Garo Yami wo Terasu Mono 07 released
Wiki http://wiki.tvnihon.com/wiki/Garo_Yami_07
Ugh, not liking this episode so far. Seems to be full of filler stuff. I guess it's a Takeru episode, so why is he doing stupid stuff like letting the people go into the trap house or letting the monster escape. That's so dumb.
Eh. I guess the episode was built around getting to know about that family, but can't say I terribly cared. Takeru's bad freak out at the end didn't help. I hate it when they treat throwing a tantrum as acting. I remember when that girl slapped the mom's hand away, I thought, "Man, you are going to regret that later."
Probably the weakest episode yet for this new series. I really wonder about some of the direction choices in this episode. From the shots of people's legs to just women kissing. They were pretty attractive, but within the context of the series it didn't fit. It just looked like the director wanted to make some girls kiss.
At least I have a bit of trivia for you. Most of the family's names are happiness related. Sachi means "happiness", yoshi means "good", and genki means "peppy". Rui, however, is a homophone for the word "tears" in Japanese. Plus Rui has a mole under her left eye like a tear mark.
Other stuff that I thought was dumb/inconsistent. The voice changes for the monsters for the guys and girls. Served no purpose besides to remind the viewer "oh hey, these guys are Horrors." However, after that point, they talk normally. Takeru's has the knight effect on his voice the first time he talks in his armor, but he talks normally when he calls out to Ryuuga. Ryuuga responds with his voice changed though.
Also, quit it with the Garo grunts. This isn't a damn Sentai. Can we please have a Horror interesting and strong enough to justify the knight suits and stuff? I know it's hard to justify having three knights on screen, but do try. I mean, it was done so well in Dungeon.
If you enjoyed the mv during the CM here's the full version:

Re: Garo Yami wo Terasu Mono 07 released
I hated this episode from a timing stand point, with the family being soooo uber happy it was painful on the ears and just made me want to stab something, if your looking for a bad episode, this is it,
I also have to question the need to have takeru kissing that girls legs, it seemed like the scene was just there to sell sex again, not something you need shoved in your face week in week out, sure a couple of times during the series would be fine, but not all the time, kinda narks me slightly, its more irritating when you have to time it as it does make you think you are watching a porno.
Even the gold wave stuff felt a tad forced this time, I would rather they just start explaining Ryuugas back story now instead of just showing his mother during a gold wave attack, its getting a tad stupid now in that regards of not explaining anything.

Re: Garo Yami wo Terasu Mono 07 released
I liked the episode, very good fights, we finally see the man in black and interesting plot, but... Are they really going to sell us the same Madou horror design over and over?
I thing one of the bad things of this season is the lack of differents horror, with the CGI. But if the madou horrors are going to be also identical...

I liked this. Big fan of Takeru and Ryuga double teaming the horror as well. Nice twist ending also.

I liked this episode as well. Sure, there are elements that really seems silly or dumb, but also some very cringe worthy moments. The beginning where the manager licked the picture gave me the creeps to no end. Besides, looks like Rui will be a recurring character, so there's that.
GARO has always been more about human interaction than most other toku. I mean, tell me seeing Takeru flipping out didn't touch your heart a bit.

Re: Garo Yami wo Terasu Mono 07 released
What an awesome ep. Finally, a last knight to summon his armor on.
I liked it, and I am not surprised if Takeru reacted like that at end, he's passion type of guy. One that lives by emotions rather than by logic, opposite of that archer guy. I guess I understand why they picked actor to play Takeru, it must be a bit embarrassing doing all those stuff that Takeru does in show so far.
I hope that girl keep coming back or become something important to Takeru. I thought at first it was earring that girl pulled from Takeru but turns out it's hair piece thing. Lol.
Man...I can't wait until it is reveal why it stings Garo with all those lights and what they are.

Re: Garo Yami wo Terasu Mono 07 released
I'm in the hate camp. The weird video effects on the happy family, the weird laughing of the family, Takeru's freakout... I think those were the hardest to tolerate parts. At least we see some good fights, even though it's CGI armor... and it looks like they're setting up the girl to be a regular?

