Garo Makai no Hana 19 released

Interesting Horror this time. Maybe a bit more on flavor than substance though. For some reason he reminded me of zombie Michael Jackson

Contrast this with the quiet scenes with Mayuri and the record player. It made moments that interrupted the serenity seem to stand out more. Especially at the end when Mayuri tells Raiga that the endgame is coming.

Man, we've been hitting the slab monsters like crazy lately. This one is 7 of 9, so that just leaves two left.

I just wanted to punch the horror in the face while timing this week, so annoying, but I guess that is what they were going for, at times I was thinking there was multiple horrors, but it was just the one with a split personality

Kinda sad for me during the epilogue/quiet scene... literally. But I love the music.

That's one hell of a fight between Garo and Abyss Core with a Garo theme music.

I’m a sucker for music themed episodes, especially when they incorporate the show’s theme song or normal soundtrack. The episode was a bit lackluster for me otherwise. I don’t think anyone was surprised that the Horror grabbed Mayuri. Raiga might be too kind-hearted to use her deliberately as bait, but they should really assume that the Horror is going to target her over any civilians or Makai folk nearby.

Back to the music, I was amused that they stuck with classical suites that they probably didn’t have to pay any royalties to use. I did like the choice for Mayuri’s suite. As the Horror pointed out, Swan Lake does seem to thematically fit her character, at least on the surface.

Another sucker for music episodes here. I loved the long take at the end, very beautiful.

This horror also reminded me MJ's 'The Ghost' and for some reason it also reminded me 'Bettle Juice' I was kinda expecting his horror form should have white and black stripes :P

And then throw in a bit of romance at the end, lol. I hope something big does end up happening soon, unlike Pokémon where they make it seem like the filler episode is sort of canon by saying things like, "We've gotta prepare for the next gym leader coming up soon", but it really doesn't happen until about fifty episodes later.

The Horror's makeup in his first appearance reminded me a bit of Tim Minchin. Kinda puts me in the mood for his "Dark Side" song. Loved the fight to the Tusk of Thunder orchestration.

The showdown fight would have been a great place to use the original season 1 opening song. That was just the best.

Except it wouldn't, since that's very specifically Kouga's theme.

Wow, I really like what they did with that last scene - it looked like one seamless shot without any cuts.

on an unrelated note I wonder who would be the one that undid the seal on slab in the first place. In old Garo series we would get a hint or two by now but I can't make heads or tails of what we had in this series. One twist would be it was Kouga's old makai priest buddies who thought he and Kaoru are dead and tries to bring them back. Another one is it is either Kouga or Kaoru who is trying to bring back other one. Another one would be someone who wanted Mayuri being awaken from her slumber and will use seed to bring her back or someone will try to use Mayuri to bring back a horror even more powerful than Eiris. Posibiliries are endlss but not having a clue kinda kills me :p

I love how much swag Raiga has. Just sitting in the seat clapping reminds me of when Kouga purchased all the tickets for that one horror in season 2. Raiga is so badass that he can make horror musicians play his theme.

Some nice music this week.

Odd to have them fight to Swan Lake.
