Even then that's just not feasible. Yes we could make a section for current Garo and roll it off when it's done. But all that section would boil down to is the episode discussions. Just look at this "Other Toku" section as the example. This is the spot where Garo stuff should and has been posted previously. Over the entire time this site has existed, over a year now, only 3 threads pertaining to Garo have been posted in this section.
It's just evident that if we put the time and work into giving Garo even a currently airing subsection that it wouldn't be used fully. There just hasn't been enough evidence to support that it would carry itself. We're always open to more and improved open discussion for toku. Sections for Garo, Ultras, and Godzilla are a goal down the road. We want this site to be the #1 place for all things tokusatsu related. But there has to be a necessity for these sections to exist first. Right now there just isn't enough discussion, interaction, and demand to get those off the ground. Also, I was just checking O-T's site to see if Garo was up yet (for at least the third time since this morning) and got some bad news. Because they're going to be using a later airing for higher quality raws, it means we won't get episode one subbed until next weekend. Last edited by Switchblade; 04-06-2013 at 12:48 PM.. |

Went ahead and watched the raw because I am not waiting another week for new Garo. Obviously I'll need to come back and watch it again with subs (possibly twice if TVN gets theirs done first), but so far I agree with most of what Blade Raider said.
There is definitely a Western vibe to this show, in terms of visuals, music, and characters (and not just the cute cowgirl Makai Priest in the ending credits). Ryuga has a definite "drifter" vibe to him that reminds me a bit of some of Clint Eastwood's films, especially A Fistful of Dollars. He's a lot more emotive than either Eastwood or Kouga, though, and he's shaping up to be an intriguing protagonist. Hard to get a strong sense of the others so far, but their basic personalities come off pretty clearly in just their first scenes. Vol City has me intrigued. It's hard to tell how widespread their military police are without subs - I assume it's just a local thing, though. They are pretty badass, though, and I'm eager to see what their deal is. The biggest thing I noticed was the sign outside of town. It's full of engrish, but it mentions both futuristic technology and being built on top of ancient ruins. I'm thinking we're looking at a Poltergeist situation here with that, although the question is whether the city was put over the ruins for nefarious purposes or just out of sheer dumb luck. In any case, Ryuga totally ruined that groom's honeymoon. Also, the guy in the car? Totally Tachibana Tobei's son. They should've had him be driving a yellow jeep. |

By basic personalities, do you mean "Not Jetman Gai" and "Not Quincy"? I'm pretty sure the bride was going to eat him, so it's more like Ryuga ruined the bride's wedding night...and scared the groom for life. Maybe he'll become easy Horror prey from this. Because irony. PS Meanwhile, while wating for subs, I'm getting back to rewatching the original series. |

And, not to be outdone, O-T has put up a script and a raw for anyone who doesn't want to wait for their full HD version.

Well I just watched it and it was pretty lackluster. I'll say that if it wasn't for Burai showing up, I would have completely hated the episode. Forget Ryuuga, I want to know about Burai and what he does as he was far more interesting in the 2 minutes we saw him compared to Ryuuga's 21 minutes.
Also, Are we sure the show was translated correctly? I mean the title. I ask because I swear they should have called it Garo The Demon Who Holds The Shaky Camera. Oh, and both the actors to Burai and the Stargate-1 girl look familiar. Lastly, the opening song is probably the weakest, worst opening out of all three seasons. There was no energy, no originality, it was just bland boring music. |
