What, whole story elements just ripped straight out of it?

Black Blood 05.
Ever watching something where EVERYTHING feels off and you literally cannot place why at all? Yeah, that was this episode for me. Definitely would have liked a series about Yuna and her father though, although this series has been pretty decent overall. Black Blood 06. Well that was depressing. The general production values were nicely ramped up for this finale but Ring was a crap villain until the very end and he was the worst kind of bad, because this episode proved that there were loads of things that could have made him interesting if the show had had any real character focus of any level of substance throughout its short run time. Instead he just shot feathers, shouted in English and wore ill fitting suits. But then terrible final villains is nothing really new with GARO is it? Overall, eh, it was a decent way to kill a few hours as long as you don't really expect much substance or much of a shake up to your world. With Black Blood being only six episodes long, with very little plot or character focus, it didn't really have enough to it to make many mistakes in the first place. If this was as long as TOWSITD, or the second season, I probably woulda been more sour by the end, but as it stands, it was just okay.

Episodes 5 and 6
Well, that was certainly... generic. The ending - and really the miniseries itself - wasn't all that bad. There just wasn't really much about it that stood out in any way. The whole plot with Yuna, Iyu, and Ring was pretty stock, very few of the new characters left any lasting impression, and the action was solid but far from the best we've ever seen out of Garo. I'm not saying it was bad, but there honestly wasn't anything really great about this either. Honestly, it just kind of goes in the "forgettable side project" pile next to Red Requiem. Here's hoping Makai no Hana turns out better. |

We watched 3-6 today and I have to be honest, the first two episodes showed promise while these last 4 just threw it all away. There were some good ideas here, but the episodes were just boring. This story could have been told in an hour long OVA rather than a 2 and a half hour series. Even 3-4 episodes were have been better than 6.
Zero was cool, as was Ring, but the rest just felt off. The fight choreography felt lacking. Something just did not feel right at all with the series, and I'm not exactly sure what it is. Oh, and that song got really annoying by the fourth episode. It was like one verse and was heard for what seemed like five times an episode. Also, Cain and Yuna seemed rather pointless while Zero seemed pretty invincible. I mean, the man got hit in the head with a fire extinguisher multiple times and did even have a bruise from it. Nothing really came out of Yuna having her father's bone in her arm and Cain was just a total asshole. There was nothing to like about his character at all. No one grew at all during these six episodes. It is sad, but I have to give Zero a 4/10 stars. There is zero reason to ever revisit this show. |

I had the exact same feeling, something that seemed to only grow with each episode.

I guess I'm in the minority of people who liked this series. I do wish it was more about Rei though I suppose his character's pretty much fully developed. I loved the plot with the community and found Ring to be an interesting villain. It would have been nice to see Yuna actually become a knight, maybe in a later series as the "women can't be knights" plot point is not only annoying but also it feels like they were shoving it in our face as if they were going to defy it.

Finally got around to finishing it this morning. I too enjoyed it, but it did feel like it was missing something - possibly due to the short length. I liked Ring and the moral grey area of what he was doing, which made for a nice change from the usual "super god horror" we've seen in the last few Garo titles. I even thought his CGI form at the end wasn't that bad.
Wish it had been a bit longer though. Because I could do with more Yuna in my life (ToQger isn't enough ) and Cain didn't really amount to anything here.
