| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Solid battle with lots amounts of action. I got what was expected from this episode in terms of the climatic fight both in terms of the conflict and interpersonal struggles. Rikou really improved himself imo and I applaud him for that. A bit of mixed thoughts for the entire series though, I definitely liked the first season a lot better. |

| What is the relationship between Raikou and Seimei in the end anyway? |
 Last episode. Douman going more and more insane, and Raikou has become the same "entity" before he meet Seimei. |

| I was so excited for this season but it ended up being quite disappointing. It was uninteresting most of the time, and I can't think of any memorable moments from this season. I'll admit it got a little bit better toward the end, so I'll be nice and give a 4/10 rather than a 3/10. At least we have the Honoo no Kokuin movie to look forward to. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| So we wont even mention what happens with the Ligth Palace? |
Oh, pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness. Thy actions cause men pain and suffering. Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins. How would you like to see what death is like? -Enma Ai |
| wtf..... this last episodes were good, but that was really a weird ending since there was no epilogue or anything like it... looks like they just wanted to get over with this series asap... I was expecting at least a few seconds of Raiko and Seimei... |
 |
| Well after doing a sprint watching of the first season in one night and finally switching back to this I can understand why some are disappointed. I like the series.... well half of it when it's not faffing about with some plot that isn't related to the main one! but I do feel that leaving quite a few loose ends will make people angry. Maybe a OVA or DVD extras will tie up the plot? Or maybe they have a movie? |
 |
| what is this decline of derpy animation!? They actually had nice animation for the last episode. |
 |
| That felt so incomplete...no closing moment for Raiko and Seimi when they were separated for so long and what about Raikou's brother or the light palace. This was very disappointing overall. 3/10 |
| Doesn't raise a candle to Honoo no Kokuin, the ending to this was rushed and there was absolutely no feeling of closure. Animation and OST was extremely good, but the characters were pretty much meh the entire time (Only Seimei was good) and some characters got far to little development (Kintoki was in basically every episode and he got zero development, I mean COME ON!), the writing felt lackluster and far to repetitive without that moment when the anime went from meh to shit is going down like episode 17-18 of Honoo no Kokuin, and it was so boring 4/10 |
| was the final episode of garo crimson moon made a completely different staff or something, the fights were actually pretty fucking awesome and the art was really good and actually animated for once. the show overall was still a mess and a major plothole just outright got dropped with the light palace guy and yorinobu but hey i had fun with the last episode at the very least which is more than i can say for the rest of the series I truly think the plot of this series was fine, the execution and horrendous directing is the reason this was such a shitty and forgettable series, i truly believe if the staff of honoo no kokuin were doing this that the show would of at least been a 7/10 or something. a generous 4/10 |

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 |
| Great finale (The first series' finale was way more epic though) imo but that ending was underwhelming as fuck..... We didn't even get a proper conclusion yet alone any hints at romance blooming with Raikou and Seimei I'll give this a generous 6/10 since it wasnt THAT bad |
yhfxirai said: what is this decline of derpy animation!? They actually had nice animation for the last episode. Its not just the anime version, the original live action series too also have decline from Garo - Yami no Terasu[season 3] airing on 2013. Every series garo after season 3 become so boring & generic I suspect this happens because Tohokushinsha Production still can't handle garo series which become years release instead 2 years production release. |
 |
| That really doesn't feel like an ending with the Michinaga stuff just dropped. |

