Finally got around to watching the Garo Gold Storm movie. That was utterly fantastic, easily the best the franchise has been since Makai Senki.

Everything just fell into place in this movie - the location filming and sets were gorgeous, the story was as good as it needed to be for a standalone movie, the CGI seemed better than usual and it worked as the perfect prologue to Gold Storm Sho. The only weak link was D Ringo still just kind of being *there*, but it feels more like Sho's fault for not expanding on him rather than him not working here.

Just when Crimson Moon is watering down the franchise a little too much for me, this reminded me just how great Garo can be.
