GARO

GARO (牙狼-GARO-, GARO?, literally "Fanged Wolf" in English) is a Japanese tokusatsu television series. It was broadcast on TV Tokyo from October 7. 2005 to March 31, 2006, lasting 25 episodes (with one additional "Overview" special, summarizing the events of episodes 1 through 13, aired before episode 14) . Produced by Bandai, the series is considered by some to be a turning point in tokusatsu entertainment, as it was marketed towards adults and older teenagers, as opposed to younger children. The show contains graphic violence, nudity, and mature themes. It was marketed as a "Hyper Midnight Action Drama." On December 15 and December 22, 2006, a special entitled GARO Special: Beast of the White Night (牙狼-GARO-スペシャル 白夜の魔獣, GARO Supesharu Byakuya no Majū?) aired. (The special is in two parts, each part 50 minutes long.)
