Welcome aboard! Happy to have you along bud!

Enough to put up with the mediocre GomenRider subs that are giving me traumatic flashbacks to rewatching Faiz, even.

I am absolutely down for a revival of Fish Scrubs, the unofficial side show which showcases various translation missteps.

There was actually a rather kind user who PM'd me where to find the GomenRider subs, and no offense to them, what they did was very nice, but after some skimming I decided to stick with TV-Nihon. Sure, every episode so far has had a line or two that I personally would've written differently ontop of the trademark TV-N literal translations(I'm convinced that "Mou" is something they'll never translate), but overall they aren't bad. I've read much worse.

Boy, if only those official subs had continued being uploaded to YouTube. Woulda solved alot of problems.

I think 3 is the easy gold standard to point to, where it's literally called "Clock", the climax is Kouga fighting an entire clock tower (which, holy s***, what a brilliant escalation), and we learn about how Kaoru is racing against the clock, far more than she already feels like she is throughout the episode.

There's a reason episode 3 is the one that establishes the formula as it were. It's real good!

but I'm really loving everything I've seen of this series to this point, and can't wait to see more.

This actually made me realize that I probably should've noted this at the start of the thread(I'll be sure to edit it in after this post), but I also plan to include the 3 sequel movies in this watch. Those being Beast of the White Knight, Red Requiem, and Kiba Gaiden. I actually have the official DVDs of all of these, so I'm not sure how I'll get screenshots, but still, should be fun to see how the now out of print official subs compare to TV-N.

Season 2 and onwards of the GARO franchise will be at a much later date, as like with the three seasons of the anime I plan to take a solid break between each major season.
