The new GARO show started airing (official name seems to be "Heir to Steel Armor").
The first episode aired yesterday in Japan and they posted in on youtube today.
I don't know if it's just the first or if they plan to upload the whole show.

Episode was okay. It's what you would expect for a Ryuga show start.

Cool opening and ending theme but not quite as epic as i would expect. They associated Yuki Kajiura to JAM Project for this, and while I love both I don't know if I like the mix of them. If the show is 20+ episodes and not 12-ish I suppose we'll have a legit JAM Project song as the opening so I'll wait.

Fight scenes are still cool as usual and I think they decided to have less CGI this time ?
the horrors have a different feel, and I think that's because they are more "human-like" than in other shows. We got a woman with horns and a yeti/bigfoot guy with a hammer instead of the usual black demons or monsters with weird forms, shapes or puppet like designs.

I prefer it that way in terms of fight choreography, with a suit actor inside the horror. But it's true it removes the hell-ish feel the horrors were giving before.

EDIT : completely slipped my mind but seems like Shun Nishime (KR Ghost) is a part of this as well. as a minor role (I guess ?)
