Garo Makai No Hana episode 1 review

I don't quite understand Garo, being from the US, but there are a lot of cool visuals.
It's like a silent film, black and white, little chit chat.

The costumes and relic designs are meant to be watched to unearth more about the show.

The blade to the statue was interesting and quite Eastern.

I dunno what I think of the talking ring.

The fish eater effect was very good, both the beast-like devouring of it and the growing of the fish.

The dude also has a bit of Parasyte involved.

It's also a bit ironic that a human in human clothes can be more convincingly shown as a fish demon that someone with makeup and prosthetics. A bit of youkai must be a factor.

The ending Gold Garo Knight classic form vs the fish demon has really good costume design in addition to special effects that tell an intricate story on their own.

It's a good James Bond/Indiana Jones intro to the show, introducing the Horrors without using dialogue as seen in the next episode.
