Holy shit, that's a bloody way to feed a baby.

Eh episode felt kinda stale in the first half, but I did like the cryptic bad vibes of a demonic-like aura in the presence though. Felt kinda weird seeing Shimei's role in this episode as there's little she could do about the new threat by herself. Raikou and the others teaming up seems to work well though against that Horror, which looks like some sort of demonic drake. Bizarre/5.

I guess they avoided going to the dark side/nature of human this episode.

I am a bit conflicted about this episode and the whole series in general.... This episode was kind of good, but It bothers me that it almost looks like they just wait for the people to turn into horror and don't even try anything about it.

Another meh episode, I don't really have any other thoughts. I do agree with what the guy above me said though, and that's getting boring and repetitive.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Probably the first episode that I actually liked.
Also - incredebly strong performance by the mother's VA - Junko Iwao. Although I had a sudden flashbacks of Rurouni Kenshin: Trust and Betrayal (and urge to rewatch it again).

But "fights" are still embarrassing to watch, I'm afraid.

So, the mother passed away without giving in to the darkness? How are the kids going to survive now, especially the baby?

I kind of wish they'd loose some of the monster of the week fights at least, since the episodes themselves can be fairly interesting otherwise, IMO. As soon as Raikou put's the on the golden armor, it's like gg easy - he hasn't encountered any real challenge so far. The battles themselves seem like just things they want to get out of the way. The bigger challenges for Raikou so far seem questioning his moral views, which I've no problem with, so I just wish they'd focus more on that until we get to the meat of the story.

Lol, Raikou calls his family jewels Kintoki.

But damn, will we ever get an episode that's not depressing because someone good dies a miserable death? At least the mother didn't give in to the darkness and become possessed by the dragon Horror. I'm guessing the kids will become Seimei's wards or something, since she's taken a liking to his skills of stealing unusual crap. But hey, one person's trash is another's treasure.

The subject matter and how it was handled was muuuch better this episode, and instilled some hope back into me for this. This kind of golden thematic quality presented in episodic situation is what I bought into during the first season, so let's hope the writing will really start to hit its stride and save this one.

Mhm, episode was rushed, i mean the Legendary Horror that other Makai Knights couldn't kill and had to seal it away was cut down by an amateur with one slash? Ok...

lets not forget.. that it took a minute or less as well... a horror that's legendary should take two episodes.. maybe an entire one at minimum to kill.... not a few seconds

I really enjoyed the other Garo.. but this one..

This episode didn't feel like Garo at all. A this point, it seems like the only reason I'm watching this show is because of its title.

I like the characters more than the ones in Honoo no Kokuin, but the battles are meh.

This Garo has been utterly disappointing. The fact that this was green-lit to be 26 episodes somewhat baffles me.

Garo (animation) should have ended it with Honoo no Kokuin…

It started quite ok but then got worst and worst. And ending was... I can't even describe it properly but it did not felt like Garo should. I'm watching crap and I literally can't stop cause Romi Paku is VA in it.

So much this. I was impatiently waiting for it, counting days until I finally get to watch it and now I feel like I'm being slapped in the face. How the hell could make one Garo so good, and the other so bad?

Loving this anime.
The soundtrack is pretty epic, ending song is so good.

I like how the mother resisted and didn't become an horror
But like the previous messages, I want that the protagonists try to save them and not just wait until they become an horror ...

The episode is saved at the last minute only to the underlying message, and for showing again Fujiwara, the rest leaves much disappointed, I have no more hope even for this TV series. Drawings too poor for my taste and storytelling a bit too ridiculous, especially during the clash. Deeply disappointed by how things are going.

What a useful power for plot convenience lol.

However, would she care to use it again in the future? probably not.

Finally the tatoo man is back. Since he is the protagonist, I wonder when he will make his big entrance to the show. Anyways, I were expecting the mother too become a horror. I got really good trolled there. LOL. Anyways, I guess it were best for the kids to not see their (horror)mother get slaughtered so I am glad that didn't happen. ^^

this was the most passable episode yet, id give it a really REALLY low 3/5. Still its fucking retarded how raikou one shot that horror that was supposed to be some all powerful legendary horror.

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

Feeling bad for the mother, leaving those two young kids behind

I have the feeling nothing major has happened in terms of the main storyline (if there is such a thing?)
