The first episode of the new anime has aired, so please feel free to discuss the series here!
(Yes, technically not toku but it's still going here)

... Eh... no. This is not Toku just because it's based on Toku, its anime. We the topic in here for conveniences’ sake, but it's definitely not Toku Haven't watched the episode yet, but after the last Garo anime I will watch it with my expectations set at the absolute minimum. |

It's here simply to keep all the Garo discussion in one place, just as we'd most likely due if any other tokusatsu were to get some sort of anime spin off.

I'm going to wait a week until it pops up on Hulu. Not exactly in a big hurry to see this after how the first series went.

GARO The Crimson Moon Episode 1: This was an interesting start to a new season of GARO. I enjoyed this episode a lot more than the first episode of Honoo No Kokuin. Raikou is an enjoyable main character and I love Seimei too. I think that the bigger cast of this show will help this series out in the beginning. I am intrigued with Raikou and having Zaruba being turned to stone and that he can't stay in the armor as long as others could. It definitely has mystery and intrigue to it. Also the villain seems more interesting than Mendoza was in the last series so that's a plus. Well it's nice to have any form of GARO on right now. I can't wait for more.

Was a much stronger opening than the first series, but at the same time didn't feel as "Garo" as before. I guess that's the problem with setting things in Feudal Japan - it kinda just lumps it in with all the other fantasy genre anime set then and animated there isn't a whole lot that sets it apart.
Seimei is completely the star of this show though. Despite having a personality Raikou is largely uninteresting, the kid hanging around with him is going to get grating really fast. Seimei is an absolute blast though, kinda wish this whole show was just about her. CGI is possibly worse than before, since now it doesn't have the strength of a unique Garo suit.

To be fair they got rid of the Unique GARO suit halfway through the season in the first one to go back to the iconic one. Though I wouldn't mind if they created more of a Samurai looking armor for either the secondary knight or an upgrade form for Raikou. I like it as a fantasy Anime and as a GARO series because I'm not watching one of either of those right now so it works for me. Though I will totally agree that Seimei definitely helps this show.

And that was my biggest complaint of what was otherwise a significantly better half. The flawed Leo suit was far more interesting that the standard armour. Just as Ryuga is more unique wearing tainted armour than he is wearing gold.

The initial version of Leon's Garo armor, then Alfonso's version of it, and Ryuga's "Lost Shine" and "Shou" forms make me wonder if they're starting to try and make all the various Garos a little more distinct from each other, other than just eye colour.
I doubt we're gonna get Fruity Garo anytime soon, but I have been curious as to why we've had variations like that recently. I'm currently downloading the first episode now (guessing Funimation still doesn't want my british money), so I shall reserve judgement until I see it. Hoping for a stronger start than Honoo no Kokuin (what is it with most recent shows having a sub-par first half? ToQger did it, Drive did it...). |
