I rather like Rian being a troll during the "hostage" scene.

I'm amazed how Director/Writer Keita Amemiya improved the story of Garo under Ryuuga Dougai. It's a huge difference from Yami wo Terasu Mono. It feels like I'm watching one whole movie divided into series of episodes.

It's funny, I was thinking the same thing, but the other way around. I liked Yami better than any other Garo, probably because it was my first, (I've marathoning the previous 2 right before beginning Yami, but it was my first on weekly basis.)
There was something with the characters that I couldn't explain, something like they were destined to be together. I really can't explain. I sorta got the same feeling in Once Upon A Time, or at least something similar.

So let's not judge this one before it end, it just began. For now, I liked it (like every others Garo before this one, I just liked Yami better).

It just makes me want to watch it all in a marathon ... half hour is too short.

At least the out of costume fight scenes appear to be impressive.

The first two episodes aren't really doing anything for me yet. Overall, the fight scene in the 2nd episode felt a bit overly dragged out, like they producers knew they didn't have enough footage, and so decided to pad it with an overly long battle. I am also not really feeling the energy in the series. I can't explain it. Yami no Terasu had a certain vibrancy and slickness in the overall pacing and fight choreography that I am just not experiencing yet.

I mean, this isn't some new Garo series with new characters. Do we really need to devote the first few episodes to showing off how the main characters kick butt? We know they are strong already.

Nice touch to see Burai, Takeru and Aguri mentioned, albeit briefly. Might we see a guest appearance by them some time in the future?

The final scene of Ep2 makes me wonder if we will see something similar to Makai Senki, where Kouga gets that seal of destruction in the first episode. Could result in Ryuga getting some new power or drawback that will be a main plot point for the whole series (though to be fair, the seal of destruction didn't really kick in until the 2nd half).

Regardless, I am sticking it out with this series. :)

I'm surprised to see so many remarks complaining about the episode/series. I'm already liking it more than YWTM (which I did enjoy though it was different), and it feels more like the original Garo. Let's enjoy it for what it is.
I’m the one nightmares are afraid of.

I think the complaints are about the CGI fights I'm not sure why people are still complaining about it

I'm not sure why people shouldn't.

I don´t understand why Yukihime says to Ryuuga that he needs to shave. I never saw him with a mustache or beard.

That line confused me as well. I guess the implication is that Ryuuga's been up all night doing Makai Knight work. We're just supposed to take her word for it, I guess.

Is it possible that the line got translated wrong?

Nope, that line is correct. It's just an odd line.
