Yep, to me the cinematography also looks better. They didn't spend a week skip for nothing (though they messed up Alfonso's face a lot). I don't expect it to stay thet way, but this episode was powerful.

Do not be so pessimistic. Maybe this is the start of the new & revitalized Garo.
I like anime.

I really like where this show is going. The new OP song is good. Not as good as Divine Flame, of course, but I like that funky vibe :D

yeah thats fine and dandy and all, but some of us may be planning to watch the garo live actions now that the anime has gotten us interested in them and it'd be great if people would STOP FUCKING SPOILING THEM

Leon has only known being a Makai Knight his whole life. With the exception of Alfonso who already had training as a normal swordsman, Makai Nights and Priests/Priestesses are trained from very early on. Leon was only motivated by avenging his mother and just to be strong, and not protecting people which is why he was no longer worthy of being Garo.

Alfonso despite his royal upbringing is very humble and a man of the people. He is a leader by example. I say Leon's time with this farm family will re-inspire and motivate him to understand what it means to be a Makai Knight.

Still, these times is a good time to use Zaruba.

finally, Leon finds himself a woman. I do hope he gets to take her along without her whole family getting wiped though.

Pretty calm episode, look forward to the next one. Things are bound to heat up, the new OP and ED are pretty cool. I really liked the first OP and I still prefer it but this is a pretty good one too. :)

It's obvious a horror will attack the family or maybe the lord is a horror.

This was a pretty chill episode. I reaally enjoyed it. I want to see Leon really develop, come back, and impress. I feel for him, he didn't deserve to lose him armor imo. At this point he's really the only character I actually care for.

This and I hope Lara won't get killed for the sake of plot to make Leon a knight again .

A bit of soul searching was definitely what Leon needed after all the shit that happened lately. It was a fairly uneventful episode, but it wasn't dull or boring, and I think the direction played a huge part in it. Watching Leon slowly but surely getting back on his feet after his phase of depression was extremely satisfying. I also really liked the relationship he built with the members of the family, especially Lara.
If she was a little bit older I'd be shipping her with Leon so hard.
The family better not turn into a big Horror-bait type of plot device to push Leon into the Makai world again (though I'm afraid it's exactly how it's gonna go).

If he leaves, I want it to be by his own choice, not because he has to.

LMAO Leon really jumped.
Dude, its your moms funeral. Don't make this about you. You didn't even close the casket before you start yapping your mouth.
The first nipples in the show and it comes from a Horror. smh
Let her take your clothes off.
Dat Octavia.

Lara's voice is annoying. Down side is that she might end up with Leon meaning she becomes a recurring character, which was made obvious since she's in the OP/ED theme. smh Also, the woman who saved German is also in the ED so he might be getting a new woman. Who knows.

I prefer the 1st OP and ED. GAROOOO!

I see Leon taken liking to the humble life, he seems happy and changed with Lara.

I guess no fighting Horrors for him anytime soon. It looks like that's Alfonso's job now.

His father has ditched him too.

Look, I get that this is Leon's redemption story. He's going to start from scratch, learn who he is and what he values. He's probably going to save this family from a horror, and that will be his re-awakening. But some of these scenes are just so dumb (the girl barging in and stripping him? Give me a break)

Nobody finds it odd that Mendoza's assistant is still employed at the castle? Smh, how convenient

With all this power and responsibility, is Alfonso going to lose control of his armor at some point, too?

Good on Roberto and laundry lady

I've seen too much anime to know where this is going. Alfonso is going to slip up badly at some point and the farmer family is going to get hurt too. Leon will step up just as Alfonso falls and boom Mendoza comes back, just in time to get his whooped by the new and improved Leon while everyone stands back and watches everything end in a climatic explosion.

I'll be very surprised to see if this isn't what's going to happen.

Madoka Aiba the voice actress behind Lara is the best i;ve ever heard. Her voice is very clean, calm, soothing, adorable and fit the character just naturally perfect. Half way thru ep13 im already in love with both Lara and Madoka.
