GARO: Crimson Moon (Or, in Japanese, GARO: Guren no Tsuki) is the second animated entry in the GARO franchise, (Proceeded by [[Anime/GaroTheAnimation GARO: Carved Seal Of Flames]] animated by MAPPA and written by Yasuko Kobayashi.
In Heian-Era Feudal Japan, A trio of secret warriors stand against monsters called Horrors that prey on people in the night. The current bearer of the GARO Armor, Raikou, (Aided by Raikou's young attendant Kintoki) must rely on the JerkWithAHeartOfGold Makai Alchemist Seimei to help him don his armor, as he is unable to wear it on his own due to a seal placed upon him.
Spikes in Horror activity have put the Light Palace and it's retainers on-edge. These spikes are soon traced to a dark curse-bearer known as Ashiya Douman, who manipulates the downtrodden and spiteful into becoming Horrors to do his bidding.
As the trio fight, hints of a larger scheme begin to unravel. Not helped is Seimei herself, who also has things to hide....
Is followed up by the 2017 sequel Anime/GAROVanishingLine.

In Heian-Era Feudal Japan, A trio of secret warriors stand against monsters called Horrors that prey on people in the night. The current bearer of the GARO Armor, Raikou, (Aided by Raikou's young attendant Kintoki) must rely on the JerkWithAHeartOfGold Makai Alchemist Seimei to help him don his armor, as he is unable to wear it on his own due to a seal placed upon him.
Spikes in Horror activity have put the Light Palace and it's retainers on-edge. These spikes are soon traced to a dark curse-bearer known as Ashiya Douman, who manipulates the downtrodden and spiteful into becoming Horrors to do his bidding.
As the trio fight, hints of a larger scheme begin to unravel. Not helped is Seimei herself, who also has things to hide....
Is followed up by the 2017 sequel Anime/GAROVanishingLine.

** Deconstructed with [[spoiler: Michinaga]], head of the Light Palace. He has moderate knowledge on Knights and Horrors and despite showing signs of being TheUnfettered, he has no issues hearing his servants out and generally just shows a strict-yet-fair attitude. [[spoiler: Come the Finale, he opposes efforts to let common citizenry into the Light Palace for shelter against the giant Horror Rudra, succumbing to Japan's CasteSystem. Yorinobu has to let them in behind his back, forcing him to give a RousingSpeech to save face]].
* ByTheBookCop: [[spoiler: Yorinobu]] plays this painfully straight. He [[spoiler: eventually becomes leader of the Police Magistrate after Kinto becomes possessed]].
* CognizantLimbs: The [[spoiler: resurrected Rudra]] has eight arms, each of which can act on their own.
* BigDamnHeroes: Quite a bit. Examples include:
** Haruaki [[spoiler: using a spell to let Raikou enter Seimei's heart and purge her of Rudra]].

* HonorAmongThieves: Hakamadare's group are fiercely loyal to him and obey his ThouShaltNotKill rule.

* MythologyGag: The whole show, really. Many of the show's side-characters and Horror hosts are adaptations of various famous figures in Japanese history and/or mythology.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Heavily implied with Kintoki.
** An extra episode reveals that Kintoki [[spoiler: was once a Makai Knight whose Armor robbed him of memories and age each time he used it, hence why he appears to be a young child and has forgotten his old life]].
* OrcusOnHisThrone: [[spoiler: Michinaga]] typically sits in the Light Palace, letting the police magistrate investigate the disturbances on their own.
** Hakamadare sees the Light Palace in general as this. He's not wrong.
* PowerLimiter: Seimei's seal on Raikou, designed to [[spoiler: prevent another transformation into the Garo Armor's [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Lost Beast Soul]] form. Raikou eventually matures to the point that he undoes it permanently on his own]].

* TheDragon: [[spoiler: Douma Doushi]].
