The group who sang the OP was the one who sang One Punch Man's OP, right? Holy shit. That fucking OP, though.

HOLY SHIT. I'M SPEECHLESS. THAT WAS A GREAT FUCKING EPISODE. THE ACTION SCENES, THAT ANIMATION, THOSE MONSTERS: THE OPPAI MONSTER PFFFFT AND THAT MONSTER WHO'S EATING RED-HEAD GIRLS, THE FUCKING SOUNDTRACK!

THAT WAS A GREAT FUCKING EPISODE. PROBABLY THE BEST FIRST EPISODE FOR ME THIS SEASON. OHMYGOD. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE. OHMYGOOOOOOD!

HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE!

I really fucking love JAM Project. Been loving them way before they even did One Punch Man's OP.
They did way more than just One Punch Man's. Everyone from that group is already a star on their own. Here are some of their other songs.

First episode in and this is already turningg into my favorite Garo series. It's nice having an outgoing MC cool instead of the gloomy serious ones we had.

What an action packed episode. Very fast pace, so fast it was hard to follow at some moments.
Boobs mechanics killed me.
Enjoyed it, 4/5.

I really enjoyed this. Probably will be one of my favorites this season. Shaky cam is annoying, and not a big fan of the CGI. But the CGI is not used in every fight scene so its fine. I like the character design, and the two mains look promising so far. Hope all boobs don't jiggle so much though..

Completely new to this series, it just came under my radar because it just started airing. This is a stand alone series compared to the source material, so I shouldn't have a problem.
I'm impressed at the soundtrack and the volatility to put you in a dark cityscape, I hope I continue to see the universe structure expand on these two elements.
Also enjoying the character designs, hope more expansion is to come. I don't know if it will because I'm not familiar with the source material.
It's a MAPPA production so I didn't expect awesome fight scenes, in fact they were god awful. Too shaky, as if to evade the notice of the obviously CG rendered villain.
Hoping it gets better, it has some major potential.

Been awhile since we've seen a fantasy/action anime that doesn't star a whiny teenage MC.

Modern day Garo! It need not be said that Sword's pretty badass, but he seems like a good guy to boot ~ and knows how to appreciate the joys of life *wink*. Dude literally starts off by punching horrors to death, and Zaruba apparently can empower his motorcycle.

You're welcome. Sometimes I just spend an entire evening just listening to JAM Project songs. It puts me in a good mood.

EDIT: Since I'm here. Have some more. As you can see, JAM Project specialises in doing songs for hot blooded shows, generally mecha, but also super hero like One Punch Man.

Great start.

I loved opening scenes, reminded me lot of DmC games. Sword looks a bit like one of main characters from 91 days + he, among other things, reminded me of Space Dandy too. Dark and "adult" style of this world is pretty to look at, lot of details and fun stuff to see and it overall it's refreshing to see such style.

I would go for that steak and french fries in a heartbeat. Sophie looks very colorful in contrast to rest of the world, which I enjoyed. She also looks almost exactly like one of my friends so that's funny. :D

Not one scene felt too long or stretched, everything was exactly right. Lot of lively action, if not a bit too lively. I was getting a lost at times with all punching and shaking of camera it was hard to focus on details. But those punches felt heavy and I am glad it was not full of explosion and destruction and it was more focused on close combat between characters. That bike scene with sword grinding road reminded me of FFVII bike chase and how Sword was draging Horror behind him was fantastic.

Looking forward to next episodes. It looks like this season I will have lot of shows to watch.

Simply badass. This is a nice change from the norm and this is gonna be my show of the season and that is saying something because I normally can't find one easily.

About that, I was wondering if there are any animes where there's a badass female character who, when the day is done, would also eat like a queen and picks up and fucks muscled/beautiful fuckboys?
Now THAT would be interesting to me. Though I doubt most people will like this theoretical female character the same way they do this show's MC.

This is like Blassreiter but with better CGI and a million times more badass, edgy, and over-the-top. The action sequences were top-notch but the shaky camera could really use an overhaul. The cast seemed pretty cool so far - I especially miss seeing macho dudes like Sword in anime nowadays lol. Sophie was adorable.

Style over substance for sure, but that's not always a bad thing.

This season of Garo is quite different from the other two prequels, but it looks quite promising. The special effects were awesome. Finally I have found an anime were the main character is a perv. That's the best. I hope he does more stupid things.

It's gonna be interesting to learn more about Sophie and that dude with white marks on his face. I bet he is a magician or also Makai knight. I really wonder what this Eldorado place is. I feel this is gonna be good.

Fierce action animation backed by a simple premise.

The main character, Sword, is a bad ass who eats giant steaks, and dons a talking ring. He hunts these creatures called "Horrors", who are people that have—by way of their negative emotions—been demon-possessed. He meets Sophie, a target of one of these creatures.

Sword's transformation at the end was fairly excessive. In human form, he was already bad ass. He didn't need to turn into a dragon robot thing—or whatever that was. I'm catching some Transformers influence from this.

5/5 overall for the episode. Great start.

Wow, I'm not an expert but the animation here looks expensive. Didn't know the franchise had money for something like this. Story is pretty much nonexistent, but I guess that's not that bad for a first episode. Cliches here and there, but the anime seems to be abundant in style and badassery and that's enough to keep me watching.

Is this series going to start every season with some nudity?

I like the main character already, he seems like a complete opposite of the mc's of the previous two garo seasons

hopefully it will be good and not another disappointment as the second season

Some of the movement in fights is hard to see and sometimes it felt like there wasn't enough visual information but overall it's a solid opener. The motorcycle is pretty cool. I enjoyed it nonetheless
