It's a shame the runtime went down for this episode, hopefully it doesn't go any lower.
Episode 3 was alright, but I feel the whole scene at the conference ended pretty...not? Like, it didn't have a lot of payoff. Big speech from Haruka and the mom's just like "yeah yeah ok just go with the exterminators now k" and he just...does, because reasons? I dunno, it felt a little forced. Other than that, good. |

Another good episode, although the most interesting part continues in the next one... ugh. But hey, Dr. Maki is back!
Also, I'm asking myself the question if this is a reboot/reimagining or an actual sequel to Amazon. Because so far there hasn't been any indicator to that, we don't know where the Amazon cells come from. They could literally have Daisuke strapped in the basement of their company and extract the cells from him or something like that. Although we never had any mention of anything from the old show and every monster here is an Amazon so… seems more like a reboot. Quote:
But it certainly isn’t that noticeable to me, I can ignore Haruka being stupid like I can ignore every other Rider being stupid. I do hate it when they never explain anything until much later though, so the next time Haruka and his Mom meet they better not do the same thing again. |

episode 3 was sort of interesting. Found out Jin used to work used to work for the company that let the Amazons escape, but I'm sure more than a few watching already guessed that. Still no idea how he got the belts. Since the bike they eventually revealed was in his colors I wonder if he was originally supposed to work with them and the exterminators and went "Fuck it, I'm not being used" and left. Speaking of being used not sure if that was the plan "mom" had for Haruka all along or if she's really fast at thinking on her feet. But it does look like she has a rival now. And I'm still hoping somebody punches the "snobby" guy in the face before the series is over. Although when exactly did the exterminator captain realize there was a bug on top of the van?

I am increasingly convinced that Haruka is the major weak spot in this show. I get that we're supposed to be really invested in his struggles with his identity, but the actor they cast is so totally void of charisma that I just cannot bring myself to care about him. Even the big confrontation scene with his mother was still him just standing there and whining. It wasn't even entertaining whining. Considering this is supposed to be one of the main protagonists, the show is really dropping the ball here.
That said, the rest continues to impress me. Jin continues to be far more interesting and entertaining than Haruka and the extermination team continues to have the best storyline. I'm actually really disappointed that this episode was so short since it ended at such a great cliffhanger and I don't want to have to wait to see what comes next. Last major observations: I really liked the incidental music that played when the bike was revealed. Also, the mom's corporate rival is Doctor Maki. Always great to see that actor again.

Today's episode was pretty nice, actually having the ant colony fight take up basically the whole episode. Was surprised they showed two new finishers today, though they feel more like something Kamen Rider X would have, than someone based off of Amazon's powers. Wonder if that last surviving newbie will join the Extermination team.

Bah Gawd! I never see a monster kill a human like this before!
So many swear word! Like F words and all those words! No wonder why this one is a web show and not a television show! Original Amazon don't have so many swear word like these! I should give Kamen Rider Amazons a R-RATED! So Dr. Maki is now working for Nozama Company? I wonder if Kamen Rider Amazons take place in alternate universe where Kamen Riders Don't Exist like Shocker don't existed in their world and this and that! The Music seem too sad all the time! Where's a happy music?! I want Super Sentai's Super Hero Year Project NOW!!! |

There's no real "actual" swearing in Amazons, mostly because Japanese doesn't really do swears like some Western languages do. It's not inaccurate, exactly, but it's still mostly the translators embellishing.

The original Kamen Rider Amazon was bloody too. It makes sense for the modern day re-imagine version to be very violent as well. It's also a web series made for the older fans. I hope we get more web only series.

Considering their lack of involvement in the past few Super Hero Taisens, I really could do with a Sentai Super Hero Project too. Though what series they'd reboot/retool I have no idea. Also I can't think of any season that was 'mature' enough to warrant a Netflix-like show adaptation, but it isn't necessarily required for an online show to be more mature, just because there's less restrictions online.
I'd be down with a Liveman new show, if only because what I hear about it's plot sounds interesting (evil professor who grades his subordinates until they get a low enough score and are to be executed), and I'm always a sucker for a team with two separate Megazords/Gattais that then combine into a bigger one.
