I've maintained the biggest problem with Black Blood is that it was too long. It did not need six episodes because the story felt like it was too thinly-spread. If it had been three or four, or even a Tougen no Fue-style special it would have been much better. If it absolutely had to be six episodes, then a couple of one-off "Horror of the Week" episodes would have been great. The Zero focus episodes in Makai Senki were some of the highlights in that season for me.

I wonder though, with a focus more on Priests than Knights, if this is being done on a lower budget than usual, or if money is going elsewhere (Like the new Zero: Dragonblood series that's happening after this). This doesn't feel like an anniversary project like they were promoting it as.

I like seeing which characters they pull out for this though(I wasn't expecting to see Leo back any time soon, and I loved the Wataru stuff a while back), but the episodes we've had so far feel like filler episodes of an awesome Garo season we're not seeing.
