Promare: Galo-hen

This is the first part of the two-part prequel to Studio Trigger's (first) movie Promare, centering around the character Galo Thymos, the rookie recruit in Promepolis' firefighting unit "Burning Rescue". Story: You get about as much as you'd expect from a 10 minute character prequel - it sets the ideologies Galo and the (typically) crazy setting for the movie nicely though, as you might expect from Trigger. Art: Since this is only a prequel, I think there wasn't put as much effort into the art here as compared to the full movie - it's still your recognizable Studio Trigger animation though, with their contrastful color palettes and quirky characterdesigns. Sound: If you've seen some other Trigger productions, you will notice a similar feel to this prequel. It was especially nice to hear some voice actors from Kill la Kill reappear, as well as some teases of the soundtrack from Hiroyuki Sawano, which will definetly impress you if you decide to watch the movie (especially this short's outro song). Character: Not much can be established in 10 minutes, but as mentioned above, you get a small glimpse on the characters of this movie, mainly the firefighting protagonist Galo. Enjoyment: I watched the two prequel shorts after having seen the movie, and still enjoyed them as they gave me more info to what happened before the main events of the movie. Overall: If you're planning to watch the movie, you might want to check out these two 10 minute shorts (this one focussing on Galo, as well as the second one focussing on the burnish resistance's protagonist Lio), for some hype and to get you into the movie!
