Yup, Sigma. Looks pretty awesome.
Not a huge fan of the all-black Condorer core though. It makes the handles look really disjointed. Aside from that, though, I'm a fan. Also, if I'm reading the official site correctly, they made this guy by using the Amazon cells on a corpse. So I guess Maehara did die after all. Darn that is morbid. Also I think it doesn't need to eat protein. |

Episode 9 was pretty creepy with the human flesh burgers and that one corpse in the fridge. Sigma looks pretty cool, but I wish there was more to him than a belt and a new color scheme to differentiate him from Omega's first form.

Episode 8 had an interesting twist were the one killing humans was an actual human. And while Haruka, and Nozomi for obvious reasons, wanted to go beast mode on him, Jim the rest of the squad drawing the line at only killing Amazons, kinda wish they went a little longer with this particular episode to explore that a little more. Although I'm pretty sure Nozomi got the last hit in so I guess it's good for now. Although I do think Haruka's sister is going to be really disappointed when they do meet back up.
Episodes 9, I like the concept of the Cannibal restaurant for the Amazons who are trying to not awaken. Disgusting, especially in the one scene you can see the poor bastards head in the background while the chef is grinding up the rest of him, but an interesting concept. But it does make Haruka's proclamation of "He'll protect who he want to protect" seem really naive at this point. Especially since he wanted let the ones eating the cooked people go because they haven't awaken, despite the fact they were eating people. But on a side note it is nice to see how close Haruka and the rest of the team are becoming, especially the scene where they're having some fun at Nozomi's expense. On a side note, her face was still a litlle scratched up from the previous episode, so bonus points for the continuity tough there As for the new Sigma, I'm going to have to go back and see because I can;t remember if he was the one who ended up being an Amazon or the one who was being eaten by him in those early episodes because I can't remember. |

Sigma was the one being eaten by the one team member who turned. Could have sworn they did a flashback to it in the episode.

In retrospect, watching this episode with lunch may not have been my brightest idea.
I think that's kind of the point: Haruka really doesn't have a solid grasp on what he's supposed to be doing and the last couple episodes have been all about challenging his morality. Does he allow bad humans to go unpunished? Does he allow harmless Amazons to die? His vow to his mother and Jin was a pretty black and white statement, but he's been finding himself in a huge sea of gray. I'm really interesting to see what he ends up doing, especially since he's surrounded by characters who have no problem committing themselves to a cause. I'm surprised, considering how off-putting I found him at first, but Haruka is by far my favorite part of this show, just because his evolution is going in such interesting directions. |

Sigma is kind of cool although it would have been nice if they had kitbashed some difference in the suit.
Is there any significance to the letter sigma though? Alpha and omega are first and last and possibly references to animal behavior but sigma seems a bit random. |

Been a while since I posted last, but the newest episode of Amazons was so good that it warrants my thoughts.
First off, Amazons is an amazing project with fantastic content, a great atmosphere, and solid pacing. I think its a great idea for Toei to expand their series like Marvel did with their Netflix series' and web-based streaming is an ideal platform for that. They are crafting a Kamen Rider series devoid of all the clutter in the Sunday morning shows and its really hearkening back to the early Heisei era's prime (no pun intended). As a whole, I enjoy the show so far, but a few of the episodes have been hit or miss. I hated episode 8, and episode 9 was subpar, but ep 10 was just amazing. The writing is good, the conflict setup is excellent, the action is amazing and the editing is tight. The introduction of Amazon Sigma is adding a great dynamic to an already well-written show (again, minus ep 8). This is Kobayashi working her last-quarter magic again. But man, I have to say it here - Ryuta Tasaki is probably the best director Kamen Rider has. Today's episode was extremely well shot. He knows how to frame and has an almost art-house style that's not prevalent in a lot of Toku directors. And his action direction, though not as bombastic as Sakamoto, is more grounded and is definitely fierce. I love this series, glad season 2 is happening, and I am excited to see what kind of projects could spawn going forward. Kuuga remake, anyone? |

There's no way Omega could survive an attack like that. Sigma's arm went through his chest! But in the preview it shows him being perfectly fine after some treatment of course. It makes me wonder if he has slme regenerative abilities.
