Netflix has released the trailer for a new action-packed anime series titled Garouden: The Way of the Lone Wolf. As you’ll see, the trailer teases some brutally violent fight sequences.
The project is based on a series of novels written by Baku Yumemakura that launched back in 1985. Over the years, the novels have been adapted into manga, a feature film, and even video games. This will be the first time that it gets the anime treatment.
In the series, “On the run from a past crime, Juzo Fujimaki is blackmailed into joining an illicit tournament and has to face top martial artists in deadly match-ups.”
Juzo is trying to hold back the savage wolf within him, but he eventually unleashes the fury and fiercely beats the hell out of those other fights that he faces.
Atsushi Ikariya is directing the series and also designed the characters with Momoko Kawai for NAZ with Daisuke Mataga serving as assistant director. Sadayuki Murai worked on the scripts. Takeshi Ueda will be performing the anime’s opening theme titled “Fight & PRIDE” and the opening theme titled “CRY BOY.”
The anime stars Ryota Takeuchi as Juzo Fujimaki, Tetsu Inada as Bunshichi Tanba, Shunsuke Takeuchi as Tsutomu Himekawa, Rintaro Nishi as Shozan Matsuo, Tessho Genda as Soichiro Izumi, Aya Endo as Saeko Izumi, Ryota Suzuki as Ryoji Kubo, Hidenobu Kiuchi as Fumihito Tamon, Junya Enoki as Tomoyuki Hikita, Yoshimasa Hosoya as Nyoze Carlos Nagato, Junichi Suwabe as Ichiro Shino, Kenjiro Tsuda as Oleg Zaytsev, Shiro Saito as Ranbo, Maki Izawa as Gunso, Yume Miyamoto as Chisaki Shino, and Yuko Kaida as Miyuki Koiso.
