Haven't seen the first episode, but I've seen the opening. The song is good, as expected of Kageyama (though a bit too actiony when compare to other Garo ops), but the video is like being on an acid trip... I don't know what to make of it

Say, since this season is being based on in the past, I wonder if we will get to see some origins of the Makai Knight armor of Kiba and some ancestors of the other Makai Knights like Badon, Baron, or Lord/Rord.

Spoiler for Episode 1:

I'm not too familiar with the Garo franchise but I did heard it was a darker take on the tokusatsu genre. The first episode was alright and I assume this was a prequel to the main story so expect a lot of things to be explained not seen in the previous installments to be frank. As expected of MAPPA, the animation was excellent and the shaking cam was also there since it was the studio's specialty to be expert at so I'm imagining that will be the same with Rage of Bahamut: Genesis. I didn't know much what's going on, but the premise was rather interesting nonetheless. Only reason I came watching the first episode was because I did stumble by chance on Fapservice without expecting it had nudity in it (even though it slipped past the censors), I got intense story instead (not too bad by any means). That's a pretty good premiere, I wonder how the direction goes.

No subs yet?

Well, this was fun. I'm not familiar with the source franchise either so I didn't know what to expect from it, but it was lots of fun, and it also looked really nice. Looking forward to the rest.

One thing though, that golden wolf helmet looked really cute and non-threatening. I suppose it's the short muzzle and the cartoonish teeth...

Didn't expected this to be so good!!
Great combination of dark story, adult content ( not cheap fanservice ) and great action
Best first episode in this season so far!

Still no info then Funi will air it?

It was actually good for a Garo adaptation, though I'm a little bit weirded out by the Garo armor though. It isn't as golden or shiny as I expected, and the whole flame on one side is kinda strange.

I'm hoping that Leon already have some Horror kills under his belt, enough that we could see his 100th Horror kill and the metal horse after that.

Can't resist so I watched the raw, and it didn't disappoint. The action is very Garo-esque, and the CGI is much better than the live-action.

IMO, they should've done this a long ago. Imagine the possibilities...

Episode 1

Spoiler:

That was much better than I expected. So far they have built a very nice background with all the knights and priests brutally killed/tortured/raped. The dark atmosphere is well done with some good funny moments thrown in such as the candle censor. The battle is awesome and I love Garo's one sided flame.

On my watch list now.
