GARO Makai no Hana

In the past makai priests were afraid of the power of Demon Ailis (also known as Messiah's Tear), and sealed it inside a tablet. In order to do that 9 other demons were required to become the foundation stones.
Such ominous past has been long forgotton, and the tablet is now being displayed in a museum. An unknown person with black outfit shows up one night, destroys the tablet, and set the 9 demons free.
Answering to the order from Priest Jiiru, Saejima Raiga from the Blue Watchdog is ready set off to reseal Ailis. Ailis is now seeds planted inside the 9 demons, and waiting for its time to respawn. In order to reseal Ailis a special madou tool from the council is required, and it will be arriving on the same night.
With excellent judgement and dynamism Raiga has chosen to take on one of the demons Azdabu. During their fight a girl, Mayuri, is watching them nearby. She is the one who has been sent by the council.

With all these big names around I wonder if the production will cut down on suits and make it full CG again.

They brought back Gonza? Awesome!

So cool. Love GARO.

More Garo is always a treat. I await the traditional five minute mid-air duel for this series.

So do we know if Amemiya is directly involved in this show again, or is it a different crew like TOWSITD?

Amemiya will be one of the directors.
Yokoyama will stay as director and will not be writing (hopefully).
Writer crew will be the same as MAKAISENKI and Yami wo terasu mono.
Action director will be Tomita Minoru (assistant action director since MAKAISENKI).
Sakamoto not on the list.
