What I love about the anime is the fact that normally Alfonso should've been Garo but Leon grows so much as a character that in the end when he gets the armor back it's like
>Oh yeah.. this is how things should be

>>14308037
I think he starts losing hair

They've really updated Rei's whole look

>>14308222
Didn't mean to quote

>>14308207

And he is Garo for a while and he's damn good at it. At the same time though, you're thinking "no, this isn't right," even though at the time Leon is happy being a humble farmer and Al is more worthy of Garo than Leon ever was at that point.

It's a weird feeling.

Was Raiga in the Biku movie?

>>14308550
Nice. Ryuga showed up before and now Raiga, what are the chances of a Kouga cameo happening at the end?

>>14308578
Not as far as I know

>>14308586
Small. I imagine the chances of a Rei episode to be very high, though.

>>14308594
It would be kinda weird to give Rei an episode when he is about to get a whole series to himself

>>14309707
We still got 4 episodes left, I'm sure he'll be in one

>>14309715
Is it really gonna be only 13? I don't think we have a solid source for that, and it's weird that, at a month of finishing it, we don't know what will take that time slot.

>>14309728
As far as I know, ZERO: Dragon Blood will start once Retsuden finishes

>>14309750
I think it's pretty weird that we will have Dragon Blood in a month considering that they've just finished filming and we don't have a single trailer.

Yes, they did the same with Retsuden, but because it was the point, keeping it secret. And even with Retsuden, we knew it was gonna start on April since November 2015.

Episode 10 of Retsuden was filmed a week before Christmas 2015.
Actually many of the episodes were filmed way back in time.

>>14309905
Not surprising

>>14309905
Garo filming schedules are weird.

I’m eight episodes into ‘Makai no Hana’ and so far it seems like plenty has happened in terms of plot. I don’t really understand why people complain about the show having no story advancement, at least not relative to the Kōga series. Does it hit a furious lull in the middle or what?

>>14309896
>I think it's pretty weird that we will have Dragon Blood in a month considering that they've just finished filming and we don't have a single trailer.

You don’t follow the news for much Nip television, do you.

>>14314361
The lack of plot is kinda exaggerated, its less that there isn't any plot so much as most of the story advancement isn't really related to Eiris. I'd say the main story advancements are the character development for Raiga, Mayuri and Crow

>>14314483
Unless something has changed since MnH and I'm just forgetting things
Raiga is not as babyfaced as I remember him being whereas Crow was way more babyfaced than I remember him being

File: Raiga vs Stalker Horror.webm (3MB, 640x380px) Image search: [Google]

3MB, 640x380px

Odd to see Raiga fighting a CG Horror, Hana was really heavy on the practical effects

>>14314390
Problem is: Raiga doesn't develop that much because he was already a nice guy, unlike Kouga, Mayuri is boring, and Crow's development happens off-screen (and he doesn't matter anyway). The plot of season 1 wasn't anything spectacular, but Kouga and Rei changed a lot so it balanced out.

>>14314537
I agree, although I like Mayuri. Raiga is a much more static character compared to Kouga, so while you learn a lot more about him and what drives him, he doesn't really change and develop as much as Kouga or even Ryuga did

>>14314532
Nice, they actually used the grappling hook thing that Raiga has

>>14314361
The generally fantastic quality of the episodic stories far outshadows the rather simplistic over-arching story. I'm pretty sure that the majority of the my personal favorite self-contained Garo episodes are from MnH specifically even.

Whats the next episode of Retsuden called?

>>14314361

>You don’t follow the news for much Nip television, do you.

I do follow japanese television news, but I don't think I am following you. Is there anything wrong in that statement? Do we have a trailer that I missed?

If Zero starts on July, it would be the first time that a Garo related show starts with so little beforehand.

Makai senki, Yami, Makai no hana, Honoo no kokuin, Gold Storm... All of them with trailers and release date published months before the actual premiere. The only exception is Retsuden because that was the point, keeping it secret, and nevertheless, like I said, we did know that it was going to premiere after GnK since November 2015.

