PREMISE

In a post-apocalyptic America, Sword is the latest Makai Knight, who uses his magical power-suit transformation to protect Russel City from posessed Humans, known as Horrors. Sword teams up with an orphan girl, Sophie, who is searching for her disappeared brother—and together they take an investigative motorcycle road trip to the technological utopian city of El Dorado, meeting and fighting other Makai entities along the way.

LIKED!

Soundtrack

Action Sequences were well-animated

Stylish, high contrast animation

Main character has a sentient motorcycle sidekick

DISLIKED...

–

a few slow / filler episodes in the back half

OTHER THOUGHTS

•

pacing & animation lost quality in the last few episodes

•

this is the 3rd title in the "Garo: The Animation" series, but has no direct continuity from its prior entries

CLOSING REMARKS

Garo: Vanishing Line is watchable for its style and plot, not so much any characer drama. The good animation, interesting dystopian world, and music make it pleasant.

Garo: Vanishing Line – 7/10
