Episode XV: Project G

Wait, Project G? Was GARO a a distant prequel to Agito all along!?

Jokes aside, I mean... kinda! In this episode we get to see Julio again! And right away I wanna address something.



What the heck was this scene? Do video cameras exist in this show's' version of ye olde Spain? If so, that raises so many questions! Does TV exist? Is the entire anime secretly a Movie set? WHAT WAS UP WITH THIS??

Speaking of one off scenes, there's another one in this episode with Leon back at the farm. I get what they were going for with having Farm Girl(I'm bad with names, have you guys noticed yet?) seeing his scars, but it does run contrary to what we've seen before, as Leon has been shirtless in other episodes. Not a big deal, just something I noticed.

The real meat of this episode is Julio and his fellow blacksmiths coming together to try and forge their own Makai Armor, inspired by Alfonso's' heroics as GARO. This type of plot has been done alot in superhero shows. Heck, Kamen Rider has done it plenty of times(like the aforementioned Agito), but I still liked this.

Speaking of meat...



RIP Sebastian, you were too pure for this world.

But yeah, this was a nice little slice-of-life episode. It was cool to get a follow-up on one of the side characters, and provided a nice break from the typical dark action stories that the show typically provides. I liked that in the end, the "beast" really was just a normal grizzly bear and not a Horror. Them giving the Robo-GARO a Rocket Punch was hilariously awesome too. And gotta admit, this scene made me laugh a little harder than it should've:



That reaction was priceless to me.

But yeah, nice little episode. Fun times.
