The creative team behind the Full Metal Panic! trilogy is back with a nightmare-inducing series about teenage exorcists forced to draw swords against bloodthirsty creatures of unholy origins. Kagura and Yomi may look like ordinary school girls as they walk the streets of Tokyo clad in short skirts and knee-high socks, but they’re the heroes you scream for when monsters creep out of the darkness. These sword-totting sisters are part of an elite counterattack unit that specializes in suppressing outbreaks of supernatural activity. They train together, live together, eat together, and spend their nights disemboweling demons with sacred blades. Tragedy strikes when Yomi is possessed by a dark spirit, and Kagura must choose between raising her weapon against the eerily familiar face of ultimate evil – or watching her mentor slaughter innocent citizens. In a life or death battle that pits sister against sister, survival may be the greatest agony of all.

short and sweet
I watched this show a while back when it appeared on hulu and overall was very impressed. I went into this knowing absolutly nothing about the original source material and what I found was a concise and satisfying storyline with excellent animation. Like all anime this show does contain some elements that are a little outlandish, one scene in particular towards the end of the series was completely ridiculous, but this aspect is kept to an absolute minimum. Where Garie Zeros really hits is in the emotional impact of the of the bonds formed between the two main charcters and the horrible realities of the events surrounding them. Although the conclusion becomes obvious before the end arrives, and some holes are left open leading into the manga, this is easily one of the most streamlined stories I have encountered in recent history. In short this is a good show for anyone looking for a show that delivers both intense action and a excellent character devolpment without the commitment of a long series held down by filler and other useless side material.

Ga-Rei-Zero
The dubbed was perfect and the anime series was perfect. It took me a long time to remember the title, but when I remembered it, the wait was worth it. The reason why I couldn't remember the title was because I first saw it at Netflix and eventhough they showed the title, I couldn't remember it.

Wrap it up read a book
The was a Fun very unexpectedly gruesome anime. The negative is the ending. New character show up wham bamm roll credits. I don't consider this a go read the manga ending but it is highly warranted if you want closure.

Good Grief it's sad!
The city of Tokyo is under attack by monsters. That's no surprise, isn't it always. Fortunately there are 2 hot young ladies that won't stand for it. Kagura and Yomi both come from families with enormous responsibilities. Battling evil with their spiritual powers. They form a bond of sisterhood and live to protect each other from the evil lurking in the darkness. But a light that shines so brightly attracts attention of a dark shadow. Immense tragedy befalls the 2 sisters and destroys their lives. I was really upset over the awful things that happen to them. But I was impressed by strength of their love. I really enjoyed watching Ga-Rei-Zero but Good Grief it's sad.

Great Series... Nice packaging
The series was absolutely wonderful to watch. I'll admit I was a little teary eyed when Yomi and Kagura were in the hospital. I felt bad for Yomi when she tried calling out for Kagura and couldn't and she was constantly typing on her cell phone that she was sorry. I loved the series and would recommend it to anyone. The packaging was Funimations first at blu-ray DVD release with a nice box. Sadly the box wasn't chipboard like they use nowadays but still nicely done.

Good, but Depressing
The animation in this show is top notch, and the visuals are engaging. There is lots of relationship going on among the main characters. That said, it is also very depressing. Every episode begins with the question "Will you kill person you love because you love them?" so I am not really giving any spoilers here. They spend the entire series developing the relationships and showing you that the people love one another. Then they have to turn around and chop the others to bits because they are possessed by evil spirits. All the violence happens on screen, so you see a lot of blood, sword cuts, and limbs being cut off. In the end, the person who is causing all this trouble and releasing the evil spirits isn't even caught. I supposed that that leaves the door open for a sequel.I just looked at the Amazon header at the top of the page for this and it says that it is rated G. Don't believe it. It should be rated R.

凄かった
2019年3月に購入、インポートのブルーレイ&DVDのコンボ物で、両方ともリージョンフリーデッキでも通常日本デッキでも日本語音声の字幕なしで再生できました。購入のきっかけは、アマゾンで偶然この作品を見かけ、レヴューを見ると概ね高評価だったので安いしポチリました。(今は高騰してますが・・・)この作品のことはレヴュでの内容くらいしか知らず、ほとんど前知識はなく拝見しましたが、てっきり表紙の白い竜みたいなやつがペットとして大活躍するのかと思いきやそうではなく、1話からいい意味で思わぬ展開へ進みます。いろんなことがつながっているんですね。しかし、霊って怖いわー向こう側がこっち個人を認識してピンポイントで攻撃してくと、ほんまにプライベートもなく気の休まる間が無くなります。そこへ身内からも攻撃を受けるともう逃げ場が無くなりますから、こんな怖いことはないですね。(霊こわいブルブル)怖いけど面白く☆5つとします。
