Garo: The Animation is the collective name of two Japanese anime series that are based on the Garo tokusatsu drama series that occur in the distant past compared to the contemporary settings of the live action series. The first of these series was titled Garo: Honoo no Kokuin in Japan, and it premiered on October 3, 2014. It features a new cast of characters who are mostly unrelated to the characters in the tokusatsu continuity.
A second anime series titled Garo: Guren no Tsuki began airing in October 2015. This second series, which had a premiere event at the 88th Comiket, features character designs from Masakazu Katsura. A film version of the first series, Garo Divine Flame, has also been announced and will be released on Spring 2016.
