They'll probably mention it in the audio commentary for the next episode, if they actually change the order.

No, but actor Kase Taishuu (the doctor in episode 4) was arrested back in 2008 for using and obtaining stimulant drugs and marijuana. He is banned by the industry ever since then.
He was spotted working as a bartender somewhere in 2011.

It is, but it works, anon.

American celebrity culture is bad because it glorifies addicts and all kinds of scum. I'm not saying that the industry in Japan is perfect or anything (the idol industry is scary as fuck, for example) but punishing performers that fail at being an upstanding example to society should be a norm everywhere.
>>
>>14567500
That train of thought is literally what leads to the idol industry being as scary as it is, though.
Performers are people. Shit on them for being bad performers all you want, but until it cuts into their actual acting or musical ability then they're free to do whatever else the fuck they want IMO.
>>
>>14567537
They can do whatever the fuck they want, but being a bad example should have consequences.

For example, you're a singer who drugs himself and no one notices, that's good. Your drug habit goes out of hand and everyone sees you as the fucking wreck of human being you are? You should be punished for it.

The Idol industry is scary because it actually tries to control the lives of those girls. It's not "you can have a boyfriend/girlfriend just keep it silent" it is "Your contract forbids you to engage in any kind of sexual relationship."
>>
>>14567571
That should apply to anyone, though.
>>
>>14567571
>"Your contract forbids you to engage in any kind of sexual relationship."
dude idols have been dragged for having close male friends, the fact that they have to preserve the "im a pure virgin and YOU can have me" thing is scary as fuck and their job depends on it is bonkers.
>>
>>14567666
I know, it's horrible, and shouldn't been happening in a "first world" country. But Japan has a really weird stance on women's rights.

>>14567583
Well, yes. Bad examples should be punished. I still believe that the Idol business, with the "virginity" and "purity" bullshit, is disgusting and should be a crime.
>>
>>14568085
It's not really just a woman's thing. A couple female fans in Japan attempted suicide when Jackie Chan got married. And some Chinese pop stars of an older generation couldn't get married in order to not upset their fans.
>>
>>14569488
no yeah male Idols face pressure to always appears desirable to an extent but not to the same as Female Idols
like if a young pretty boy gets married yeah his career as a young pretty boy is over but then they can rebrand him as a mature lover type, or if you a gruff loner guy but you clean up suddenly your a heart throb.
its because theres always a "base" for Male Idols, young girls, mothers, older single women, and to a small extent gay fans and so on and so forth
Female Idols are marketed to TWO demographics young girls, and Otakus
and as any fan of Japanese media should know Otakus are fucking poison to the Japanese entertainment industry. Poison they fucking chug cause it sustains them as long as they keep drinking it.
if a Female idol is no longer "available", if shes in a relation ship, if she has sex, parties too hard, ect, shes no long "pure" and the man babies of japan drop her like a used tissue. and because little girls only care so far they can be replaced like almost nothing. and because the Idol industry is the big entrance into everything else its like a requirement.
its actually kind of astonishing that Garo can use JAV actresses, then again thats probably the olny people they can get to do villains and nudity with out taking their career.
i remember reading that Rinko Kikuchi was blacklisted by the Japanese industry because she subverted the Idol Process by starring in the american Babel and did a double bad by being nude.
there were apparently real fears that Pacific Rim would tank there cause she was in it
>>
>>14569944
whoops, uh, i guess im passionate about this subject
>>
>>14567571
But you are an actor, not a lightpost. You don't have to be a bad example, it is not your responsibility. If someone sees a drugaddict actor and follows his steps, it is, solely and entirely, his fault, not the actor's fault.

That mindset of blaming everyone and everything except the real guilty person is very dangerous, because we don't accept our mistakes and consequently don't evolve as persons. It's what carries people to blame literature, comics, videogames,. "Pokemon Go took my girl across the highway", "Brexit is not our fault" etc....

On the other hand, about the idol thing, I follow some idol bands and the practice is far from the general consensus about it. A lot of idols have been caught with boyfriends for the last 10 years and virtually nothing has happened to them.

