Oh shit yeah! I wasn't a big fan of Makai Senki so I forgot a lot about it but that episode was cool.

All knights got their Garo armor from this tower.
Yup it is the same tower in season 3.
They also have to return there to cleanse their armor there from time to time.

Raiga will be going there in the next episode.

I wonder what's so special with this book, and why only this book.

New episode's been out since yesterday, only just saw myself. Shame so very few people are watching this, this show has been really solid so far.

Flowers Six.

The fight choreography and production values in this episode were incredible, I'm still a little blown away by how they create such incredible Horror designs and have them on screen for like five seconds.

Sadly everything else...kinda sucks. I can't tell if the acting in this is really bad, or the actors just aren't directed very well. Pretty much every scene feels really awkward, but that may also be possibly down to language barriers too. I'm at least hoping the dialogue flowed better in Japanese. It really didn't work well in English.

I'm with you there for the most part. The fight and the horror were badass but the plot itself was lacking in execution (though I did like the concept and there were some creepy moments in there).

All I kept thinking about was the Windchime episode of Mikazuki and how much better that was than this. Also, now I've seen the hell mermaid, nothing in GARO scares me any more.

I've got it downloaded, but haven't had time to watch it yet. I'm really, really busy this week. :(

I watch the raws the day they are posted on YouTube. It's always the same guy. I'm sometimes the very first person to view the video.

Anyways, I love every episode so far.

One question though. Wasn't it stated or shown that you can draw a horror to yourself if deeply depressed or in despair? Or is it the anger and hate derived from that despair that attracts them?

Loved the Kaoru book reference! Love the subtle glimpses of his parents past no matter how small or subtle they may be.

I watched the first season subbed by TVN as at the time - dunno if this is still the case - they had the best quality rips. Sadly between all the honorifs, Japanese grammar and words not translated because...fuck it, my grasp on the shows mythology has always been tenuous at best.

Then again subsequent seasons have seemingly played it on the fly anyway when it comes to continuity and mythology, so I don't think it even matters if you even vaguely understand what is going on, because I'm not sure the writers are sure themselves.
