Cheese and rice, I forgot how violent this show can get. The flashback to Iyu's death and the scene where the Team X kid went crazy... damn, those were brutal.
I'm generally enjoying the show so far, but I'm having a couple issues. The leader of the new Amazon hunter squad is really annoying. The actor is playing the role way too low key; I'm not sure what he's going for, but he comes off like he's been chugging codeine between scenes. I'm also having trouble with Chihiro. I got annoyed with how long Haruka's backstory was dragged out, but it seems like they're doing the opposite with Chihiro. I don't buy his concern for Iyu (who is goddamn fascinating, btw) since we know so little about his character. I'm sure this will get filled in, but it isn't working for me so far because I don't know the character well enough yet to buy his motivation here. I did like Haruka's arrival, but I kinda wish now that we'd gotten a longer break between seasons. The badass return of the first season's hero is less imposing when he still looks like a weenie high schooler. |

Raw for episode 3 is out, and for anyone who is worrying about Haruka
He isn't the one behind the whole Aroma Ozone water cooler thing, In fact, he is the reason Iyu still have a body for resurrection, as he killed her father before he can start feasting on her. This episode's Amazonz seems to be Elephant, and an Anteater. Not sure about the Anteater though, she acts like one, but she also have insectoid features like antenna and insect legs on her back. Next week Amazonz includes Butterfly, Soldier Ant and Mole. My guess is they are of the original 4000. |

Did you expect someone like Faiz with a depressing deep voice or Blade with his sunglasses before he kick Tsukasa's ass? I almost forgot tsukasa wore his sunglasses in Kamen Rider Wizard's finale. Amazon season 2 did felt like a year or two have passed instead of five. |

Episode 2 was damn. I had to remind myself that this was Kamen Rider. Also does anyone else feel hungry after watching the episode or just me?

I kinda want him to be more like Jin was in season one. The dude's been living with a community of Amazons in the wilderness for the last five years, it should reflect in his appearance at least a little. I'm not saying he needs a beard, but scruff up the hair and little and lose the neatly ironed white shirt.

So Japanime presented a very interesting theory.
They said that Chihiro has been experiencing "rapid growth" and they also threw a line in there about him "eating his mother". Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha can be seen in Chihiro's flashback, back in the distance. What if Chihiro is the offspring of Izumi and Jin? And he ended up eating Izumi? He constantly reminds people that he isn't an Amazon, perhaps it's because he's literally mostly human? And now Jin has fully resolved to take out his own kid, once again adopting his "ALL Amazons must die" philosophy.
