Pony Canyon is getting close to releasing the back half of the Garo: Crimson Moon anime series in Japan with a box set for separate DVD and Blu-ray editions. Scheduled for a July 6th, 2016 debut, priced at 21,600 and 25,920 yen respectively, they’ve now brought out through the official Garo channel a new three minute preview and primer for the story and the release. It shows off the series pretty well with its design and themes.
Funimation simulcast the series in North America.
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 series stars Romi Park, Akiko Yajima, Daisuke Namikawa, Tomokazu Seki and Kenyuu Horiuchi.
Plot concept: In the capital city of an elegant, feudal society, a powerful spiritual barrier protects people from demonic monsters known as “horrors” – at least, those lucky enough to live in the northern part of the city.
