About this movie

The first feature-length film from the acclaimed Studio TRIGGER, creators of the hit series KILL la KILL and Little Witch Academia, and director Hiroyuki Imaishi (GURREN LAGANN, KILL la KILL), Promare uses a bold cel-shaded visual style to tell a blistering action-adventure story, and is the spiritual successor to many of director Imaishi's former works. Thirty years has passed since the appearance of Burnish, a race of flame-wielding mutant beings, who destroyed half of the world with fire. When a new group of aggressive mutants calling themselves "Mad Burnish" appears, the epic battle between Galo Thymos, a new member of the anti-Burnish rescue team "Burning Rescue," and Lio Fotia, the leader of "Mad Burnish" begins.

Ratings and reviews

Just watched this with my wife who's a huge fan of Gurren, kill la kill, etc and she gives this 5 stars. I also hugely enjoyed it, might give 4.5 stars, but def the expected tour-de-force of action, comedy, bigger than life characters, and a story that matters and pulls just enough on your heart strings to make you truly care of what's about to happen next. The animation style may take a bit to get used to, but it's as edgy as you'd expect, given who the makers are. Don't miss out on this!!

Yeah......not into cartoons. It's prolly good like how much these other people rave about it. Tell u what....make it not cartoony and Ill try watching it

Dumb, bombastic, positive, and just a whole lot of fun! With stunning animation, an uber-catchy soundtrack, and a message about the value of ALL human life, this is a must-see for any anime fan who loves epic action paired alongside heroes the viewer can genuinely look up to. With pomp, tons of camp, and a bevy of catchphrases, this is a sure crowd-pleaser that will bring out the inner kid in just about anyone who thinks that animation has lost its soul. It's films like this that show that soul hasn't gone anywhere--it's just hidden, ready to be unlocked any time someone creative enough has a fun or moving story to tell.
