The art style certainly seems interesting, and Yasuko Kobayashi has worked on Garo before, so that's certainly a plus .
Very interested to see what kind of plotline this series has. And yeah, a JAM Project opening is basically a must .

My money is on whoever had the armor before Kouga's dad.
I'm psyched to see what awesome fight scenes are going to possible now that it's animated. The One Who Shines in the Darkness had some amazing fight scenes. Especially the ones when Ryuga and the gang were fighting Sonshi.

I really hope the creative team will do something great/special using Anime and so far the ideas look great (ancient times, not Japan, special art style)
Still, I'm rather worried about Yasuko Kobayashi. Her ZERO: Black Blood bored me to tears and I am a big ZERO fan

Since I like the tokusatsu show, I’ll def check this out. So, the setting is in the ancient time eh? I wonder if this will be a far prequel of the previous show. Still, I don’t mind them making independent story.
Anyway, seeing this tokusatsu show getting an anime makes me want an adaptation of Kamen Rider Spirits manga even more. That one really deserves to be made into an epic anime series.

I'd love for a Spirits adaptation... though not by Toei's anime department .
Gouten ! Interesting to see that the series will chronicle a wielder of the Garo Armor in the distant past and in a different setting from Japan. I'm curious to see how Leon will be different from Kouga and Ryuga, and being set in the distant past could lead to more insight into the mythology of the Garo universe . The art style is very neat, and I can't wait to see it in animation. The Watchdog for this series certainly looks...different, and a bit more seductive. I wonder if she'll flirt with Leon .

So it looks like the human characters are traditionally animated while the Armors, and potentially the Horrors, are CG. So far, I'd say the CG is looking pretty good and will hopefully translate to some great action sequences .
I wonder if the baby was Leon and the Garo that saved him was the Makai Knight who preceded him in the Armor? Or if the baby will have some plot-importance to Leon's story and the overall arc of Seal of Flames? I think the anime is looking great so far and I'm really looking forward to it .
