A series, no matter how good or bad, can be redeemed by its finale, and this is one show that had an ending that was just as bad as the rest of the series.

Moving this to the correct thread!

I will admit I'm disappointed that the practical suits are gone, and that the Horrors are now in human form as much as the heroes. Although they never had much time in the sun, I really enjoyed the Horror suits and am saddened they've been replaced by a generic CGI mouth effect for every villain.

I must also admit I'm not a big fan of the protagonists. Although the characterisation was really weak in the second season, in the first season I enjoyed pretty much every character, here Ryuga and Takeru are really the only people who do it for me and even then Takeru's ludicrous overacting is painful.

Still, I don't think the writing here is any weaker than the other two seasons, GARO and Makai Senki were both chock full of garbled mythology and plot threads that went absolutely nowhere. The fact that TOWSITD seems to be trying to streamline the story in the right direction (as Makai Senki went in the wrong one) this is turning out to be the best written GARO yet, but that isn't saying much...
