GAROUDEN: THE WAY OF THE LONE WOLF Trailer Brings Fightin’ Men Back To The Anime Front!
I’m currently in the midst of a serious anime catch-up on Netflix nowadays. Martial arts and fighting shows are par for the course here in my consumption, and come May 23, the syllabus will include Atsushi Ikariya’s new series, Garouden: The Way Of The Lone Wolf.
On the run from his troubled past, Juzo is forced into competing in a deadly underground fighting tournament. Skilled in the respected martial art Takemiya-ryu, Juzo must navigate a path filled with formidable foes and his personal demons — all while dealing with a bounty of three million yen on his head and a detective on his trail.
The show is based on Baku Yumemakura’s serial novel, and in its framework, enhances its fight action through capturing the movements of real martial artists via varying styles. Ryota Takeuchi heads up the V.O. cast which also lists Tetsu Inada, Shunsuke Takeuchi, Rintaro Nishi, Tessho Genda, Aya Endo, Ryota Suzuki, Hidenobu Kiuchi, Junya Enoki, Yoshimasa Hosoya, Junichi Suwabe, Kenjiro Tsuda, Shiro Saito, Maki Izawa, Yume Miyamoto and Yuhko Kaida.
