A XIV Garo season, or a Garo questline in the game, would be fun. We have Sin Eaters aka angels gone wrong, Voidsent aka [insert horror genre and/or western "pagan" folklore here], Reapers and Dark Knights. And I'm saying Dark Knights because their entire job questline fits the criteria mentioned in the video in my opinion. Except for maybe the unique spin. It has Sidurgu as the "season specific knight" sitting in the heart of basically the spanish inquisition protecting a little girl from said inquisition. Tragedy is checked to varying degrees. In Heavensward (the lvl 30 to 50 quests) the focus is heavily on the unfairness of the world and trauma of the player characterthrough Fray/Esteem (with a bit of a silver lining at the end) and leading into the second half of them (lvl 50 to 60) with Sidurgu and his charge, which has tragedy and comedy in equal measure (and the comedy making the tragedy actively a bit sharper). Then comes Stormblood where circle back to the player character with loss and grief. After that follows Shadowbringers with one big quest which can be boiled to a big victory lap if I remember correctly. The odd one out is Endwalker which doesn't have any of it specifically for Dark Knight since that's MSQ up to the end of 6.0. There's no easy way out of being Dark Knight. They don't retire and die of old age as far as I know. It's either being viciously killed in the line of duty (or on the Path), being viciously murdered because they're branded as evil one way or another, or they succumb to their own darkness and it takes over while erasing the actual Dark Knight's personality. A Makai Knight meeting Sidurgu, or a player Dark Knight, would be fun and potentially funny. Especially if the Makai Knight slightly rubs Sidurgu the wrong but is liked by his charge. And a Makai Knight meeting any Reaper in the would be just funny because Reapers would be Horrors just waiting to happen for them. The Reaper jobquests show what happens when the pact between Reaper and Voidsent goes sideways aka Voidsent tricks Reaper. FF XIV x Garo would be amazing if it was expanded outside of PvP and fashion.

Yes, I was just thinking of this!!! Honestly I would just love Makai Knight armors for every melee DPS and Tank class - they don't have to be canon just apart of the story, but sadly my samurai is out of luck. You have to be a Paladin or Ninja to get the GARO or ZERO armors respectively then their are dark knight armors available for Dark Knight or Warrior. I love the way you think, you get a pin! Personally I would just bring in other season knights as well -Warrior , A green knight I vaguely remember with a great axe from a season finale in the 2005 to 2034 series -Bard, Guy the Heavenly Bow Knight -Dragoon, the white knight -Ninja is still zero along with viper -Paladin is still Garo, BUT so is Dark Knight because we've seen the sword of GARO as both a two hander and one hander in the show -Red Mage is the blazing knight zen or the rose knight jinga -Monk is a Horror just because hands = claws or a blue and gold knight I vaguely remember -Mages are Makai priests

I think Dragoon also gets a Makai Knight armour. I wish Reaper and Gunbreaker would also get them as well as Samurai and Monk.

Garo was one of the last things I expected to be on this channel. It's a surprise but a welcomed one. The original timeline is okay as you said but some of those episodes are peak Garo and worth watching for historic purposes. The only thing I disagree with is watching the Zero movies standalone since they build off and are direct spin-offs of the original timeline. I also recommend the series if you have a wife/girlfriend who's into Asian dramas but you don't want to watch melodramatic romantic bs and need to see karate wolf knights beat each other up.

One series that i think you might like for its Grim Dark tone is the Vampire Hunter D series. Its sci-fi, fantasy, post-apocalyptic, horror, action & adventure all rolled up into one! Dark House Comics has been releasing 3 in 1 books of the light novel series. Also, there are two anime movies, based off the 1st and 3rd stories.

Interesting, never heard of Garo before but it kind of reminds me of an 80s anime called Guyver, since that anime had the darker and gritty power rangers vibe. Though Guyver was more scfi and was about fighting aliens and mutants while Garo is more fantasy and supernatural but both seem to have a similar premise with main characters who have an armor power up and fight monsters but this seems to a lot more deeper them Guyver was when it comes to its themes. Been years since I watched the anime but from what I remember Guyver was more about cool fights and gore.

Watch order is a fallacy . Release order is absolutely fine. Specially for stuff that is made by a team and don't have a unified vision such as Garo itself but Gundam for example. There is no way newcomer will notice if something is done different without experiencing the original series, that while a little cheesy is very good.

garo is not really "power ranger" or super sentai. its much more of a metal hero, except instead of tech/space based, its magical. the more i think about it, the more it fits. hero can fight incredibly well without transforming, and using transformation for a limited power boost. female companion/love interest(some times they can fight, most of them are completely useless), focus on detective work and investigation(the genre did start as a space detective), it also draws inspiration from kamen rider, with its demon/monster hunter aspect.
