Funimation has the first part of Garo: The Animation available for streaming on the Amazon Video platform and right now you can get the first half of it for free with the English dub. You can also get the second season for just seven bucks too. The show is one of our favorites from the last few years and you can see our reviews for the first season and second season for it. But for free, it doesn’t hurt to just add the first season to begin with.
The show was animated by Studio Mappa with Yuichiro Hayashi directing based on scripts by Yasuko Kobayashi and character designs by Toshiyuki Kanno.
The series starred Daisuke Namikawa as Leon Lewis, Kenyuu Horiuchi as Herman Lewis, Katushito Nomura as Alfonso San Valiante, Romi Park as Emma Gusman, Hironobu Kageyama as Zaruba, Takaya Hashi as Mendosa, Mari Tsuchii as Octavia, Mayu Udono as Garum and Natsumi Tada as Esmerelda.
Plot concept: A long time ago in the kingdom of Valiante, humans shared the world with Horrors—monsters who feed on humans with weakness in their hearts. Desperate to put an end to the Horrors’ reign, the King allowed his advisor Mendoza to launch a witch hunt targeting the magic users who had sworn to protect humanity from evil.
One-by-one the famed Makai Knights and Alchemists were cut down by Mendoza and his men. That is, until a young Makai Knight named León inherited the golden armor of Garo and with it, the power to save the kingdom. But unlike the other Makai Knights who fight to protect humanity, León is young, reckless, and driven by his desire to avenge his mother’s death at Mendoza’s hands. How can an immature Golden Knight who fights for the wrong reasons hope to protect anyone? – See more at: http://www.funimation.com/blog/2016/02/27/garo-the-animation-english-voice-cast-announcement/#sthash.wKc28NnB.dpuf
