Mar 29, 2015 Link_of_Hyrule Recommended **SPOILER FREE REVIEW** If you were one of the people who dropped Garo back in 2014 because the plot seemed a little too aimless, this is a PSA: Y’done goofed. What started off as a slightly clumsy and generally directionless action romp with only a mature tone to differentiate it eventually came into its own and emerged as a visually stunning, well written, memorable action-drama complete with strong characters and an emotionally investing plot. Garo was arguably the best anime that aired this season and it deserves far more attention than it is getting. Synopsis: In a world full of bloodthirsty creatures known as horrors that terrorize ...

Apr 4, 2015 Agil-san Recommended I will refrain from spoilers in this review Garo, has turned into one of my favorite anime at the moment. The story follows a young Makai Knight named Leon, and his father German who is also a Makai Knight. Makai Knights have a job to play and that is to kill the "Horrors", which are people who have been possessed by dark spirits, that threaten the every day lives of humans. Leon, the Main Character of the series, is a Makai Knight who still hasn't fully matured. He is learning what it means to truly be a Makai knight, with his father as his teacher. At ...

Mar 29, 2015 chesudesu Recommended If you're talking about the season's most under-appreciated, you're sure to have mentioned Garo somewhere in your conversation. No one expected an anime series that could hold itself together, much less walk on its own legs. The series does not aspire to be more than what it is nor does it condemn itself to its own confines. That is exactly what Garo does - and it does so beautifully. Essentially, Garo is a story about good versus evil. There is nothing special nor wholly new about it, but that is where the show keeps it tight. The series takes us to a fantastical but horrific world ... Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 30, 2015 Flawfinder Recommended You know there's a sort of irony to the fact that my favorite anime of the past two seasons happens to be the one that nobody likes all that much. Actually, scratch that, they didn't pay attention to it at all when it aired, which I find kind of weird. I know Rage of Bahamut looked prettier and had the more bombastic start guys, but that doesn't mean you should just flat-out ignore Mappa's other fantasy show because it had sex, theatrical drama, and CG fights that look too busy at times but were otherwise well-choreographed and...no seriously, why did people ignore this show? Are ... Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 26, 2015 Hime-In-A-Box Recommended Garo: Honoo no Kokuin is one of the most perfect medieval fantasy anime I have ever seen. I'm not going to give you a description of the series because the synopsis should be enough. The story in itself isn't too hard to follow and there isn't too much to it, but the execution of that story is what counts. Story: 10 Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 9, 2015 Stark700 Recommended There’s a lot of words to describe Garo. For starters, “impact” is one of them. That’s because the first episode makes a big impact when we see the brutality of the show along with the mature setting and its characters. Taken for granted, Garo is one of those shows where you must be prepared for what’s to come. The first few episodes sets up everything well in the fantasy world of Valiante Kingdom. The catch is how the show develops from there the main character Leon is born. If magic and fantasy isn’t part of your vocabulary, then you won’t last long. Based off the Garo ...

Apr 3, 2015 BanjoTheBear Recommended (This has been adapted from my reddit thread. Spoilers ahead!) When you think about what you want most in life -- be it a nice job, a wonderful family, or simply that shiny new smart phone -- it's often not an easy task to acquire whatever it is. Normally, it requires sacrifice, the loss of something to gain something else. This isn't sacrificial in the sense of people; it may be giving up going to a party in order to focus on work to get that job or choosing to reduce food spending to save up for that next piece of technology. Sometimes, what we sacrifice ... Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 9, 2015 Dietrologia Recommended Garo is a tokusatsu franchise that has a unique place in the genre as the odd one out. While most toku are kid-focused and merchandise-driven, Garo is aimed towards adults and as such tends to have much “edgier” content, namely its horror themes, nudity, and violence.

