Garo Makai Senki 12 released
Oh... so Rei broke up with his high school girlfriend...
Honestly, I didn't like this episode. It was predictable and the characters weren't as fun as the old couple. They were creepy, but they were also sort of interesting.
This was just uncomfortable to watch. "Oh yeah, some parents abuse their kids. Thanks for that story?"

Abusive mom was pretty creepy and I just got kinda confused by it all.
Rei eating four crepes at once was pretty lulzy though.

In the HD version, while Rei was standing in front of the river, parts of his coat appeared transparent or glittering. Is this an encoding glitch or a codec failure on my end?
As for the plot, I didn't think it was a case of "abusive mom," but Horror possessing mom, for whatever unspecified motive. It was another of the tragic family themes Rei's episodes have, besides the samurai guy.

Re: Garo Makai Senki 12 released
A time stamp would be useful for questions like that.
I think they hint that she's abusive before becoming a Horror. She still sniffs her daughter in the flashback plus she had driven her daughter to committing suicide, which caused the whole thing. The daughter really is the victim here.

I'm not convinced of the hints of abuse prior to the Horror's arrival. Sniffing to make sure Misao hasn't been eating sweets is odd, but we don't know how far the admonishment goes. Mother might be controlling, but she shows more concern than I would expect of one who is abusive, even getting herself hit by the car. As for the suicide attempt, well teen girls can be overly dramatic.

Re: Garo Makai Senki 12 released
It's like that in the raw too. I'm guessing it's sloppy green screening
As for the abuse thing, there's also the scratch marks on Misao's arm. I guess you could say that the Horror did that, but I dunno. I kind of feel like they show parallels between the present and the past to show that this isn't necessarily a new development for mommy dearest.

Re: Garo Makai Senki 12 released
I like this episode, despite the fact it was a random Rei episode. It's cool to see the origin of his sweet tooth, and little things like putting Silva around his neck for the flashback were nice touches.
Abusive mother was very strange though.

Re: Garo Makai Senki 12 released
It'd be funny if Rei really doesn't have a sweet tooth, but just eats them to please women. "Hey baby, I got diabetes for you."
I mean, if you didn't like sweets before, I don't see how eating a tart will turn that sentiment 180 degrees around.
I forgot to mention that it was neat the way they included Kaoru in the ending sequence. Rei dropping off sweet presents at her window and disappearing seems just like him.

Re: Garo Makai Senki 12 released
Another really good episode. I really liked it. It's funny how all of Rei's MOTW episodes are consistently better than Kouga's. I enjoyed Kouga's episodes but Rei's enemies tend to be more...developed, I guess?
Am I the only one freaked out when the Horror ate the mother from the...pubic area >_< , the absolute glee from the Horror and the fact that the girl saw the whole thing?!
My theory about this episode is...lesbian love between mother and daughter ><. The mother wasn't abusive but we see that she touched, sniffed and stroke tooo much and I guess Rei saw it too since we're following Rei's POV. To explain the suicide, the relationship was two-way and I guess the girl felt guilty about it(just my speculation). After the Horror's possession, it was then that the mother becomes...not exactly abusive but...obsessive, I guess, and being a Horror, tend to hold her too tightly. Again, the fact that the girl sometimes hold herself really tightly hints that she's not wholly against it.
I'll stop now and try to think about something else >_>...

Re: Garo Makai Senki 12 released
I was going to mention this as well. They always do a good job in making that credit section relevant, even if Kaoru isn't in the episode.I forgot to mention that it was neat the way they included Kaoru in the ending sequence.

Re: Garo Makai Senki 12 released
What a boring episode. The fights and the drama were lame. This is adult toku and this episode was straight from a teen drama except for the mother becoming a kaijin and getting killed by a guy in silver wolf armor.
They tried to show that Rei is connected to somebody, but it wasn't well done.
And Rei giving Kaoru sweets is so much more natural than her "romance" with Kouga...
It's time for them to start showing the main plot, or they won't have time to do it properly. Unless it's a lame plot.

Re: Garo Makai Senki 12 released
I too had some question marks in my head when I saw the horror eat the guy a-la 69.
I agree with the statements about this being a less than stellar episode. I did enjoy the season 1 plots more, as they just seemed darker and made more sense.
Today's horror brought to you buy Kaku Ranger! (Amikiri).

Re: Garo Makai Senki 12 released
I'm in the camp of thinking that there was foreshadowing, and the kind mother became domineering, insisting her daughter follow in her footsteps. Eventually it became at least mentally abusive. (And think of how weird it was she checked her daughter everywhere after hearing she wasn't hit by the car, she looked like she wanted to strip her and inspect her).
Overall, pretty dull which is sad. I could write more interesting monster of the week episodes than whoever is cranking these out. Thank goodness for ~~preview!!~~.

Re: Garo Makai Senki 12 released
It may have been teen drama-ish, but at least it was more "adult" than most of the episodes so far. I've been disappointed with pretty much every episode until now, so it was nice to finally have something that didn't feel like it could work as a generic children's Toku ep (let's go off and find a mythical beast to stroke with our brushes!).m4rc0 wrote:What a boring episode.
