Thanks, I see three books on HLJ though. Decided to get the two that are already in stock.
We saw pics of that figure even before Garo aired. I think it was the original design for Kiba. But who knows, they may reuse it for something else.CookSux said:If anyone remembers seeing Garo and Gouten prototype pics, there was a Horror holding a sceptor. He wasn't shown in the show, and possibly is a clue to the next part of the series?
8) The SHEER amount of Toku Cameos was definitely worth it. That in itself was worth watching. I'm going to use their toku names, cuz I don't know their real ones. It's nice to see Nagi in a somewhat more dimensional role. Kitoaka was hilarious. Murikami was nice to see. And ahaha...they brought Naoto back - wow, he was PERFECT for the role. HAHA. I wonder if they deliberately made him a computer nerd as a throwback to Timeranger. OMG. they even brought Mio from PGSM back. That was a nice touch, but I'm glad I got to see her in a role other than PGSM - which I hated, her character. I'm probably missing a few.
3) Kaoru's actress really needs some acting lessons. Ironically, she was better in the beginning and the ending of the series. I almost couldn't stand her in the middle. Didn't she also do what's that Undead...Blade Queen Category? But, they did portray her character nicely. I will give them that.
J-Caizer said:As is known, I'm no hardcore fan... aside from Mio who I recognized, where were the toku cameos from? And Naoto from Timeranger was in it? Crap, I've always wanted to know what that guy was like.. I didn't even notice him in Garo... was he the guy with the fishy girlfriend?
Totally agree, tho I didn't think her acting was all the good in the beginning, but by the end she was doing a really good job. I started finding it funny how stupid her character was. I mean, how many times can you walk off with a stranger at night in a month... and keep getting attacked by Horrors before you figure out that maybe you shouldn't run off with a bunch of strangers every night?
Anyway, glad you enjoyed! :thumbs:
Hopefully I can get in some Agito this weekend. :anime:

10) The female in me though made me object at least once to the fact that they kept using the concept of the "Yin" as in Female, dark, negative (as opposed to positive) aspects. Ok, I know that's what they meant by it, but it always seemed to come off as female = bad. That's just my personal quibble. The fact they used the Yin/Yang concept correctly was good by itself. It was at the last ep where that hit me. I was like, "You know, if I were one of those die-hard feminists, I'd seriously object to this show." Lol.
All in all, I'm glad I did sit down to watch this. Makes me think maybe the toku shows not for the kiddies will actually allow a venue for more freedom of expression. There is definitely something to be said for a "no holds barred, open, not "dumbed" down for younger audiences" approach to shows.