Actually, the management of AKB48 mentioned that they know they are breaking the rules but don't say anything unless the magazines caught them and that there's nothing like "you can't have relationships" in the contract, so it is more like a social/fandom situation. If they don't care, nothing happens, if the idols thinks they will care, he/she probably carries some punishment to show that she "regrets" about what she did. Pure marketing.

Yeah, no. There has been criminal cases against idols who had relationships. The companies sue them because they had the gal of having a healthy sexual life. Recently there was cheers everywhere when a judge ruled against the company suing the girl.

About the example thing. Mate, if you're going to be on the spotlight you have to behave. I don't believe in forbidding things, but being a drug user should have negative consequences, period. I actually like that you become a pariah in Japan if you are ever caught. It's not about the performer being an example, it's about making them an example. "If you fuck up, you will be punished."
>>
>>14571224
That may be true (can you give names?), I don't know, but of all the idol groups I follow, not even one of them applies that rule seriously, and like I said, one of them is AKB, the most famous. So it is far from a problem of the whole idol business.

And no, if you're going to be on the spotlight you don't have to behave as society wants you to, that obligation comes out of nowhere.

"Being a drug user should have negative consequences".If the drug is dangerous, don't worry, the user will suffer the consequences without any moralist person, business or society punishing him, the drug itself applies the punishment.

If it isn't and it doesn't affect his job, then where's the problem? There's none whatsoever, and consequently the punishment is unnecesary unless the one who punishes wants to force his morals.

Saying "I don't believe in forbidding things but if you do what I don't like we will destroy your professional life to make an example" is a gigantic contradiction.
>>
You don't need to go for idol business.
Kimura Akane got arrested, and banned for life by the industry just because she messed around with one of her friend's old webpage template. That happened a year after the movie was released.

>>
>>14571545
It's not "what I don't like" it's something that is illegal on some places (and should be illegal everywhere).

I know some people don't like to hear this, but drug use is not "harmless and only affects me, the user" The fucking war on it had my country almost destroyed on the late 1980's early 1990's. So, I'm not sorry to consider every single one of them scum that should be punished.

About the idol thing, the names of the Idol and company involved in the lawsuit weren't revealed. They did say that the girl was now a 23 years old woman.

Is Crimson Moon so bad it makes YamiTera look good? YamiTera was okay, I did like the attempt of Garo trying to drop it's episodic formula and aim for a more overarching storyline. But the characters were pretty one dimensional and Ryuga was a cunt until he got blind. Plus the action scenes were not as good as Red Requiem's or Makai Senki. Also how the hell did Garo get blackened?
>>
>>14585767
I thought Ryuga was moe-tier. One of the very few enjoyable characters of the show. Would feed him a kebab/10 Goldstorm Ryuga can fuck off though
>Plus the action scenes were not as good as Red Requiem's
Most of Red Requiem's fight scenes were boring as fuck. Almost the entire movie was bland from what I remember.
>Also how the hell did Garo get blackened?
It was used up by its previous user from a battle, then the armour was dormant until its next user. How exactly that works I'm not sure.
I don't feel like they explained this plot point enough.
>>
>Also how the hell did Garo get blackened?

Color of the armor are determined by the spirit of the owner. They are black in basic color since they are made with horror parts in hot magma.
>>
>>14585767
>Is Crimson Moon so bad it makes YamiTera look good?

No. But a lot reason of why YamiTera was constantly shit on was because it was the worst. Crimson Moon is now going to get a lot of that.

What I get from this is that the previous Garo was fighting an enemy so powerful that just using the power of feelings to power himself up wasn't enough to defeat it, so he had to directly throw all the feelings stored in the armor to the enemy in order to win. Like a bomb or something.

