This week it turns out that 'Serpent Bone Knight Giru' isn't the most gallant and altruistic of knights, Raiga's watch dog is NOT being creepy, someone remembers that soul metal is meant to be astoundingly heavy, and Biku is desperate to meet up with one of the cast members of Kamen Rider Drive.

Ladies and gentlemen, after numerous delays it appears that the plot has finally arrived! Eiris, excitement and plenty of action.

This week a robot lurks in the woods, Mayuri goes looking for the MotW by herself, Crow spends half the episode getting his ass kicked by a school girl, and Zaruba gets to attend afternoon tea.

Raiga fights one of the more 'comedic' Horrors, a soul gets turned into musical cotton candy, an orchestra gets squashed into the womens bathroom, and Mayuri appreciates the work of Claude Debussy.

A toku veteran joins the fray! But because the toku they were in aren't particularly celebrated, they get a literal breastplate to wear, complete with 'Batman and Robin' style moulded-in nipple. Because Garo is dignified like that. This week, the kind of threat that served as the secondary...

Technically this is just another TIME FOR BACKSTORY flashback episode, but there's a pretty awesome guest appearance that makes it all just gravy :thumbs:

No Gonza, this week you're referencing the 'Living Dead' films again, not that famous painting. This week another actress from Gouraigan pops up, Raiga and Crow use a smoke bomb that is apparently capable of turning day to night, and Mayuri throws a blanket over her head to pretend to be a ghost.

IT'S A CLIP SHOW! But about two thirds of the way in there's more info about what happened to Kouga and Kaoru and a shaky-cam Horror fight. No? Fine, whatever. :disappoin See you next week.

Spoiler: episode does not actually feature Takeshi Hongo. Just another Shougeki Gouraigan alumni and a boat called "Daffy Duck III". :eyebrow: This week, TIME FOR BACKSTORY! The show takes the phrase "battling your inner demons" very literally, Priest Shido finally shows up, and we get a...

This week, Crow confirms that he is a shadow warrior, dooming us to the Garo/ToQger crossover special nobody wanted. In the meantime we find out where all the money that they'd saved in last week's costcutting episode went to, and JAM Project deliver their contractually obliged OP theme in the...

A young girl finds a tribble and takes it home. Mayuri and Crow turn up to remind you that they still exist. Raiga gets the girl to drink some "medicine" and they show some clichéd visual indicators for when someone is tripping balls. Raiga takes her to give the tribble back to it's mother...

This week Raiga battles tanks, attack choppers and something that for copyright reasons is absolutely not a Sailor Scout. Don't blink at any point, or you might miss Crow's cameo appearance (is he actually in this series?). Oh, and the end credits scene switches from the usual comedy skit to...

The episode is called "rearing" and the first thing you see is a woman's naked ass. Yeah, the show made that joke before you could. :loltongue: This week: a creepy bug otaku, a cocoon with boobs, and a silly comedy skit during the end credits. Enjoy.

Raiga faces his greatest threat ever: little children and their grandpa! Oh, and Gouten destroys a house. :sweat:

This time around we get our first hint as to the fate of Kouga and Kaoru, Raiga's grandfather makes a (in-suit) cameo, and a Horror seeks to end the Garo lineage.

This week the Horror spawns some familiars that know how to pull a good "J Horror Ghost" face, Gonza goes rummaging through the old prop drawers, and Mayuri clip-clops around in some geta.

Fear him! Episode Five, in which Crow transforms for the first time (his helmet has crazy eyes!) and actor Thane Camus turns out not to be reprising his role as 'Ring' from Black Blood, but compensates by getting the majority of the episode to himself and showing us his disco moves.

"Hello Raiga. Got a basic quiz for you. Jason uses an axe. Freddy uses claws. Leatherface uses a chainsaw. But what does the killer in this movie use?" This week, Keita Amemiya makes a cameo appearance, toku fans get to catch up with a castmember from Kamen Rider Kuuga, we meet a Horror who...

This week a Horror encounters one of the castmembers of Shougeki Gouraigan, and Mayuri plays the damsel in distress. P.S. Is it worth me doing these individual threads, or would it be better to just have a general thread for the handfull of us that seem to be watching it? I went with individual...

What's that, you say? Shameless self-promotion? So, I've had a review blog up for a while now, as - anyone who's seen my signature for the past few weeks probably knows. I was steering clear of putting a Shameless Self Promotion Post in links until I had a toku review, and as of today, I do...
