Garo anime isn't remotely similar to Berserk. It has its own feel and atmosphere. As well as a lot of great characters and their development.
The thing that always annoyed me in Garo franchise was the lack of character development and any real plot. Thankfully both anime and season 3 had a lot of both. That's why I prefer them over any other Garo media.
Season 3 had character development? Not really. The dumbass Garo dude was the same jackass at the end of the show that he was at the beginning. Not to mention they completely threw away all of the great choreography and Horror designs in that season. Oh, and they also barely had any armor action. What is the point of having him transform if it is going to be 3 seconds of a really bad looking CGI suit? Also, let us not forget that they had a clip show, a new episode, and another clip show in a row.
Kouga grew as a character in Season 1 AND the show had the best choreography ever in a Toku series, an excellent gothic rock soundtrack, atmosphere, unique and interesting designs for the Horrors, top notch cinematography, and the armor was a real suit and was on screen for quite a bit. Amemiya knew what a Toku series was supposed to entail. It felt like an Onimusha game combined with Devil May Cry.
