GOLDEN KNIGHT GARO

From ancient times the MAJU (Evil Beast) “Horror” have plagued mankind. There are those who have continued to protect mankind from the MAJU secretly. It is the single bloodline of the MAKAI Knights who have the power to defeat MAJU. A mysterious young man living in an old castle, Koga Saejima, has the proof of the highest ranked MAKAI Knight, the golden armor inherited by the Golden Knight GARO. The holy blade of the Golden Knight hunting down evil MAJU tears apart the nightside of the city... Koga transforms via a dimensional gateway opening to the MAKAI Realm of Spirits. As GARO, Koga has a time limit of 99.9 seconds. When the time limit is nears its end, his armor begins to change. When transforming, the sword Koga normally carries, the MAKAI Blade changes to GARO Blade. GARO was created by famed experimental director Keita Amemiya. His sometimes controversial productions include the brilliant Iron Armor Mikazuki, Zeiram I & II, Moon Over Tao, Hakaider, Mirai Ninja (known in the states as Cyber Ninja or Future Ninja) and the currently running anime series Tweeny Witches. Amemiya first came to my attention because of his extensive use of stop motion animation for his monsters in such productions as Kamen Rider ZO and Hakaider.
