Synopsis

In the medieval Kingdom of Valiante, a corrupt royal advisor launches a brutal witch hunt against the Makai Knights and Alchemists who protect humanity from demonic Horrors. Born amidst his mother execution at the stake, Leon Luis inherits the legendary golden armor of the Golden Knight Garo. Raised in exile by his father German, Leon struggles to control a burning flame of hatred that destabilizes his sacred armor. When the exiled prince Alfonso seeks their aid to reclaim the throne, Leon must conquer his inner darkness to battle malevolent demons threatening the realm.

Background (may contain spoilers)

Premiering in October 2014 and running for twenty-four episodes, *GARO: THE ANIMATION* was produced by studio MAPPA and directed by Yuichiro Hayashi. Marking the first animated incarnation of Keita Amemiya celebrated live-action tokusatsu franchise, the series relocated the dark fantasy lore into a grim Spanish-inspired historical setting. Featuring scripts supervised by Yasuko Kobayashi, kinetic mechanical combat animation, and a heavy symphonic soundtrack composed by MONACA, the anime was lauded for its mature, hard-hitting narrative tone.
