Exactly this.
I watched the latest episode, waiting for a transformed fight that never came. I wasn't annoyed by that though. Like you say, every so often, Garo dials things back a little, and this was one of those. Alice does somewhat feel like a retread of Kaoru - an innocent human who stumbled into this world of Horrors and Makai Knights/Priests. She's not as endearing as Kaoru was, but not really a detriment to the show in any way. |

So magic has a smell apparently, they made that a thing. Okay then.
Well as episode go it was a bit of a breather until the action starts up again, That can be a good thing I guess, especially since it looks like they're going big in the next one based on the preview. Kagome's backstory was pretty good, although I am wondering if her brother wanted her to get stronger more than she did. and apparently she's not use to people calling her pretty. seems like a weird character trait to me(and I realize I'm probably not using the right word there, it was the only thing I could thing of). Although right Kagome does sort of remind me of how Rekka was when we first met her, just in her determination, or single mindedness depending on how you want to look at it, to get what she wants, no matter the consequence. I wouldn't be surprise, if she survives the series, if Rekka doesn't take her under her wing like Jabi did her. |

Episode 6 was better than 5, but still not as good as the first four episodes. Alice is really getting on my nerves as she is as bright as coal. "I know people are trying to kill me or kidnap me, but I'm going to go out and take pictures, kay? Cool, bye."
And now we have another female character that is already grating my nerves. Why is this season unable to provide competently written female characters? Oh god she eats like a pig! I'm also disappointed that we didn't get a lick of suit action this episode. |

Like I figured: after last week's set-up this was pretty much wall-to-wall action. We got sword fights, we got an armored fight (with Rei's horse and Goro-chan riding what looked like a kirin with rocket orbs in its talons), and some actors vs. CGI doo-dads fights. I'm not sure where this one ranks overall in terms of Garo action scenes, but I'd say it ends up fairly high on the list.
Oh, and Alice did a stupid thing again. Because of course she did. The episode's ending really surprised me. I don't believe that Goro-chan is really dead; I'm sure he'll be back for the finale. I'm really surprised that they killed off Kagome. I wasn't necessarily expecting her to be a major character in future shows or movies but I was definitely not expecting her to die halfway through this series. It's a pity, as I feel like there was a lot of potential that we'll never get to see fulfilled now. Anyway, looks like we're back to the more episodic MotW adventures next week. |

Episode 7: This was balls to the wall action packed episode. Which was totally awesome. I loved Rekka and Kagome together though it was sad what happened to Kagome. This almost felt like the final episode with that fight but it wasn't as dramatic as I thought it would be and you know the egg hasn't hatched either so this is definitely not the end. Rei was fantastic and kicked ass, I can't wait for more.

Yup all action episode after the previous one. Little shocked by the ending though, trying to remain spoiler free here, I'm pretty sure the show's not over yet so there will probably be a twist at some point near the end, maybe even the next episode. Speaking of, looks like they might be going more into Alice's background a bit more if I'm understanding the preview right. Oh and hopefully the beginning is the closest we get to a flashback episode with the series being so short.

Episode 8. I freaking loved this one. It's another MotW episode and the ending fight with the giant puppy centipede in the CGI room was awesome, as was the pre-transformation fight (I never thought I would see a gothic lolita sword, but apparently that's a thing). That wasn't what I liked so much, though.
I really, really enjoyed all of the Rei and Alice scenes this week; the stuff with the two of them just walking around and taking photos. Alice still makes bad decisions, but I still enjoyed her scenes with Rei a lot. It's a little rushed because of the show's lower episode count, but I can buy into this romance. The bit where she was taking his picture was really cute. I felt like we were getting some character death flags near the end of the episode, though. I'm not sure we're going to see Snaggletooth Khaleesi make it out of here alive. |

We watched episodes 7 and 8 tonight and I'm starting to be less impress with this show as it goes on. Most of it has to do with Alice because seriously, what the hell girl?! All she cares about are her own selfish needs and desires without giving a damn if it effects everyone else and the world or not. Not to mention she is so freaking ugly looking. She has no emotional range. WHen the bar tender opened the door up to talk to her she just gave a blank stare. HOW ABOUT ACTING FOR A CHANGE!! That's what you are there for you stupid moron!
Now the battle in episode 7 was really badass. I really loved the slow motion-like scenes for the end there. Too bad they only killed off Kagome though because Alice's character shield was only full blast. It's a shame that she was buried deeper than her development. Of course, at least she had development compared to the Dragon Knight, who is hands down the most useless Garo villain to date. Even the villains the TOWSID had better development than this dumbass. I'm not saying he had to have a tragic backstory but come on people. I did enjoy the Horror in episode 8, but once again, half of the episode was wasted for that stupid little brat. UGH!! I would have rather watched 10 minutes of her killing different people than suffered 10 minutes of "Alice's Adventures of Picturing Taking with Bad Settings Turned On." So far Zero, its music, and cinematography are the things carrying this show because the narrative sure as hell ain't doing it. I just hope things turn around for the remaining 5 episodes. |

Episode 8: I might be the only one but I just love Alice and Rei together, that was just so interesting and fun to see them together taking pictures of each other. It was interesting to try to get more into Rei's head here. I definitely see this being a different twist like what happened with Kouga and Kaoru. The dragon was so adorable I can't wait to see what happens with this. The battle was awesome and Rei kicked ass like normal, that was spectacular. I can't wait for more.
