There are some movies, actually.

"Beast of the White Night", which is more like an extended episode of the TV series, set after the events of the first season.

There's also "Red Requiem", which is also set between the first and second season, but there's little in there that requires having seen season 1 to enjoy it, it's a fairly self-contained story.

There's also "Tougen No Fue" - a spinoff starring two female Makai Priests, and "Soukoku No Maryu" aka "GARO and the Wailing Dragon" in some places, which is a kind of finale to the second season. It's different to the stuff that came before it, in that it takes a lighter, more fantasy-based tone. I've heard some people call it "Kouga in Wonderland" which isn't too far off, really. Still insane.

The episode that 2ndSndWve posted is from a season that I actually like to recommend to newcomers as a "Jumping-on point" as at this point they decided to move away from the timeline that the first two seasons followed, jumping forwards into the future with an almost new cast (the skull-ring Zaruba being the only character that remains). The next proper live-action season of Garo, Gold Storm, will be a sequel to this one, so now would be a good time to watch it!


I love Garo. It might not be for everyone, but I recommend it to anyone looking for something different to Sentai, Kamen Rider etc.
