I watched the first 6 episodes of Kamen Rider Amazon and as you might suspect, I liked it a lot.
Mostly because: Exactly. It's just such a fresh and unique concept of a Rider-show. It's basically Tarzan with super-powers and I love it. You still have your usual Rider-tropes but the unique take on the protagonist makes those quite cool to witness as well. I also like how the nature of the character reflects on his fighting style. Super-1 did a fantastic job of making us aware that a Shaolin fighter is inside the suit and Amazon does an equally great thing in making the Amazon Rider a wild beast that mostly uses his claws and fangs to fight the enemy. Speaking of fighting, one thing I find a bit strange is how Amazon has yet to use his signature finisher. I can’t wait to see him turn a Gedon Beastman into a corn syrup fountain |

I watched the Theater special Showa Amazons episode/movie the other night and it definitely ended with "blood" spraying everywhere.
really reminded me of the new Amazons show where he jumps and just slams his arm fins into heads and stuff and blood sprays everywhere. |

I'm up to Episode 12 on Amazon now, and I love this show. So simple, yet so unique and fun. Much has happened since I last shared my progress: The Mole Beastman was introduced, I adore him and his silly "Chu Chu" noises, Amazon faced so many enemies and social tasks and was finally rewarded with... clothing!
I was also quite surprised to see that Amazons did in fact not invent the whole "Draw a weapon out of the Driver"-thing, Amazon himself pulled a knife out of his Condorer belt to stab the Cat Beastman. But I'll bet he'll never do it again. Also, in Episode 11 Amazon faced a Snail Beastman. Remember how impressed I was with Amazon's feral fighting style? Apparently he took fighting lessons from Bruce Lee recently Last edited by Kiwami; 03-28-2018 at 02:24 PM.. |

I don’t want to spoil what Amazon’s signature finisher is, but trust me, it is perfect.

Finished Amazon. Fun series, although you really felt how they tried to save the sinking ship during the second half of its short run but then had to give up regardless.
Still a good time though. I think I'll try Black RX now, it's the anniversary after all and I watched Black like 2 years ago, I feel like I want more now. |

I watched the first 3 Episodes of Black RX and so far I'm not impressed. Very much a run-of-the-mill show, the action and effects are good but everything else is pretty awful. The supporting characters are annoying as hell, they are just - way too happy. Or let's say their emotions are portrayed in such extremes that you can't help but roll your eyes.
Kotaro is an especially jarring case IMO - I'm sorry but considering what the guy went through in Black, seeing him living his life acting like this is just not right. He shouldn't be an outcast who lives in a cave either, but you would assume that he is much more careful about relationships with humans around him after his Rider career so far. The most logical assumption to me is that he has actually gone mad The show is not without its strengths, the whole birth of RX was beautifully handled and I loved the role of the King Stone, the Crisis Empire is an interesting enemy but everything else leaves me a bit disappointed. I will give this show its time to prove me wrong but it was a rocky start so far. The breakneck pace isn't helping much either. |

Black RX starts off kinda weird. It stabilizes and improves a lot as it goes along. The arc that introduces Robo and Biorider is where the show really takes off.

I've heard rumors that Black RX was supposed to be an original series entirely, but Black was so popular they decided to just make it a sequel.
I'm not sure how true that is, but given what I've heard about Kotaro being almost an entirely different character between the two shows, I'd believe it.
