Here we go again: another spring, another new Garo series. A preview episode aired in Japan yesterday with the proper season premiere airing next week. Over-Time was kind enough to sub the preview:

Here's to another fun year in the vaguely distant future with Ryuga, Rian, and an actual practical suit.

I've been interested to watch GARO for some time now. Is this show standalone or is it a continuation of another GARO series.

I can't wait for this, I love Ryuuga and Rian and less CGI will be amazing too.

Sometimes I wish they did a new GARO series, this time they'd have a real FEMALE Makai Knight!

This is a sequel to 2013's The One Who Shines in the Darkness series. There's also a movie that came out recently that serves as a prequel to the show, but that won't be available for fansubbing until later this year.

You know they have bullshit rules against why females can't be Makai Knights. It's like how dudes can't be Sailor Scouts, or why Kyubey only goes after little girls in Madoka: Japan's just selectively segregated with their shows, based on who they're mainly aimed towards.

I would love for that to happen too, but I'm not holding my breath.

I never understand why. Remember Saint Seiya Omega? Aquila? At least she didn't have her mask on anyway.

I can imagine for the next series, if Raiga still appears and hopefully Kouga comes back. I would imagine 5 Makai Knights (4 boys & 1 girl for the first time).

I would imagine the female one wielding a rapier mixed as a whip.

I agree it's a BS rule, but it doesn't really bother me as half the time Makai Priests/Alchemists are cooler than the Knights. I don't feel as if Garo is lacking badass women, they're just badass in a different way. Though I will admit it would be awesome to see Jabi armor up.

Something along the lines of the the swords won't allow them to wield them, save for having the bone of male wielder or relative inserted into their sword arm (nasty stuff).

Magic can be sexist, what can I say?

Too bad they don't throw in more all rounders like Dan who is both strong in weapons and magics.
They should also make a spinoff of some male priests band to balance out the number of knights.
