Garm Wars: The Last Druid is a 2014 English-language Japanese-Canadian live action/animated science fiction adventure film directed by Mamoru Oshii. It is also the first English-language film by Oshii, who is famous for his Japanese-language animated works including Ghost in the Shell and Urusei Yatsura. The film tells the story of three soldiers who abandon a genocidal war between tribes to seek answers about why their world has been abandoned by its god, and why the tribes were made to fight each other in the first place.

Production

According to director Mamoru Oshii, production of Garm Wars began as early as the mid-1990s under the name G.R.M. The Record of Garm War, with planning for the film beginning shortly after the release of Ghost in the Shell. A combination of the 1996 and 1998 tech reels was screened at film festivals in 2001.

The film premiered at the Tokyo International Film Festival of October 2014, as part of the festival's Special Screening Section. Oshii also featured the film at Lucca Comics & Games of 2015, where he received the Movie Comic and Games award. Arc Productions earned the rights to the film in August 2015, releasing it in U.S. theaters and on demand on October 2, 2015.

On January 28, 2016, Toei Animation announced that it would be creating a Japanese dub of the film, under the title Garm Wars. The Japanese release had an all-star production team with Studio Ghibli director Toshio Suzuki as producer, with Gen Urobuchi, creator of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Psycho Pass and the Fate/Zero anime writing the Japanese script. The dub was released on May 20, 2016.
