Don't know if any of you like Garo or not, but I have a blast watching it, and really it's done fairly well considering it's a TV show. Anyway, here's some great clips from youtube with Garo vs Mika, and even a little bit of Gouten (I love my Gouten action figure!!!) Enjoy!

Yeah, Mika is pretty hot.. I kind of root for her too, but alas, if Mika won there would be no more Garo.
There's things in Garo that deserve a lot of credit in its innovation and willingness to take chances. The coolest aspect of Garo is that the fight scenes utilize a video game type of sequencing within the action, like it's moving through stages, and by doing this it brings out a very cool intesity that I haven't seen before, or at least not to this degree. A lot of people compare Garo to Sentai or Masked Rider because of the battle style, but it's way more over the top to me, and this is what sets it apart really. Another aspect that is way cool is the 2D graphic elements that float and intertwine between the action and drama. It gives it a funky dreamscape type of feel. Very cool. There's a lot of potpourri from just about every major Hollywood action movie in Garo, and maybe it is overboard and unrefined at times, but I would much rather have Garo as what it is than the other extreme of being over refined and not enough epic in scope.
Oh, and I love the talking jewelry pieces. Bizzarre and cool.

What's funny is that this show made for TV has way better effects than the movies they make here.

Thanks for the heads up! Very cool looking show!

Garo is sort of like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The bad guys and their powers are usually as cool (or even cooler) than the heroes. Here's another video that has some great highlights. The music is maybe a little cheesy, but it has that Highlander/Queen vibe that works for this sort of show.
