| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm, the new OP song is nice. Not sure if I can get use to it yet but it was fitting. First half felt a bit slow with Leon but I thought the atmosphere was still nice. The lack of action brings back a more gentle vibe to the show compared to the climatic moments of the first half. |
 |
| Reminded me a bit of Musashi doing his rice farming, soul searching in Vagabond. Glad Leon is starting to feel better, hopefully nothing will happen to that family taking care of him. Alfonse taking charge in the capitol and getting things back to normal, too bad for the king though, Mendozzas bitch is still taking "care" of him. |

| This was a pretty amazing episode. Leon was a bit depressing at first but it turned out okay. I just really felt like this episode was trying to say that everybody as their tragic story, but to stand up afterwards is its own story. Leon getting to spend time in a farm and slowly starting to work and just function as a normal person. The family is pretty nice to Leon and Leon making the girl blush. Really liked how the family was able to appreciate simplicity. Sigh I might be jinxing it a little, but what event would cause this idle day to end. Perhaps Leon just deciding to leave or perhaps horrors attacking the very house he lives in right now. If the horrors would, it would be quite the dramatic scene... Alfonso is doing great to manage the country and to fight horrors too. Octavia still here though :/ |
 |
| I liked this episode, a lot. Specially because of the new girl, I love when the female characters aren't all useless and can't do anything alone. The new OP and ED were good. I have doubts about what is going to happen. No clichés please. |
| The new ed is sweet. The new op is nice but I prefer the previous one. Leon was down for most of the ep but he started to recover when he started helping and aw at the girl blushing when he told her his name. Idk why but I hope those two end up in a romantic relationship or something like that. Hopefully they don't end up murdered by horros. Meanwhile Alfonso is taking care of the capital and of the horrors and somehow that girl that followed Mendoza is still there and she's going to take care of the king. |
 |
| The young girl of the family...I love meeting secondary characters like this. Personally, it's what made this episode. After a long break Garo is back and I'm glad. The first half was really great and I hope the story progresses in a good direction. Since this will most likely be the rebuilding of Leon...shall see. |
| I'm smelling a death flag on those people taking care of Leon, and oh shit Octavia is still taking care of the king....I smell treachery in her. |
| hope they'll pair Leon and Lara. I like her. |
 |
| I am loving the new OP and ED, they are just as good as the previous ones imo. Its nice to have Garo back with this enjoyable episode. It was nice to see some improvements from Leon. The family he is staying with has definitely had a positive effect on him, especially Lara (they are so cute together). Since Lara was featured on the poster for season 2 hopefully she won't be killed off. As for her family.. I have a really bad feeling something bad is about to happen to them. |

| Well, this episode was fairly slow but nothing terrible. The new OP is fun... but it sounds more like a song you'd find in Lupin than a dark fantasy. Oh well, nothing bad. The new ED I thought was great though. I can see myself watching it on it's own. Not too much happened in this episode besides establishing what happened after the whole Mendoza incident. Alfonso more or less became the ruler of the kingdom while at the same time killing horrors... By the way... this episode's horror... freakin terrifying... like something you'd find in silent hill. Geez it was creepy. Leon is on his path to find himself I guess. He no longer has his old life and has to start from scratch and progressed very nicely throughout the episode. The farmers are pretty nice and Leon progressing into being more or less part of the family was a tad cliche but works given how distant he was from his own father before. Considering this is a dark fantasy though... I don't see this ending very well... Lol I totally forgot about Octavia though. As I watched this I kept thinking to myself, "Okay so... now what?" but I guess it answered my question... Not very eventful but it was fine for what it was. |
| Wow! Loved this episode. Fantastic. It's a fantasy series with a more calming atmosphere, with a really cool art style, beautiful soundtrack and it tends to be more emotional in my eyes. It fits my tastes perfectly. Since the girl, who I think was named Lara from another comment, was in the ED with Leon, I'm hoping she becomes a main character! |

 |
| This was nice. Leon definitely needed the time-out to get back on his feet. It's moving how focused on the Makai fight Leon's world had been; he missed basically everything else. Nice new OP/ED! |
| New OP/ED doesn't have the same spunk. :( Another calm before the storm. :D |
| New OP was okay. I liked the ED though. It's a good thing that Leon survived that. I was expecting a time-skip or just Leon to be out of the picture, but I'm glad that didn't happen. Horrors don't get censored I guess. This feels like a relaxing episode, which is nice after the huge battle. It's nice that they don't go straight into some huge fight. I have a gut feeling that either the Lord or the grandpa are horrors, but going towards the Lord more. |
  |
| I almost cried, very good episode. Please dont let anything bad happen to that family. Well, i think at least Lara lives, she appears in the ED sequence. :3 |
 |
| not a fan of the new OP. boring. Leon all depressed. cant say i blame him. I like the farming family, they have spunk. Too bad im 90% sure something terrible is gonna happen to them. Don't think the prince is ever going to forgive Leon, though he does seem worried about him. After a 2 week break we are greeted with a borefest. But its a very important episode none the less. |

| I feel in love with that family. Can someone recommend me anime like that where a family is just farming trying to survive. Bonus points if the story has stranger that comes to help them out. |

