Netflix’s Garouden: The Way of the Lone Wolf Trailer Released

Garouden: The Way of the Lone Wolf is a new hard-hitting fighting anime coming to Netflix later this Spring, and fans can check out the first trailer and poster! Garouden is a series of novels written by Baku Yumemakura that have been released since 1985. They’ve been such a hit that the novels have been adapted into previous manga (one that was even tackled by Baki the Grappler creator Keisuke Itagaki), feature film, and even video game releases. But now it will be making its full anime debut with a new series coming to Netflix in just a few more weeks. 

Netflix has plenty of experience when it comes to fighting anime projects with the likes of Baki the Grappler, Kengan Ashura (which will soon have its own crossover anime with Netflix later this Summer), and much more, and now we’re about to see a new fighter enter the fray with Garouden: The Way of the Lone Wolf. Teasing a main fighter who is trying to constantly hold back the fierce wolf within him before he’s tested against many other powerful and deadly fighters, you can check out the first trailer for Garouden: The Way of the Lone Wolf in the video above and new poster below.
