So I was listening to episode 146 of the Video Games Hotdog podcast and Zack was musing about why Japanese seem to affix a letter grade to everything. In this situation, he noticed that weapons in Dark Souls and Bravely Default would have a letter grade to indicate how good it is. And I'm sure we've all played a Japanese game where you got a letter grade that goes all the way up to S ranking.
Even Lock Seeds in Gaim have a D to S ranking.
Anyone know why this came to be or where it came from?

Nothing like looking at these sketches to realize that Garo is a world into Director Amemiya's imagination. The images are in the torrent batch, so no need to download them separately, but here's a link anyway:
Imgur for images
No specific reason for the rerelease. I just wanted to show my friend the video, so I wanted to encode it using the latest encoding techniques we have. There's a few mistake corrections too. This is one of my all time favorite toku movies, so I hope you guys enjoy it if you haven't seen it yet.

Edit:
Whoops, I left out some pictures in the torrent batch. Here they are:

Thanks to the person who pointed this out:

Apparently samurai of all ranks could wear these back mounted flags. The symbol on them could vary, but typically was of the daimyo's crest for easy identification during battles.
An elite samurai (wow, that's an awesome term) would sometimes have a more personalized symbol on his sashimono.

Includes a bunch of commercials as well as the non-credit opening and ending from last year's anniversary. Not a lot of people downloaded that pack, so I figured it'd be fun to throw them in this batch too.
You might see someone familiar in the movie if you've watched Garo: Yami wo Terasu Mono.
Enjoy this nostalgic trip to the past. It's pretty crazy that was 8 years ago. Almost a decade.

Up to 720 only since our capper went out again. Sorry! Will just have to redo it when the blu-ray comes out.

So our long journey through Faiz is at an end, again. We first rereleased the DVD for our anniversary on October 16, 2007. Then we really started going at it starting with episode 2 on July 29, 2009. Now here, on March 6, 2014 almost five years later, we can say that this project is complete. Thanks to everyone for sticking with us through this.
