Well let's give them more and then collect our checks". And generally, they seem to agree with me that such things are ultimately pointless. the creators genuinely believed there was more of the story they wanted to tell. What exactly is an anniversary anime you may ask? Well it's basically when more of a franchise is created specifically to fulfill an obligatory lifetime achievement rather than because You guys remember those Marvel anime from a while back? You don't? Well that's because with maybe the exception of the Wolverine anime, they were so half-assed on the production side of things that nobody could drum up any interest for seeing anime's version of Tony Stark shoot people, and this new iteration of the Garo franchise is pretty much Mappa recreating that dark period back when they were still Madhouse because "anniversary anime" I guess. Please do not watch this show and if you do, make sure you watch the Previous Garo prior. They should have took the time to refine the upcoming movie that is a sequel to the previous Garo. This anime was a pain to watch and I wish it was never made. This show really hurt me man, I only respected it and watched all 24 episodes out of love for its previous version. Unfortunately he is shoved aside to make room for the horrible main characters and eventually loses his motivation to get revenge. Only decent character is another Makai Knight who is out for revenge due to the one who killed his brother. Everybody knows that this is probably the worst thing you can do to a strong female lead. Our female lead is the mentor of the Protagonist but as the story progresses she ends up being reduced to a damsel in distress. To nobody's surprise this Protagonist doesn't have a strong personality at all, if everyone wasn't always looking to him to save them he wouldn't even be a worthy side character to mention. The Protagonist suddenly and randomly gains the ability to control his power but there is no change in how he fights, it felt like it was forced in there to try and show that this character has changed but he doesn't. Just as painful as the Story the characters have no development. Too bad the show wasn't just as satisfying Nothing special, the ED was pretty good to get you pumped up. If I can't see anything at night how can I enjoy the art let alone the characters or story. They would attempt to have fights in the dark and you couldn't see a thing other than the subtitles that were provided. The character designs were actually good, nothing too fancy but there were times in the show when I couldn't see a thing due to the overwhelming darkness. Not only did this not help the show at all but it severely brings the show lower than it was prior. Near the end the anime made a decent attempt at creating a likable story but ruined it completely with asspulls to save characters with no reason. Over half of the series is focused on "The Horror of the Week" having the Protagonist defeat them time and time again with no real progression. The story follows our lead Raikou, his assistant, and his mentor as they protect the city from various threats.Īlthough the setting and idea of the show is great and almost identically matches the setting of the previous version, this series didn't have a plot until the very last episodes. Our Protagonist is one of the many Makai Knights but the armor he wears is a legendary armor that has been passed down for generations, the Golden Knight Garo. There are Makai Knights and Makai Alchemists who have the power to defeat these horros and are heavily relied upon to protect humans from this threat. is similar to that of the previous Garo an old medieval fantasy type setting where there are monsters called Horrors that manifest from the darkness in a humans heart. Garo: Honoo no Kokuin is the first story told, Garo: Guren no Tsuki is an alternate universe with completely different characters with the only similarities being the casual villains and the means of defeating them. This will honestly be a slight comparison of how this anime failed to compared to it's previous version. This was really a disgrace, I honestly do not want to make a review for this but considering the previous version of Garo made my top 10 anime the season it aired I felt the excessive need to write a review on this horrible alternate version of Garo.
