May as well go for it, even though I doubt this thread'll do well.

GARO focuses on the life of Kouga Saejima, who assumed the title of a Makai Knight to protect humanity against dark demonic manifestations called "Horrors." In his quest to purge them, he encounters a young girl named Kaoru whom he saved from a Horror, but was stained with its demonic blood. As a rule, those that been stained by the blood of a Horror shall be cut down, or else they will die painfully in approximately 100 days. Kouga had mercy upon her and tries to find a way to purify her before her remaining time expires. Thus, the series focuses on Kouga's developing relationship with Kaoru and his stand in protecting humanity after the wishes of his father, who was his predecessor with the title of GARO. The series was created and chief directed by Keita Amemiya (Kamen Rider ZO, Zeiram).
This show aired a couple years back on TV-Tokyo. 1:30 AM. It absolutely redefined tokusatsu, but sadly failed to leave much of a change on the genre as a whole. It broke from the 'for children' mold of this sort of television, containing gratuitous amounts of blood, gore, mythology its contemporaries wouldn't dare touch...and a small amount of nudity.
It airs in Italy on MTV, if I recall correctly, along with on 8TV in Malaysia. It's been licensed into the U.S. and Spain, but as it's yet to be released as to who bought the rights, the fansub group that did it considers still hosting the batch torrent legitimate. And before I forget...
