Sephiroth Versus Kouga Saejima

Yes, you read that title right. Surprisingly, when I watched Final Fantasy VII Advent Children again, I'm comparing this to the live-action tokusatsu show GARO and somehow, to my surprise on how similar these two are:

• Both were using OMNIBUS JAPAN as doing some VFX stuff (no, I'm not kidding. Just watch Adevnt Children and GARO and you'll see).
• Somehow, the action in GARO is pretty much similar to Advent Children too, given that both of them defy the laws of physics literally.
  
• The main character from Adevent Children and GARO, respectively Cloud Strife and Kouga Saejima, both uses swords and it's even more similar when Kouga's sword, when mounted on his metal golden horse Gouten, increases its size to even the same size as Cloud's Buster Sword.
• Both of the monsters - GARO's Horrors and Advent Children's monsters and Bahamut Sin - look very similar to each other.

No wonder, I love GARO so much, even the music is somewhat similar to them. Yes, there were a few differences between them, like the storyline and the characters and also the directors, creators and designers, but somehow GARO is like a live-action version of Advent Children. And if you don't believe me, try watching the bonus ending in the Advent Children DVD without pressing the skip forward button and be surprise by spotting 'OMNIBUS JAPAN' somewhere on the credits. Well, I'm going to watch GARO again and attempt to compare Kouga as Sephiroth and Karou as Aerith for some odd reason.

Quote of the moment - "Where there is light, shadows lurk and fear reigns... yet by the blade of Knights, mankind was given hope..." - Some quote from GARO. I'll be surprise if there's a real second season to GARO and it involves Kouga fighting against Sephiroth.
