| According to the Garo Project Official Blog, the midnight tokusatsu show "Garo" will be receiving a TV anime series. More information will be announced at later time. Garo is a tokusatsu show that "focuses on the life of Kouga Saejima, who has assumed the title of Makai Knight to protect humanity against dark demonic manifestations called 'Horrors.' In his quest to purge them, he encounters a young girl named Kaoru whom he saves from a Horror, but learns that she is stained with its demonic blood. As a rule, those that have been stained by the blood of a Horror shall be cut down, or else they will die painfully in approximately 100 days. Kouga spares Kaoru and tries to find a way to purify her before her remaining time expires. Thus, the series focuses on Kouga's developing relationship with Kaoru and his stand in protecting humanity in accordance with the wishes of his father, the previous Garo. In the process, encountering another Makai Knight named Rei Suzumura who eventually becomes his ally, Kouga confronts his father's former disciple who is also the cause of a recent string of Horror attacks in preparation of a more sinister advent of the Horrors' originator, Messiah." (Source: Wikipedia) Tokusatsu, which translates as "special filming," is a Japanese live-action genre that uses special effects. Examples of tokusatsu are hero shows that air in the mornings like Kamen Riders, Super Sentais, Ultraman (TV series usually targeted at kids), and Godzilla (films). (More information on Wikipedia.)

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| AWWWW YEAH |
 |
| Sounds awesome, Samurai Flamenco has been likened to Tokusatsu shows so I'm optimistic that I'll enjoy this one too. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| like the plot. Will watch. |
 |
| The story looks promising, I'll see what it looks like. |
| Awesome news! Garo is the only tokusatsu that I like. |
 |
| Watched a couple episodes of the show a couple of years ago, sounds interesting. I wonder what the suits will look like though. |
     Short of the day: Monotonous Purgatory(MAL) ✰Public Domain Club | One Piece Club✰ |
| Gonna watch it! |
 |
| Yes, this is good news. For people interested, the live action OP3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbcPHvLvNJ4 |

bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| I don't know if they are going to keep the same suits. But here are some of the original ones: http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/122/9/5/tama9_maki_ryuga_p_by_pikomanuel-d63tj7q.jpg http://henshinjustice.com/hjublog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/zeroreturns.jpg http://i.imgur.com/B4ASi.jpg GARO is a cornerstone of the "adult tokusatsu" genre. It's not perfect but it does give some refreshing results. |

|
| Sounds extremely interesting, maybe I'll check out the tokusatsu. |
 |
| Well I'm tired of Power Ranger and Ultraman that still playing on my country so this is nice change of pace. They also airing Kamen Rider Den-O and Kiva but I know it too late and several episode have passed before I know. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Sounds interesting. I've never heard of the live-action but I'll be looking forward to this one. |
| I wanna give this tokusatsu a try, but I have trouble trying to finding torrents, but with this upcoming adaption, hopefully the live action stuff will be uploaded to BakaBT. |

Aesir is the group subbing the series, they're up on nyaa. |

| Will watch only if it proves to be for adults ^^ |

zellami said: For adults, what is that even supposed to mean?Will watch only if it proves to be for adults ^^ I guess you could say Garo punches a bit above it's weight for a tokusatsu and it may be a bit adult themed, but if you're looking for something more along the lines of pseudo-intellectuality then it's definately not for you. You might wanna check out the toku itself, it's one of the few shows where the actors actually have to do a bit of stunt work. |

They also have the most seeders and good trackers. There are just no equivalent. Highly suggested for anyone who wants to get into tokusatsu. |

| Re: Houndtwo It means if it's something like Tentai Senhi Sunred or Samurai Flamenco. Or Chassern Sins. Something like very much those pseudo-intellectual anime. Usually, I check all anime b/w 0-3 episodes, me writing here means I hope to be something I will enjoy. If I don't care, I won't even bother. Anyway, if they pick to animate a tokusatsu, I wish to be good and wish to be different in a good way. That's all. |
| Hmm not sure about that but it looked okay, but the synopsis kinda spoiled the first few episodes I think? Will give it a try when it airs, hope that it'll be at least decent. |

| Oh.my.god. I can't believe it xD I remember I watched the live action first season on tv on 2007... Wait, 6 freaking years have already passed?! Really? xD Anyway, yes, the show was definitely toku. I never expected it to become an anime xD I'm really looking forward to it! |

| screenshots reminds me of Karas |
| Japanese superhero shows are always funny XD |
| Holy shit, I like that premise. Definitely will check out in the future~ |
 |
| It is a very popular tokusatsu franchise watched more by teenagers and adults than kids. It is having a live-action movie coming and the 4th season of the show is coming too. A tokusatsu show getting animated is quite rare so it is quite significant news. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
symbv said: It is a very popular tokusatsu franchise watched more by teenagers and adults than kids. This is a late-night tokusatsu so kids can't really watch it without recording. Also, there is nudity and gore to some extent. I used to joke about how every season the first episode must show tits and the last boss is always a giant nude lady. |

| ^ Precisely, to be honest, even the tokusatsu show aired in daytime is watched more and more by adults (in fact by women because of those ikemen). The notion that tokusatsu show must be kids show is so outdated these days. |

phoenixalia said: I would say men, because there is quite a bit of gore and fan service for guys but still women watch it because of the ikemen cast :-DSymbv, is this tokusatsu show more popular with men or women? I'm just curious. |
