!!THE VIDEO CONTAINS SPOILER!!
The film premiered in Japan on May 24 in 200 theaters, and ranked 8th in its opening weekend. Currently, viewers can receive a serial code card that links to a brand new 10-minute anime “Galohen” (Galo Chapter). The first bonus will be available until June 6th. A second bonus card with a serial code linked to a similar video from the prequel “Lio-hen” (Lio Chapter) will begin being distributed to viewers on June 7.
In the film's story, 30 years ago, a cataclysmic event destroyed half the world in a fire and caused a mutation that created a new race of people called the Burnish. Burnish is able to create and control fire. The film centers on members of the “Burning Rescue” fire squad, who put out fires caused by Burnish. Burning Rescue's newcomer is Galo, a hot-headed man who uses “Matoi-Tech,” named after the “matoi” flags that Edo period firefighting units used. Galo's meeting with Lio, leader of a Burnish terrorist group called Mad Burnish, begins the story.
