The official site for Garo: Crimson Moon has provided for a rather surprising update in that a feature film is coming for the property. Unfortunately, there was no information about it beyond it being in the works so we don’t know if it’s a compilation or an original work within that framework or who all is involved with it.
Check out our review of the first and second parts of the TV series that Funimation licensed and released.
Animated at MAPPA and Tohokushinsha, the series was directed by Atsushi Wakabayashi based on the overall composition by Shou Aikawa and Toshiki Inoue. Takao Yoshioka, Seishi Minakami, Masaki Wachi, Shinichi Inotsume and Shigeru Murakoshi were involved in the scripts for the show. Masao Ebihara handled the character design adaptation from the original works by Masakazu Katsura.
The Japanese cast includes Romi Park, Akiko Yajima, Daisuke Namikawa, Tomokazu Seki and Kenyuu Horiuchi.
Plot concept: The legendary golden armor fights once more against the horrors of the world. In the capital city of an elegant feudal society, a powerful spiritual barrier protects the highborn from the demonic monsters that roam the night. But for the commoners, from the moment the sun sets, their world turns into a living nightmare.
Hope shines in the form of graceful Makai Alchemist, Seimei, and her Makai Knight, Raiko. Donning the golden armor, Raiko faces the horrors to protect those who cannot save themselves. Yet wearing the armor alone is its own battle. But with his strong sense of justice and Seimei fighting by his side, Raiko will take the risks that come with the powerful armor.
Though they raise their weapons against the horrors that plague the land, there are more dangers that await inside the walls of the barrier. Politics, evil schemes, and demons of all kind—are these challenges beyond what the Makai heroes are able to face?
