Question: Have the "suits" in Garo always been CG? They're not that bad, but I just noticed after that really well choreographed fight on the escalators before they transformed, the CG animation just doesn't seem as smooth by comparison.
Well, go and watch the first arc and you'll be blown away by the last episodes...

Anyway, the armors has been made both with CG and with standard materials since in some scenes they need to make it appear/disappear flawlessly, fly around, decompose in brilliant dust etc. Basically they use whatever method looks better.
The special "Garo TV" (the making of a movie) shows the rope-fu scenes and the green screen ones.

On this new Garo I've seen more high quality CG stuff, but sometimes the CG characters look too much like puppets due to bad physics.

Zaruba is our connection to the past. Also Ikeda is really trying to shed that kid show image huh? I like the series so far, but I need to see more. I think the CG was a little bit over done. They have always been able to decent fight scenes w/ wire work. IMO the CGI wasn't necessary for the action (visual effects, though? yeah).

I knew I recognized that guy playing the horror! He's Mad Gallant!

Oh, Way to go, Gai. And Garo shows fanservice again. Gai's jacket/coat is pretty cool.

Lian is super hot. But I prefer her in civillian clothes. That black wig and glasses suited her perfectly.

So, Magic horrors that are forecfully put into capable people and can act during the day. That's an interesting new concept for the series.

So, Vol city is run by a single family. Obviously, they`ll have something to do with the horrors.

The action was amazing again. This series started very well.

I wonder why the armor was flashing like that ang giving Ryu flashbacks.

It seems pretty obvious from the opening sequence that this wasn't just some passing of the baton. Also,
Spoiler
the ending to the last series suggested (to me, at least) that Kouga died in the Promised Land. If that's the case, then Zaruba may have been recovered, but we could assume the armour was destroyed and had to be reforged (hence the opening).


Some other questions arise from the armour's reaction. Is it rejecting him because there's no contract? Is it trying to show him that only those with pure intent (deep down, at least) can use it? Considering these Horrors have makai energy, it could just be a reaction similar to putting two magnets together... But it could also have a much deeper meaning. Sure, he was given the Garo armour, but has he earned it? The armour seemed to begin fully glowing only after he showed determination in cutting down the Horror. Before that, the glow seemed to be caused by an explosive release of makai energy (note the glow when he was fighting by the escalators before summoning the armour) and at first seemed to be reflected on the armour, but later the whole thing was glowing, which leads to another theory:
Spoiler
Could it be the Garo armour is somehow low on power and is absorbing the makai energy from the Horror to "fill its batteries"?


Gai and Lian are obviously the eye candy for this season, and I love the fact that there's now a prominent archer (too many Makai swordsmen in this world). Lian's strangely overdressed for a Makai Priest, but the outfit really seems to suit her personality thus far. She's no Rekka, but I've certainly got no complaints. I wonder if the gun was one of the new developments to make priests less of a support role after the events of last season...

I also have to wonder if the new form of Horror is also related to last season's events. Leo did a lot of experimentation with Inga when developing his technology, and this would be a viable development of that research. It also might mean the Horrors have some immunity/resistance to attack and (as Zaruba pointed out) can keep off the radar.

I didn't see the last movie yet (like many others) so I don't know what happened to Kouga, but yes Zaruba being passed is indeed a major thing.
I doubt they're not going to explain it properly and for the same reason I doubt that it's just there to avoid the alienation of the existing fanbase (since everything else radically changed).

Previously on Garo:
Spoiler
Zaruba was damaged and the repairing method wasn't something easy to do at all (and surely not by any random priest), also its memory was deleted at some point. Each sentient device forges a contract with a Knight to work properly and forging a new one should be on the same level as the repairing process, requiring a master priest and a proper ritual... and most probably a horror's blood or some other special material so... yeah, Zaruba's presence is a BIG element in Garo3.


If they do the same they did with the 'goldfish' embedded in Kouga's coat in Garo2 we'll need to see that movie to know what happened.

I think Takeru says 'まあでも, 金城津 おうさますぐが支配するまちから', it's mean: "But, King Kaneshiro Tsu has since ruled in the city". So, where's the family. That's what I wonder, because it affects the plot of the series. Thank you!

I wondered if it was Kaneshiro Tsuu, but I wasn't sure since I didn't get any results from google. I thought I heard zoku in there, but that might have been a mistake.

Hmm, maybe it is 金城ズ Kaneshirozu - Kaneshiros. I'm sure that the writer had intended such, because Kaneshiro Group is including the business and commerce industry, I thought.

Guys, I don't like that this show has relied heavily on CGI for the armor fight scenes now. You hardly get to see the actual suit anymore. I don't know if its because its too heavy for the suit actors to wear or other reasons, I just dont like it. Seeing a CGI armor fight is like seeing a CGI Superman in the last episode of Smallville. It's that bad for me. Anyways, the boobies was a little random in the beginning. Not used to seeing Gai be a mature character now. The main thing that did shock me was Ryuuga's problem with the armor. Wonder what the flashback scenes are all about. Oh yeah, Lian is hot. I will enjoy seeing her in this series. She doesn't have Rekka's nice legs but she still is pretty to look at.

Well, I must admit, it is getting more interesting. The new dramatic scene music is OK although it sounds a bit like a budget version of the original theme.

It doesn't really bother me how much CGI they use so long as the story's good. I also prefer Rian in civilian clothes. Hopefully they'll reveal more about her because she hasn't really got much of an introduction like Kaoru did. All we know is that she wears civilian disguises. Maybe they're going to introduce someone else, although I doubt it because she's in the ending.

Have to admit, I wasn't expecting to like this series just because Kouga wasn't around, but the new guy isn't that bad. Also, the fact the armor is, for lack of better words, incomplete, is a nice touch. A Makai Priest with a gun? that's new and interesting.

I'd really like to know how much time has passed since the end of "Makai Senki" to "Yami wo Terasu Mono". I mean, Zaruba being rare is kind of a given since he's a smartass that didn't even hold back when talking bluntly with Kouga or Rei or even Leo.

Still, this series has a good line up and plot points to start connecting.

Also, can't wait to see the other armors. In the Preview:

The archer in the preview looks cool
