That occurred to me, too. I hope not, though, because it implies that Izumi is dead and she was one of the best characters in season 1.

I thought we saw her at some kind of press thing for S2 at one point. I seem to remember something like that happening, but my memory is a little fuzzy.

Finally watched eps 1/14 and 2/15.

Holy crap this is one gory show. Like it so far, it's got everything - great actors, a good story, atmospheric music, cool fight choreography. The only things not working for me are the, frankly goofy, Amazon suits and the "too open" cinematography which "lets the zippers show", if you catch my drft. Still, a good watch so far.

Episode 3/16. GAH! This is such an odd show; it's "adult" but only in the same manner any horror movie is - not really. Amazonz' writing isn't any smarter than, say, Gaim or Ex-Aid - it's simple pulp, it's just drenched in gore, both of the digital and practical variety.

It's exactly what teenage Mars dreamt of in those gore heavy B-Movie days of the 1980s - superheros gone supermonsters.

As an adult, I suppose I wanted something a bit more sophisticated but, when I take it for what it is: horror designed with a teenage viewership in mind (let's get real, here), it's pretty awesome.

This episode reintroduces some old characters and, hey! the actor who portrayed Hojo in Agito and the weird Centipede Orphenoch in Faiz is here as Iyu's cannibalistic papa!

Amazon Alpha makes his season debut here and, in a turn you wouldn't expect for Kamen Rider, absolutely wipes the floor with Amazon Neo. Actually, Neo gets his head kicked in pretty regularly so far - hey, Ryuki, you ain't alone, bro!

The story takes some interesting turns concerning Iyu and Haruka and Chihiro's got an unfortunate "wrong place / wrong time" moment.

While I maintain the Amazons still look goofy, this episode is filmed a bit more moody; the elephant Amazon was particularly creepy (hope to see more of him)

Hyped for next episode with the return on Mamoru, who appears to have become a badass! Amazing what a bit of humanburger will do for an 'Zon!

Episode 2 the gore is real. That happened to Team kiss way sooner than I was expecting. Iyu backstory was pretty tragic, seeing how it also apparently effected the new team leader pretty deeply. And speaking of team, hey there's another one. Looks like the exterminator budget got an upgrade. Still hoping somebody punches that assistant in the face at some point, been waiting for it to happen sicne season 1.

In episode 3 I got the feeling that he is an Amazon or at the very least will become one. I am not sure why I got that feeling.

As long as he gets punched in the face.


I've been wanting to see that since he first appeared in season 1, I may have a problem lol.

Episode 3: Nice to see so many returning characters already, even if I totally confused Mopey Fish Girl for Kickass Knife Girl at first (in my defense, the former has different hair and it's been a year). I'm really surprised by Mopey Fish Girl's new role; that is totally not where I expected the character to end up.

I'm intrigued by the developments with Haruka. I guess he wasn't just living in the wild all this time. I'm really curious to see what he was doing with Iyu's father.

Most of the new characters are growing on me already. Chihiro is still a little underdeveloped, but I'm finding myself starting to like him more and more (even if he's apparently getting his sweaters from Micchy). Iyu is my favorite new character, though. She kind of reminds me of what Makai no Hana was trying to do with Mayuri, only it's being done competently here.

As before, I'm continuing to be bemused by Captain Codeine's bizarrely detached performance.

I liked how only one of the Team X members made it out fine, since one of them became an Amazon and the other one lost his leg because of it, mostly to show that this isn't kids stuff and hard hitting dose of reality. TBH, i'd be puking too if I saw someones scalp on the floor. I think Iyu is possibly the most tragic character in Amazons.

I loved this episode ending with Iyu tragi-chanting while Chihiro lay in a pool of his own blood gasping for life - only for the next EP to show the pair... GOING SHOPPPIIIIING!

Whooooaaa, my NECK!
