>>20800Come on, the horrors can differentiate between women and men. The moment where they showed the previous victims of the horror was when I realized it's definitely a woman.
No.20995
>>20976I'm glad they covered that. I liked this a lot more than the first episode, though the directing is still kind of messy.
That harlot at the diner is no match for Honoo no Kokuin's Garm though.
No.21001
>>20978I still have no idea what the main plot is gonna be. These two motherfuckers don't seem to have much room to grow, they are already pretty awesome. So the character development is gonna be in White's garden (even though White in this anime is with red hair). We will probably get more insight on that next ep, when we get introduced to the woman.
No.21003
>Also they sure got some budget this time around.Also most of Mappa's best staff. Should be good for the production values if nothing else.
>>20804>and the camera was moving around way too much in that chase scene towards the end for my taste Agreed. Small amounts of camera shake can be nice in certain scenes to build more tension, but it was way too much during some of the action sequences, to the point where it just felt disorientating. But maybe that's what Park was going for.

>>20800>And is her smartphone going to have a broken screen for the whole anime? My autism can't handle to look at it.Her smarthphone's screen being broken in that scene was obviously just to give some representation of her struggles. It'd be the same as if they introduced her character with scratches and a bandaid on or something. Nice touch to give her character a bit more depth, probably won't stay that way.
No.21006
>>21004I wouldn't dismiss him too soon, in all fairness. He's a fantastic action animation director, and he directed episodes of previous Garo series and some sequences in the movie. He's also a brilliant animator.

Good episode, but I didn't find the fight scene very satisfying. Wonder if we'll see more of the green haired dude, I liked him.
No.21237
>>21228He's not in the OP or ED, so probably not.
>>21224I don't like her as much as Honoo no Kokuin's alchemist.
No.21240
>>21237I didn't like Ema from the first episode as much as I do now, so there is time for Sex Hair Motoko to catch up too. But Ema is quite the high bar anyway, so I won't be disappointed even if I continue liking Sex Hair less than Ema.

For the most part found the episode kinda boring. Just a wait for the priests sister to reveal herself as the horror. On the other hand this was one of the most satsifying things I've seen all week. The fact that her efforts to help in the fight contributed exactly shit pleased me as well. Really feel she should have at least been a little injured from that big old chunk of metal flying into her but I guess I can't have everything.
No.21558
>>21485But that chunk of metal shouldn't have broken off AFTER she dropped the bell, because the metal rope it was connected with wasn't elastic. That annoyed me to no end. But, even that aside, abysmal production values. I guess they spent their budget on the first three episodes. Hope we get more budget for the less boring eps from now on.
No.21849
>>21848Well honestly I just couldn't thing of a more appropriate word.
I actually expected
Sophie to come back and find the sister in pieces with the horror eating her up. But we got a generic sword through the body instead.Still. It is going to be a big change from the smile here
>>21755 and the I have seen some shit from here
>>21847Reminder that Honoo turned it into a big joke.
No.21863
>>21849I guess you meant in terms of "breaking the cutie" which one was worse. I'd still say Leon got the shorter end of the stick, though he had it coming from miles ahead, so we as viewers didn't feel it so much. Here the Sister started raising death flags not from her first appearance in the anime, but only from the start of this episode, after all.
Of course, Sophie still hasn't even started realizing her brother is the king of El Dorado, so she has much more in store as BSOD potential.

Sister, you were too good for this show.
No.21966
This episode felt like the Dragon Ball Z of Garo. But then again I have never watched Dragon Ball.
The best part out of all of this is that next episode they will be going on a journey to El Dorado. I hope it takes most of the rest of the (hopefully two-cour) anime and it doesn't end up ending fast. It was like a year ago when I got disappointed by the travel adventures of another duo ending within an episode or two.
No.22007
Funny that Luke in this is pretty much just Kouga from the original, but he's not the main character. Meanwhile the only thing we've learnt about Sword after all this time is that he had a little sister.

Heh.
>>22083Agreed. It was indeed a pretty great episode. Funny how not having any fights actually made it infinitely better than the previous one that was practically only fights.

I liked all the stuff in the present, but the flashbacks less so. I hope we get to find out more about knight and what led him to his obsession with power, as it stands he's a pretty boring character.

>>22226I would agree with this, but if you want to catch up quick and participate in the threads I don't think it's a terrible place to start. From the preview it looks like next episode is more episodic stuff, so I'm pretty sure at this point it's going to be 2 cours.
