New episode was pretty good. It's funny - I find Chihiro fairly aggravating but, when paired with Iyu, he's more tolerable! Maybe it's the fact that she could kill him any time his stomach growls. The Neo / Crow team up on the disgusting Anteater / Elephant Amazon was pretty bitchin'.
As ever, there's always some stupid element in Amazonz and here it was our season one team taking Team Kiss dude out on a mission - with no armor or weapons. That is just incredibly dumb, I don't think I need to extrapolate on the why. Momaru lookin' all tough!

Don't know why I've not commented on the new season yet. Only caught up through episode 3, but it took that one to really getting me caring again. Chihiro being Haruka-lite wasn't getting me very invested, but seeing the old cast was great. And they're all gearing up for action too, so hopefully we keep seeing a decent amount of them.
There's just something about Chihiro that's making it hard for me to like him. Maybe... it feels like we were rushed into seeing him as the hero? I don't expect to know everything about him right away, but his "I want to be human though I'm clearly in denial about not being one" shtick to be likable isn't working for me. Hell, I was taking to the rest of Team X more and felt really bad about what happened to them. Just some kids who got in over their heads. Good motivation for the one to join the exterminators though. And Iyu as another try at a Sigma seems like it could be interesting.

Just watched episode 4 today.
I noticed that whenever Iyu and the Elephant Amazon made any movement during the fight, the show would pipe in noises of their respective animals. I know that's been around since episode 14 whenever Iyu fights, but has that been a thing for all the other AotW too? |

So Real Talk: is Iyu a Rider?
She shouts Amazons when she transforms, which none of the wild Amazonz do, or Mamoru. She has a device she presses to transform. And she's specifically developed from Sigma, who was a "Rider" so far as this series has them. So is Iyu a Rider, or another Tackle?

She's no Rider since she has no belt. The armlet is the same one Chihiro's wearing and an upgrade to a medication device every Amazon had, only upgraded.
Sigma was resurrected like she was but got a belt, Iyu didn't. I wouldn't call her a Tackle either since she's no sidekick, she's just a special operations Amazon. Until the show decides otherwise that is. |

Alright, episode 4. Bit of a weird change of pace but I actually liked it. I did want to see more of Iyu after all and Chihiro growing is good too. I also like the guy not afraid to bluntly call him out for absolutely being an Amazon and not human.
I had noticed the crow noises whenever Iyu fought, but I don't recall picking anything else out until the elephant doctor. So now I wonder if the others had that as well. Speaking of the doctor... Yuck. I hadn't connected why he sniffed so much until this episode, because elephants don't eat with their trunks so that would be si-... NOPE. Totally has a tongue out of that. Gross. Hey the other team members can speak! Woahhhh. Who knew?? And Mamo! ...Why you so angry buddy? Aw...

Just watched the raw of 05. Mamoru has been bulked up considerably, and it's nice to have the first half focus on last season's crew more than the current guys.
That and it's good to see Iyu and Chihiro's teamwork has improved, with whatever Chihiro told Iyu during the fight.
