I might actually leave a bit of a gap before I get around to that and the special/movie thing, because darn it, that finale was so good I think I owe it to it to let that sit for a bit. Despite going out of its way to assure us the story of GARO is far from over, it's like I said at the start -- best not to treat this series as a mere starter pack for more stuff.

Because, really, it's totally complete, as is, you know? Even if this franchise never did take off the way it obviously deserved to, these 25 episodes alone really feel like they kind of said and did everything they wanted to do, while bringing it all to a suitably satisfying and epic conclusion.

The DVD special is... well, it's interesting. For a start, it was definitely made closer to the midpoint of the show than the end. Second, it's mostly just some quiet character stuff that's really good but developed in definitely odd ways. It's a lot of fun, but definitely a tonal shift when watched right after the finale.