| Oh gawd... I pray that Lara doesn't die. She's the perfect "something to protect" that Leon lacks and Alfonso had which caused Garo to choose Alfonso in the first place. And I am so loving that one scene in the end sequence - Leon dressed in white protecting Lara? Remember that Leon has been wearing black the whole first half of the series so him changing his wardrobe to white must symbolize well...something cliche but I don't care! I can't wait for it to happen! |

| Liked the old OP better. But the new ED is awesome. The soundtrack playing through this episode is really nice. Sets for a relaxing mood. Like the family too, hope nothing bad happens to them :( |
 |
| This is continuing to be a pretty solid anime. OP is alright but the ED is great once again. Leon really needs to find purpose and for now he has one. I really don't think Lara will be killed off, but as for her family... |

| oh man i loved this episode, im adoring the directing this is heading in and leon is evoking one of my all time favorite types of character development wiht the likes of luke from tales of the abyss(game the anime blows), a character who was hot headed and too self centered that makes a horrible mistake that takes away everything he once had as well as coming face to face with the damage it does to those around him and countless innocents, they wont forgive themselves for what they have done but they will strive to be a better person in the honor of the lives thye cut short. I seriously love this type of thing and its so rare that it happens that im dying to see more of where it goes I really like the new girl, the cover art for the 2nd half as well as the ED looks lik it confirms shes gonna be a main character from here on out which im all for, though as others have said her family is essentially impending their doom. Though hopefully come a little bit down the line there will be enough reason to list her as a main character on here Cannot wait to see where this show goes. |

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 |
| While this hasn't been one of the best series I've seen, it continues to keep me interested and even guessing in some ways. The way the first half ended kind of put me off at first, but this episode renewed my interest once again. The entire episode was like a big neon flashing sign saying "something horrible is going to happen to this farm!" I hope the appearance of Lara in the ED means that I'm wrong, or at least that she will survive, but I kind of doubt it. It seems that while he may spend some time with this family to get his priorities straight and learn what it means to really be human and protect those you love, that it cannot end well for the family. Something is going to have to happen to get him back in the game, and that usually entails the death of loved ones. I'm not really a fan of Alfonso, I just don't like him. His attitude has improved, and he's doing well getting the country back on track. I'll give him that, but as a character he just doesn't feel right to me. The preview showed Alchemist lady with Leon, I kind of took that as a bad omen. I hope I'm wrong. |
| Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me. |
| I like more the new ending than the new OP. The episode was nice. Leon is recovery yourself and slowly but it's okay... I hope he can get away his feelings about is armor... :) |

| Terrible OP but good comeback episode. |
 |
| I feel like that girl will die and be a way for leon to bounce back from his depression. |
| not so much fan of the new op or ed, but I liked the ep. Not every ep should be fulled with action. Anyways, it began on a new arc so a quiet and more peaceful ep were the best to start a new arc, though I expected i would see the wolves that killed Lara's father (I have a feeling they are horrors). they must come with a reason that Leon can once again become a Makai night and with a horror in the picture he can achieve it. And yes, I ship Lara x Leon too. ^_^ |
 |
| I feel kinda meh about this episode. The previous op was better, the ed I like it. However, I still like Alfonso more than Léon, as he feels more mature and interesting character. I hope they won't turn him to be the villian. EDIT; I still don't like that up and downs in their voices when they charge, that aAaAaAa, it just makes me laugh and it looks stupid to me. xD |

| I have bad feelings about what will happen with that family. Great episode anyway. I love the new ED. |
 |
| A nice & calm episode. I did not expect this kind of episode in Garo, but hey it was actually really good. And just with this one episode, they managed to make me care about every single person in "Leon's new family."(unfortunately, I still do not care about Leon) Good job. Was it just me, or the cinematography in this episode was really different & noticeably better compared to the past episodes? By the way, I am surprised on how people dislike the new OP. Yeah, it's a bit unfitting to the overall atmosphere of the show, but to say it's terrible? |

| I like anime. |
| Leon taking refuge in a farm with good people. Alfonso taking all the responsibility after that incident. Some harm is gonna come to the king since that woman who was with Mendoza is still there undetected of her contribution to his schemes. Will Leon ever get the Garo Armor back? It's still a blur and quite not possible given the situation he's in. |
CreamZi said: Some harm is gonna come to the king since that woman who was with Mendoza is still there undetected of her contribution to his schemes. That's one thing that I am confused of. How come no one knows that she used(or maybe she still is?) to be Mendoza's loyal assistant? Like, really? I found that to be pretty weird. |
| I like anime. |
| Start long-awaited, although there are no twists or engaging action sequences, the episode is enjoyable to follow. Narration slow but presents us with a return to normal good. The OST is fabulous and the designs are not bad quality. For now I am satisfied. Demonarion said: The new ed is sweet. The new op is nice but I prefer the previous one. Ditto. |
 |
| Oh a pretty good episode, it's nice to see Leon feel better. I like this kind of episode where the main character is lost and tries to find a new motivation. |
| Nice, relaxing episode, in a way. Thought the old man was suspicious, but apparently, he isn't. Hopefully Lara doesn't get killed off. |
 |
| So, finally he'll be a likeable MC I hope he wifed that new girl and don't let her life becoming a tragedy |

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. I like the new OP more. It's more boring and simple, but the devlopment of Leon from fetus to adult was a bit embarrassing to watch in the previous one. The new ED is good. |