Grimmgeta said: Ok I'm confused. Did they have to cut two episodes from the series? Because up until the end it was set for 26 episodes. This episode's ending made the series feel incomplete. Douman dies and then credits. We don't go back to the whole Michinaga plot line from last episode which clearly wasn't finished plus things with other characters as well. So if this is really the end then this is even more disappointing than I thought it would be. Season 1 was of course much better in my opinion, but I thought they'd at least give this season a decent ending but they couldn't even do that. If anyone knows whether or not they had to cut episodes out let me know. At least we have the Garo movie that's coming up. Looking forward to seeing Leon and Alfonso again. I don't know for sure, but there had to have been some production issues. We got that one recap episode, and I remember there being a break or two. Just looking at this episode and the way it ended, it was definitely incomplete. Basically, this was episode 24 of what should have been a 26-episode series. I mean, it was such an abrupt ending. Douman died, and that was it. Nothing after the credits. I had to instantly check MAL to see if there was another episode...but nope. There was clearly supposed to be some type of epilogue! After all this time, we got no payoff to Seimei and Raikou's relationship. What a waste. Not even Romi Park could save this one. I love you Studio MAPPA, but you fucked up with this one. The first GARO series was so much better, and I look forward to the movie sequel as well. |
| The finale felt so incomplete! We were left with more questions unanswered and no real closure. Definitely prefer the first season over this one! Overall I gave this a generous 7/10! |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| Well. Seimei is a great character, the Samurai Garo version looks VERY cool, but other than that the series was pretty lame. They didn't explain wth kintoki is, since he's eternally young, the ending was too abrupt with no epilogue (come on, you had OP and ED credits in the last ep! Do an epilogue) and the plot was weak. Yasusuke, Michinaga and even the fortune teller lady weren't well explored as well. Not to mention Kaguya. It's Makai no Hana all over again. |
| Wait, Episode 24? Then why MAL only listed only 23? |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| so did they just now disclude the recap episode so its listed as 23 episodes rather than 24. |

| I don't know why this anime got so many negative reviews, personally i loved it. Great ending, watching Raikou and Yasusuke fighting side by side! At least their team is back, and maybe Yasuuke will be a new member? Who knows ;) What was that in the end? An announcement for a 2nd season? Would love to watch it. 8/10, will miss Garo. |

Yeah wtf was that? When i was trying to submit episode 24 as watched it opened the eps 23 discussion, i hope MAL corrects it... |

ozzynothing said: [ Well it was originally going to have 26 episodes not including the recap the other Garo also had same recap and mal didn't count it so it was 24 episodes instead of 25 but here I think due to some issues they cut the ending short 3 episodes idk maybe bad ratings and or they have to give up the time slot to a newer anime whatever the case we missed out on the importance of michinaga and the ending was rushed I still enjoyed it just bummed It didn't seem rushed to me, the ending i mean, but maybe you're right but that is stupid :( I also enjoyed the whole anime. Still thank you for explaining. |
| "There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| The Finale was good. As many of you i think S1 was way better than this. Also, wtf with the eps in MAL. First 26, then 25, then 24, and now 23. xD |
| A true man never dies. |
| Quite average. Honestly the concept and setting was good and I preferred it more than the alternate version but the weak and mediocre plot ruined it for me. And as if that wasn't enough the bland characters fulfilled what was left of it. I also thought that main character's personalities were some what similar to the other Garo. The show had a great potential and characters who started interesting enough but the lack of character development and the rushed story made it difficult to watch. Even Seimei and Raikou's much awaited reunion felt so formal and dull. But I never found anything romantic or emotional about them since the beginning. 5/10 |

