| Female protagonist, eh? Interesting. I will miss Leon and Alfonso though. Also Maruyama, get on that Pluto adaptation you've always dreamed of! Get it funded somehow! You're reaching up there in age, I don't want you to die yet before completing your life's dream, man. ;_; |
| WHY, MAPPA WHY, MASTER MASAO WATARYUDOINGREMY PPLZ NED MOR TIKYOO DEN GAHRAW |
| Exciting. Hope this will be a 2 cour... |
 |
| ily Mappa Was hoping for same cast, but could be fine too. |
 |
| My body is ready. Nice to have something to look forward to in the Fall season. |
 |
| will watch |
| :3 |
| Seems like a series I might have to look into. |
 |
female protagonist referring to last season's female main or a new character? |
 |
| Great news! I expect the female protagonist to be a badass character. |

| It would have been nice to see a continuation of last season's story, but this sounds interesting. We'll get to see an ancient Japanese setting compared to last season's medieval European setting. I enjoyed season 1 way more than I thought I would so I can't wait for this. Now to (im)patiently wait for the announcement of when season 2 of Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis will air........................ |

| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |

|
| Nice looking forward to see what direction they go with this |
| MAPPA gonna end up bankrupt like madhouse if they continue making flops and giving flops second seasons |
| The first season is on my PTW for a while now ... i should give it a shot soon. |
 |
| Huh, so Herman's kid will be a girl maybe? Or will the second season not be related to the first one? In any case, definitely looking forward to see this; Emma is the only capable (in terms of fighting) female character in this series, one more wouldn't hurt. |
 |
| I get the feeling it'll more or less be standalone, with maybe a couple of cameos from the first season. |
 |
| S-so we won't be able to see anymore my bby Leon and Alfonso? Still hyped for this cause GAROOOOOOOOOOOOOO OP with JAM Project yelling the title please |
 |
| So hyped for this. I loved the first season, came to me as a complete surprise. Didn't expect anything from the anime and was thoroughly impressed. |
 |
| Yeshh!! Wait female protagonist?? So maybe timeskip? |
| I should repick the series before second season starts. Now all that's left is Bahamut. |
 |
| I wasn't too thrilled with the later half of season 1, and now they're going for a female wielder of Garo? And in some pre-historic period to boot? No, I don't like the sound of it... |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| Figured it would come in the Autumn, but I'm kinda disappointed that it isn't going to follow the same characters as the first season. Oh well, maybe it could be more interesting like this? Either way, hopefully it'll be 2-cour again. |
| I guess I have to watch garo now. |
| I didn't watch the first season so yeah... |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| Meh, I prefer to see 2nd season of Akatsuki no Yona Garo is not bad but there are many better anime out their that deserve 2nd seaosn |
| eehhhh female character? :( I'll miss Leon. Well i'll give it a try. |
 |
| ill miss leon but his story ended so perfectly for me that im content with it, hoping this new protagonist will have even half as powerful character development as leon did. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Just like the live action show, the GARO anime switches around with settings and protagonists. Very nice. |
| Female protagonist huh? Interesting. Still need to watch the first anime series. Heard great things about it. |
 |
| at last a show to look forward to, not actually a new title though. 2015 sucks so far. |

| I don't know how i feel about a female protagonist yet but anyways i can't wait! ^^ |
 |
| wow..the 1st season was satisfying and also knew that it would be continued very soon...and female mc is also interesting..looking forward also to it's movie |
XYZMetaldragon said: A female protagonist will be interesting. I doubt that she can have Makai Armor because according to the live action series only males can have Makai Armor. Maybe she'll be a Makai Priest? I can only guess. Nevertheless, I'm still hyped for a Season 2 of GARO. They probably retconned that. The live action series also had a time limit on the armor, but that didn't seem to be an issue in the anime. |

| http://garo-project.jp/ANIME2/ nice staff. though it's a pretty bold move to let Wakabayashi direct the new series. I mean, the stuff he has done on Naruto is rather infamous among anime fans just look at his crazy Naruto vs Pain episode.. |
Bacardi-x-Cola said: Will we see more Leon x Emma tho? dont start copying my "tho~" haha |
| if & when they do another season i want Leon story to continue i want to Know does he hook up with Emma cause it was clear ha has a thing for her, i see so much stories with same age ppl hooking up i like to see for a change mc getting it on with a bit older woman then he, thats one thing i liked in Shakugan No Shana MC friend had a thing for Margery who looked like mid 20 & with glasses mid 30, its refreshing to see that |
i want to see it as well |
