| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Good episode. Even kids having tough in this episode with nowhere safe. I like how they portray on most parts Leon's character and his goals. Then again, almost no one can be trusted in this series especially with powerful artifacts . On another note, I like the battle was done between Leon and that Horror. All the feels again. I feel bad for that kid now but it can't be helped. |
 |
| Felt so good seeing the villagers get wrecked XD I hate Ass hole villages like them. Too bad Zoro couldn't get laid with that hot MILF this ep XD Nice to see Leon developing bit by bit. |
 |
| Damn, what an episode, might be my favorite episode of the season so far. Art/Animation: Same as usual, somewhat odd artstyle but works and I love the look of the horror as usual as well(SO METAL). Music: A lot of atmospheric music this time around and it worked great, gave a real thrilling vibe throughout. Voice acting was very well done as well. Story/Characters: Not so much for development but it did flesh out Leon a bit, much needed because I felt he was the weakest character of the show so far. Alois was clearly a mirror of Leon, a thirst for revenge. Not too much to it but the entire episode had an overarching theme of superstition and what it can lead to and the fact that there is no real way to end it at all. This also ties back to why Leon's mother was killed in the first place, she was a witch, witches are viewed as cursed or cause curses and so they kill them in horrible ways because it's supposed to mean something when really the "ritual" or "ceremony" are really just a weird way of blaming someone for the bad things that happened in your life. This is why Alois was crying when the horror was killed, he wanted revenge just like the rest of the villagers and now he couldn't get it. The final scene which showcased the villagers still relying on that superstition to make themselves feel better was the cherry on top, it just never ends. Very well done, remarkably so even. This series deserves far more respect than it is getting. Only real thing that worries me is I hope the series doesn't go the route of monster of the week. It's fine if they include an overarching theme in each episode but it kinda screws with the pacing. Won't call it a real criticism though unless it confirms itself to be monster of the week. |

| That was a weird village. Not enough development tho. |
| Not the best of eps the villagers are the same type we have seen a million times before the fight with the horror was also rather cliche as was the kid being so like the MC and the way he got over is so fast felt very contrived and I already knew what was going to take place before it did so yeah average eps |
| Everywhere they go bad things are happening. Oh well I guess that's the life of Makai Knights. |
| Now that's one creepy village to have to live in... Freaking hell... that's one "young lady" our womanizer share a bed with too soon XD. A WILD MILF HAS APPEARED! Doll found in the wood... holy crap it's probably cursed or something... I think the doll took on the form of Alois and did in those kids. Ceremony... I think it's something rather sickening... The villagers got what they deserved. At least Leon realized that revenge is not the right path to take. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| I was really relieved that Alois wasn't the Horror! -_-; The villagers were disgusting, they deserve each other. |
| Another good one, Leon got a lot of focus which was nice and very needed. |
 |
| Starting to dislike this. Like where's the main plot? |
~my list
| great episode, this was deifnetly the darkest one yet and i thought it was interesting as hell, i love these type of lotttery like dark secrets in communities plus the action was strong as usual next episode is the one im excited for, the prince's situation is really interesting to me and i cant wait to see when he eventually teams up with herman and leon |

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 |
| thats a great episode, those villagers that were killed deserve their death and the old man will be executed too by his fellow villagers, next episode the prince is training to become the next makai knight? |
| Poor Herman didn't get any this time either ;_:. It was really satisfying when villagers got what they deserved, although I'd prefer it was more bloody (even though I'm not a fan of gore). They perished way too quick. At least the leader of the group got a proper punishment at the end. Combat was splendid as usual, but I'd love to see something less one sided. I understand that the idea here is that Leon is the legendary OP golden knight, but they could add some Herman action to the mix, or just make it more challenging. Either way, great episode and I hope this series keeps up the quality, 5/5. This is currently my favorite series of the season, I hope they'll get to the main storyline soon. |
| [b]Men talk of killing time, while time quietly kills them. |
| What is evil? Right and wrong? "Leave it. It is not our job to pass judgement on humans." Though I think I might be pulling stuff out of the blue, for once I actually see some symbolism and philosophical aspects to a series. XD I am enjoying this series, and I like how it doesn't have yet a singular plot. Everything is, rather, falling into place slowly. We probably get some more character development for the next few episodes before the main plot picks up. |
| This series just keeps rising through my ratings. I'm glad that I didn't drop this after the first episode |
| Really messed up village. I liked how they continued that cycle at the end. The atmosphere of the villagers are really similar to the salem witch trials. Shows how far paranoia and suspicion can go. I'm enjoying this more than I thought. Hope the main plot picks up soon, the build up is nice so far. |
 |
| Finally a good take on how revenge corrupts. Instead of seeing the MC turn into an annoying character for 2+ episodes and how they get affected by wanting revenge, we get 1 episode that was actually interesting and good, also portraying the message clearer than most. |
| I seriously believe that this show gets better with every episode, and the fight scenes are wonderfully fluid! Little bit of character development and world building. Next we get to see the price again, wonder who the Knight of Light is. |
| Be sure to message me if you quoted me and want me to respond! Just give me a link to the forum, because usually I leave my comment, then leave the forum. |
| Interesting episode. It really felt good to see how those idiots got wrecked. Next episode it seems like from the preview we will know about "Gaia/ Knight of Light". |