>>14315050
I'm not sure but I think YamiTera's trailer was first shown at most like a month before it started aiting. Soukoku no Maryu premiered on February 23 2013, and it would be "unappropiate" to announce the new series before the movie's premiere or right after it.

Nice to see the classic garo armor back but it will blackend in the future.

>>14316206
So you're telling me that Garo was BLACKED?

>>14315574
>>14315574
Ywtm trailer was released exactly two days after Soukoku premiere, the 25th of February. And we had cast, plot elements, and official website before.

>>14316248
I remember the series was announced together with the trailer.

>>14316248
>>14316430
Just rechecked my memories and remember they announced it long before.

>>14314361
What actually happens as far as plot goes in the first eight episodes? I can't even remember which Horrors were from the rock since the biggest difference was whether Mayuri said it was.

>>14318730
yeah if only in concept
did TOWSID have a small budget or something? could they not afford suits?

>>14320383
I've heard that Yami, Soukoku no maryu and Tougen no Fue were produced at the same time, and the two latter (Soukoku in particular) received most of the budget because of Amemiya's involvement, but I have not seen a valid source that confirms that, only rumours.

Is Yukihime slurring her lines Blade style or just speaking gibberish?

>>14321058
Yes

>>14320685
Is that one of the pachinko/novel armors?

>>14321103
I think its meant to be ZEN, but it kinda looks like YAIBA from the pachinko

>>14321142
If it's supposed to be Zen, the artist missed any of its distinguishing features.

>>14321142
It's clearly Yaiba. It even says Shakunetsu Kishi right there.

>>14320452
Yami was filmed a year in advance to prepare for the heavy CGI use.

>>14321282
Do you mean a year before Soukoku or a year before its premiere? Because if it is the latter, maybe the filming of Yami and Soukoku did take place at the same time.

>>14321238
Oh, my mistake then

She is Judam's actress who is a veteran in her job. That's what I know.

>>14325287
You mean the significance behind that? As I understood it, the inhabitants of the promised land are forgotten things, abandoned by the people. And that's the key, "things", not necessarily physical things. So the real Judam was probably an artist that, as many, was forgotten, and that's why she is in the promised land. The real artist could be even alive, but the concept of her as an artist is what was abandoned.

That's why she is the only one whose identity (meaning the training tool, the book, etc...) was not explained.

Out of this entire dub cast the only one I like is German's voice, he is the only putting in any actual effort from the sounds of things.

He was a bit of a shit early on, man. The scene with him and Kaoru is the biggest example of this.

I'll admit that I didn't care much for her at first. Grew on me over time though, and I agree with >>14329775 that she really comes into her own later on.

That wasn't exactly their retirement considering we only saw it as part of someone else's flashback.

Makai Jesus can't live on without the goal of saving mommy and daddy from the dump.

Seriously female audience is the majority group in this franchise, and it is critical to include as much maternal love-stimulus as possible to keep the fans hanging around.

Good opportunity to expand the world a little bit more with short clips showing what's going on out there.
From one of the earlier books we know the majority of Horror sightings are in Japan, resulting the Order has their people and resources all set in that country.
We also know horrors rarely show up outside of japan, and there are only a handful of knights and priests working in other countries.
There is information of different organizations out there which has no connection with the Order, dealing with Horror problems in the own ways.
It's certainly some things for the staff to go back and look into when they fed up with knights and priests stories.

>>14331413

Vol City was implied to be a city more technologically advanced than the rest of the world. Most of the futuristic aspects we see in YamiTera are only like that in Vol City, while the whole world hasn't changed a lot in general.

