Wow, what a great start. Raiga seems to have Kouga's badassery mixed with Kaoru's charming personality. I loved the jokes he made to the Horror of the Week. The fight was really nice, especially since it was a real suit and not a CGI one again. Another fantastic thing about the episode was how much it felt like a Garo episode. It had that horror suspense feel to it while being a hero show. THis is what I have been waiting to see since the first season. I really hope the entire show stays on this path and gets better as it goes along.

May I ask where you got this interview? A source please. I think its pretty obvious he is the heir of Kouga. They have it posted in multiple places online with references backing it up. Also you wouldn't happen to have inside knowledge on why the original cast is no longer apart of Garo? If you have anything you can PM me if you don't want to share publicly. I reallyneed to know the reason behind why my favorite and epic original cast is not in Garo anymore. Thank you. |

I just joined this site. Garo and Kouga are my favorite show and character of all time.

Interviews with Amemiya and others can be found in other issues of Hyper Hobby, Hobby Japan, and Uchusen. For other information watch streams from Niconico Garo Channel, http://ch.nicovideo.jp/garo and Family Gekijou's Garo staff talk corner "Makai Bar" and similiar programs. http://www.fami-geki.com/detail/index.php?fami_id=00823 Konishi (Kouga) talked about why he left Garo in one of the episodes. Don't remember which one. Most important part is to follow Amemiya's own blog, and also staff's blogs and tweets. Last edited by DrillBIT; 04-14-2014 at 02:26 PM.. |

Aren't all of these are in Japanese? Anything in English or at least subbed?
And you say Konishi wanted to leave? If you know the details could you be so kind to tell me. I don't speak or understand Japanese. Maybe pm me if you want. |

Good second episode. We got a bit more of the overstory, met a new character, and found out what this season's hundred days timer is. Pretty cool Horror this week, too - the sunglasses trick was cool and creepy.
I'm really liking Raiga. He's got a good balance between seriousness and friendliness - very much a cross between his parents, canonical or otherwise. Crow I'm a little less sold on. He's suspiciously obsequent. I don't trust him and I don't like what an asshole he was towards Mayuri. Speaking of Mayuri, every second she's not wearing that hat makes me sad. |

Flower 02.
It just sorta felt like a poor man's GARO again, the kind of remake where someone understands the look of a the thing but not really the feel or the message. Maybe it's unnecessary to complain about good visuals, but at times it also feels like the show has budget to burn and is just adding effects for the sake of adding effects. For all of GARO's flash, it was a series that knew how to use it's effects to tell a story, and set a mood, it was high concept, but not at the expense of anything else... this, this isn't that clever. Raiga was pretty fun in the first episode but the longer he was on screen for in this episode the worst an actor he came across. He's no Kouga, and at least Kouga was intentionally stiff, this guy is like a plank with a bad haircut. He is more enjoyable in the fight sequences, but only because I'm always amazed by how badass someone who looks like that much of a dork can be. He's like Alata on crack. And I certainly like him better than "Oh God the effects on my eyes make me look so distractingly weird why is my magic armour like a goth prostitutes uniform oh yeah this is GARO and Japan lol women" or "Lispy McWell it's GARO so we need at least one character who is an utter dick so it may as well be me, fuck it." Eurgh.

Not a bad episode but nothing extraordinary. I'm getting a better sense of Raiga's personality and I'm interested to see Mayuri's story arc play out.
