GARO 06.

What the hell is going on? I feel like I've missed an episode or something. The episode was so all over the place I could barely follow what was happening. They certainly balanced this with some great fight scenes, thankfully. There was a lot less obvious CGI, and more practical stunts, they also seemed to cut down on the shitty sound effects dramatically. This made the fights carry more weight, and feel much more visceral, which made them way more engaging. Plus seeing two Knight's fight side by side was so friggin' cool!

I dunno whether Kaoru is cute, or just annoying. With how annoying female characters normally are in Japan with all their tsunderes and fan service, my tolerance for irritating characters has been raised really high, so I'm no longer sure what actually counts as annoying any more.

I do also like how we've finally addressed the elephant in the room, as well. So the humans possessed by Horrors are bad people in the first place, the Horrors are attracted to that? Okay. And seemingly once possessed, they have no choice but to be destroyed. I guess that makes it easier for black and white lines to be drawn, but it does make me wonder about a lot of the victims. Like what could have the surgeon done? Or the many, many victims of that watch guy? Was the curators crime, liking women? And that business woman liking money? Because that is kinda shitty. Hell, the victim of this week just seemed to hate men, and how they don't appreciate her now she is old, which doesn't really seem fair to condemn her for, it's a valid complaint in our society. Meh.

I will at least be looking forward to them explaining how the Makai organisation works.
