From the very beginning, Promare becomes a festival of shapes and movements... without ever losing the coherence or the pulse of its story. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 22, 2020

The strongest theme 'Promare' explores is the discrimination of an entire group of people by the government-an extremely timely, familiar, and relevant story, especially for viewers who live in the States and are aware of the current political climate

Promare is composed as a series of climaxes, each one larger, faster, and more colorful than the last, until the audience is lost in the insanity and euphoria of it.

[The] results arrive as though by the seat of the filmmakers' pants. This artistic choice maintains a desire to always have at least one more surprise up their sleeves.

Next-level animation tied to a garbage screenplay.

Promare is in your face like an early morning TV programme for three-year-olds. It demands a certain amount of energy and staying power but if you're a dedicated fan of this kind of animé, you'll find it a treat.

Miraculously, the sensory overload high consistently lasts its almost two-hour runtime.

As delightful as it is demented.

It's a collage simultaneously flat and spacious, abstract and enthralling. Often the frame is so packed with Burnish fire travelling in all directions that one might wonder how the viewer can parse the action at all.

The chemistry between the characters oozes brilliance and makes you hope that there is more to explore within this world.

Full Review | Original Score: 9/10 | Nov 18, 2019

The film is nearly two hours long and passes in what feels like 45 seconds. It is wildly entertaining and blaringly ridiculous, and I want to watch it every night for a week.

For fans, this is everything [Hiroyuki] Imaishi maniacs can ask for: a gonzo DayGlo adventure that will never let up and never leave you bored.

Constantly upstaging itself with each new scene, each performance, and twists and turns in the plot, Promare is going to go down as one of Studio Trigger's finest projects - if not the best.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 30, 2019

Epic anime adventure has frenetic violence, heavy themes.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 27, 2019

Promare feels like one big animation flex, a testament to Studio Trigger's skill and capacity to create endless, nearly-overwhelming eye candy.

Full Review | Sep 24, 2019

The animation in this film is intense, frenetic, crazy, whatever word you want to use but it is also exhilarating.

Full Review | Original Score: 8.5/10 | Sep 24, 2019

Its characters burn bright with stylish designs and fun personalities, but the action is the real scene-stealer.

While the overall tone is pitched to a teen demographic, the creative energy and the execution on display is consistently engaging.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 20, 2019

"Promare" checks all the conventional anime boxes - post-apocalyptic setting, mecha suits and plenty of fan service - but it's still an exciting watch.
