Red Requiem

Man, that might be the best Kamen Rider Ryuki movie that I've seen!

Joking aside, I actually did really dig this movie, and it was a great way to return to the world of GARO after having been gone for a year.

I don't really know what I can say other than that I felt pretty much everything was pulled off great. The action scenes were as great as always, Rekka's' arc was pulled off really well ontop of the nice way it connected to Koga, the atmosphere was on point the whole time, and best of all, the music all throughout the film was top notch.

To my surprise, the film also worked pretty well as a standalone, I felt. Sure, certain specific details of the world aren't explained, but I felt that those things weren't really necessary in order to not only get a handle on how things worked, but also not at needed to any emotional investment in these characters.

If I had to nitpick anything, I guess I'd just express confusion as to why exactly it's called Red Requiem? But whatever, the important part is that I felt this whole film was just a really fun time all around. No real complaints here.
