GARO (2005)

The dynamic of Shin Hongo and Shin Ichimonji reminds me of Kouga and Rei from GARO.

The AUGs of the Shin Kamen Rider movie remind me of Garo's Horror.

GARO is known for their awesome choreography so if you enjoy the fight scenes of the movie then this series would be a treat.

The factory fight of Ichigo and Nigo has the perfect equivalent.

The special effects are similar.

Very Dark Tokusatsus aimed for a more mature audience.

-Both Kaiju/Enemies in these two kill humans in brutal ways. Both contain graphic violence, and the use of alcohol.
-Mature themes, both are not for children.

-If you like Tokusatsu grim dark, give these two a try. If you still like lighter and softer go watch Sailor Moon or Super Senttai.

Both are not kid friendly tokusatsu shows, with Amazons going more into morally grey and some gruesome visuals, while Garo has some monsters with creepy undertones and some guest characters will show an occasional boob.

Dogai Ryuga, the Golden Knight Garo, has regained his golden glow and destroyed the evil plots of Horror. An encounter with a mysterious knight clad in “steel” leads Ryuga to the next test. Now, the story that approaches the origin of the protector begins!

Both are modern day fantasy stories with magic and superheroes.

The two shows each take a similar approach to its villains with demonic creatures taking over the bodies of normal humans after crossing a moral line/falling to despair. Only in Wizard this is not instantaneous and the victim is allowed to fight back or be saved by the hero.

The lead females of both shows also show similarities in their stories with the hero fighting to keep them alive and relationships with her father being examined.
