There's no point anymore since it seems like Jitterbug has stopped subbing it. I'll just wait for Nihon's subs and watch them raw when the DVDs come out.

This series is rockin'. It has all of the quirkiness that makes an Amemiya production what it is. Great costumes and settings and excellent action, wirework, direction and coreography by Yokoyama Makoto (Sh15uya and Kamen Rider The First). The wirework, btw, isn't used to the effect you would see in Chinese fantasy movies and is more about making the action (chase scenes and fights) more frenetic and amazing.

The story is slow to build but very much set on a series-wide arc. I prefer that to the standard of stuffing all the background info in the first 5 or 6 eps and then winding up needing filler eps down the road. I have a feeling this story will stay interesting all the way through.

There is always a "monster of the week" of course, but in between whichever current monster fight there is a bit of back-story on Kouga's (GARO) past stuck in, which cultivates new questions about him and answers a little bit here and there. And also we see the story arching around his desicion in the first episode to keep artist Kaoru Mitsuki alive, even though as a Makai Knight she was supposed to be killed since she's been tainted by the blood of a Horror (the demons that GARO fights).

Click on my sig file to check out synopsis of each ep as it comes out at Nightside Tokusatsu.

I thought I'd start a new thread for the latest in the GARO series. GARO Makaisenki starts October 6th.

Before this the 45 minute Gaiden Kiba the Dark Knight will come out on DVD on Sept 7th.

With last year's release of Red Requiem, it's a good year to be a GARO fan!

New Garo! Alright! But I still have to see Red Requiem, time to start looking.

I always thought Garo was just ....ok actually. It feels kind of like Ultraseven in the sense that as a fan we're expected to like it because it's a "classic" but it just didn't do much for me...

The designs of the kajin were all very similiar, and the lead was kind of a douche, while the 2nd "Rider" was incredibley unlikable to me...great effects and all that, but I prefered the more "Childish" Kamen Rider W (or even Max) as my modern classic go to toku series..

Makaisenki rocks even harder than the original series. Just saying.
