Broadcast on TV Tokyo and its affiliates, the show ran for 25 episodes, with an additional overview special. The series follows the Makai Knights, warriors who operate in a secret war against evil demonic creatures known as Horrors. These entities manifest through darkness to devour humanity. The narrative centers on the title of Golden Knight Garo, a designation held by the protagonist, Kouga Saejima.

The series explores the dark and unique nature of these battles, including the transformation known as the Lost Soul Beast Garo, which occurs when the wearer of the armor gives into rage.
