| well the first episode was toots what was that |
 |
| This show is interesting although I already see a lot of things I'm not a fan of. The shaky camera during action sequences and the bad CG stand out the most. That being said it was exciting. |
| For tastes, the prsons, but the series was a little.... |
| Loving it so far, they need to tone done the shaky cam during the action scenes though. The MC is a nice change of pace. A manly as fuck MC instead of the usual spineless cuck MCs that are the norm in anime. Setting is nice too, Honoo no Kokuin took place in what was essentially fantasy Spain and this seems to be taking place in America. |
| Having not watched the other entries but being told i can watch anyways since they are all separate i went ahead and started this one for now and will get around to the others (first series especially as i heard it's really good) and i enjoyed this so far, looks promising for sure and my god i want a steak that freaking huge lmao! |
No drop crew, Loyal husband, sadomasochist, H&E bully, AWC fan. Click sig for n00dz!  |
| That was pretty good, hyped to watch more. The sound and visual effects were a bit overdone, I hope they get a handle on that in future episodes. |
 |
| That was actually pretty awesome.. way better than I expected. Wee~~ |
 |
| A lot of fun. Hot women, badass dude, KugiRie, and excellent MAPPA animation. What's not to like, really? Let's just hope this is a good Garo anime, unlike the second series. *shudders* |
| Tits. Tits everywhere. Even a titty monster appeared. Nice. |
 |
| Cool action. That's how Garo should be. The previous two were so lacking there. Especially Guren no Tsuki. |
  |
| Holy shit was that good. I love the main guy already. God bless MAPPA! I can't wait for the inevitable dub too - this looks like just the type of show that deserves one. |
| No other words than how awesome and neat this episode was. Sword is one badass character already! Never watched the other Garo series, but I think I'll definitely enjoy this one for sure! Great start so far in my opinion. |
  |
| HOLY SHIT THAT WAS FUCKING INSANE THIS IS WHAT EVERY MAN WANTS TO SEE |
 |
| the opening overall was ok, but at the start and ed of the song where it goes: woooooooo is fucking sick |
|
| That was a really cool start! The designs, the atmosphere, the music...good stuff. We got off to a relatively clean start story-wise too- these two people are looking for "Eldorado", whatever the hell that is and it looks like they'll be crossing paths again for sure. The Horrors are interesting, but still pretty straight forward (like shape shifting ghouls) and I like the whole 'motorbike merges with man to make a quasi-transformer mech warrior' concept XD Only thing I'm worried about is that MAPPA are behind this and the running trend with them lately is having anime with really strong starts, only to crash and burn half way through. Hopefully it doesn't become a trend :/ Oh and gg that poor guy who was just driving home from a long day at the office. |

| Good action. Good music. If the action keeps up, it might be worth watching. |
  |
| Good start though no fucking idea of what happens, but I have faith in this show. |
 |
| Don't know if I like it, I'll give it another episode or two but so far, not much appeal to me. There's a lot of action but the over-excessive camera movement is annoying to me. |
Gintama > One Piece = Naruto > Bleach > DBZ Nyanko Big is my spirit animal. |
| I agree with most people here. This was the best Garo debut. It just has so much style and edginess to it. The whole feeling of "cool" and "awesome" was executed perfectly. The soundtrack and design were so on point. I'm in love with the new setting as well. It's exactly the aesthetic that I enjoy. It just blew my expectations out of the water! JAM Project opening is another thing that made me look forward to new Garo anime. I liked the previous ones better, but maybe the full version of this one will convince me :D Also, Sword is gar as fuck and I am living for it. Found my new obsessions this season <3 |
 |
| never expected this level of testosterone filled awesomeness fucking hell yeah please more 80s/90s pulp like this |
| Objectivity doesn't exist. Subjectivity is an excuse. Beautiful world of online discourse. |
| Talk about hardcore! Man Sword is so METAL. |

| Our Garo MC "Sword" this time is insanely strong! (our MC just looks like Nero Vanetti from 91 days but in big ripped body!) awesome OP by JAM Project!!! The animations is superb and great OST as well! great to see Zaruba as well! just look at how he transforms with his big damn cool ass bike! very stylish when he uses his sword to circle slide with his bike then transforms! DAMN! 5/5. |
 |
| My first anime to ever not continue based on camera work alone. The shaking during every action scene makes me sick. The action is hard to follow because the earthquake level shaking and nobody wants to follow it because it hurts your eyes. |
| no |
| Shaky camera was bit excessive but this was pretty BADASS |
 |
| Those fights were awesome! The animation is top notch, still I don't get why they need to use those CGI armors, I know this is Garo but are those armors that popular in Japan? In my opinion the slug-fests were way more cool and interesting... Oh I don't mind shaky camera but that much is a no go, seems like they are intentionally trying to throw off our focus. |
| Man the massive amounts of cutting and the shaking during the action scenes almost made me pass out. But besides that it seems really good |
| That was pretty good even though I can't keep-up on some of shaky-cam battle. They really put effort on this first episode. |
 |
| I've actually found that once you turn subtitles off the shakiness isnt particularly bad aside from the very first fight, kind of a shame non native speakers get fucked in this regard, Still could do with less shaking |

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 |
| How did MAPPA even find the budget for this? I know the CG use probably saves some money but damn, 5 (probably soon to be 6 with Inuyashiki) cours worth of other above-average-looking shows this year and then they deliver this ambitious and sharp-looking premier which is almost half insane action spectacle. I made the mistake of watching this on a low-brightness smartphone screen while super tired. I rewatched it while fully alert on higher brightness and had way more fun because I could actually follow the crazy-fast high-octane, high-impact action. Could do with just slightly less camera shaking as it distracts from the surprisingly decent choreography for such spectacle-driven action. Still had a blast! |

| Can't decide if this episode was cool or totally dorky. I kind of liked it, but I like lame stuff too :p At the very least, the OP sounded like a poor man's one man punch OP. I know it's the same group, but it just seemed like a sad copy. I think I'll keep watching. Something about the throwback feel makes me smile. |
| totally enjoyable to watch. the animation is funky and cool that makes me want to watch more. don't know about the plot, but we'll see what happens in later episodes. |
 |
| Two talking motorcycle shows this season? |
| If they remove the shacky action scene. This will be the best action animated show this year( if they are consistent of course). OST is spot on. I really love the 1 frame cutout they did on the bike chase. Gave me super big "WOW" out of my mouth. Is it the time for Korean director to direct anime this era? |