Jul 13, 2015 partali Recommended Garo is pretty great anime if you are into action, demons and fantasy in general. I discovered it by accident and even though I was kinda bored when I started watching, I quickly became enthralled by the series. Story: 7 The story started off pretty good giving us a good background of our main characters and allowing us the necessary time to identify with their plight and suffering but it was all too soon that ups and downs became apparent. Thank god the ups outnumbered the downs by a lot but still some of the randomness introduced to this series left a bitter taste. Furthermore the relationships forged ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 15, 2015 CalamityGami Recommended I will keep this short and simple. This show doesn't really kick it off until after 12 episodes thats the reason why I gave it a 9. The main character is kind of annoying in the beginning but gets better after he "settles down". The first 12 episodes are just leon screwing up and some character development but could of been shortened down some. The battle scenes are a little bit typical but some of them are pretty cool looking. Others just suck. Read more Open Gift Report
Aug 7, 2015 mato1004 Recommended This was a rare find. I really enjoyed this anime. I guess the thing that I disliked the most was the art style. I don't enjoy this type of art and I would usually not watch it, but the story was compelling and after giving a few episodes a try I was hooked. There is nothing revolutionary about it, but it is very enjoyable. If you like action/adventure you should give it a try. I feel that Garo has a lot of soul and they tried to make their characters more realistic (non black or white and more grey). Read more Open Gift Report
Aug 1, 2015 animegirlism Recommended I don't know how familiar you are with the history of medieval Europe, but the happenings in this anime probably don't reflect the whole truth about witch hunt, curses, demons etc. Still you can't deny that this anime has one of the best stories I've ever seen. May I represent a rather new anime that finished airing in 2015, Garo: Honoo no Kokuin. Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 11, 2016 AnthraxHierarchy Recommended (no spoilers) Overall this is a great anime and I would love to give it a 10/10, but I had to give it 9/10 for one reason. The fights we're all very short and didn't feel as epic as they should've been. I feel like what happened was they had too much story to fit only into 24 episodes so they wound up not being able to spend too much time on certain things such as fighting scenes. None the less, I recommend this anime if you're like myself and love dark medieval-fantasy themed anime. -also I do have to point out I did very much ... Read more Open Gift Report
Sep 20, 2015 Azbest Recommended Ok, so my question for all those people who are not sure yet, if to watch it or not, WHY ARE YOU NOT WATCHING IT ALREADY? The first thing that caught my attention was art - one could say it's very simple, but that's not really it. It's different from what I mostly watch and it's still hard for me to say if it's ugly or pretty. I surely enjoyed looking at it, though. It have something in in that catches attention, it's unique (but in the beginning I was also very skeptical when it came to armor - later I got used to it). The second ... Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 8, 2017 kurosmile Recommended Anyone who watches mask rider/kamen rider and loves them till now, I think this anime will definitely be good for you. I jump into this anime blind. I wasn't expecting it to blew me away (though not completely). Plot: 7.5 Characters: 7 Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 19, 2017 DScribe492 Recommended At first glance, the concept of this show sounds very generic. There are demons that possess people through their temptations and there are those who hunt these demons before they hurt folk. Surely we have seen this setup before, right? Well yea, you have (unless this your first anime at which point ignore up until the actual review). Trust me when I say that they make itself unique enough to not actually go down as generic. So let's rock. Story: 8 Read more Open Gift Report
Aug 30, 2020 F9s Recommended Can we talk about perhaps the most under-appreciated anime of this past decade? This show frequently gets swept off the rug by Rage of Bahamut and other similar shows, yet in my opinion, they have nothing against this masterpiece of a anime series. As a lover of dark-fantasy, this show immediately went to my list. Lovecraftian Horrors? Sex? Gore? Metallic Knights? COOL POSES?! SIGN ME THE HELL UP! Story: The story starts out fairly simple but already hooks you from the beginning with its vivid imagery. In a world where horrors terrorize humanity, only the Makai knights stand in the way of total destruction. But alas, not ... Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 10, 2021 _ecchiman_ Recommended I usually don't write reviews about anime that are like this (i.e. old, and not seasonal), but I felt like I had to make an exception here due to my ambivalent feelings about this anime. My basic thoughts on this anime are: a little good art never killed nobody. STORY: 7 Read more Open Gift Report |
