Just finished Amazons 9. The series started off a bit slow, but once it hit its stride it has been great. Episodes 7 and 8 in particular were awesome.
I'm just slightly confused by these bracelets. So...these people were tested on, and given bracelets to control their transformation. When the bracelet runs out, they start transforming into their Amazon form, and need to be exterminated? Then how can some still transform before the bracelet runs out?

Well the amazons we see in the show (with the exception of Jin, and a character introduced in season 2) aren't human, they're creatures made from scratch in a lab that can just mimic humans. Also all the amazons capable of transforming whenever they want, all the armlet does is keep their cannibalistic urges in check.
This show kind of feels more and more like Tokyo Ghoul.

There are 6 times of Amazons over both seasons and 4 of those are Riders. The Amazons they fight in Season 1 are the only ones who are not human at all. They are completely artificial and only look human. The rest I won't explain for spoiler reasons, though you probably know about the two riders by now.

But yeah, that makes a lot more sense now. When I started the series, I was under the impression that the Amazons were all people who were experimented on. The fact that they were created in a lab explains a lot of the things I was confused about lol.

Black RX, Episode 27.
So I assume this is the end of Shadow Moon. It was okay. And that's the worst thing about it: It was only okay. It shouldn‘t be, it should've been amazing. They did some neat stuff at least but ultimately it was too weak to serve as the finale of such a great character. What a shame. The more and more I watch of Black RX the more I want to believe it’s an alternate-universe kinda thing, like a continuation that’s not canon. It’s a decent show at best but at the end of the day it’s just not good enough to be the sequel to Black. |

Black RX, Episode 29.
The Crisis invasion fleet is now under the close watch of an inspector because Emperor Crisis is finally fed up with their incompetence. Only took them like half a year. Anyways, since their job (and life I assume) is on the line they carry out a rather good plan: Destroy the control stations of the water resources of Japan and then regulate the water output so people have to obey Crisis who appear as generous helpers in need which give out free water. That's one part of the story; the other is a young woman whose parents have been killed in one of the attacks. She desperately wants to avenge them, and thus channels the power of Adolf Hitler to smite her foes: .... Nah I'm just screwing with you guys, she thinks she needs to develop superpowers so she points at random stuff and tries to learn the ways of the force. Meanwhile, Kotaro opposes Crisis and faces backlash from the people who need water, but manages to take out the Crisis monster responsible for the attacks. A big strength of this episode is that the plot makes (some) sense for once, and that Reiko finally gets more development. And that gets rewarded with a nice twist as Kotaro decides to let her in on his secret. And finally, Nazi girl does get superpowers by the end of the episode. What the fuck. And there’s a second part, this was just the first one. The hell? Last edited by Kiwami; 05-10-2018 at 02:41 PM.. |

I'm trying to push through Hibiki. Doesn't help I'm watching the TV-Nihon scans which are a little blurry.
Swear sometimes I feel like I'm watching a French Art film at times. Bad noises and sound effects, wonky camera angles. *sigh* I'll keep pushing on but so far I'm really not digging it. I'm only a few episodes in and I really hope it gets better. And with luck the video quality improves, because right now I feel like I'm watching an old tube-tv through a window that's been smeared with vasoline. |

thanks. I just looked them up and found 1-36 and the movie.
I checked the TV-Nihon ones I have (episode 37) and it doesn't look as bad as the first 5 have looked, so I guess they got better towards the end of the series. Thank you though, 1-5 has really been pretty painful to watch, so I appreciate it. |
