In the wake of reconstruction, the “Burnish” are considered second-class citizens, and firefighters are specially trained to take them down. PROMARE takes place on a post-apocalyptic Earth, after a strange event caused part of the population to gain flame-manipulation powers and the ensuing chaos caused society to crumble. It’s also easily TRIGGER’s most accessible work outside of the kid-friendly Little Witch Academia, with their gorgeous animation work on full display and relatively little exploitation of the film’s female cast.
And Studio TRIGGER, best known for lovable hot mess Kill la Kill, recently answered that yearning with PROMARE, which has exploded past all expectations to become the highest-grossing anime film of 2019.
Apparently there’s nothing an audience loves more than a sexy firefighter.