Re: Garo Yami wo Terasu Mono 07 released
I'm in the It Sucked camp.
Ok, Garo is what I call a "victim horror" where usually the story is about some victim who gets stalked by the monster of the week and the hero zooms in at the end and kills the monster preventing the next victim's fate. I've seen this in a lot of other Japanese horror shows like Vampire Miyu (especially the TV show version but the original OAVs as well), the Eko Eko Azarak movies and it's really clear in the first season of Garo. But, I think most of us are more interested in the urban fantasy elements and the metastory (especially in that first season with Kouga and Rei and Kouru).
So it's a real late night show and they're trying to sell it with gratuitous sex as well, which leaves me just rolling my eyes because it's not well-used. The generic horrors look bad. One guy this episode was clearly wearing a mask which ended in back. It was just crappy. It seems like the Madou horrors have 3 tiers, but it's not clear that's significant. Maybe sometimes they convert like the boss and sometimes they become ghouls. Unless they're going to turn everybody in the city into horrors, I don't think we care.
Also, the characters are just not that interesting. The armor-up and some screen time and that terrible and forced wailing at the end are what pass for character development? Bah. I think the current sentai show had more character development in 3 episodes than this season so far. They shouldn't even call this show Garo, they should call it Makai Senki 2 since it's about the group. Frankly the only characters who seem interesting are the archery guy and Rian. IJDGAF about the lead character. He's bland. And when the characters just finally catch on to something that's been obvious since about the first or second episode it's not a meaningful reveal, it just makes them look stupid.

Re: Garo Yami wo Terasu Mono 07 released
Frankly the sex scene this time was just ridiculous to the point where it kinda looked like he gave her an orgasm just by sucking on her leg.
And now he's hitting on 15 year olds? Gai, some standards please.

Re: Garo Yami wo Terasu Mono 07 released
There were definitely some poor choices from a director's standpoint (unnecessary camera angles, no point in having the girls kiss, somewhat unmotivated wailing by Takeru at the end, etc) but I don't think the episode sucked completely. So I gotta ask, what's the difference between regular Horrors and Madou Horrors? Is there any physical difference between the two?

Re: Garo Yami wo Terasu Mono 07 released
Congrats, Takeru. You now have a 15 year old girlfriend to take care of.
Come to think of it, didn't the second Rider in Makai Senki also get a tragic episode about a school girl too?
It's not a terrible episode, but a lot of parts fell flat to me. It was hard to feel for Takeru since his freak out at the end was so fake and annoying.

Re: Garo Yami wo Terasu Mono 07 released
I guess I have a different view of Takeru in this episode. I see it that he wants to be happy but he can't find through the countless banging he has with women. So when he met that family who was so fill with happiness and eventually ended up dead, he took it as a failure of achieving of his own happiness and being unable to protect the happiness of others. There are 26 episodes in this series. There will be time for character development.
Re: Garo Yami wo Terasu Mono 07 released
Having three Makai Knights for this show is pretty bad since it only has 26 episodes. I mean there's not really much you can do to develop their characters within such a short time. But I'll continue to watch the series to see how well they do with the characters. I'm also hoping to see Ryuga develop more. The arrow guy I want to see more too and for Takeru/Zen the Flame Sword Knight I just don't like him since I'm more used to him as Gai/Gokai Silver.

Re: Garo Yami wo Terasu Mono 07 released
"Garo s3e7 is a train-wreck, and not the good kind. It left me feeling underwhelmed and empty."
I liked the idea of this week's villain luring families to the house to eat, but it wasn't executed very well.
The most aggravating thing to me is Takeru freaking out. He barely had a paragraph with that girl, and suddenly he's upset over her well being to that extent? Makes zero sense to me.
Doesn't seem like Ryuga can wear the Garo armor anywhere near 99.9 seconds. Also, I miss the timer.
This episode bombed. I think they were drunk the entire production of this one. Speaking of, is it the same producers/directors/writers?

I love how you said Rider instead of Knight but yeah the second knight did have a tragic episode about a school girl although it ended pretty well.takenoko wrote:Congrats, Takeru. You now have a 15 year old girlfriend to take care of.