| That moment when you think you are approaching a cute girl from behind only to discover the true face of horror. Btw we all know why the villagers killed her husband. Look at the women they had. They wanted a piece of that ass and when the stranger in town seem to be the one getting it instead of them they just lost all sanity. That is true hidden plot. |
| great episode. poor kid, at first i thought he was holding an overcooked fish iso doll lol. and leon... the more i look at him, the hotter he gets <3. this just keep getting better and better each episode and i cant wait to watch the next one, interesting preview there. |
| so finally 3 makai knight show up usually garo team production always make 3 makai knight each season but i hope there are another makai knight appear in future episode BTW enjoy this >>> http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/234/4/7/garo_splash_2_by_robinosuke-d6j7l37.jpg |
 |
| the villagers do some creepy stuff overall a good episode |
 |
| Herman the Woman Layer. That kid better keep an eye on his mom, cuz Herman is most definitely coming back |
 <--- Who Your Waifus Look Up To --->  |
| Liked how the bit at the start of the episode tied in with the bit towards the end, he talks about how Leon is going to get revenge at any cost, only to change his mind when seeing the boy try to do the same. |
 |
| I liked the episode, showed how the Makai Knights act, and the difficulties that population is suffering, I am quite curious about this story .. |
  |
| "Young lady..." *woman shows her face* LOL! I actually wished they let the horror go on a rampage through town before they killed it. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| no close up of garo....lol. still enjoying but this feels like filer episode. .. |

He needed more screen time. Alfonso episode next? Finally! I've been wondering how he'll play a role in this series. |

| That was actually cool. The village is fucked up that's for sure. Leon is in control for most parts. Herman the funny guy, yet serious, was able to do his part as well. Leon seems to understand Alois because they want revenge. Also, his mother is a MILF. Hahahahaha! |

 |
| Ok episode. i wanna see what happens to the prince next episode. |
| 4/5 Episode of transition but that does not leave disappointed, given the hardness of the narrative. Nothing watered down to the end, that's the beauty of the story flowing smoothly. The design is nice, because the animations. Perhaps the CG monster is a little ugly, a little. Excellent growth of Leon. |

Lol Herman : "At least die because of a woman, then you can go down like a man". I love this guy, he's hilarious. I also like the newest Makai knight they just introduced even though I know NOTHING about him. He just seems really cool, and it looks like he's going to train Alfonso |
 |
| Wow. This episode took Garo to a whole new level. Sadly, I was bored with episode three, but this one brought me right back. More episodes like this one, please. |
| That was an excellent episode, from start to finish: I loved how Alois' thirst for revenge perfectly mirrored Leon's, and the scene where the latter tries to dissuade the former to take the same destructive path only to realise his own hypocrisy was a very powerful one. I also really enjoyed the fact that this week's Horror was not pure evil, but instead a morally ambiguous one, and that he/she/it/xe was on Alois' side till the end. Even when the doll took its true Horror form and fled from the fight against Leon, it still attacked the villagers, as if to carry out Alois' vengeance. Leon's face after he killed the Horror was heart-breaking, and the ending incredibly cruel. Definitely the best episode yet! |

| random ass event somehow Leon just opens the bedroom door and figures out that the doll is the horror O.o |
| I don't consider myself a good judge. trying not to be an obnoxious otaku |
| a hot milf and he didn't get laid lol |
| the Horror actually did Alois a favor by slaying almost all of the villagers except for that scumbeg chief. the Horror was so good-natured that it prevented Alois from harboring any kind of ill wills against the villagers for what they did to their dad. |
| LMAO German look like he fell in love. The doll was the Horror. Kill the chief. German didn't get to smash this episode. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| I loved this episode. It was a bit scary and I liked that. 5/5 |
| Creepy village, they should have burnt it down from the start |
 |
| The villagers sure killed Alois's father in the most brutal way possible, I understand why he wanted revenge against them. Touching episode. |
