Black Blood 3.

Wow that really was quite bad. I mean it wasn't downright terrible, I'm a HUGE urban fantasy guy, my favourite book series ever is the Dresden Files so like learning about the way the community works, and that cool scene with the kid and the barrier were great. But even TOWSITD provided more than a couple of novel scenes when it came to storytelling and world building.

And I'd come to expect from GARO, even in its darkest moments, the best action out of any toku show ever, however that is just not the case here. This is probably the most "toku" GARO has ever felt and it really suffers for it. GARO seemed to take props more from American comics, than it did Japanese media, and it created action sequences that were just something else. But this episode was full of lame, clunky, clumsy fighting and it only gets worse once Zero dons the armour. I mean how is possible that the armour makes the fighting LESS interesting? I dunno, but the show manages it.

Black Blood 4. THAT SHIRTLESS SCENE OF ZERO

This episode was pretty good, I guess the last episode was just a missfire. The general continuity problems and seeming budget restraints aside, Claude didn't make me want to claw off my own face in the same way Cain does, and to a lesser extent Yuna. Gimme a GARO prequel about Taiga and then a Black Blood prequel about Claude! - also give him a proper jacket next time please.