| I was pretty lenient with one for quite a while, hoping for some slow, subtle build-up that'll all come together mid-way through the series and then keep on going. Something happened alright but then it just went back to slice-of-life in Feudal Japan again until towards the end. It wasn't bad and even some of the fillerish eps would've been k if there only hadn't been so goddamn many of them. Not much progress in terms of romantic developments between Seimei & Raikou either, which would've really helped since we got to know them a lot. Then there's also the fact that Yasusuke might've been a more interesting MC than Raikou, although the dynamic between Seimei & Raikou was there. 6/10 for me, my expectations after the 1st Garo were too high...I loved that one. |
| That was fucking garbage. Complete dissapointment. Only left is wait a year for movie (by previous season staff), I hope it will be good. |
 |
| Wow, the last ep. were amazing. It really had great animation and a lot happened. The action were really great and entertaining. I really liked the last Armor mode Raikou got. Something new we didn't see in season 1. A new form with wings that have a lot of benefit. So that's how the complete Garo look like. However, the ep. had it's negative sides too. Rudra weren't that terrific, imo, as they said during all these ep. From what I head it should be more creepy and horrifying. I don't think it were that evil as they said and they should have made it more evil and manipulating. Maybe if the monster could read people's mind and bring back people that were dear to them so they could be manipulated. That way, it would be more powerful than they made it. Even so, I agree that it were horrifying and it destroyed the whole capital as they said themselves. But I believe if it had manipulation power, it would looked better. Another downside about the ep. and maybe the whole series is that we didn't get enough screen-time of Douman's past. It's true that we saw some glimpse of his past and it made sense why he chose darkness over light. But maybe a half ep. with his backstory wouldn't be so bad instead of spreading it with little glimpse through many ep. I think that's a bad way to put it. So, as I said, if they had shown more of his past it would be more understandable why he believed so much in the darkness. But all in all, the ep. were pretty good and the action were flawless. But it makes sense since in most series the last ep. is always the best. But the series overall weren't that good. I were actually more impressed and liked season 1 more. It had a more interesting plot and it were interesting during the whole series. This season weren't like that. The plot in this season weren't that interesting as in season one and it had a very slow plot progressing. I mean 12 ep. were enough instead of 23 ep. In other words, there were way to many fillers that had nothing to do with the plot. As other has mentioned already, the last ep. had also some plotholes. The relationship between Seimei and Raikou, suddenly death of Douman and what happened to Michinaga? :/ In addition, the animation were also better in the first season (except for this ep. ofc.). The OST and OP. were ok, and even the sound were better in season 1. All in all I enjoyed this series, but not to a high degree. So therefore I will give the series 6/10. I don't think it deserve anymore than that. Oh shit, maybe I wrote too much. xD Hahah, just ignore this loser comment. :P |

valvravetruth said: What is the relationship between Raikou and Seimei in the end anyway? They will probably become a couple, but I can't say that for certain. All we know that they both had feelings for each other, so I hope it happens. :) |

There were a ep. with talking or recap as they call it. If we count that as a ep. then there will be 24 ep. But in the series information that recap ep. haven't been included, that's why they have written 23 ep. Yeah, I had totally forgotten that this series were supposed to have 26 ep. Since I watched it after it ended, I forgot about it. But yeah. what's up with that. And as many others have mentioned the last ep. were pretty confusing with many plotholes, even it had a good animation. :) |

| Great ending with a nice amount of action. This season was OK, I got bored so many times. The first one was way more interesting and I loved all the characters. Great opening :) |
| This ended up being not as bad as I expected. The ratings from friends and in general on MAL made me believe this would be far more of a trash fire than it actually was. In fact in my opinion the show was solid. Not amazing but also not awful or even just average. Somewhere between fine and good. The main issue with this season is the setting, I mean my god could this series had made feudal japan look more lifeless and plain!? The capital was a barren wasteland and the locations in this show pretty much cycled through about 7 places i.e Their home, Light Palace, Watchdog Center, The Gate, Bridge/Riverbank, Main Street and insert template mansion home of other arisocrats. And at best we got a handful of different angles taking place in any of them and that was our lot. Like seriously where were the people!? This is the capital and there is barely anyone around at all. Perhaps I'm being too kind then when I say I still thought the show was good. Honestly though, while not without some faults, the main trio were interesting enough and the story by it's end was decent (though cut a tad short in the finale). I like the Garo franchise quite abit and I got 'enough' out of this to enjoy it. Though I do understand why many perhaps have not. There is a Film for this season that came out last year (2018) and I hope it'll see fansubs or official release at somepoint. It looks like it might be a retelling rather than any sort of continuation. Still i'd be interested in seeing the major plot points of this series consolidated into a movie. There is potential in that I believe. |
| So this is the end The premise of the show seemed good, especially since it felt similiar to the first Garo, but the way they executed it was terrible. Too much filler content, this could have easily been made into a 12-episode season |
