We watched the fifth episode tonight and can I said that Alice's character just keeps getting worse with every episode? Her entire reason for wanting to find the egg was because she came across it as a child? You have got to be freaking kidding me!! That is the most shallow, uninspiring reasoning ever. She just set female characters back 40 years. Even Fuji in the original Ultraman has more personality than her and Fuji is as deep as a sheet of paper.

This episode was easily the worst of the show. We barely had any action. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that fight between Zero and the Horror was the most epic battle in the entire Garo universe that we never got to see. I would have rather watched him fight that over watching Alice talk to the bar tender.

Oh, and what is even worse is the child that played young Alice had far more emotion and personality than her actress.

Episode 5: I enjoyed the episode. I mean I thought the action was cool and the scenes at the end when Alice jumped off were beautiful to see. I might be the only one liking Alice's character but I thought she's gotten better each episode. Rei is still amazing and I am so glad they got back to using the 99.9 Second counter in GARO because they just stopped using it and I like the time limit aspect of it. Unless in Ryuuga's time they found out how to make it last indefinitely or something. Well I can't wait for more and for the fight against Mari/Mio next episode lol.

I like Alice, too. I think she's a perfectly fine character and works well as the audience engagement character. She's not as likable as Kaoru, but I don't get the criticism that she's an awful character who's dragging the show down. I really liked her story this week with the statue and everything. Remember, not every Garo episode is a Horror-of-the-Week action spectacle; every series has had some of these more low-key episodes that focus on the supporting characters.

She's not an actress. She has no range of emotion and her face is so flat whenever she speaks. It looks like she is reading her lines from a teliprompter whenever she speaks. Also her delivery is so jagged.

I really like Alice too. I don't think it's that she's incapable emoting, she just has an incredibly weird (I want to say child-like but I don't even think that's right) of expressing it. She's odd, but in a charming sense.

Plus the actress is super cute, so whatever :lol

Dem gams, doe!

For one thing she is too young for me. Also while it sounds mean, she really needs to see a dentist. I'm not sure how she is a model.

Kind of a weird episode this week in that it's mostly set-up for next week's episode. A lot of dominoes are lined up, but I can't help but feel that not much actually happened outside of Kagome joining and immediately betraying the team. I'm not entirely sure what I think about her: she's either a well-meaning moron or she's secretly following her own agenda and I can't tell which it is yet. In either case her barrier spell reminds me a lot of the David Lynch Dune movie, which is amusing to me.

In other news, I'm starting to reevaluate Alice. I think it's less likely now that she has some kind of hidden power and more that she's just sort of an idiot who's gotten really luck so far.

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.
