Can we please stop referring to Ikeda Junya's character as "Gai"? He's not Gai, he's not GokaiSilver. His name in this is Takeru or, if you feel like using their designations (as in Garo instead of Ryuuga), his is Zen.

It really wouldn't bother me so much, if not for the fact that the archer's designation is Gai. It's confusing.

This is the first time I'm watching a Garo series so um... yeah, nudity and sex in a toku is like, really, REALLY new to me.

Question: Have the "suits" in Garo always been CG? They're not that bad, but I just noticed after that really well choreographed fight on the escalators before they transformed, the CG animation just doesn't seem as smooth by comparison.

No, there are actual suit actors underneath. CGI was mostly used for really visceral fights

(Garo vs Dark Garo in Makai Senki)
or any scene where Garo is riding Gouten. Most of the other CGI heavy scenes involve green screens with actual suit actors.

This episode felt like the by product of GARO x Kamen Rider W. I wonder if the group that owns this city is going to be like the wealthy monster family in KRW? I mean they both turn people into monsters, both groups own their cities, and I get the feeling Ryuuga is going to be related to them somehow like Phillip was to the monster family. I mean they both couldn't remember their pasts and can only obtain full power once they do.

Oops if I just gave a way the whole plot to this season.

I didn't like how this week's episode took place during the day. The SG-1 suits look a lot less menacing, as well as the Horror/Garo CGI battle. Play to your strengths, Garo series!
Yes! I was just going to mention this. Creepy and Dark is what I have come to expect from Garo! The first episode had the right idea. 8)

I think it's okay for the far shots, it actually looked alright when they were at a distance but up close it just popped off the background in a very obtrusive way. It actually ruined the fight for me because it looked so garbage.

I'm a little surprised and really hope the CGI for the armor doesn't look this bad throughout. The fact is that the suit from the first series still looks the best.

Still a good episode, I'm really rooting for this series to do well. Everything else has been great. Tits.

Well, guess most of us can never look back at Gokaiger the same ever again.

You know what would have made this episode better? If he was having sex with Luka or Ahim (did I spell her name right?) The gokaiger fandom would have exploded

Is that so? I'd only seen it on Tumblr so far and the common spelling around those parts is Gai.

Either way, it feels a bit insulting to Ikeda Junya to keep referring to this character by his older character's name. In my opinion, they have nothing in common but the face, I think he's doing a really good job with it.

Man I missed Garo so much! Thanks a lot for this episode it was good!. I really like that the series feels completely brand new but it keeps the elements that make the first 2 series so good. Really like the spin off story or probably sequel and now I'm interested to know who really Ruuga is and why he is Garo.

I was a fool for not reading the warning before while watching. Oh well, good thing I closed it in time without anyone noticing.

Oh, Hiyori's dad (Or Eye Dopant) is the motw. And I guess he knows nothing about those Makai Knights because he was constructed instead of produced... the way actual horrors do.

So there are two kinds of horrors in Volcity. Something tells me that these Madou Horrors are actually the work of those goddess statues. Like, reviving someone but putting them in a Madou Horror body.
