Garo: Vanishing Line

Action, love, magic, loss, defeat, victory, friendship, this serie has it all. 100% recommended. The world of Garo, magic and knights faces a young girl who has no idea about this world. The group of main characters face to normal evils, but these lead them to something greater, and learn that the true force is not for yourself, but to protect others. The world of Garo is self contained, so you can watch this series alone, without knowing anything else and be 100% into it and satisfied. Not another action anime, but emotion is the core if this. Pretty sure at the end you will want to spread the word of Garo.

I am really surprised how much hate this anime gets and its actually not that bad. Most people on Crunchyroll hate Sophie, but she is an adorable teenager. I personally would have liked to see more of this.

It is about a highly advanced town - Russel City. While people enjoy its prosperity in the town, there is a huge conspiracy secretly going on which will shake the world. Sword, a man who notices its movement determines to throw himself into battles and reveal the conspiracy, but only to find a clue - "Eldorado". At that time, Sword happens to meet a girl Sophie who has been looking for the meaning of "Eldorado", a message left by her missing brother. These two, attracted by the word "Eldorado", somehow feel invisible ties each other and start to act together. Their journey with mixed feelings now begins.

*The story is explained at the beginning of the first episode, so you can discount this as being a spoiler, since if you plan on watching you will find this out within minutes. *

Sophie, our protagonist, is living in an orphanage since her brother disappeared 3 years earlier, and while searching for him, she runs into a whole different world of "Horrors" and Makai knights and alchemists(the good guys).

Sophie's growth throughout the series and the action scenes really make the anime worth watching, but if you're not into over-the-top fights between good and evil, i guess you can give this one a skip.
