18th anniversary and social media countdown UPDATE: New Garo Series
This Saturday, October 7, will be the 18th anniversary of the premiere of Garo.
The official Instagram and Twitter accounts have started posting an image of the 99.9 second armor countdown, counting down 1 tick every hour. As of ~12:00 AM GMT, it is at 97.9, so it'll take just over 4 days to complete.
I'm trying not to get my hopes for a new series/movie, I just hope whatever they're counting down to is somewhat interesting.

Re: 18th anniversary and social media countdown
I tried twice to watch GARO and I just couldn't get into it. Maybe I should give it a 3rd go at some point.

Super Sentai: Fiveman onwards
Kamen Rider: Ichigou-Skyrider, all the Heisei/Reiwa series except the American shows.
Precure: DokiDoki-Go Pri
Metal Heroes: Gavan

Re: 18th anniversary and social media countdown
I think if you can get past the first season that'll open the doors for you. The cgi of the first season probably looks antiquated now, but it's pretty fun and well worth watching once you do it

Re: 18th anniversary and social media countdown
I'll agree with takenoko. The first season is a bit of a slow burn, with a lot of time spent establishing the world and its rules, and things happen that you don't understand the significance of immediately, but it definitely pays off if you're willing to stick with it. And from there, later installments (mostly) go full steam ahead, knowing that you're familiar with everything.
It is kinda unfortunate that, unlike Sentai/Rider or Doctor Who, there's not really a great alternate jumping-on point for the franchise, but I hope you'll find it worth giving another try. I really find the lore, the action, and the design of the shows to be amazing.

I'd use "Heir to the Steel" myself, fancier

Re: 18th anniversary and social media countdown
Oh trust me, bad effects don't bother me. My favourite era of Doctor Who is the 60s.
I honestly don't know why I didn't enjoy it. But my last attempt was 2015, so maybe it's time to try again.

It seems very basic early on, but the character arcs and stuff comes together in the end

Re: 18th anniversary and social media countdown UPDATE: New Garo Series
Miki Nanri tweeted a photo where she visited the set. Seems to confirm that Rian won't be in the new series, at least not in the main cast
