About Garo: The Animation

Garo: The Animation (牙狼〈GARO〉-炎の刻印-) blends action, fantasy and supernatural by MAPPA (2014). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. What the story covers: The story of the anime starts when the king's adviser launches a witch hunt, which endangers the Makai Knights and Makai Priests, who are supposed to protect people. A Makai Priest who has been condemned to die at the stake gives birth to a child, Leon Lewis.

From there, the child is rescued by his father, a Makai Knight, but never runs into his mother. When he grows up he inherits the Gold Armor as a descendant of the Gold Knights. Meanwhile the king's adviser has taken over the country as the king has become ill, and Prince Alfonso has been driven out with his mother.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. León Luis (Daisuke Namikawa) and Germán Luis (Kenyuu Horiuchi) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 24 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
