So I have watched up to episode 16 or so, so far in Garo, I had planned to put this into part 2 of my 'Thoughts On Ongoing Fall Anime part 2' but I just haven't gotten around to completing that post, so decided to just post my thoughts on Garo so far separately!
I must apologize for the format of my blog posts, I know they're quite incoherent and though I try to edit them into a more understandable format, I'm just terribly awful at it, again sorry v.v
Garo: The Animation (16) - With knights, witches, magic and horror! Starts off with introducing us to the main characters in the show and some action scenes. Pretty good first episode if I remember right, paced well. Although I have heard people talk about how they don't like the armour design, I quite like it, I suppose it is over the top and a bit jarring to see the 3D armour in the show but I still think it looks quite cool haha! I also like the artstyle in this anime, it's a bit simpler but I like the angles of the lines, jagged or sharp, I don't know something about it makes it feel a bit 'edge-y'....sorry, it fits well with the dark tone of the show. One thing I am in love with, is the OST, love love love the music for this anime, it kinda reminds me of Nier's OST as well, definitely my favourite part of this anime!
Onto the characters, I like the juxtaposition in personality between the father and his son, his son wanting to have nothing to do with his father's pursuits to find the next woman he'll sleep with, and his actions are too cute when the topic of being with a woman comes up! Ema's pretty cool, loves to tease Leon, I'd like to see her more in the show honestly. There's alot of brooding from Leon, he tends to lose control of his power when his emotions go a bit haywire, resulting in a berserk-like mode, not being able to tell friend from foe.
As it is now, where I am at in the show, Leon is lost and I'm guessing, trying to find himself, now that he no longer has his armour. I quite like where Leon has ended up, just in small house in the country, working with the family there, the show has a nice mix of action and comedy in this dark atmospheric anime.....honestly not sure what else to say, so I'm just going to end it here.
