The first good action anime movie worth watching is 2019’s Promare. Promare places particular emphasis on story and characterization, even by Studio Trigger’s standards, but Promare more than makes up for the lack of depth in its writing with incredible visuals, animation, and fight scenes, all with a level of bombastic flare that remains among Studio Trigger’s best films. Essentially, the film is a celebration of everything Studio Trigger had done up to that point, both in terms of story and visual aesthetic, and that makes for a great film and one of their best projects to date.
