Lovely episode. Pacing picked up again in action style with the Horror. Not only that but Leon's father returns to do his work. Alfonso's pretty busy this episode as well.

Their opponent was quite strange though. I mean, his eyes and attitude really made him express himself...not even joking. He turned out to be quite ugly. I guess that could also be said the same to how human emotions can influence one into becoming a horror according to the story this episode.

Fate is really playing its game for Emma to meet Leon like that.

Herman and Alfonso meeting under suck circumstance xD That expectation of his uncle lol.

The two legendary knights being horrors, that ceremony of marriage would be quite disgusting. Defeating the two, it was nice to see the guy's love and jumped in like that. It was interesting that many legends can have a darker side to it.

I liked the legend, wasn't expecting Isabelle (i think it was her name) to be a Makai Alchemist. The action scenes were fine.

I'm wondering if Leon will ever be fighting again, he's so used to his lifestyle now. Maybe will happen some tragedy in the future...

Oh wow! I forgot about this show for a bit.
Finally the pacing picked back up, and it looks like Leon is healing well, both mentally and physically.
Looks like they are gonna face some kind of inventor next week?

Leon is a disappointment. I hoped he would want revenge and kill both Alfonso and Herman in the end but instead he's calm and peaceful. One can still hope.

meh, now that the main bad guy is dead this show is looking very episodic, and not in the awesome Samurai Champloo way.

Alfonso is so busy to do his duties as a prince.

The two legendary knights are actually horrors.

Now the question is, when will Alfonso and Leon meet again.
I wonder if a new evil will arise.

Kinda figured Isabelle was a Makai Alchemist when they called her a "Witch" but the knights being Horrors sealed by her was a total surprise.


I know you need the healing time Leon but when is your illusion of peace going to shatter to a million pieces? ._.

Nothing really happened except the usually, killing horrors but that's fine since Garo is never boring.

So they just glossed over the fact that Fana just lost her dad after he was beheaded when he became a Horror. But since she has Mauro, I guess all you need is love right? It seemed like his family was loaded too, so she's set. That dad should have just married her off to him from the start.

At least the bandit issue is resolved on Alfonso's end.

Anfonso better fix the Makai alchemists and knights' honor after being persecuted as witches all this time. He can start by getting his portrait done with him in his Golden Armor, maybe holding the helmet under his arm, and the sword in the other.

^ Ha, ha, yeah, the PR resolves many issues :D

Well, is it me or Herman likes the lady? He went to find her flowers! He - serious, hm, hm? ^^

All I got was that the clouds are gathering over the village where Leon recuperates. We still miss a big bad after Mendoza's disappearance, so maybe this is a build-up for the advent of a new drama.

I'm staring at Emma's legs every fucking time. Nice legs :)

Here we go again with the monster of the week format. The pacing this episode was way too fast. They really tried to fit so much info in one episode & in the end it felt awkward.
The scene where some villagers wanted to tell Alfonso about the bandit but in the end they were chatting about the legend was really weird. It was laughably bad. This episode really reminded me on why I have not been enjoying Garo as much as I would have hoped, & it's because of the awkwardly-written episodic episodes like this. It's so naive of me expecting another well done episode just like the previous episode.
I like anime.

Yeah, this episode was not as good as the previous one. The pacing is too fast - they should've devided it into at least two halfs and build relationships steadily. The very idea is not bad, but with so many things glossed over the whole think was a bit ridiculous.
Tired Alfonso is funny tho.

Yeah, I gotta say, it wasn't as eventful as I hoped. I expected more character growth or another plot to pick up but besides seeing Alfonso start to grow tired of his new duty, it was just a passable standalone episode.

I did like the designs of the horrors as usual, it's probably my highlight of the entire show but I really hope they get to the next part of the plot soon.

Oh well, it was nice to see Ema again though it's weird, the tone of the series has gotten a bit less dark... a shame because it loses some of the great atmosphere it had in the first half. Here's hoping it picks up.

Fun episode.
Something no one noticed, but Herman´s advice to Alfonso about not getting attached gives more insight into how he feels about Anna´s death.

that preview, Lara was blushing and it looked like Leon was naked.
I think what he said about "Lara and I aren't like that" is about to change.

I see what you did there.

Episode without much importance to the development of story, Leon little appeared and the prince's character has not attractive, I hope the anime focus more on Leon ..

This was a good episode. I like the part where Roland and Juste were revealed to be Horrors. That ending kinda feels like it was rushed. That they didn't have anymore ideas to place there.

Hopefully things pick up in the next two or three episodes. Not used to Garo having "arcs" with different villains for different sets of episodes. (not even sure Mendoza is dead, but just a presumption based on these last two episodes). I am however used to slow down time as any show has. Just a matter of time on how long it takes them to get things up and running again. These things hopefully and should only last two, or three episodes.

Well, as long as negative emotions exist, so will horrors.

Leon I think is in a period of re-evaluation of what it takes to be a Makai Knight. All he cared about was revenge when it was about protecting people which is what his father and Alfonso fully understood.

Alfonso is getting easily tired to the duties of a prince to become a king.
Leon, is slowly getting back to the right track. This episode must be like a calm b4 the storm.

Episode that develops a subplot, leaving open the main one, but on balance still is not boring overall, still need to develop the characters and events.
Drawings and animations very good.

Revenge for what? he's the one who fucked up and killed tons of people, not them, and he's perfectly aware of that. Hence why he tried to kill himself. Him slowly getting it together by working in a peaceful farm doesn't mean he doesn't want to get Garo back eventually. But I really don't see why he'd want to kill Alfonso for that, and even less his father.

I expected this episode to be boring, but It was actually impressive.

New characters fight, while Alfonso and German joined the fight.

I miss Leon on the battlefield.

Kind of dull. did we really need Roberto and Alfonso to go there and face those horrors? doesn't seem to me that it did anything for their characters or the overall story

and Alfonso thinks being a prince is too much work? oh no...how awfull...

Slice of life Leon isn't a great story, but it is better than the lily castle story

oh, yea. what is that "being" that everyone goes to talk to about horrors? some kind of oracle? huh? I wonder what Emma is looking for, or who
