Review of Garo

And with that I mean that this show is terrible like the formers and, like the latter, it has nothing remarkably for "adults" or even "teenagers", unless you think the concept of being for "adults" amounts to nothing more than a couple of nipple shots that you can easily find in other medias like animes. It's the same stuff of all the other tokusatsus about a superhero protecting dreams etc. Just with worse choreographed fights, worse chara (which is absolutely incredible considering the pedegree of the director), ridicolous pretentiousness upped to over 9000 thanks to the clear-as-day uberlow bugdet (couldn't Amemiya go, for a more robust budget, to the same people that produced Tekkoku Mikazuki five years before this?) and CGI effects that are as laughable as it can get. And these are the SUPPOSED tokusatsus for adults, tokusatsus that make the previous work of Amemiya himself in Choujin Sentai Jetman alone look like a slasher franchise! The only useful thing this dreck has going for it is that the suspicions the mediocre Mechanical Violator Hakaider movie and the terrible Lion G-Maru Reboot aroused in me about the Amemiya/Inoue duo (meaning that the reason for it working so well are mainly on the Inoue part and less on the Amemiya one, being the latter so pathetically weak when left to his own devices) find a confirmation. Avoid at all costs unless you want to experience a self-parody that isn't remotely funny to begin with.

Edit: apparently the script of this crap was written by the same hack (Yujii Kobayashi) who wrote the terrible, totally unprofessional and amateurish to the level of being insulting for amateurs episodes 17-20 of the unwatchable Smile Pretty Cure series and the main writer of the Sailor Moon Crystal remake fiasco, which explains a lot. Still, the faults of Amemiya in the effects and chara department are inexcusable nonetheless.