>>
>>14590048
How did it get lost? If I recall correctly, something Kintoki said made it sound like it had a history of being passed on like the other armors.
>>
>>14589921
Tokiwaka was as Giga as Hakamadare was Dan.
>>
>>14590058
Well, there's something mysterious about that. Leaving the armor's origin out, it's also weird how it could be actually passed on. The owner of the armor not only gets younger and loses his memories every time he summons it, he can't age. If Tokiwaka received the armor from his master, it would mean that his master reached a certain age, got the armor, and then just used it a couple of times before passing it down. In order to keep passing on the armor for various generations, it would require that the owner trains his apprentice until the latter is considerably older than him. Tokiwaka implied that if he became a kid, he wouldn't be able to summon his armor anymore. As Kintoki, he apparently isn't even aware that he has an armor. So he shouldn't be able to pass it on to anyone. I'd say it's possible that someone could pick it up once Kintoki dies.
>>
>>14589737
>In all honesty, I would've rather had another GARO anime that would've been a sequel to the first one instead of what we got.

I don't think there's a single person who disagrees with that.
>>
>>14590297
Would it be necessary for Kintoki to actually hand it over or die for somebody else to use it? Alfonso temporarily got Garo without Leon giving it to him, although Leon was aware of it.
>>
>>14591864
As far as I know, it is not the wielder but the armor who decides who is going to wear it.
>>
>>14589908
Does Leon get the Emma?
>>
>>14592267
even Garo needs approval from the current user's approval to pass down the line. Also the reason why so many broken linkage in Yamitera/GOLDSTORM era.
>>
>>14590297

Whose bright idea was it to create an armor that would leave a titled Knight (apparently always in short supply regardless of time period) totally useless after only a couple of battles?
>>
>>14592392
When Alfonso received the armour, Leon certainly didn't approve it. And we have had a couple of situations in which the wielder is not around to decide (Taiga to Kouga, Douji to Rei, Raikou).

Yes, if the armour accepts the wielder, he has to pass down the line like Kouga did with Raiga, but it is the armour who has the last word on it.
>>
>>14592392
>so many broken linkage in Yamitera/GOLDSTORM era
Seriously? Literally, the only broken linkage we knew was Garo before Ryuga got the armor. How can people make things up like that and sound like they actually believe it?
>>
>>14592785
Didn't they show a parchment with lots of "lineages" broken in GoldStorm?
>>
>>14593044
Well, you're actually right, although it isn't implied as a problem associated to the that era only, or any particular reason for that. I don't know what the obscured ends of the chains mean, it could mean dead without children or possessed by a Horror, who knows. What's more important is that I just noticed that they actually show part of the Jakuzure family: Jakuzure Kakeru -> Jakuzure Takeru -> ???. Right, there's actually a link following Takeru!!
>>
>>14593188
Regarding the spoiler, I don't know what to think now. The following take shows Jakuzure Takeru followed by Jakuzure Noboru, but the chain keeps going even further.
>>
>>14593188
>>14593239

I'm more amazed that you can actually read that shit. Do you have the "alphabet"?
>>
>>14593188
>>14593239
Allright, this shot shows that unless a chain is broken for real, it will keep on going until reaching the last white part. The link that goes from Noboru must simply lead to that part. So it's safe to assume that Takeru really has a son named Noboru.

Speaking of lineages, how do you suppose the line of Golden Knights goes? I imagine it went from Gouki and his kin to the Minamoto clan, then Leon's bloodline, then the Saejima, then no more Garos until Ryuga.

When HnK was announced, I thought it was very clever to put the origins of the armour in Europe, considering its medieval design.

Then GnK came and we knew that the armour was in Japan, then it went to Europe then it came back to Japan again, Bit weird.

>>14594253
At this point I'm just assuming the armour's sentient and just gets where it's needed most at the exact right time somehow.

I think it’s one of the better series to be honest, but nothing’s changed since episode thirty-five that would alter your opinion. It’s main problem since the introduction of Alain has been that the plot plays out rather predictably.

A plot that actually takes up twenty-six episodes. Of course that's going to be different. Probably a lot more like orthodox 'Garo' than the weird sort of high concept shit we got with 'Black Blood' -- which I loved, but which is just inviting contrivance if stretched into a half-year series.

The story that is told in Hagane no houkou has a lot of potential, so who knows if it's gonna be told in the future.

I am so excited to have these.

