Promare Reviews

Dec 18, 2024

Promare has some of the most flawless and beautiful animations I have seen this year with an incredible soundtrack to boot. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie falls short, unlike its runtime. Promare goes on for too long, but the pacing and character development goes way too fast. Characters and seemingly plot relevant items are introduced in grandiose ways and then never elaborated on. They could have done so much more with a shorter run time if they didn't introduce something new every five minutes. They end up pulling a literal deus ex machina out of nowhere and after that, things just get boring and repetitive. Recommendation: watch with friends and drink anytime you see the twink from the cover.

It looked bad and didn't enjoy the story very much

More fun than a load of coloured strobe lights flashing in your face. The animation is far too digital for me.

"Your drill is the drill that will pierce the heav... no wait, wrong anime." An original property from director Hiroyuki Imaishi and writer Kazuki Nakashima (former collaborators on both Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill), Promare is a continuation of the duo's self-aware production design - a lot of conventional anime elements (big mech suits, nice clean lines between the good guys and the bad guys, some supernatural worldbuilding) offset by some legitimately grandiose animation and fight scenes. Instead of a conventional narrative, every scene essentially builds up another climax before growing the stakes exponentially the next time characters clash, which again is par for the course for this team. What really differentiates the film is the animation style, which takes cues from much of the production team's earlier work as well but continues to refine it with a vibrant color palette and a deliberately rough edge; sometimes you'll get beautifully fluid animation paired right alongside deliberately shoddy or jagged individual frames, usually for laughs. When was the last time you saw pink used as a primary color in an anime? Another interesting aspect of the film is how it uses simple design, including big mech fights and a deliberately idiotic protagonist giving generic speeches and constantly calling out names for his attacks, to contrast against its relatively solid themes of discrimination and ecological collapse. For fans of the genre, it's a film that can be enjoyed both for its light satire of the many high-action/simple plot projects that have come out over the past 40 years, but also as a very well-animated action anime in its own right, though perhaps the feature film length doesn't let the audience get in touch with the characters quite as well as they've come to expect from Nakashima and the simplicity may start to wear thin after a while. And to be fair, there totally is a drill in there, Gurren Lagann fans rejoice. (3/5)

Surprisingly Epic, Visually/Beautifully Animated. And Fights scenes that are Breathtaking. Promare is Outstanding.

If you loved Kill la Kill give this a watch. The visuals are an absolute delight to consume every second of the way. The story wasn't anything new, but the animation is what really set this movie apart for me. I was pleasantly surprised.

Some of the most fun you'll ever have watching a movie. This is one where you sit back, relax, and let the animation take you away.

Man this anime burns. I have been wanting to watch this movie for a long time. My god the animation was legit god tier. U cannot get bored when there is so many vibrant colors and moving pieces for almost 2 hours straight. It's beautiful and exciting from start to finish. There wasn't a any slow or dull moments. It's amazing that I watched it while lying down, so I felt pretty sleepy. But the reckless pacing and fire animation actually kept my eyes wide opened. The story was typical, and the villain was very obvious. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but towards the end I realized the story didn't make a lot of sense. The villain's motivation was actually justified. The backstory behind the premise didn't even feel complete. The characters were meh as well. They were all straightforward without any unique quirk that I can invest on. Overall, it's a mediocre story saved by incredible animation. 6.5-7/10

Amazing visuals and soundtrack, and both the japanese and english voice acting are on point. If you want a fun and beautiful movie to watch with friends, this is it. That said, I feel like Trigger really wanted to say something more with the themes of this film, but was a little toothless in how it ended. It's a little gross having the problem be "these people are different and we don't understand them" and having the solution be "we can make them 'normal'."

That was by far the corniest and worst anime ever. The dialog was horrific and the animation style looked like it was done by a team of five-year-olds. It was hard to finish and makes you regret the time lost viewing any of it.

Insane, over-the-top thrill ride. None of it made any sense, but it was way too much fun.

This movie is ridiculous amounts of fun. It's fast-paced, colorful action driven by Galo Thymos, the hot-blooded Burning Rescue recruit. The movie charts a reasonable enough path from fire-fighting to giant robots. Trigger is an off-shoot of Gainax, so giant robots have to figure in somewhere.

I admit I am biased, as Promare is brought to us by my all-time favorite anime company, Studio Trigger (Kill La Kill, Gurren Lagann), but I adored this movie from start to finish. Promare is Studio Trigger at its finest and fastest, starting with a zany but plausible premise filled out bombastic characters that wear their hearts on their sleeves, and embody an unextinguishable enthusiasm for life and an indefatigable hope and determination to live for a brighter future. Promare accelerates at breakneck speed through the expanding scale of the story that Studio Trigger is known for, achieving multiple seasons of story development and conflict escalation in less than two hours, punctuated the entire time with entertaining characters, a pumping soundtrack, and a uniquely gorgeous visual style and animation that I would place as the best I've ever seen, alongside Demon Slayer. If you like crazy stories, epic fast-past combat, flying headbutts, or gorgeous animations, you won't regret watching Promare. My only complaint is that I can't spend more time in this universe with these characters.
