Garo Makai no Hana 20 released

Post by takenoko »

Pretty good episode. Although, they really need to retire the:

"There's no way you can save that person's life!"
"No way! I can do it! Because I'm fucking Garo!"

It's pretty tiresome when you're only able to make the main character cool/reasonable by making everyone else less than a person.

Also, poor Crow. He gets showed up by Raiga even in his episode. Raiga might as well thank him for his excellent job at standing in the background.

There were a couple moments where I went "What?!" First, when his armor flew off and revealed he was holding Saki in his arms. The second when I realized she was wearing some cloth that wasn't her uniform nor a part of Garo's costume. Where did it come from?!

I don't remember Kouga saving Kaoru by having her in his armor before. Did that happen in a previous episode?

Good commercials this week.

First thoughts when seeing the big statue thing, "that looks like iron man crossed with bujin-sama"

Crow does seem to be getting shafted quite a bit in this, not quite sure why he is even around, other than to make Garo look good.

I agreed with what Azazel it felt like an Crow focused episode and then it turned out to be about Garo. At least Makai Senki did a better job of focusing on the secondary character, Rei.

Well Crow is a Phantom Knight. Being in the background is his thing after all. If he's not in the background, he's not doing his job very well.

It was on the Makai Senki 24, before Kouga left to go to the Promised Land. when they were falling after his fight against Sigma. I liked this nod to that.

Are you sure they're inside Garo? It doesn't look like they're inside the armor. But I'm sure of what Raiga said.

We even got to see how it was in the armor : some kind of golden sky. I watched it months ago now so I can be mistaken.

No, his bad, he was actually saying the opposite lol.

Loved the special effects on the giant, no CG. I wonder how many people were inside moving that thing.

Yes. That Iron Man sure has no CG imagery.

Oh! Seriously... it's a good episode even if Crow's secretly on a mission to hunt down Horrors.

Is crow good for anything except getting hurt and being knocked out of a fight? Well he did pretty good doing Gouten's job. Why did Raiga even get Gouten anyways?

The priestess in previous ep said weak knights get hurt a lot. I don't care if crow is weak but do SOMETHING instead of appearing in episodes for god knows what reason.

That aside I loved the giant. That must have been very hard for the people/person working it.

And Garo kicks but-again. I have no idea why Garo winning so easily is getting on my nerves.

One thing I liked about this was how Crow said the Horror was his prey, but did appreciate the help.

But for a Crow focus episode, he didn't do anything cool. He didn't even transform.

Is it bad that I had more fun from the panda commercial than the actual episode itself?
