Wow, and I thought the monsters/Horrors in this series were horrid before. This episode really showed some of the more even fierce monstrosity when Mendoza summoned them..

Glad to see Hermon making his damn mind this episode as well. Knew he wouldn't try to solely join with the Mendoza. Pretty decent action overall. Ema was also a certain kind of awesome.

I guess I have underestimated Herman's ability to carry out his beliefs, it was nice to see it though. Herman managing to take Mendoza's arm and holding his ground.

Leon, Emma, and Alfonso breaking through all the seals, seeing more of the magic of the world.

The soundtrack this episode really stood out at the end. Octavia ready to fight the three... the music really made the wait harder.

Shit! Mendoza was really nasty!, So those bloods were actually from Makai Knight and Makai Alchemist.
And even including their souls to be feed the monster Anima? For some reason it looked like a brick game!
Herman Luis was so cool! And that Father & Son relationship was cool too!! And most of all MAPPA for best Anime Studio this year!!! (or last year?)
That Octavia just passing by on Herman though. Well he somewhat saved her anyway and he's weak for her.
And now the question is, Was he dead now? He must be alive because that Wolf Makai Knight Zorro won't be killed by just a mere Horrors.
Just 2 episodes left. But oh well I guess I doesn't have a choice but to just wait for the next episode next week!
Haters always gonna hate.

The transition between Herman last episode and this episode ready to stop Mendooza and Garm felt a bit odd.

Octavia became a level 3 akuma.

Mendoza playing Tetris....
Herman's real intentions revealed, however it seems unlikely that he will survive.
Somehow Leon and the others end up in the future, but came back... WTF

Friggin Herman! I really hope he doesn't die. He was absolutely BA this ep. Loved the ending with his speech. Zoro too BOSS :3

WTF was up with those fang nipples on Octavia XD That's a nasty looking transformation there ^^;

A lot of... weird stuff this week. xD

I did like how the witch hunt at the beginning of the series wasn't just a slaughter but also Mendoza's plan to use them all to help himself become immortal. Ties this arc more to the first one.

The action this week though was well... weak... Not much for choreography, just basic slashes and energy blasts that didn't feel like they had much weight to them. Unfortunate because the action aspect was a big part of this episode, oh well.

Okay... so... is this world somehow the future? Or was the illusion just weirdly accurate to our modern cities? I am so confused at this point. They have flying mecha bombs, sniper rifles and now they have illusions that make the world turn into a modern city. What is the setting of this show? xD

Finally... *sigh* Octavia.... *sigh*.... really guys? THAT'S the design you went for one of the last major horrors of this season? REALLY!? I broke out laughing whenever she came on screen... Spike nipples... I can't take that seriously at all... That's like something you'd find in Cutie Honey, not a serious dark fantasy. The show has such awesome designs for their horrors(Excluding the minor ones) and this is one of the last ones you are going out on? Laaaaame.

Still, it seems as though this will easily be wrapped up in 2 episodes, that's all they really need I think. Other than the action being mediocre and some confusing things that make me wonder what the setting of the show actually is, it was a good episode overall.

Herman was so badass. He is the best character in this show.

The modern city dimension was weird. Is it supposed to mean something? Something Mendoza imagined?

Octavia looks hideous.

Herman was pure awesome. Finally fighting against Mendoza and his lackeys. Octavia became weird as a Horror. About time Leon, Alfonso and Emma step in. They should just team up against all of them and prevent the revival of Anima.

Looks like Herman has been picking up his own death flags and using them as weapons.
Lots of set up, and a whole lot of yelling this episode.
Next episode likely a lot of talk. and a little more action.

I am guessing that Octavia was also an apprentice of Mendoza in the Makai Arts. I think the relationship between Leon and Herman is now full circle for Herman, but needs to be full circle for Leon.

I'll give this show the benefit of doubt and hoope it won't crash and burn in the end cause this is a potential AOTY for me at least

Decent episode nothing much happens narrative speaking as much as the earlier episodes. What can I say lets hope for the best for the finale.

I thought that German would not pass this episode, as I do not like him do not care if he did not resist the next

Well, I hope good fights of Alfonso and Leon, but I think Mendoza still will cause many problems, do not know if this season will have a good end ..

Damn the action were nice in this ep. German were epic and the fights were pretty good too.

Hahah, Mendoza is cool, evil and cruel. I like that guy. I hope he dies in a epic way because the evil have to die. That's so typical, so I think it will occur in this series too.

I wonder how they will end this season and I wonder when the next season will air? Does anyone know? ^^

I do not think I can watch this until the end even though it has 2 episodes left. I have had enough of Garo & its sloppy writing quality. I am sorry, Garo. At least I have tried.

Fiction stupid logic: enemies always attack one by one(because they're too dumb to encircle an enemy), everyone can be saved, because fuck evacuating the bloody city, because the heroes are there to save the day. I thought this anime redeemed itself a couple episodes back, but, nope, that is not the case.
(The amount of the word *because is too damn high.)
And Anima looks like the that God creature from Mononoke Hime.

Wow. They had to go full retard... If you have to send them to another dimension then choose something more fitting than our century -.- This could have ended without shit like this. We were so close to it. And Herman really should have cut down that girl.

its a reference to the parent series this was based off of. This anime is the only garo that takes place in such a setting while the others are in modern times

Episode that shows no unexpected plot twist, his utlità is to bring the story forward is to set the stage for a final showdown.
Narration reluctant to give extreme emotions, at least I have not tried anything.
Plot that shows the true intentions of Herman, now remain to be discovered those of Garm. Octavia increasingly important as a pawn in the battle between good and evil, who knows if it will come out unscathed or will pay just the price to be faithful to Mendoza.
Drawings with ups and downs, CG remains a good standard. Scenarios inconspicuous this time, a shame.

I can't say I'm really enjoying this that much. It's all cool, but I want it all to end soon. Before when Leon was getting a lot of character developments I was on the edge of my seat but now I just don't really care for much of this. Bringing Mendoza back is kinda eh to me. And the last few episodes have made me dislike German even more...

Ultimate Tetris of Death is finally complete.

I'm usually not a fan of pointless sexualisation, but I'm honestly really digging Octavia's final form and how much it fits her character and respects her original design while still managing to make her look threatening: she reminds me of a mix between a xenomorph and an Abyssal from Claymore.

Okay, their is some weird stuff in this episode. Like how the hell doe Mendoza have models of modern day city's to trap the Leon and the rest within that dimension things? Also Am I the only one get's the impression that the design of the Mendoza's evil underground lair seems kind of biomechanical, with the hand print scanner to open doors that Herman used by chopping it off Mendoza? Was starting to think the twist was going to be the Horror were Aliens or something studied like that. Thank God doesn't seem to be the case.
