GARO: The Carved Seal of Flames (牙狼〈GARO〉-炎の刻印 GARO: Honō no Kokuin?), aka Garo: The Animation in international releases, is an anime within the GARO series made by Studio Mappa, which premiered on October 3, 2014. The anime was written by Yasuko Kobayashi, who previously worked on Attack on Titan and directed by Yuichiro Hayashi. A second anime was announced titled Crimson Moon, which has an unrelated story, continuing the anthology-like tone of the live action series. The show is now available for purchase on iTunes, with Funimation planning on a physical DVD and Bluray video release on April 26, 2016 with a full English dub. This makes it the first entry of the Garo Series to be available for purchase in western countries.
