Zero Dragon Blood discussion
This one kind of slipped up on me. I knew it was coming this year and I'd even heard it was going to be airing this week, but I'd completely forgotten about it when the sub popped up at Over-Time. I was a little disappointed when this didn't air immediately after Makai Retsuden, but if the first episode is any indication it was totally worth the wait.
There's a certain tone and atmosphere I associate with the best of Garo. It's something that usually means that Keita Amemiya is directly involved with the series and it's something that I honestly haven't felt since Makai no Hana. Dragon Blood has it: this feels like old school Garo. The mood and atmosphere are there, the amazing action scenes are there, and the cool and badass hero is there. I like the Ryuga shows, but if I'm being honest, this is the kind of show that I like best out of Garo. I went into this with some apprehension after how Zero's last miniseries ended up, but if this episode is any indication we are in for a treat. |
One episode in and so far so good. Just a couple of teases for the over all plot for the series, once it gets going that is, hopefully we'll get a bit ore of Alice's background as the series progresses. And of course Rei was Rei so that was to be expected lol.

This one caught me by surprise. 😀 I had a thought telling me to check in on Over-Time. Because I'm currently uninterested in nothing that they're subbing right now. But lo and behold I saw this little gem.
For some reason I thought this would be coming out around Spring. But luckily that wasn't the case. Good to see Zero kicking ass again. Loved the first episode, I thought that woman was going to turn out to be a Makai Priestess working with Zero. But that would have been to similar to Garo the second coming. Can't wait to see how season two of the Zero series is going to turn out. Wonder if he's going to have any cameos? 🤔 |
Oh my god, I am excited for a Garo series again. This episode brought back the atmosphere, the choreography, the cinematography, and the music. My only complaint was the CGI blood and predictable plot. That aside though, this was great. I'm looking forward to more, but I hope they don't overstay their welcome and forget their plot by episode 10 like Raiga's season did.

Man, I really liked this. Black Blood was... ok but didn't leave a big impression. The first episode of Dragon Blood was much stronger and really gave off that Garo style that's been missing from some of the more recent Garo stuff. Excited to see more!
I'm glad Rei got rid of that fluff that was stuck to his chin. It wasn't a good look. Oh! I liked that the timer was onscreen when Rei transformed. Remember the time limit thing? |
The first episode was just totally badass. I missed Rei so much and this was just so kickass and well done. I am intrigued with the mystery of the egg and who was that at the end too. I've also missed the GARO series too so this was a great return for it.

Love the Timer being there, to keep them honest.

I enjoyed this new series, even if it's predictable (but what is not predictable in toku shows ?) I hope the characters will flesh this out.
As usual I cringed a bit on the "let's burn one big chunk of our CGI budget in the first episode to make it über cool" move, so I expect the following will be less impressive. |
I just started GARO (got that Maylasian Season 1-4 box) and, with arbitrary differences, this seems essentially the same (not 100% sold on GARO). It's beautiful, though!
