Garo -Gold Storm- Shou 10 released

Post by takenoko »

Wiki: http://wiki.tvnihon.com/wiki/Garo_-Gold_Storm-_Shou_10

Episode was kind of all over the place, but not in a totally bad way. However, it does feel a bit hard to have a cohesive opinion on it since there were so many storylines going on.

We have Ryuuga fighting Zeraaza. Jinga and Amily are leading Gald into a trap. And we have Rian and Ryume doing research. A lot of it seems like set up for future episodes, which is good. It creates a throughline for the main plot, even while Ryuuga is fighting the Horror of the week.

It was kind of funny to see Jinga and Amily beating up a weak Horror who was basically a shirtless guy.

Speaking of which, Gald is a small guy compared to Mr. Decade. Or maybe he's really tall.

The lightning battle was fun. I think they're doing a better job with characterizing Ryuuga this time around. They're really showing off his spontaneity. He really doesn't think too far ahead, does he?

Mr Decade is 1.82m tall according to wikipedia, which is nearly 6 feet. He's a few inches taller than the average Japanese male.

Overall I liked the episode. The actress playing the lightning horror seemed to really be into doing her casting moves. I'm unsure if she was overdoing it or if the VFX guys weren't keeping up with her. She was COMMITTED though and I liked that. I saw her name in the wiki was Mie but I wasn't able to dig up more info with a quick Google. She looks familiar though!

I really really enjoyed Mr. Decade effortlessly dodging the uppity brat's moves and then smacking him down. That boy needed to be taken down 3 pegs. I also enjoyed seeing Rian doing research with their official contact instead of that crusty old perv.

Having more info revealed was good. But, I have to confess I'm now having visions of the castle from Kiva.

The actress' name is odd since it includes kanji: 未唯mie

Can you believe she's 57 years old? Almost 60.

Oh dear. Turns out our smug Priest wasn't as good as he thought he was.
