GARO: Season 9

NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' 'BOUT!
Super-thrash, super-melodramatic, super-idiotic insanity, in which there is almost nothing even from Tokusatsu - just a collection of cliches about the royal battle and VRMMO, a COMPLETELY different series compared to all previous seasons, but at the same time inhumanly funny and watchable. It doesn't surprise me at all that I've seen so many reviews that Versus Road is shit. It's really shit, but it's absolutely CARBON MONOXIDE shit with surprisingly evil hand-to-hand combat with a bunch of wrestling shots, quite antiheroic characters of varying degrees of filthiness and memes about WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY. It's basically as meaningless as the rest of Garo, but it's much less boring *outside of "fights," because they've put all the emphasis on, ahem, the "ent" of the dreariest urban fantasy of previous seasons. Huge respect for such an attempt to do something different from the previous material, and I am more than glad that the year of watching this nonsense ended on some positive note. It's even a pity that the sequel will be a return to one of the old universes again, I don't really hope for anything good there.

Automatic five points for the suplex.
