Second Teaser - Garo Red Requiem

The official website for Keita Amemiya’s Garo Red Requiem has been updated with a new 34-second theatrical teaser to go with the 3D promo they showed off in Tohokushinsha’s booth at the Tokyo International Anime Fair back in March.

The film is a spin-off of Amemiya’s 2005 tokusatsu television series, but boasts a bigger budget and better production values across the board. In the film version, a new character named Rekka, played by Mary Matsuyama, plays a central role along with the usual protagonist, Kouga Saejima (Ryosei Konishi).

The story involves a group called the Makai Knights who have secretly defended humanity for centuries by fighting demonic manifestations called “Horrors”. Chief among them is Kouga Saejima, a knight who holds the title of Garo and has the ability to transform into an incredibly powerful golden armored warrior for a short period of time. However, as long as there is wickedness in the world, there will always be more Horrors to purge. When seven new “Apostle Horrors” descend into the terrestrial world, Kouga accepts a mission to hunt down and exterminate them. A few days later, their trail leads Kouga to a port town where he happens to cross paths with Makai Priests Akaza (Yosuke Saito), Shiguto (Masahiro Kuranuki), and Rekka. It seems inevitable that the four of them will need to team up to face such a powerful enemy, but Rekka has revenge on her mind, and decides to take the Apostle Horrors on by herself…

“Garo Red Requiem” will be released by TFC and Go! Cinema in Japan later this year.
