TOWSITD 03.

So what's the deal with these Knights? Minus Tsubasa, everyone had really generic looking weapons in their base form then their weapons would transform into something much more fantastical when summoning their armour. But both totally not gay and totally not Ishida look like they have their armour weapons the whole time.

Either way, I'm not quite sure how to feel about those two yet. Glasses armour is surprisingly bland, even with the asymmetrical helmet, and for whatever reason his armours first appearance got the worst CGI of the episode. And that isn't mentioning his ludicrously elaborate takedown of the Horror. But I know I'm really loving Ryuga. I loved Kouga by the end, but I wasn't enjoying his character this much, so early in the game.

The visual effects in this show are weirdly hit and miss, for the most part the CGI is actually pretty decent (although Glasses McAsshole looked surprisingly pixellated in his armour) and I'm glad Soul Metal now looks like metal (for the most part), but what was with those huge, obviously masks, heads that Magic Horror chick suddenly developed? That looked ridiculous in how fake it looked.

You know it's GARO when random nudity! I actually kinda liked the aftermath of this episode, highlighting how fucked Vol City is, that here Horrors can survive long enough to become obese and get stuck. What the fuck is going on with this city?!
