Damn. Not as good as Armor Zone, but pretty damn cool.

Does anyone notice the reference? DIE SET DOWN = Daisestudan?

Ya know, now that I think about it, I don't think I know what the premise of this season is. I've read a little bit of the promo material and I think its suppose to be a love story but I'm not sure other then that. What's this about again?

Isn't Omega's suit supposed to have scars? What happened to those?

Takes place some years after the first series, new Amazon Neo is an Amazon hunting muthafukka has trouble being around humans because he desires to eat them. He meets a girl that intrigues him because that desire to eat is absent. Turns out that she is some badass avenging Amazon and whoooo boy iz that gonna be an awkward conversation.

Ah, thank you. One of the new characters was raised by the Amazons correct?

I honestly can't remember and my synopsis is probably off!

That's fine. I'll be watching it so enough. I just wanted a bit of a refresher before I did.

It's been five years. They're probably healed by now. I guess that then doesn't explain why Alpha still has his though.

I think his "scars" are actually stripes.

Nope. In the scene where Jin first injects himself with cells and transforms, his Amazon form doesn't have them.

Oh.

If y'all look really good, you can still see his markings.

Fairly sure he means these.

I thought the red was Omega.... >_>

I'm gonna exercise my fanwank skills and speculate the Amazon Register that keeps Omega looking all fancy also gives him better restorative abilities than Alpha.

Dude did have a hole punched through him that one time, after all.

Now that I'm thinking about it, yeah, Haruka being a unique type of Amazon probably has something to do with it. Maybe he just has better regenerative abilities than Jin does. After all, he's quite literally supposed to be an "evolution" of all Amazons, hence his belt jingle.

Does anyone know who's going to sub season 2?

TV-Nihon and Overtime did the first season. Unless they've said other wise, I don't see why they're not doing this one.

Simple answer: Jin picks at his wounds.




So I watched the raw last night. I like what I'm seeing, but subs are very much needed.

1. Crow Amazon is badass.
2. Neo has a cool sword, though it looks uncomfortable. Not sure if we've seen that sword in previews.
3. Alpha and Omega are not in the episode, which is probably a good thing for new
characters.
4. So need subtitles for a lot of things.

Also, I don't really like Die Sit Down from a purely aesthetic stand point. The flow of the song just feels janky.

Just finish watching the first ep raw.

Neo has some back story at the start which shows he was a kid and than save by the team.

The first fight with Neo was alright.

A lot of people are back from the team from season one along with new members as well.

Crow Amazon is very dark and creep in a badass way.

The second fight at the wedding was badass with everyone being there at the same time.

I think Neo will have more than one weapon kinda like how Omega had two to three weapons.

Overall the first ep had me wanting more will have to see what the subs say for now off to a very great start.

Damn I miss this show so much can't wait to see more.

Alpha is in the episode, although in the flashback from the intro
I do agree with you on the ending theme. It's not as good as Armour Zone.

Subs are out from Over-Time!

Watched the first episode and I'm....half impressed? I kinda liked it, didn't really think much of any of the characters yet but there's a lot of story groundwork that I really enjoyed.

While it's clear that the writers are going for a kind of parallel between season 1's Extermination Squad and Team X, it doesn't really change that they aren't all that likeable or fun to watch. Not really much to say on Chihiro yet as while Iyu is quite cool, she's so painfully cliche I thought I was watching anime for a second.

Not a fan of Neo's henshin either. I mean it looks cool but it's so distracting I'm suspicious that it's going to be intentionally used to obscure fights. Also no wonder Overtime didn't want to sub the belt, damn thing is completely unintelligible :lol

So yeah, Episode 1 didn't really wow me as much as Amazons did...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Getting the negatives out of the way first:

- Dear god, everything involving Team X is terrible. From their dancing in the side-lines of Chihiro's debut fight as Amazon Neo, to their "personalities" being exactly like those assholes I had to sit next to in highschool.