>>14333019
>>14332925
Yamitera looks rushed and poorly thought because it was rushed and poorly thought. Literally no one knew what the hell they were doing, even now Amemiya isn't sure of how Yamitera is connected to the regular Garoverse. He always give vague answers on the interviews

>>14333087
But what's there to be sure about? It happens in the future. We don't know when because that's the idea, that it's simply the future. By vague answers you probably mean when someone asks about how to connect it with Saejima era. It's obvious that there's no answer to that. There's no need for it to exist right now. People who try desperately to tie in everything are just autists. Even the futuristic "issue" is perfectly explained by >>14333078 whose inferences are made based on the information exposed in the show.

A lot of stuff about this episode bothered me. It was nice seeing Giga not job for once, though.

>>14333201
I really like when a franchise knows when to stop taking itself too seriously in order to give us some good laughs. Even then, Haruna had Valid Reasons™ to stop living as a priestess, and your last complaint, which is the most valid one, answer your third one. Besides, it goes with Daigo's character to personally want to play teacher while looking for the Horror. Also, even though it's the "rule" that Knights and Priestss must keep the public from knowing about Horrors, there's been quite a few instances of they breaking this and other similar rules.

What's funny is that Ryuga managed to sneak in to a school just fine during YamiTera, even though it was when the police were trying to arrest him.

>>14333328

At the beginning of Gold Storm movie we see a futuristic building with rooms constantly moving like an alive cube or something, like remembering you that this is the future.

Then it stops being the future.

>>14333398
You must be mixing things up. There certainly is a building with a curious cubical structure, but the thing is completely still, it doesn't move.

Guys, Ray Fujita is gonna be 28 this year. He's officially going to be "old" by Japanese standards. You think they're gonna retire him soon like they did Konishi?

>>14333462
You're almost making it sound like they're going to Old Yeller him.

>>14333432
Even if the building was a moving one. That wouldn't mean anything. Even in the current era and within a single country, you can find places that look easily 10 or more years more advanced than others. It's even more drastic when you compare some places from different countries. Knowing this, I don't know why people would expect every place to look like "the future" in Ryuga's era.

>>14333432
I looked at the movie and you are right, it doesn't move. I must be mixing things up. Probably Garo and drugs.

I assume the girl became a horror after what the dude did to her off screen previous to this episode, yet Makai knights and priests have to protect this kind of scum?

As dumb as Amazon Alpha protecting that murderer from Amazon Omega in Amazonz just because he's human.

>>14336941
Well, it's not like she would stop politely after killing the dude, Horrors are predators and want to eat.

>>14336941
Except at no point was it implied that the dude dated her, and the worst he did was slap her when it seemed she had been stalking all over the place. The guy was a douche, but he didn't do anything worth letting him die for

>>14336926
But he was talking to Gonza.

>>14336945
I know, but I understood she only became a horror after what the dude did to her (dating her and then dumping her, in the episode we saw her after this trying to come back with the dude) or maybe I'm understanding it wrong, I only watched the RAW.

I want one to lust after my dick, then for Jesus to show up. That would be a top afternoon for me.

It was never said he dated her, only that he was nice to her. The fault is all on the girl for having issues.
And yes, humans may be trash at times, but Makai Knights and Priests still defend them, because they're human. It's up to regular people to do something about them. It's like you haven't watched Garo and just want to get mad at something.

Does the lower left picture say "MAKAI NO HANA"?

>>14337393
Yes.

>>14336259
Maybe they're doing this instead of the classical half-of-season recap? Because a recap wouldn't have much sense in Retsuden.

Camus was born in New York and spent the first ten years of his life there, moved to Japan, moved back to New York for college, dropped out, moved back to Japan, and became a TV personality.

So... maybe?

It took a wrestler to become a Makai Knight so we could finally get a big sword.

>Anyway, Retsuden will probably be already over by that week. It would have aired all of its rumored 12 episodes.

Isn’t that rumour just because some stupid Flips misconstrued the Zero figure release as marking the beginning of the series (>>14336068)?

>>14336887
>Isn't it more like Not-Portugal?

Wasn’t really a difference in that time period mate, they were all just a collection of kingdoms on the Iberian Peninsula.

And they still are huehue.
