So there's something fascinating to me about Poker. It might've been stumbling upon the Travel Channel one night and there being some Poker Games being broadcast in cool looking arenas with cool graphics. But I've always enjoyed watching it, never playing it though.

Never felt I was good at it. This also includes whenever I attempted to play Poker Night at the Inventory 2. Fun Game, hilarious character driven banter, I wish I knew how to play but I somehow managed to bluff my way enough to unlock some cool skins and backdrops.

This is to say, I enjoy watching poker related episodes in my shows. It's why despite it's average nature, my favorite episode in the DMC Anime is its Poker Episode.

This episode is the same, there's this fun tense atmosphere and yeah I'll agree that the Horror is a bit obvious, considering they got Kohei Murakami as a guest star. Especially considering who wrote for this episode. But it's still rather fun to see how Kouga outsmarts this Horror in the end.

That said...

I guess Inoue doesn't know his poker as good as we'd assume he would. Either that or it was just a slip of the mind. Anyway this episode marks Toshiki Inoue's first and only guest writing credit on GARO from what I can tell. Which is kind of hilarious given the subject matter of the next episode.
