    Yeah that's weird from automated translators.
    Something like Sword Art Online/VR world plot thing.
    It seems to be a live action but the plot looks so anime-ish. I don't know what to expect.

    I always welcome live action GARO (unlike anime GARO), so yay if it's live action.
    But please have more budget than Jinga (This was too obvious) and a better plot that doesn't end in a "huh ?" way.

    Matsudai plays the role of a college student, Sora Tona, who lives without difficulty. A mysterious VR received from a strange thing, when activated, a large number of players were gathered in a huge game field.

    The winners of the game are lucky in the real world, and the players are immersed in the game. It will play such a complicated and unprecedented role.
    So I guess it's supposed to be Garo going the route of Gundam Build Divers? Essentially VR-JRPGs are the hottest thing in anime now, so here's Garo jumping on the bandwagon and (hopefully) it'll be good.

    Also, it's a darn shame were getting a actual protagonist for this series, I would've paid good money to see Ryosei Konishi as dead serious Kouga trying to fight VR Horrors while comically fumbling around with his controller cables and his headset for half an hour.

    Plot sounds it would fit well for a Rider/Sentai story.... Hell even Ultraman, instead of Garo.

    Still, I know that Garo isn't exactly known for having high budget, it's why the suits are only used as 'finishers', but like others said hopefully this one will have more budget that Jinga.

    I was wondering when we’d finally get an isekai tokusatsu. Not sure I’m thrilled with it being Garo.

    Exactly how many entries has Garo had, and are any missing from HiDive?

    Five full series, three miniseries, an anthology, and several movies and tv specials. Oh, and three cartoons but they sucked. I have no idea what HiDive is, but the first two shows and interstitial specials are available on blu-ray.

    HiDive is another anime streaming service with simulcasts, similar to Crunchyroll and an obvious competitor to them as well!

    It was apparently revealed that Garo would stream exclusively on HiDive back in 2017, and of the series and movies they have available:

    - Garo: Season 1 (25 Episodes; 2005)

    - Garo Special: Beast of the Demon Night (2006)

    - Garo: Red Requiem (2010)

    - Garo: Makai Senki - Season 2 (25 Episodes; 2011)

    - Garo: Kiba - The Dark Knight (2011)

    I don't precisely know what is missing from this list, but HiDive has partnered with Sentai Filmworks, and clicking on "SHOP" will divert you to Sentai's official website, which has the Garo Blu-Ray for purchase!
