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...).

Liking what I see so far. Except the armor, looks weird to me this time around.

I agree, armor looks weird. I wonder what the "Dark Knight" of this series will look like. I also hope this gets better! First episode was ok. Nothing mind blowing.

Watched it. Jury's very much out.
This just didn't feel particularly Garo-ish for me or at best, someone trying to "do" Garo, not doing it right and thus ending up with something that feels a little more generic as a result. And in a minor detail that will bug the shit out of me for the next 20-ish episodes - Raiko's sword is a Katana? I always kinda liked that element of Garo's designs - sword-wielding Knights never seemed to use Katanas. The only exception being Crow. |

As for the show itself I'll give it a few more episodes before i make a opinion
Otherwise i did explain on one of the other garo threads that the purpose of the garo anime is not to give us another main garo series but its purpose is to eclxpand the lore and show little garo history

GARO Guren No Tsuki Episode 2: This was a very intriguing episode learning more about Raikou's past. I enjoy how different his back story is from the others (they do that well with every GARO.) that he was chosen and found in the gigantic GARO Form. Seimei I am having mixed feelings about because of her snobbish personality but she is very caring with how she saved Raikou and wants to make sure he lives so she is an interesting character. I liked the Parallels between the Horror and Raikou and how he had doubts because he thought he might have killed the guy's father when he was a giant Beast. I am agreeing the animation on the suit looks kind of out of place and not as good as it did in the last series but hopefully it will get better over time. I am enjoying this a lot though I think it's a lot better in the beginning than the last anime series though.

I guess Hulu is getting these faster, because both episode 1 and 2 are up already. I watched the first one and... I don't know. I liked it better than the first cartoon's premiere, but it still didn't do a lot for me. More than anything, I spent most of it being distracted by some of the design choices like Raikou's hair, the kid's eyebrows, and Seimei's highly questionable battle gear. The story wasn't bad, though, and I liked the overall tone and setting a lot more than the last series. I'll definitely give this a few more episodes, at least.

GARO Guren No Tsuki Episode 3: Well I can sum this episode up into three things: 1. Seimei annoys the crap out of me, if she doesn't improve I'll figure out somehow to manage through this show. 2. Raikou is awesome, I love how he's willing to help people against corrupt humans to save people. Though I'm with him I don't like that his powers are sealed but there might be more to it than just Seimei wanting to keep Raikou close and protect him. 3. If they pull the whole Alfonso/Leon both being GARO because they are related storyline again with Raikou/Yorinobu that will upset me because at the end it seems like they have some mystery connection right now because the Golden Armor is supposed to run through his family. I hope it's something different because that really worked in the last anime because of how Leon and Alfonso were. I hope I'm just getting overworked for nothing here because I believe they can be creatively better than that. I hope this gets better but I'm willing to give this leniency because it's GARO and that the first Anime took about 5 episodes to get good and 12 episodes to be amazing. Well I can't wait for more as long as it picks up in the story.

Episode 4: This episode barely did anything, unless Kaguya comes back it was a pretty boring episode. The action was pretty good but the armor doesn't look that great. This needs some help and soon.