Wish they'd make a new Kiba so I wouldn't have to pay a lot for the old one.
>>
>>14639901
If you don't care about the figures being from the exact same line, you could just go with Equip & Prop Kiba, which is pretty cheap at Mandarake. I own Makai Kado Kiba and I think it's the one with the worst articulation anyway, so you'd be getting practically the same figure and Barago's pendant, plus Barago's head and limbs hanging around. I actually am planning to buy E&P Kiba in the future too since one of my MK's hands broke while I was trying to put Kiba's Zanbaken on it. Seriously, that was the worst design consideration in the line. The handle is so thick and you have to force it through the fingers. I should have modified it to be detachable like it is in newer releases.

>>14651403
Except that he used a stunt actor for scenes that wouldn't normally need one. I mean, he did more risky/difficult stuff in Makai no hana.

It probably was because of the lack of time, so he couldn't prepare the choreography.

I know about the subs but HEVC releases are still better than any Funi encodes though.

I know that Funi looks like shit (on mpc hc you can somewhat fix that) but my hate towards HEVC is stronger than my dislike of Funi's shitty video. If the subs were better I would consider an alternative, bur "better" video is not really a good reason for me anymore.

If you know your shit, you can get that "level" of fixing with your own player. MPC HC and mpv can deband on their own.

>>14668044
I have it though, for madVR:
if (fileName = "*HorribleSubs*") "Heavy debanding"
else if (srcBits == 8) "Medium debanding"
else "Low debanding"

There's also the RGB range to change in the video filter with MPC, but I didn't try to compare with a HEVC encode since I never download Horriblesubs Funi to begin with.
Maybe I'll end up with the same results, but the placebo effect in my head tells me to download HEVC of HS instead of HS Funi.

Well, that screenshot comparison up there doesn't really shows anything I would consider worthy of downloading HEVC reencodes. But to each their own, I guess.

The only memorable things about GnT were Garo Jin and Zanga's armor designs and the soundtrack. Everything else just feels so... slapped together.

>>
>>14676028
Considering that the "main" writers did surprisingly few scripts, that sounds quite likely.
>>
>>14676028
And the most amazing thing is that they had the opportunity to give some closure to the show at the extra episode that came with the home release, but they did a Kintoki episode instead.
>>
>>14676486
And that was the best episode in the series too. GnT was a mess.
>>
>>14676646
Surely it was only the best because it was so disconnected from the other problems.
>>
>>14673436

Why -is- Garo merch on the whole always so horrifyingly expensive?
>>
>>14677142
Probably because there isn't much of it in general, and a big number of characters only have a single P-Bandai exclusive. Compared to say, Kamen Rider where you can generally expect a kid-oriented gimmicky figure, super articulated Figuarts and stylized S.I.C and some number of alternate forms in all those formats.
>>
>>14677142
>>14677246
Basically, GARO is nowhere near as big as other tokusatsu franchises, which leads to its market being smaller, so for Bandai, the best way of producing the figures is by reserved preorders through their Tamashii Web Shop. This in turn leads to the prices skyrocketing afterwards.
>>
Now that you're talking about merchan, I have a question for tokuwise people.

I've always heard that powers ups in in most market oriented tokusatsu (supersentai, Kamen Rider...) was done to have more designs to make toys. They even joke about that in Akibaranger.

But in Garo we also have a lot of power ups, yet most of them don't even have a figure. So why would they do them? Has it become a staple in the genre?

I like my power ups as much as the next guy, but it is getting old sometimes for how deus ex machina they are, and it looks like they don't even have a commercial reason for them.

I think the second thing answers the first. But maybe that's just me.

They make for a cool end of series/movie battle scene, there isn't much more to it than that. I do like it when they try to make them related to the story, like Tsubasabito and pic related

I like it too, but I think it is being overused. I would like them to beat the rival with strategy, inventity or something like that. Makai Senki for example had a great ending in that sense.

Produced for a limited market, Garo has a pretty decent size fanbase but it's not MASSIVE like Sentai and Rider

It's kind of unfortunate that the actual figure's eyes are hardly visible.

It's not that they're hardly visible. It's that for some reason they choose to leave them black.
>>

Maybe they are going to turn the eyes black in Dragon Blood.

Being colored like that makes it hard to tell where the shadow ends and the eyeballs start.
