Okay, so first things first: I am totally over Haruka's sister. She was a complete waste of space in this episode.
Second, everything else was freaking fantastic. This episode had great tension with the slow climb up the building and the unending waves of Ant Amazons (Antmazons?). The action direction was also fantastic - you really felt the claustrophobia inside the halls and the battle on the rooftop was great. Haruka is finally starting to click for me and I'm actually interested to see how he develops from here. He's starting to be more active and less whiny, which makes him a more engaging character and simultaneously frightening as all hell in battle. We're finally get some of that brutal violence that I expected from a show based on Amazon and I'm actually curious to see how Haruka processes it. |

I think Haruka bonding with Mamoru and wanting to act more like him (the domesticated Amazon) was cute, and having two whole finishers used (though I'm surprised the whip finisher is still Violent Punish) was nice, though I get the feeling the electric rounds aren't doing as much as they used to.

Holy crap this episode was awesome. I loved how the action felt claustrophobic and how brutal haruka was. I do wish there was more red Amazon though because he's my favorite

Omega used a "violent break" special twice - he pulled out a spear and gored like three ants, then a grappling hook used to pull down the queen. Both times he pulled the right handle out of the driver on his waist
How's the handle getting "reloaded"? Is this like "subspace" and Optimus Prime's trailer?

Amazon cells. That's gonna be the catch all reason for everything in this show.
PS that scene was Garo levels badass, so physics stopped mattering at that point. |

Pretty cool episode. The part with the exterminators fighting their way up the apartment complex was very well done, I got a Resident Evil kinda vibe from it when you fight your way through the mansion full of zombies, I liked that a lot.
Omega was badass at the end, I forgot he had the ability to create weapons even though we saw the spear in a promo and the toy comes with an attachment which simulates this, but I like how he rips it out of the driver and it looks really nasty, in a good way. It's kind of a shame that while Alpha had a lot of badassery going on he never used a finisher yet. Judging from the toy belt he has an old-school Amazon chop/slash, looking forward to seeing that one. And while I really tried not to get attached to Mamoru too much, I know he will go berserk sooner than later and Haruka will have to deal with him, I failed miserably at that once he stayed back to protect Nozomi. The episode where Mamoru and Haruka fight will come and it will hit me right in the feels. Crap. Anyways, I’m looking forward to the next episode! Quote:

Keep in mind, it could be Haruka who puts Mamoru down. Or it could be Jin. If it's Jin, which honestly I rather see, it would create more conflict between Alpha and Omega. Keeping with Haruka's wishing to be human as possible, he could very well rather find some way to help Mamoru instead of just ending his life. Whereas Jin...would have no qualms about it.
I do find it interesting that Jin seems to have this protectiveness over Haruka. It could be as simple as he feels sorry for the other, it could be something more. Who knows. With such small amount of episodes planned, it's difficult to say where they can take all these loose ends and possible scenarios. I could see Haruka and Mamoru battling it out just because it would be the easiest in terms of story telling within a short series.

Yeah it could be Jin, but I think they build up Haruka’s attachment to Mamoru on purpose just so that they can farm the drama later when Haruka needs to kill Mamoru. Feels like something a Rider show would do to me.

There would still be drama if Jin did it. And more conflict between the two main characters. In terms of storytelling, Jin ending Mamoru is the better angle.
