I enjoyed this new series, even if it's predictable (but what is not predictable in toku shows ?) I hope the characters will flesh this out.
As usual I cringed a bit on the "let's burn one big chunk of our CGI budget in the first episode to make it über cool" move, so I expect the following will be less impressive. |

The second episode was another good one. We are definitely back into standard monster-of-the-week territory, which is always one of the places where Garo has really managed to shine. The Horror doesn't get as much focus as the ones in Makai no Hana did, though, so there's still a good amount of time for developing the characters and some more teases for the main plot. I'm generally quite pleased with how well the show is balancing both ongoing and episodic elements so far. The Horror this week was really cool, too, one of the better designs we've had in a long time.

This show so far feels like EXACTLY the Zero series I wanted. Basically, what he gets up to when he's not helping out the Saejimas. I always liked that you could tell every time you weren't seeing a character in Garo, they were off doing their own thing. Like Tougen no Fue was just a Tuesday for Rekka & Jabi.
So the fact this is so far coming off like a regular Garo season, just with Rei as the lead suits me just fine. |

Watched episode 2, and we're still good so far. It's good to see the bartender from Black Blood return and we got a little shout out to Yuna and Kain which was cool. Alice seems to know more about things like Horrors then it first seemed. And it seems like his "I don't need any one in my life" shell might be starting to crack a little. And I liked the design for the Horror in this one, and the story about how the human got possessed,classic Garo.

We watched the second episode last night and it was great except for one thing, Alice's actress is horrible. Her dialog was so rigid and her facial emotions didn't even look natural with the dialog she was speaking. The Horror's design was the best since the horror movie Horror in Raiga's show.

Episode 2: This show is just so refreshing, but maybe that's just Rei himself because he just brings so much presence. Definitely intrigue with the ending and not surprised that Rei will probably end up fighting a Dragon in this series lol. I enjoy Alice right now though and figure that egg might be the said dragon.

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").

The story about the father and son felt like another classic Garo episodes to me. And the bar owner gave some pretty good insight about the "secondary" armor Makai Knights wear and it fit's Rei pretty well I thought. Looks like the main story about the Dragon knight is starting to get some traction know with an explanation on what or at least who he was back in the day, and maybe why he was concealed in that crystal to begin with. Not to mention what the egg means to Alice, hopefully there's some explanation somewhere about how she knows about the "Other world" like she does. Although three episodes in it does look like we're back to CGI Horror as the MOTW. Given how they looked and what they do it's understandable because that would be hard to pull off with a practical effect and still look good, but hopefully well get some proper Horror suit action before the show is over.
On a side note was this the first time we've seen a sheath for Rei's swords? Because I don't recall there being one before. |

What is it about sad Garo father-child episodes and guns?
Enjoyed the episode, but there is a weird connection between saddened parents and guns, whether or not a horror is directly using it or not varies.

Episode 3: Was definitely one of those of yeah this is why I love Garo episodes. This was really powerful and I loved the story between the father and son and how it tied more directly to Rei rather than random thing that Rei has to stop. Enjoyed the second Armor analogy too and Alice's inquisitive nature is nice right now. The Dragon Knight seems badass and vicious, I can't wait to see what kind of villain he is. Loving this series right now and can't wait for more.
