Makai Retsuden mostly takes place some time before, during or after each respective series. Episodes: 1, first half of 3, 5, first half of 8, and 11 would take place some time after Makai Senki (season 2), Soukoku no Maryu film, and Zero: Black Blood. Episodes: second half of 3, 6, second half of 8, and 9 take place during or after Makai no Hana (season 4). 2, 4, 7, and 10 take place before, during or after Yami wo Terasu Mono (season 3) and Gold Storm Sho (season 5). In episode 12, for Rekka and Kouga, it would be sometime after Soukoku no Maryu (for Kouga, sometime before Makai no Hana since he says he's lost between dimensions) and for Rian, sometime before, during or after Gold Storm Sho (since she's wearing the outfit she predominantly wears in that season).

Garo Ashura is sometime way before Garo (season 1) as it's suppose to be a Garo in the past and the fact that the Garoken in its normal state is just a sword shaped chunk of Soul Metal instead of resembling the smaller jian-like sword that the other modern Garo's use when they're not in their armor.

Except the framing device takes place sometime between Soukoku no Maryu and Makai no Hana.

Speaking of Garo, any update from Kraken yet about the US release?

None that I've seen.

Garo seems to be making waves in video games, these days.

Probably be a little while. They will probably have to sub all of the episodes and wait for approval from the license owners. These things take time.

Found this on rangerboard, but Garo finally has a US release date October 17th. Well collection one apparently their doing it in parts. No more information at this time. https://www.rightstufanime.com/GARO-TV-Blu-ray


Found this out after I posted it on facebook it's episodes 1-13

I knew the $40 price tag seemed too good to be true. Oh well, whatever. I'll definitely preorder it as soon as it shows up on Amazon.

That's a bit steep for 13 episodes, but it's tokusatsu and GARO so I'm definitely gonna get it. Would be cool to see more seasons get distributed in the future so I'll chip in.

That's average for an anime series. I mean, Sailor Moon has 21 episodes on it, but costs $70.
