Another good episode this week. I knew where the story was going pretty early on, but it was still executed well and had a good emotional punch at the end. We got some more advancement on the main plot, too, with the introduction of what I assume is our main villain (someone Kamen Rider fans will recognize and likely appreciate the irony of him playing a "Dragon Knight").

Okay, I'm going to call this right now: there is something weird going on with Alice. I thought at first that she was going to be this show's Kaoru, but a lot of her actions this week don't make sense if she's a normal, baseline civvy. She jumped down a friggin' well and landed without a scratch, for fuck's sake. Combine that with her tendency to approach first the Horror party and now Goro-chan with a solid stance rather than fleeing or panicking and I'm convinced she's not a normal girl. I don't know what she is, but I'm sure she's something special.
Anyway, it was another good episode, even with some wobbly CGI in the Zero/Ryuki fight. I was so happy to see Rekka again, even though I knew she was going to be in this series. It's kind of amazing to look back and see how subtly she creeped into being one of the major players in the Kouga generation. I feel like she's finally passed Jabi as the most prominent Makai Priest of this era. |

Episode 4: Continuing to love this series so much right now. Alice definitely has some sort of mystery going on here. Loved Rekka and Rei together because she is one of my favorite Priests and one of my favorite knights too. Can't wait to see if the egg hatches because that is going to be one hell of a Dragon. The Dragon Knight is kick ass right now and I hope we get to learn why he hates humans. Zero vs the Dragon Knight was super sweet and even if the CGI a little wonky it's still miles better than GARO has done in the past. Now if they can only get the CGI to look like how the real armored suit does we'd be in business. Can't wait for more.

Now we're getting into the background of the story behind the Dragon Knight, which isn't a title like I originally thought. And I kinda like that particular revelation if I had t be honest. It was good to see Rekka again, and I like the bit of banter between her and Rei. And I guess we know why Alice is going to have to stick around Rei now. At least it's a little better than one of the original descriptions why she hanging around at least, about her fainting after hearing Rekka mention the Dragon Egg or something like that. And I'm not sure how I feel about the idea that Kagome has her own "Navi", at least it didn't go "Hey! Listen!" lol.
On another side note I had to watch the beginning one more time because the statue in the distance looked a bit like the ones we saw in The one who Shines in the Darkness. Granted it probably the one we saw in the preview but at the time I was watching it thinking, "Does this take place in the same city?" |

So we watched episodes 3 and 4 last night. Except for Alice's continued lack of emotion (seriously, does she not have an acting coach to help her in this show?) and having Rekka back, they were good. My g/f got annoyed though because when the sister pulled out the fairy I kept screaming, "Hey, Listen! Hey, Listen! Hey, Listen! Hey, Listen!" repeatedly. the choreography and music continue to impress. In fact, the music was down right amazing in these two episodes. I do have the say that the gun horror fight felt really short to me. Not Ryuga short, but short enough. What the bar owner said about Rei having two armors makes a lot of sense and also explains Kouga's lack of enthusiasm (and why lunch with Kaoru seemed to be just as important as marriage). The Dragon Knight was pretty badass, but can someone tell me what the kanji read when he transformed since Over-Time didn't sub it?

Episode 3 was sad. 😭
Episode 4 was awesome. Loved seeing Rekka back in action. And hey, her and Zero should hook up. She'd keep him grounded and he'd get her to loosen up a bit. Not to mention how strong the Makai Knight or Priest would be conceived from those two. |

Episode 5 was surprisingly uploaded rather quickly this week. Shout Out to Over-Time 😉
More of a filler episode this week. Not really anything happening besides a realization of a need to build a cage. |

Another fantastic episode this week. I like how they found a way to balance giving us some backstory for Alice, a standalone weekly story, and some continuing development with the Alice as key story. Mix in some great action scenes and crazy-ass CGI creatures and this series is continuing to be a fantastic distillation of everything I love about Garo. Looking forward to the Mari vs. Kitazaki battle next week.

Just finished episode 3. I'm going to go eat a tub of ice cream now to help with these feels.

Interesting episode I guess. We get a bit more of Alice's backstory. Kinda felt a bit let down that she knew about horrors only because she was studying about the mysterious egg from her youth. But I guess it makes sense she was a n outsider who something that attracted her attention from an early age, I was hoping for something with a little more oomph though. Not sure what exactly but a little more than "Found it in a book". Did like the plot with the statue though and the twist at the end. Although he has to protect her now it is a little weird seeing Rei going a bit down the route Kouga did. Not sure if him and Alice are going to be the next Kouga and Karou but maybe it'll let Rei open up his secondary armor, so to speak, at some point.
