Oh good, managed to find this thread again despite it being buried.
So I ended up binging 2 to 4 and then watched 5 and 6 as they aired. Still very much intrigued by this messed up Virtual Reality Game that's going on. There seems to be hints at the end goal here and this game is definitely not made with any righteous intent. Needless to say, Episode 6 caught me off guard with what it did at the end, was not expecting that. Will say though I continue to love Versus Road for making the basic Horror's extremely scary. At first I thought "Oh they got techno bits cause it's a Virtual Reality game, cute haha" and then the most recent episode comes along and says that they've got limiters on them and then I'm like. "Oh no that is not a fashion statement, that's weighted training gear." |

Kuon oh Kuon..
A Good boy who didn't know his goal. And of couse he is very lucky can stand until this stage. I like how they show how desperate Kuon is. Hope we can have good development of Kuon. Hosiai dead is good for the flow of the story. What happen with Garo, does Garo is not realy exist anymore? Hope this show will not end until end of this Game. I want to know the continuation after end of the Game. |

I liked the original version of Garo. The first two seasons and the three movies that accompanied them. As well as the one season and the one recent movie that focuses on the son of the original Garo character. All of the other stuff they could've kept. -Garo 2.0 -Zero -Those Animes -Bikuu -Jinga I would like to have seen more of Kouga Saezima and his adventurers then what we had got. I would've loved to have had a series that focused on Kouga's father. (just find a man to play the younger version of him for earlier flash backs from his past) I was fond of Makai Retsuden though. But that's because I'm already familiar with the characters that were featured in there. Now this click bait Garo series. 8 episodes in with 4 to go and no Garoing going on at all. Now I see if this series was 25 episodes. Then I could accept what we're getting from them. Because I'd know we still had a good amount of time left to get to some Garoing done. But that's not the case here. |

I suppose since Episode 7 and 8 are connected I might as well put my thoughts out.
Still pretty interesting, I'm really enjoying how crunchy the fight scenes end up being, it's just a shame Hyuuga isn't around anymore, the dude was really one of the more impressive fighters. Still we're down to 4 contestants and it looks like we're going to finally have some clarification as to what's going on next week. Also can I just say I enjoy YTuber man doing research and trying to figure out what's going on, and essentially discovering that this whole thing is pretty much your standard Horror Plot, though in this case with a twist. Still curious to see where this is all going, and still having a blast. Speaking of, random notes. -That cute sword charm is called Deluxecalibur and I find that name amazing. -Anyone else hungry for Waffle Burgers after seeing Kuon eat one constantly? |

And as it turns out Takane's knife is also based on the one they had in their past, meaning all the weapons are specifically meant to be important to the player. I know that sounds extremely obvious, but I bring it up because now I can't help but wonder: What possible childhood trauma or memory lead to that one guy in round 3 wielding a spiked ball on a chain? |

Look like the "prologue" goes back to more traditionnal Garo as we knew it, roots of the story are more classic than the rest of the show.So it's definetly not related to any existing continuity.

I must say Episode 9 was definitely a change of pace. Granted I'm really curious as to what the hell is exactly wrong with the Makai Order in the VR-verse, cause wowie that's very much so a hell-ish and stupid way to actually try and pick a new Garo.

Well ep11 came and went- never thought I'd ever see overtime give a content warning on an episode- and after watching the episode WOW was that justified
Anyway next week we hopefully finally get to see the new garo suit in action

Here we are a week later and the series in now over
................................................... What can I say except: ok, now what? The series left way to many things unanswered (for example- why give us a character like azami IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING ABOUT HER??) Look I get it, they wanted to try something new the franchise has never done before- and they did a pretty good job Don't get me wrong- I liked the series, it just doesn't feel like a garo story- everything related to garo: the armor, the horrors, the makai order. It all feels like it was shoehorned in at the last minute Just like many anime over the last few years (both originals and adaptations) I genuinely feel that this show suffered a great deal from the 12 episode format- the format rarely allows a story to be built up properly

Didn't comment on Episode 10 or 11 but yeah they were pretty good at building up towards the finale.
Speaking of the finale, I really, really enjoyed it. The idea that we have this super deconstructed, just not at all familiar setting in Garo that slowly but sure is fully built back up to what the Garo armor is about, "Hope" is just really cool. I also love how Kuon himself is just so done with Azami and Hagiri to the point of even shouting, "An armor to surpass Garo? What the hell does that even mean?!" as possibly one of my favorite highlights of this series. Also just idea of the "Power of Friendship" power up in this case being Kuon choosing to live on after seeing everyone around him die because of this horrible game and even using their own moves to help beat the Veil armor. And then just at the end, him continuing to rub salt in Hagiri's wounds about his mishapen ideals, and Kuon's selflessness being too much for Azami to even comprehend so she just leaves. I really enjoyed this series and am honestly glad this was the ending they chose purely because well... it's open ended. It feels like it could be the start of a new universe because tbh and as I said when I first saw Versus Road... The Saejima Saga/Universe is very nicely wrapped up/has a fair deal of closure thanks to Moonbow Traveler, to where it'd feel weird if we went back there. On the opposite end, the Ryuga-verse feels like they're really running out of stuff to really expand on. To the point where Jinga itself feels so, so very disconnected from the Ryuga-verse when it takes place. So I'd really love it if they decided to continue on in the Versus Road universe because this conclusion definitely feels like they left it open enough for at least one sequel. |
