to a "different world, far away." Amitie tries to stop her, but Kyrie ignores her sister's warning and embarks on the journey with her best friend Iris.
Their destination is Japan, a small island country on the planet known as "Earth." Kirie and Iris, looking for the key to revive their planet, visit three girls from Japan. They are: Nanoha Takamachi, Fate Testarossa, and Hayate Yagami.

Their encounter will be linked to the battle, which will decide the fate of the two worlds and all who inhabit them.
