Funimation English dub for Garo the Animation
 

FUNimation Entertainment has a listing for a English dub for Garo the Animation. The dub is listed with a March 15 premiere date. If you guys have been waiting for a English dub of the show, now is your chance. I've been waiting for a dub because I really like Funimation's anime dubs (Funny since I would say the total opposite like a decade ago or earlier).

Cool. I might give it a try since I already use the service. Helps that I enjoyed that anime pretty well.

I'm happy that GARO is getting a release in some form in the US. I enjoyed this series, it took about 5 episodes though.

I still haven't seen the show yet. People may call me a "Filthy Casual", but I watch dubs for anime most of the time. I grew up with dubs and I think Funimation does a good job on dubbing anime compare on what they did 15 or 20 years ago with DBZ. As long if the dub is faithful to the Japanese script and the voice actors are good, I don't mind. I like subs too, but I like check out the English voices first before I switch over. Sometimes I watch a show a second time subbed to see what the Japanese voices are like.

Cool, well, I'll look forward to a DVD or Blueray release one day in the future. Meanwhile, I hope they do Dark Knight Zex, Zoro and Leon in his final form into figures. Would probably collect his berserk mode if they do that as well. Just saying.

I've never heard of this show before, and I'm to lazy to google it, so can someone please tell me what it's about? And if it'll be available on Netflix?

It's an anime series based off the live-action tokusatsu series, GARO. Basically, an ancient order (the Makai Order) sends Makai Knights and Makai Priests/Priestesses (although in the anime they are known as Alchemists) to slay demon beasts known as Horrors who possess and feed on humans. Knights are able to summon armor (which are designed resemble a wolf) to slay Horrors.

In the anime, a witch hunt launched by the Valiante Kingdom's king (under the influence of his advisor Mendoza) puts all Knights and Alchemists in danger and one Alchemist, Anna, gives birth to her son, Leon Luis, while being burned at the stake and Leon is rescued by his Makai Knight dad, Germán. Years later, Leon has become the Golden Knight GARO and returns to Valiante Kingdom to rid it of Horrors. At the same time, Mendoza usurps the throne and Prince Alfonso flees to find GARO, eventually meeting another Makai Knight, Rafael Banderas, who decides to train him. Basically, all the main characters must get together and stop Mendoza and combat the Horror threat.

I'm not quite sure if it'll be on Netflix...

I guess this means there'll be a physical release. Good, I'll buy any Garo that gets released stateside.

Thanks. Sounds kinda interesting. Though not "sign up for a whole new video streaming service" interesting.

Yea, it's a good series and in my opinion, way better than the trash that they are currently airing. That has been a huge dissapointment. :(. If u ever jump on the bandwagon, the first and second series of Garo were good. Everything else has been kind of mediocre. I just wish they would introduce Ohga some time and make a Makai Kado figure.

I would like to see it air on Toonami. It would be the second anime based on a Toku series to air on Adult Swim. It could get more people into the series if they market the show well enough.

So my local college's anime club is going to do a new set of shows to watch this semister and Funimation stuff is easiest due to liscencing this I want to try getting GARO on the watch list.

How would I describe it? It's not really "Power Rangers with hardcore violence and werewolf armor." Or is it? Never watched it. Want to and this'd be a good way to try.

Second?

Android Kikaider: The Animation was on Adult Swim over a decade ago. The Kikadier anime was my first introduction to Kikadier. As for Garo: The Animation, you could say that it's a dark gritty action horror anime with demons similar to Berserk. I remember people compare the Garo anime to Berserk.

For the cartoon version, just tell them it's a highly generic fantasy anime that borrows some mythology from a vastly superior live action series.

So it is getting a DVD/Blu-Ray release. Cool, I guess.
