I thought this was a really fun and stylistic episode, much in the same way that the film episode was
.
Having watched the Bakuman anime, which is basically about Manga artists and the whole process of it, and having read a lot of manga, also made me appreciate the content of this episode a lot :anime:.
I'd totally read that Makai King manga if it were real :shakefist.
Though I really have to wonder how a dark-action manga lost to what I assume is a Magical Girl manga. I thought it was anime that was Otaku-driven, not manga
.
Well, at least the assistant still has a promising Manga career to look forward to :sweat:.
The fight with the Horror was pretty cool, especially with all the manga imagery, and Raiga's method of defeating the Horror was also quite neat :coolshades:.
I also really liked that Kaoru reference :thumbs:.
I was expecting another comedic ending with Mayuri and Gonza, as per usual, and then it suddenly took a turn for the dramatic :O_O:.
I think this is the first Garo ending to have something really plot relevant happen in it :eyebrow:.
It looks like Mayuri is maintaining her body through those things she's eating, but I wonder why she has to? Is it because of the seeds or because of what makes her basically a Madou Tool?
