Damn, that poor woman...

Just watching Herman trying to save her looks painful as well. Was fun watching him fight as well. The pacing feels a bit odd imo but I thought the episode was interesting. The horrors are getting a bit strange in terms of their design though. Not like they weren't unorthodox already....

I appreciate that this is in for the long-run and all, but it would be nice to get back to focusing on Leon next week. Although, this was still a pretty good episode in its own right, especially with that (unsurprising, but at the same time surprising) revelation right at the end. I can bet that that's gonna have some major implications going forward from here.

God freaking damn it. Garo is finally getting an interesting storyline with Leon overcoming his weaknesses so what happens? We get two fillers episodes that hardly serve any purpose and do nothing to advance the plot. At the very least they're not as bad as some fillers I've seen, but I'm happy we're going back to Leon next week.

So much love in the air :3 XimenaxHerman OTP <3

I hope nothing bad happens to her.

Lol'd at Fabian having the urge to heal Herman XD

What's with the end :O It was obvious Mendooza was alive but why would Herman need to work with him??

Well, another episodic adventure but I am glad that the plot seems to be kicking in again starting next week.

A horror that is obsessed with helping people. Given how cruel the world is, the fact that he helps more people than he kills might be more beneficial to have around then to lose. Wish they went into it a bit more but they basically just wrote it off as, "Nope, you're evil" and killed him. Disappointing. His design wasn't all that cool either.

The episode fleshed out Herman's character a bit but other than that it didn't really add much. Seems Mendoza is still alive after all. I figured as much given how rushed his defeat was before.

Still gotta praise the soundtrack of this show. So atmospheric when it needs to be. The episode itself was pretty pointless though besides some fleshing out and easing back into the plot at the end.

That was one strange horror. Dr. Fabian injured Herman and then he healed him after that.

Ximena is life. I freaking love her. But my arms hurt from throwing out all these death flags on her and Leon's friend. God I hope nothing bad happens to them.
While Garo has been slow lately, i really enjoy these episodes setting up the characters and their relationships.
Next episode seems to have a cute, but ominous feel to it..

It was nice to see Ximena and Herman's relationship.

The horror was rather unique to only eat one person and the amount of people he saves not being accurate though. Healing Herman too in battle, perhaps he wanted better food.

Next week seems really interesting, but snow is generally quite bitter...

I wish there would be more focus on Leon, he is the most interesting character and he is been missing for quite some time.

Wow. This series has been so Slice of Life since the defeat of Mendoza, and now we get the revelation that Mendoza is still alive? Not like it's really a surprise, but still...

I have a bad feeling about next week's episode, something really bad is going to happen to Lara's family. Having Lara in the ending leaves hope that she will be able to stay with Leon, which is something he really needs. He was too much of the "wasted youth" type before, all he did was burn with revenge and kill horrors.

The death flags on Ximena were flying high and it's a bit unsettling, but my theory is that her death will serve as the catalyst to make Herman chill out and grow up a bit.

Although, and cannot explain why, the ending of this episode and the preview for next week's episode kind of gave me the feeling that Herman might end up one of the final villains in the series. I hope I'm wrong, I like my theory about Ximena better.
Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me.

What an unusual Horror that doctor was. That was just a once in a lifetime experience being healed by the enemy.

Mendoza?! I was right. He's still alive. Working with him sounds suspicious. What is that white girl planning?

"Taberareru" means both "she'll be able to eat" and "she'll be ready to be eaten", one of the things that clued Herman in.

Horror unable to resist the urge to heal Herman was freakin hilarious.

Alfonso only had brief cameos in the last two eps, hoping that he'll get some real action soon.

Intrigued with that Mendooza and the prospect of Herman having to team up with him... against something even more evil than before, huh?

THis is reflecting the pace of the tokusatsu series as well in which in the middle it tends to slow down and focus on other things. But it is nice to see episodes based around Herman and Alfonso.

Also, I like how they are developing the Garo characters. With the exception of lets say with Ryuuga in season 3, the main characters, especially Kouga and Raiga, tend not to develop individually too much due to reason of Tabla Rasa. But because Leon is a younger character at 17 (while the other Garo characters in the live actions were in their mid-20s), there is more of a chance of that development.

So good episode and all, I like German and Ximenas little relationship, but I just learned that the VA for Ximena did the dubbing for Hermione in Japanese!
Mind blow!

Episode that proved little addictive, only the final episode and the PV han given small emotions.
Narrative was a bit bland, even in the quality of the designs, but there was a small utility, showing a further step forward in the relationship between German and Ximena.
It seems that this parenthesis style SOL, it's over, I can not wait to see the next episode to be sure.

Signore Dottore the Horror is in town! Those beak masks always creep me out, yet are also somehow adorable. That battle was hilarious, fixing up German and him just going "ow ow ow." The chemistry between Ximena and German is sure shaping up, willing to bet she'll be the one to make him settle down.
