I might actually leave a bit of a gap before I get around to that and the special/movie thing, because darn it, that finale was so good I think I owe it to it to let that sit for a bit. Despite going out of its way to assure us the story of GARO is far from over, it's like I said at the start -- best not to treat this series as a mere starter pack for more stuff.

Because, really, it's totally complete, as is, you know? Even if this franchise never did take off the way it obviously deserved to, these 25 episodes alone really feel like they kind of said and did everything they wanted to do, while bringing it all to a suitably satisfying and epic conclusion.

This episode sent me to another plane of existence.

I almost don't even wanna talk about it, because legit, this episode is a friggen experience. You NEED to watch it as raw and cold as possible.

Like, just when you think it can't possibly go any farther than it has, it does. And yet it somehow manages to still have an emotional core at the end? I don't know if this episode is insane or an actual masterpiece.

Just... just go watch it. You cannot possibly be expecting this to go the way it does after an entire show like what GARO was.

I remember it. I was also impressed at the time. I did not expect that GARO could go into comedy so much and still remain himself. Plus, the jewelry actors were given a chance to show their faces.
