The new GARO show started airing (official name seems to be "Heir to Steel Armor").
The first episode aired yesterday in Japan and they posted in on youtube today. I don't know if it's just the first or if they plan to upload the whole show. https://www.youtube.com/@GAROofficial/videos Episode was okay. It's what you would expect for a Ryuga show start. Cool opening and ending theme but not quite as epic as i would expect. They associated Yuki Kajiura to JAM Project for this, and while I love both I don't know if I like the mix of them. If the show is 20+ episodes and not 12-ish I suppose we'll have a legit JAM Project song as the opening so I'll wait. Fight scenes are still cool as usual and I think they decided to have less CGI this time ? the horrors have a different feel, and I think that's because they are more "human-like" than in other shows. We got a woman with horns and a yeti/bigfoot guy with a hammer instead of the usual black demons or monsters with weird forms, shapes or puppet like designs. I prefer it that way in terms of fight choreography, with a suit actor inside the horror. But it's true it removes the hell-ish feel the horrors were giving before. EDIT : completely slipped my mind but seems like Shun Nishime (KR Ghost) is a part of this as well. as a minor role (I guess ?) Last edited by Omnikaiser; 01-12-2024 at 10:07 AM.. |

Oh man, I have missed this. Cool action sequences, horror (lower case h) stories, Makai Knights and Priests doing cool shit, crazy monster designs. This is the Garo I love and it is so good to have it back.
I like the more grounded Horror suits. I'm sure we'll get more CGI eldritch abominations later, but for now I like the practical costumes and how well they worked in the fight scenes. Being able to see the actors' eyes underneath the masks adds a nice touch that reminds you these used to be humans. Plus they aren't the generic Horror suit, which I've seen enough of by this point. Hoping we get at least an explanation of where Rian is, even if she doesn't appear in the show. She was a big part of the Ryuga timeline and it would feel weird if they don't even acknowledge her. Cool that the show is doing at least one episode via YouTube, would not complain if the whole series gets the Ultraman treatment. That said, the translation is a little rough in places and I'm not a fan of capitalizing all of the PROPER NOUNS. |

Could see it till now due to work. Episode 1 was neat, kinda typical for Garo but after years of absence, that's 100% the point.
The fight choreography is good, I liked how Ryuga's reintroduction was more "Saejima timeline"-ish with him doing most of it unarmored and really only armoring up for what he intends to be the final blow. The introduction of Creacity was a little over the top, but they at least immediately explain why, so fair enough. I don't know if they're gonna release the rest of the Eps on youtube or not, but I'll try to keep up with the series if I can. Also noticed they apparently subbed the episode in Spanish and Portuguese, cuz people in Brazil and Mexico were thanking them in the comments. So that's cool. |

Watched it last night. And holy crap was that fun to watch. So far I'm loving the Horror designs hopefully they can keep it up. I'm looking forward to seeing if this new Knight and Ryuga develop a Kouga / Rei type of relationship or if they go somewhere else with it.
On a side note does anybody know if the sub's for this episode was a one time thing or if the entire series is going to be like this. Because if every EP is subtitled then somebody else figured out how large the global fan base better than Toei. Last edited by scikaiju; 01-13-2024 at 10:53 PM.. |

I'm glad that we have a real-ass Garo show again. I liked this first episode, it ticks all the boxes of things I want in an episode of Garo so a good start to the show I guess! |
