In the trailer, which you can watch above, we see plenty of martial arts; as the streamer notes, the show has captured movement from a range of martial artists across boxing, karate, sumo, wrestling, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu fo💜r extra realism. It certainly shows so far. 

Garōden started out as a series of novels penned by Baku Yumemakura, with the first 13 installments released from 1985 to 2003. A manga adaptation by Jirō Taniguchi followed in 1989 and ran until 1990, with a second adaptation by Keisuke Itagak following in 1996 and running until a hiatus in 2010. Alongside those, there have been prequel and sequel stories, a feature film, and two video games. Netflix's show is the first anime adaptation, however. 

Netflix has had great success with its anime adaptations before – its live-action version of One Piece, for example, was a triumph, with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:One Piece season 2 confirmed. 

Garōden: The Way of the Lone Wolf arrives on Netflix this May 23. For even more, fill out your watchlist with our guide to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best anime shows on Netflix to stream now.
