Watched episode 9 tonight and good god, seriously? This is beating a dead horse, but good god does Alice suck. First off, Khaleesi she is not. Secondly, all I wanted to hear someone say when she was "staring" at the baby dragon was, "There is no dragon," because holy fuck she wasn't even staring at it, but off into the distance with her blank stare. Also, good god, seriously, stop smiling girl!! You should never smile until you see a dentist!! UGH!
Also, when Zero was trying to decide whether or not to search for Alice or go after the Horror I said, "Just go after the Horror as Alice will end up stumbling onto it and then you will have solved both problems." And then about 10 minutes later, BOOM!, she's there. WTF?! Anyway, the stuff that dealt with the Horror itself was quite interesting. Never expected to see a woman with crabs. Her main form looked like something pulled out of Dark Souls. Watching Zero untransform to get rid of the crabs was interesting and it answers the question as to whether or not the timer resets every time they transform. I know this show only has like 4 episodes left, but I cannot wait for it to be over. This has to be by far the most polarizing series ever. There are so many good ideas ruined by idiotic stuff like Alice and the utterly pointless Dragon Knight. Once again, why couldn't they develop him? |

Really liked the latest episode. The baby dragon is adorable and I liked the scenes with it and Alice, although I'm definitely still getting the sense that the show is setting us up for a tragic ending here.
The Horror this week was great, too. Legitimately creepy and actually a decent threat that really challenged Rei. It was nice to see him have to really go all-out to defeat this one. |

Episode 9: Loop is so adorable! I just love how cute he is. This is probably the best Alice has been this season and I love how they act with each other. I am intrigued to see where it goes with Loop though.
I am enjoying Rei's concern for Alice here and also enjoyed that we got two transformed fight scenes this episode. Sheesh, Rei moves like he knows the dodge timing in a video game perfectly, he's freaking amazing. Also, that finishing with him lighting his armor on fire was freaking amazing. I can't wait for more.

Another good one this week. I especially liked getting some origin on Goro-chan, which was both kinda touching and visually engaging. I think either the dialogue or translation was a little off, though, as I'm not sure they explained what's going on with Alice as well as they could have. I think they were saying that the dragon has her under some kind of mental compulsion, but that wasn't very clear.

Oh yeah, I forgot to post that I watched episode 10. It was lame. This show just keeps getting worse. Like the Dragon Knight makes no sense to me. It was nice we finally got a back story to him, but if he was there to fight Horrors, why did he decide to betray humanity and want to kill them? That was never explained. Also, seriously Alice, close your damn legs, no one wants to **** you and your horrendous teeth!

Episode 10: This was totally phenomenal. I loved Edel's back story and just kind of loved him being raised by a dragon and becoming the Dragon Warrior Hero. He's also a fantastic villain right now, but former Kamen Rider actors do make great villains in GARO. I cannot wait for the next fight between Edel and Rei though, that ending was such a cocktease. I feel sympathetic to Alice but I am still wondering if she is being possessed by the dragon too. Also, Rekka anger was good to see and I enjoyed Rei trying to help save Alice as well. I can't wait for more.

Garo, I will generally accept most of the sillier things you do, but giant brush cannons? Bridge too far.
But yeah, another good episode. We got the rest of Goro-chan's backstory, which does engender some sympathy towards him in me: dude just wanted to hang out with his freaky dragon family but a bunch of assholes had to come along and ruin things. The episode is mostly fight scenes and, as usual, they work well. Not hugely surprised by the twist at the end, as it was pretty obviously telegraphed last week, but I was briefly shocked when I thought Loupe had bitten Goro-chan in half instead of just grabbing him. |

I'm going to spoiler text this because a lot of big things happened this week that I did not see coming and I don't want to ruin it for anybody.
So, yeah, Alice is the show's villain. All the times she stupidly wandered into the path of a Horror? Bait to get Rei to come save her and keep her close until he found the egg. Foolishly putting herself in Goro-chan's path repeatedly? Done consciously so she can get back to the egg. Stealing the egg and trying to raise the baby dragon? Not the horribly misguided actions of a complete idiot, but rather her securing her bond with Loupe so he can help her realize her dream of BURNING DOWN THE ENTIRE FUCKING WORLD IN CLEANSING DRAGON FIRE! Maybe I missed something the rest of you did, but holy crap this threw me for a loop because I did not see this twist coming. I pretty much wrote Alice off as Diet Kaoru for most of the series. She was artistic and a little spacey, she had awful luck with stumbling into monsters, and she found a way to connect to the heart of the titular Makai Knight. There was a point where I started suspecting her around mid-season, but the writers did such a good job of passing her off as kind of an airhead so I started to assume I was mistaken and she was just a normal, albeit kind of stupid girl. I've even been assuming for the last few weeks that she was going to die tragically to give Rei some cheap pathos (and, to be fair, she probably is still going to die next week but really not in any way I ever expected). I really didn't expect her to actually have this big of an ulterior motive and I sure as hell didn't expect to see her become a new dragon knight and announce her arrival by shanking Rekka (who probably won't die, although I'm not putting anything past this show right now). I'm honestly not sure how the show ends this story. I assume Rei is going to have to kill Alice but I have no idea how he takes down the dragon 1v1 (maybe let the armor timer expire? I can't remember if he's ever done that before or not - it would've been in Black Blood and I try to forget everything about that show that I can). Either way, I am really excited for the finale now. |
