I enjoy the first ep, like others have said it's got that gritty early heisei feel with maybe a hint of the 90s era, (The Amazons' transformations really reminded me of how Shin Transforms) Also wasn't it Kuuga's director who did this episode?t
I do wonder if they'll keep this strictly in it's own bubble, it would be interesting if the original Amazon makes an appearance, there's nothing atm that can stop it connecting to the original show.

Amazons is doing better than I first thought.
Here's hoping we'll see more like this. It's good to have a mainline Rider and a more adult focused one as it's always nice to have options. |

Until yesterday, I thought Amazons would essentially be 5-10 minute extended commercials, like all the other net-based Toei Toku stuff. I have never been so thrilled to be wrong. 'Cause holy crap, this was so much better than it had any right to be.
I loved the first episode to bits. It was pulled straight out of the early Heisei Rider playbook, and I never thought we'd see anything that felt like Heisei Rider again. I love it when Kobayashi goes dark & serious, and with only 13 episodes, we can be assured that there won't be any of the pointless filler in the middle that often throws Kobayashi's yearlong toku series off course. Honestly, a 13 episode Kamen Rider series that isn't as beholden to the commercial reality of being a toy commercial for toddlers is something I've dreamed of for years. It really feels like the streaming venue is a place where creators can potentially take a lot of risks. Dare I dream of a Super Sentai equivalent? If that happened, my heart might literally explode. Here's hoping Amazons does super well and justifies more projects in this vein. |

Yeah that could work too if they do it right.
