GARO: Makai Senki Episode 10 - Secret

Read the original post HERE.

Listen to me and En-chan review the episode live HERE.

Quite possibly the most unique episode in the entire franchise.

Now, with a setup like that, many are probably expecting something totally wild, right? But actually, given what franchise this, it's the exact opposite.

Rather, "Secret" is probably the most relaxed, whimsical, and down-to-earth episode of GARO there is; Wherein the entire episode can be summed up as "Leo and Kaoru walk around town and talk."

And despite such a simple premise, it does alot for the season as a whole. Alot of world building in terms of the spiritual side of the setting, alot of character development for Leo and Kaoru, and also sets up for a really great pay off come the season finale.

It's such a unique pairing that many probably wouldn't expect either: Leo and Kaoru. And yet, the two have a surprising amount to connect over; Including their love of brushes. Kaoru's' keen eye and empathy really does alot to bring out the softer side of Leo, and allows the audience to get to know him as more than simply Koga's' ally.

It's just a wonderful experience all around, and I really dig it.
