It was hardly plot point how Garo lost his shine in Garo: Yami wo Terasu Mono it was more focused on How he regained it and explaining some details in sequels is kinda cliche in japanese work mainly for Anime/Manga or novels and making second or third series about events that what leads to main shows era with possibly previous owners or somewhat related persons. This is a sucessful strategy in Japan too since it does not only sell new series well but boosts old series sales as well unlike to a usual sequel which usually gets harsher critics due to first serie.locuas wrote:and i say, if you need other shows to explain your plot points, you are doing a bad at writing them.

Yeah, the reason why Garo lost his shine wasn't important. It's a pointless criticism and should be taken off the table when talking about the show.

But like you said it definitely is not important when trying to judge or determine Yami's worth as a series.
Maybe it's just cause I like Garo's universe but I'd love to see that concept given a whole series or maybe a short 12 episode run or somethin.

I am absolutely loving the physical armour and that it's not all CG, it's also the main thing I liked about the Zero series as well.

Re: Garo Makai no Hana 01 released
With one episode, I already like this series more than all of Yami wo Terasu Mono. That's how bad that show left a taste in my mouth. Anyways, this episode was a throwback to the first episode of the original series from the dark setting, the creepy Horror, Raiga's training sequence and the butler Gonza (although he should show his age). Of course, we got an actual suit too which completes the show. The action was pretty cool too and the special effects on the Horror looked great. I'm excited where this show goes.
Re: Garo Makai no Hana 01 released
The Mcguffin of the show wasn't important? That is like saying that in first season, if Kaoru were pursued by horrors without the blood touching her (without explanation then), thar wouldn't be important, or in season 2, if were didn't know the reasons that moved Sigma, that wouldn't be important.takenoko wrote:Yeah, the reason why Garo lost his shine wasn't important.

The MacGuffin is not important if you compare it to the things that happened due to its existence, but it has to have sense.
Like Hitchcock said: "What's a MacGuffin?" "Well," the other man says, "it's an apparatus for trapping lions in the Scottish Highlands." The first man says, "But there are no lions in the Scottish Highlands," and the other one answers, "Well then, that's no MacGuffin!"

Re: Garo Makai no Hana 01 released
Like someone said earlier, the point of the show wasn't how Garo lost his shine. The explanation "it was lost in some battle" was good enough.
It's just like in Star Wars, what's important isn't how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader, but how his children became the redemption that solved the problems he created. The throwaway line "he was a good man who was seduced by the dark side" was good enough.

Re: Garo Makai no Hana 01 released
All I hope is that with the epicness that is Garo...the reason why the armor lost its shine and the event in which it was lost is as epic. Ryuga had to go through a lot to gain it back including the death of his mother therefore for his sake I would like the reason for loss of golden shine to be really worth it.

Re: Garo Makai no Hana 01 released
In that i disagree. no matter if you say "he wa a good man", if you are not able to show that, that is just bad writing. Darth Vader still retained a few of Anakin's good traits. the most obvious was how he never killed his men unless they had really screw up. and it was trough those traits that you could see there was a good man before Vadertakenoko wrote:

Re: Garo Makai no Hana 01 released
So Raiga is more of a happy guy that isn't cold to everyone, well that makes sense since i presume his father didn't died, still he isn't easy going, and get's angry when someone dies, good protagonist, check.
Monster design is pretty neat, more typical for toku, but that's good, you can't never have too much suit scting. But that finish that Garo make, i hope we won't see it again, didn't look good, and don't realyy fit this series.
