Personal comments: My first impression was,"Why was this even considered a kid's show?!" And here's a prove for those who are wrong about tokusatsu series, not all tokusatsu series are childish transforming superheroes anymore. This 1 actually attracts a lot of adult level fans! So, for those "Garo" fans out there, look forward for the movie on October 30, 2010. And This was labelled PG12 in Japan.
