10 celebrities send messages of support for the animated film "GARO the Movie -DIVINE FLAME-"!

Hiroshi KAMISHINA (Animation Director, President of Studio Live) <Director of "HUNTER x HUNTER" and "Majin Tantei: NEOGUCHI NEURO
Love between parents and children, love between family members, love.... This is a work of superb entertainment that combines love with breathtaking action. Director Hayashi's ability is demonstrated without regret! A must-see!

Hiroyuki Takei (Manga artist), author of "Shaman King" and character designer of "GARO" (GARO: The Mark of Fire)
What impressed me the most when I saw the movie version was the sound and action.
The way the action was presented was overwhelming, and because of the different approach from the manga, I felt like I was going into a realm that I had never ventured before. Emma's action scenes were especially impressive, and I could not take my eyes off her "butt".
Leon has also grown up and become much better looking than in the TV series. The sound effects were also excellent, and there were several scenes where I was swallowed up by the sound pressure and was pushed over the edge by the power of the sound. The movie version was a great finish, and I am sure it will continue to grow, as they are really taking on new challenges every time. I have great expectations for the future.

Yoshiaki Tabata (manga author and scriptwriter) <"Comic Master J", "Akumetsu", "Ninja Slayer", "Young Blackjack", etc., manga scriptwriter> "I' m very happy that the staff is having a good time with this film .

DIVINE FLAME" gives the impression that the staff is having fun with their limiters off! As someone who lives on the fringes of the industry, I know how rare it is for such a situation to arise. So I am happy to be able to see such a powerful work.

Masei Nakayama (Actor) <"GARO" -Makai no Hana- as Raikage Saeshima, "GARO -Kouren no Tsuki" as Raikaku

Leon, who was a boy in the TV series, has become a dependable golden knight, and he looks even cooler as an older brother. The "GARO" fans' must-see "scene" is back in the anime, so I hope you will enjoy the movie to the end.
And after you enjoy the movie version, I hope you will watch the live-action GARO series as well!

Masato Hayase (Manga Artist) <Original story of "Genma Taisen", character design for "Kamen Rider" series

I saw the movie "GARO -DIVINE FLAME-"! It's been a long time since I've seen such a service-oriented theatrical work.
There was never a dull moment.
The "GARO world" unfolds in such a dizzying and vivid way that if you let your guard down for a moment, you might get left behind.
Even if you have not seen the TV series "Mark of Fire," the worldview will fascinate you, and the contents will make fans say, "I see! The content of the film is what fans have come to expect from the series.
The main character, who looks a bit like Cyborg 009, is also great!

Rei Fujita (Actor) <"ZERO -BLACK BLOOD-" as Zero Ryoumura

When I heard that it was going to be made into an anime, I thought, "It's finally here! I thought, "It's finally here! GARO" was originally suited for animation, and I was looking forward to seeing how the world view and possibilities of "GARO" would expand because the actions and settings would be possible only in an anime.
Like "GARO," the theme of "GARO" is love and a mission that is passed down from generation to generation, so there are many overlapping aspects that I enjoy. Also, the script is written by Yasuko Kobayashi, the same actress who wrote the script for "ZERO -BLACK BLOOD-," in which I also appeared, so I think "I love this development!

Mitsuru Hongo (Animation director) <Director of "World Trigger," "Tenkai Knight" and "REIDEEN

I had only seen the first few "GARO" live-action series and had not seen the animation series of this work. When I was invited to the preview screening, I participated out of curiosity as an anime lover, wondering what it would be like. I was invited to the preview screening, and as an anime lover, I attended it out of curiosity, but during the screening, I stretched out my back and watched it.
This work is full of the Galapagos-style hand-drawn action that is so characteristic of "made-in-Japan" animation, and it is a theatrical animation that could only be made in Japan. I recommend seeing it in the theater.

Chuck Mori (Illustrator) <"Guru~Mi~" >.
Congratulations on the 10th anniversary of GURUMI! As a theatrical animation, DIVINEFLAME naturally features powerful battle scenes, but it also beautifully depicts everything from single-minded love to family love, and the absolute theme of "protecting the ones you love" runs through it from beginning to end. I've never been a father before, but somehow I got emotionally involved with Hermann ...... because of his hair color and beard? I want to be such a nice, bastard, strong and reliable man.

Akiteru Himekawa (Manga Artist) <"The Legend of Zelda
This is the quintessence of Japan Animation, its underlying strength!
I could not take my eyes off the breathtaking battle action that brings out the best of two-dimensional design! Cheers to the enthusiasm with which they dared to take on the difficult cavalry battle.
I was also drawn in by the passion of the fighting characters!
Leon, who has grown up a bit, has grown up and become a strong man! But he is still no match for his father, is he? I too will follow the example of my father Herman and have the courage to continue to fight! Eh? Fight even if you die? (Laughs)
