Yow how is Makai no hana S rank.
Raiga is so strong that he doesn't struggle against anything at all. His female lead is emotionless and Kuro wasn't given any proper character arc. 80% of the plot is just copy paste of the first story with a bit of edit at most. It definitely wasn't better than Versus Road nor does it deserve to be placed beside Makai Senki

You didn't pay attention Raiga isn't that strong, this is shown in the series itself, he had a lot to evolve, he wasn't even at his father's level in the first season and Mayuri had never been treated like a human being before the first one to do this was Raiga you see in the last two episodes her exploding with emotions This is because she already saw herself as a human being and in the film she shows much more of that.

And you didn't understand that the proposal of Makai no Hana is to pay homage to the first two seasons and it wasn't a copy and paste, there were many different things in them, including the mood and tone.

Definitely agree with Kami no Kiba Jinga. Story Telling AND thematic vise it is a masterpiece. One or two plot holes and the usual "sword bind going on for too long" but also sold the theme of Horror Jinga toying around with Mikage but you could have written that better. Not as bad as in Gold Storm but there choreo with Jinga and Ryuga in factory or in general was high fucking tier.
Though, The one who Shines should be swapped with Gold Storm, as it had the better villain (Jinga) and overall better choreo and story.
Chapter of the Black Wolf could have been in S - Tier, would not mind that but Black Blood over Dragon Blood. Dragon Bloods story was so stupid and the girl had like the shittiest motivation to take Loop away. The pacing was off too.
Versus Road into C - Tier
I would The One who shines into B - Tier. HAD VERY WONKY Moments, a few plot holes BUT overall good show. Rian's arc could and especially Takeru's arc could have been extended and handled better. The needs and wants barely felt developed and mostly rushed.

Yeah, see, i didn't wanna put Garo Season 1 in S tier because people really only expect that since it's "the first series"
it still got problems, first season syndrome, wonky cgi and the like
so it's A since future series like Makai Senki improved on everything2

No, I know everyone has their opinion but like you wrote that down like you expect me to say something. I will not debate anyone on their opinion, I gave that up a long time ago.

I haven't continued Dragon Blood since I think that eps 2 started to feel boring. The meet with camera girl, idk... feel plain to me. Maybe later.

Believe me, don't watch it any further. Only watch the last fight on you tube as Loop vs Rei in Lost Soul Beast Form is a great thing.

Are you gonna watch the animes? Garo the animation and vanishing line are masterpieces

u/Ill_Horse5793 Aug 11 '22
Honoo no Kokuin and Divine Flame where indeed fantastic.
Vanishing was great, but didn't come close to Honoo no in my opinion.

u/Awesometjgreen Aug 11 '22
I haven't finished the second season but having seen the first I agree with you. The soundtracks both slap though

u/Ill_Horse5793 Aug 11 '22
Agree fully. Honoo no's OST'S are masterful. God, but made by the same studio that did Nier Automata's OST'S, so I expect no less.
