Garo Honoo no Kokuin
This week, we learned a piece of
the villain’s plan, how bad ass a father can be, and that Leon is a virgin.
Obviously the last piece of information was the most important. In actuality Leon
is shaping up to be an interesting character. On the outset he looks like he is
a cool, calm warrior type. He cares about honor and working towards his
ultimate goal. Distractions of drink, money, and flesh mean nothing to him. But
that is only the most visible layer. In actuality he is still young, an adult
by the standards of the time period of the show, but he is still a boy, and not
only because he is a virgin. I mentioned before that he is naïve as a Makai
Knight, but that naivety seems to stretch further than that. While he acts calm
and cool, his emotions are always surprisingly just about to boil over. He is
basically just a normal teen. But this gives me hope for his growth. Yes he is
an emotional youngling right now, but by the end of the show? Who knows?

On the episode
itself, I want to say that is was very standard. That isn’t a bad thing,
standard Garo is still getter then most things on television. While the plot of
the week was just ok, I have to admit I really like the villains plans. The
idea of inducing the darkness that is required to be first consumed by a Horror,
and then forcing the Horror into the person is an evil yet effective plan to
build an army of the damned very quickly. While they don’t get a lot of screen
time this season, I am really digging the villains this season. My only complaint
is in the next episode it seems to be introducing another Makai Knight. This
brings the totally up to four, and this one will actually be evil. I believe the
most Makai Knights we have gotten before was in season two, but I am not
counting the final battle with all the Knights, I mean just named ones. And
they were working off of ones from the previous season. This season alone we
have gotten three brand new Knights. I feel like we might be getting too many.
But on the other hand, that is a benefit of animation over live action. It costs
less to draw a new suit then to manufacture one and do the CG for it.
