In a surprise move we’ve just gotten word from San Diego Comic Con 2016 that Funimation has officially obtained licensing rights for a theatrical release of Shin Godzilla! For western branding purposes the film has been refereed to as Godzilla Resurgence previously.

Opening July 29th in Japan, the brainchild of Hideaki Anno (creator of the prolific Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise) Shin Godzilla sees the largest and possibly most horrific version ever of the iconic monster destroy Japan once again. This bit of licensing news is a huge win for fans who feared there may not be a release of the film in the west. Presumably this theatrical release would be a limited engagement as previous Funimation efforts for Attack on Titan & Dragonball Z films have been.

We’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available in the coming weeks!

FUNIMATION summarizes the story of Garo – The Animation as follows:

A long time ago in the kingdom of Valiante, humans shared the world with Horrors—monsters who feed on humans with weakness in their hearts. Desperate to put an end to the Horrors’ reign, the King allowed his advisor Mendoza to launch a witch hunt targeting the magic users who had sworn to protect humanity from evil.

One-by-one the famed Makai Knights and Alchemists were cut down by Mendoza and his men. That is, until a young Makai Knight named León inherited the golden armor of Garo and with it, the power to save the kingdom. But unlike the other Makai Knights who fight to protect humanity, León is young, reckless, and driven by his desire to avenge his mother’s death at Mendoza’s hands. How can an immature Golden Knight who fights for the wrong reasons hope to protect anyone?

Garo – The Animation Season One Part One English dub will release on DVD and Blu-Ray on April 26th. This will be a great chance for fans who are unfamiliar with the Garo franchise to get to know one of the more popular tokusatsu series with older audiences.
