Red Garden Final Review – “The end of the battle, the calm after the storm”
A lady sleeps in the bed of flowers, as she lays there in a relaxed manner and undisturbed by the bloodshed and ashes of the battle. When she wakes up, she will remember nothing. Yet, her steps will always be remembered by the few that have witnessed this spectacle.
The few are us, the audience as we are brought into the world of Red Garden as it came into a close.

Red Garden Ep 20-21 – “The Animus, the forgetfulness, the unknown”
Since I have gotten both Episode 20 and 21 at the same time, I decided to do two summaries at the same time for the small amount of people that follows Red Garden. That, by the way, is a huge pity because it is such an excellent show. So, this is perhaps a double package with tons of text and discussion about everything that had happened.
The end is near and the night is soon to be over. What will happen?

Just one blood filled picture to represent what has happened…
Red Garden is getting more disturbing and is turning out to be one of the best Gonzo works that I have seen.

Red Garden continues to disturb the senses whenever you are lulled into a sense of security. This above image summarizes the biggest shock in this episode, as I continued to be impressed by this series a lot.
Episode 17 is accidentally deleted before I can blog it, and it will be problematic to get it again. Hence, an episode is skipped. I apologize and let’s move on to the gist of the episode and my thoughts on this.
1 commentRed Garden Ep 16 – “Death of a brother”
Since Shinsen has released Episode 16, I will simply go for my thoughts which will probably be due to the fact that I have an immense backlog and lacking time to write too much. In my opinion, this is one of the best episodes in Red Garden due to the climax leading to JC’s death, and the fighting scenes are pretty good.
Personally, I found Herve’s words to be really powerful. It is possibly true, since he has no reason to really lie to them and it really confuses the situation. Initially, the girls are given the knowledge that Herve and his clan is the enemy. Now, we are given the truth possibly that both sides are simply fighting for survival and there is no right or wrong. It makes you think that Kate and the other girls are really pawns in this game where both sides are trying to get the cure of the curse back in order to recover.
What will happen to the girls? They would probably die if Herve and his clan got the other book, since they know now where the other clan is hiding. If they finally grab the book back from them, they would forget their memories. It is a dilemma that will eventually reach a losing conclusion for the girls, no matter what the outcome will be. All this will simply spiral into the hopeless future that they fear so much. I just got a feeling that this series will have one of the saddest endings ever and I do wonder how they are going to resolve the situation, considering that there is about 6-7 episodes left. Seriously, putting myself in their shoes, my first question will be this.
What am I even fighting for? Hope, I have none. Life, I have none. Relationships, I have lost all. Humanity, I am losing it.
In my opinion, I find it hard to convince myself if I am in their shoes.
Anna is also showing signs of weakening, which means that Herve will probably be turning totally desperate soon. It will be likely that he will be locked up, especially after showing himself to the enemy. It’s strange though that both Emilio and Herve are a match for 6-7 of the other clan. A full frontal confrontation looks exceptionally likely, especially when JC, the brother of Lula is killed. Revenge is definitely on the hands.
To end it off, I do wonder what the trauma will be on Kate after discovering Herve is making use of her all the time. Since Emilio has shown himself, what will his relationship be with Kate’s sister? Questions are presented ahead more than answers.

Who is the biggest victim?
Is it Herve? Is it the four gals? Is it Lisa?
I do not have an answer to this series that is growing in character complexity.
3 commentsRed Garden Ep 14 – “Rose, you finally grow a spine!”
Rose is finally useful. I am so glad for her because I have been totally annoyed by her futile attempt to do anything at all.
In a way, I like it that they finally resolved the whole issue since it is clear in Episode 12 and 13 that Rose’s continual weakness is affecting the group. Anyway, let me go straight on this Red Garden episode.
