Girls' Bedrooms in Sapphire Lake Dorm

Isolabella Tsukii

-This girl gives me a vibe that she likes rooms that is near a forest

-This girl is a bookworm so you can see a cellar door that leads to the underground library where her bed is

-She also loves to watch the rain while drinking a cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate

-This room is always clean by her and gives off a mature and aesthetic vibes to them.

-If you do not see her anywhere in NRC, she is in her underground library

-You will hear a soft relaxing cafe jazz music and the smell of tea or coffee in the air(she always drinks very sweet tea or coffee do not judge her)

Jeanne Keket

-A purple magical starry bedroom fits Jeanne very well due to her love for purple and the stars

-Behind the full mirror is a hidden part of her room where Jeanne can relax by herself with her thoughts to her

-You might see the others checking in on her from time to time while giving her something to drink and eat

-You also might see Tsukii or Dawn give Jeanne a book to read

-You will smell of fall in the background

-Magical aesthetic music is also played in the background

Nightshade Libya

-As Nightshade is the puppeteer herself, giving her a doll like vibe room will be perfect her but instead of all white some of it is different shades of blue

-On the right is where Night dance with her puppets and dolls

-You might see Night moved around like she is a puppet herself(which happens often so do not worry)

-The smell of rosemary and cinnamon has been in this room while a more french vanilla is in the second picture

-The first pic: you will hear doll music playing in the background which slowly turn more haunting and creepy as time goes on

-The second pic: the song varies but the main one is a Kinjirareta Asobi[A song from the anime Rozen Maiden ((please watch that anime it is so good!!)) ]

Dawn Libya

-Dawn's bedroom based on both the vampire and Gothic vibes she will have when you meet her

-Like Night, she also have her own dance hall but instead of puppets and dolls, its the souls of her past victims dancing with her

-Dawn will move like a puppet as well as Night and you will see them dancing together in eerily sync

-If Night's bedroom has a sweet scent,then Dawn's room will have a different scent: It is a Flamingo Beach but if you smell very carefully..you will smell blood in her room

-The music in Dawn's room varies like Night's room but this time its It's Spiral by DUSTZ from the 2011 anime Blood C opening full.

The Saejima Era 1: SAEJIMA KOUGA

The original era of GARO, encompassing all media released from 2005-2013

GARO (2005-2006, HD Rebroadcast 2016), 25 episodes + 1 Gaiden episode

Painter MITSUKI KAORU, haunted by dreams of a picture book her father created and being saved from monsters by a golden wolf, has her life turn upside down when she is again saved by this golden wolf. SAEJIMA KOUGA, the Golden Knight GARO, ponders what to do about KAORU, who he should have mercy killed after she was stained with Horror Blood, and finds himself troubled further by encounters with SUZUMURA REI, the Silver Fang Knight, who has a grudge against the Golden Knight for unknown reasons.

OP: THEME OF GARO, GARO ~Saviour in the Dark~ (JAM Project, which includes Zaruba VA Kageyama Hironobu)

ED: GARO ~Boku ga ai o tsutaete yuku~, Boku was made koi wo shite ka. (Both originally by Ryuzaki Karune across Kiyomoto Masaki, both later covered by unit GARO Project, consisting of Kiyomoto, Kouga actor Konishi Ryosei, Kaoru actor Hijii Mika, Rei actor Fujita Ray, and Taiga actor Watanabe Hiroyuki.

JAM Project also created the song FENCER of GOLD for the series.

A PS2 Fighting Game, Golden Knight GARO, was produced featuring the Knights and a selection of Horrors from the series.

GARO Special Byakuya no Maju (2006, TVSP, 2 parts)

A follow-up to the original series, KOUGA is called to KANTAI to save an old friend, just as REI is also called there to assist local knight YAMAGATANA TSUBASA, the Midnight Sun Knight DAN, in preparing for a ceremony to prevent the HORROR LEGULES from returning.

ED: Aurora wo Shita de (GARO Project)

GARO Project also produced the romantic ballad Akai Bara.

In the period immediately after the original series, GARO was limited for some time to prose media.

Makai Knight Retsuden: Hagane no Houkou

A diorama story, a certain man tells a certain boy about the history of the Makai Order as bedtime stories.

GARO: Ankoku Makai Kishi Gaiden

A short story collection focusing on various characters from the series thus far, developing more the concept of Nameless Makai Knights. Some aspects of backstory would be retconned.

GARO Yoseki no Wana

CR GARO (2008)

The original Pachinko Machine, developers Sansei R&D are key sponsors of the franchise. Incorporating elements of the franchise thus far, and with something of an original story, and debuted the tradition of incorporating original battles.

Includes the original track FLY by Dustz (Fujita Ray's band)

Guide to GARO: Reintroduction

Approximately 4 years ago, I initiated a series of posts introducing every aspect of the GARO Franchise (all under the GARO tag here) and have endeavoured to keep these up over the years over some 30-40 posts. However, the first major media development since then has recently finished, and while I have already covered it, I felt updating the Introductory post was prudent, and will cover the basics and breakdown the franchise.

The Basics

"Where there is light, shadows lurk and fear reigns. But by the blade of Knights, mankind was given hope."

In the world of GARO exists HORRORS, demonic entities from the Makai Realm, which consume humans, and can possess those who do all to darkness. When possessing a human a Horror can only be identified by the reaction of it's eyes to a Madou Flame. The only thing stopping the Horrors are the Makai Order.

The greatest opposition comes in the for of the Makai Knights, warriors who fight with weapons and magical, wolf-shaped armour made of mystical Soul Metal, the armour summoned by creating circles of light with their weapons which the armour emerges from. The most revered, and commonly considered the strongest Knight is the Golden Knight GARO. While the Knights focused on in a series are normally titles Knights with a unique armour, many Knights are without title and possess a generic armour. An Armour and Title will typically be passed down from father to son, or master to student. Due either to a law or some other factor, women may not be Makai Knights

The other main opponents to the Horrors are the Makai Priests, who rely on spells either using their Madou Brushes or other magical items. Due to lacking armour, in combat Makai Priests may sometimes have to rely on magical familiars, or specialised Madou Tools created by subjugating Horrors.

Some titled Makai Knights are partnered with special Madougu, sentient jewelry acting as avatars for benign Horrors to communicate with a Makai Knight they are contracted to, offering insights on the Horrors they fight or helping detect their activities, GARO's eternal partner is the Madou Ring, Zaruba, the only character to have definitively appeared in live action and animation. The prevalence of Madougu partners varies wildly by era, being almost universal among titled Titles Knights at some points, and virtually unheard of in others.

Certain Makai Knights can, after sealing 100 Horrors, be given a challenge the completion of which allows them the use of a Madou Horse associates with their armour.

Dependent on the era, Makai Order members act in their own volition, under the guidance in senior Makai Priests, or under the auspices of Watchdogs who oversee activity within a territory.

A common but not universal feature of the franchise are Dark Makai Knights, who have fallen to darkness in some way. This has been done in so many different ways I won't go into it. Dark Makai Priests have also appeared, but are less common. Another common feature is acquiring a special transformation for the final battle that is typically seen as a one-off.

Rather than list every entry in release order, I will be breaking my introductions into eras, some of which can be further divided. In essence though, there are 2 distinct eras, plus a few extra, and the anime.
