Garo Makai no Hana 04 released
http://wiki.tvnihon.com/wiki/Garo_Makai_no_Hana_04
Wow, what a fun episode. I was worried a bit at first, but seeing Garo take on a bunch of horror movie tropes was pretty great.
I'm starting to get annoyed with Mayuri's presence on these missions. I'd like to see her do something useful on them, instead of getting damseled and turning this into Raiga's unnecessary escort quest.

Re: Garo Makai no Hana 04 released
I didnt know what to think of at first, seemed very backwards with the zombie film and the slurred speech, but was also kind of creepy with the black and white style. Then comes Garo Vs Zombies, sure why not, Zombies are like horrors. The Scream section was slightly amusing, nice take on the mask of the killer.
The final fight looked like they used the majority of the budget for the CGI, but was a good use of it.
Mayuri really just seems to be a statue at times. Also what was up with Gonza at the start, I think I missed that aspect.

Oh, he's just posing for Raiga and apparently his jaw got stuck since he's old.
I actually didn't care for the CGI part. The Horror doesn't do much but yell at Raiga before everything gets burned down in like 2 seconds.
It's pretty interesting how they drop hints for how to beat the Horror throughout the episode. Raiga says at the beginning that he will destroy the Horror's world. Then in the projector booth, the Horror tells Raiga not to use fire. Then finally Raiga figures it out when the fire burns part of the film in the background.

Ah, old man issues
Thats interesting that the horror tells Raiga how to defeat him, what a silly horror.
Also to note the English credits at the start, not unexpected given they did it in Black Blood.

Re: Garo Makai no Hana 04 released
This episode seems very good. Using the movie for Horror is very interesting.
Wait... is that Amemiya Keita as a zombie in the movie?
What a good design for GRP (Garo Pictures). Maybe it is somehow based on the RKO Pictures (maybe it's the first logo). If not, correct me if i'm wrong.
Note: I'm not interested in watching some classic movies, but I only watch the old logos when I was a kid.

A pretty good episode, I enjoyed it.
During that Scream fight, anyone else notice that the background lights dim before the Light actually breaks from the throw?

Re: Garo Makai no Hana 04 released
I’m not really keen on traditional horror movies. Garo usually has one episode per series that incorporates traditional horror elements, so I figured this would be the episode this season that I squirm through and watch through my fingers. Instead, it was a pretty fun episode.
Despite my aversion to horror films, I didn’t have any problems identifying the movies/sub-genres that were being referenced, both verbally and as elements of his final Horror form. I particularly liked the Scream scene, and the attention to detail of the set dressers by including a brick-like phone handset. I got another chuckle from Zaruba acting like Freddy, Leatherface, and Jason were Garo-verse Horrors that he just hadn’t heard of.
I think another reason I enjoyed the episode was due to the nonchalant attitude Raiga and Zaruba had towards the various movie scenarios. When your protagonist isn’t scared, it’s harder to get the audience scared. We also got some very tongue in cheek dialogue, from discussing how special effects television shows are popular these days to Raiga smiling at the audience after that final line about him starring in a movie.
I assumed Gonza was posing like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream”. I think I read that the mask in Scream was inspired by that painting, so it would explain why they chose that pose for this episode. I was delighted to see Raiga drawing like his mom, but it got even funnier when everyone seemed to agree that he didn’t inherit her skill.

Re: Garo Makai no Hana 04 released
Yeah, a very funny episode all around. I'm also surprised they didn't capitalize on the pun of the term "Horror movie" and the "Horrors the demon beasts" more in this episode. But I think that's what Raiga was going for with his final line to the otaku he saved.
Pretty clever observation about Gonza doing the pose for The Scream. It makes a lot of sense

So the creatures look better with practical effect? You cunning.
Re: Garo Makai no Hana 04 released
Still a better horror than that opera actor in Makai Senki.
I don't really understand how the horror possession goes. The man surely still has his consciousness intact, so why did he suck in the horror maniac when he clearly appreciates those films as much as he does?
Edit: Still, it's funny when the guy explained to Raiga that those are practically not zombies.

Dragonfan, looks like you're hotlinking that image, so it's not showing up.

Re: Garo Makai no Hana 04 released
This episode was fun as hell. I'm not a horror movie fan but it was cool to see how someone reacts in those situations when they are able to fight effectively.
I really liked the fight too. I dunno why. It wasn't anything special but really enjoyable. For some reason I kept getting Gouraigan feels from the special effects.Azazel wrote: The final fight looked like they used the majority of the budget for the CGI, but was a good use of it.

Re: Garo Makai no Hana 04 released
By far (though i should say short) this is this is the most fun episode! The idea of mixing in the old movies was new and kind of refreshing, and scary. I don't watch horror movies (and no, Garo does not count) but this was fun, kudos to adding Silent of the Lambs at the end, and the Horror depicting Hannibal Lecter.
The action in this episode amazingly improved, though the ending was a bit un-climax-y since all Raiga did was burn the film, quite disappointing. But one thing good about it, i get to see Zaruba use flamethrower XD

Isn't that the guy that played the birdy Horror in Zero ~BLACK BLOOD~ or is it just my imagination?
The way he looks make the girls feel honored to be reeled in
