And if you're like me and hate Devil May Cry and (maybe) Onimusha, you still might love Garo. They really have nothing to do with each other except maybe some similarities in the design of monsters. Lots of games use this style. I want to say gothic style, but I'm not one to ask.

As for Garo vs Shinkenger, that's a tough one. Both are good. If you have seen Samurai recently, don't watch Shinkenger YET. Let those awful memories fade first or it will feel like you've seen this before for the first half.

If you decide Garo, finish through episode 7 at the very least. If the show hasn't clicked for you by then it might not be for you. On a side note, the current Garo series will probably be over before you catch up (unless you do some hardcore marathoning).

If I had to choose, I'd go with Garo. I enjoy both greatly, but there is no episode of Garo I regret watching. Shinkenger, other the other hand had a few awful episodes and "the movie" is one of the worst things I've seen in Toku. But again both are good and well worth a watch.

PS Donnot watch Garo at work and/or school. It has nudity and death...and that's just the first scene.
