Zero no Tsukaima's Final Series Gets TV Anime in October

The wraparound jacket band on the second volume of Yukari Higa's Zero no Tsukaima Chevalier manga is announcing this month that the final series of the Zero no Tsukaima light novel franchise has a television anime green-lit. The new television anime is slated to premiere this October. The story follows a budding magician, nicknamed "Louise the Zero" due to her initial ineptness at magic, who accidentally summoned a boy from Earth as her familiar.

Noboru Yamaguchi's original light novels have already inspired three television anime series. Yamaguchi has been writing the final series arc of the light novels, and he planned to end the light novels next year. However, he was diagnosed with cancer in February, and he decided to focus first on the successful surgery and recovery this month instead of finishing the 21st and second-to-last volume this month.

Geneon Entertainment (USA) Inc. released the first series on DVD in North America. Later, Funimation acquired the rights after Geneon stopped distributing anime in North America. Both companies' releases are out of print.
