GO BIG OR GO HOME!
Big men! Big swords! Big motorcycles! Big armours! Big steaks! Big fries! Big T&A and a rocking opening song. These are cultured aspects you can expect to find when you watch this show, as rare as it is in modern Japanese productions to have em.
This is every man's wet dream.
I'm not knocking on Japan's effeminate culture (OK maybe I am, just a little), but I'm being serious when I say that these are rare attributes to find in your seasonal anime chart. They're not invisible, but they're also not prevalent.
This is a joke, please do not be offended.
People will always fear the samurai regardless of their choice of hairstyle and outfit.
GARO: Vanishing Line plays to your typical male power fantasy as the main hero aka Sword is a total badass who kills horrors (people who turn into literal monsters for the layman) for a living and gorges on hearty food like he's at the Heart Attack Grill when he's not on the job.

Yes, this series is a definite watch for your average man-child like myself, but what's more surprising about it than any of its BIG aspects is that it's directed by Seong Ho Park, who I'm assuming is Korean. I know many anime productions that have Koreans as animators, but this is the first time I've seen any Korean holding a position as high as director in an anime production. Big props to him (Or her, I'm not sure how Korean names work) for managing to get far up the industry latter.
The opening song definitely gets me excited.
The series is available to watch on Crunchyroll or your favourite illegal streaming site of your choice. It's currently up to its 11th episode and I believe it will end on its 26th.
GARO: Vanishing Line also not the only GARO show available and you can learn more about the various productions here on its detailed wikia.
Now that I have told you everything there is to know about this BIG anime,
Thanks for reading and Merry Christmas to you all!
