You know I'm not sure where I'd rank Vanishing Line in terms of like... the massive GARO stuff that I've seen. And while I don't think it's like the most amazing work they've put out, it's still definitely up there as one of my favorites.

Which is why I can get why you're definitely feeling like this on the first episode. First impressions are important though I always feel like GARO has a lot more moving parts that aren't present in the first episode. I think the anime hits some pretty high highs during its run. Though I will admit it is a bit... straightforward. That'll come into play later on though and I'll explain what I mean specifically when we get to the point I'm talking about.

Anyway um... Sword might actually be... probably my 4th favorite Garo? And that's not a bad thing either, it's just he has competition like Leon (Also Kouga and Raiga from the Live Action stuff) who I just find really good. But he's also such a different Garo and I honestly dig it?

Also, I feel like the anime definitely sorta hit a brick wall when we got here because we sorta just went to heavy modern day and I feel like if MAPPA wasn't busy as hell nowadays, and they got to make a new Garo it'd feel a bit stagnant to place it in the same era/it'd feel weird to go back in time to a different spot in history? Though if we're asking me I'd just like a movie for Vanishing Line since I love this cast so much for varying reasons.

But yeah, expect me to chime in where I can as I remember stuff! This'll be fun for me to watch you go through.