- Neo's debut fight was kinda lame compared to Alpha's or even Omega's debut fights. I don't know exactly why, but I think the perfect example is when we see Neo kill the policeman but then he proceeds to continue slashing at the corpse with the dialogue implying he's going too far, but Neo does the slashing so lazily I almost assumed he was checking to see if the body was actually dead rather than striking it out of anger.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On to the positives:

- Interesting to see the original members of the extermination squad go different ways, even after they sorta got back together at the end of M

- The dynamic with Team X always having an Amazon with a better detection abilities vs Kurosaki's team having an Amazon that can't feel pain is also really good.

- I was kind of worried how they'd handle Iyu when it comes to fighting, and thank god she's fully competent for a purposefully untrained fighter.

- Speaking of fighting, the second fight at the church was much better.

- The overall setup for the rest of the season is pretty good.

Crow amazon suit needs an SHF release IMMEDIATELY

fucking amazing design

I sure we will see it happen like it did for Mole Amazon.

I watched it raw so some of these probably will be answered already

First impressions:
-Slightly closer to current Kamen Rider seasons than season 1

-"Pretty boy lead" Chihiro

-What's the point of Chihiro's team? They just stood there unless I missed something- one of them even got mad at Chihiro -_-

- New hunting team members remind me of drug addicts that the corporation randomly hired

- Idk but Neo feels too technologically different compared to Omega and Alpha (probably because I'm not a fan of the belt, I don't like New Omega either, looks like it came from the A squad from SPD)

- Amazons in the first season seem more "natural" while these remind me of "kaijin of the week" in terms of their designs, more like I'm watching orphenochs

-Crow Amazon is badass af, woulda been cool if she was a mysterious villain instead, that creepy choir music is gonna haunt me later tonight

-I like the ending theme...not as cool as ARMOUR ZONE though

Not entirely hooked but Season one didnt really hook me till the third episode *Flying pillow feathers while Haruka joins in PLUS cool ost"

I enjoyed the first episode since it really had me feel like I’m not only watching episode 1 of season two but also just episode 14. I think they did a great job of getting me back into this world.

I think the action was cool, I liked both fights in this episode, and the suits are great.

Character-wise we don’t have anything to really care about right now but neither did we by the first episode of season 1 so I'm willing to give it some time.

If you don’t understand what Team X’s purpose is and if you hate them then you actually do understand what their purpose is. They want you to hate these characters as much as possible since they will die in the next episode. I mean I don’t know if they will, but the kid in the blue jacket turned into an Amazon and is eating the one in the red jacket in the preview so there you have it.

They will obviously kill off Team X in episode 2 so Chihiro can join the next iteration of the cleaners or something. So they want you to know right away how shitty these guys are and how Chihiro does not belong there.

Fair enough, but now I'm scared to think Chihiro will get the "Hayase syndrome" to where he'll feel bad about someone dying throughout the rest of the series just like how Kouta and Emu never forgot about Hayase's and Kiriya's death's.

Mind using a spoiler tag for the second death you mentioned? And even then, that second one was actually important and got character development before getting axed off

Who the hell is Hayase?! Do y'all mean Hase, as in Kamen/Armored Rider Kurokage?

Does anyone know where I can watch episode 1 subbed?

Here you go it's the last one.

Thank you for the link Justice. I finally got to watch the new episode. Loved it!!!

No problem dude.

Finally got around to watching the first episode, I thought it was a nice introduction to Neo so far, I like how his suit's a little more hi tech than the previous ones. And we have a new extermination squad but it still has Fukada. and while we did see the former Captain, I wonder if he realizes who his current tenants are, and the preview reveals that another familar face is showing up next. Speaking of the tenants, i wonder much of the whole Amazons ordeal 5 years prior became common knowledge seeing how these kids are actively hunting on their own. Who wants to beat thast their deaths are going to be live cast?

Although I am hoping we learn more about this new amazon strain as things go on. It's definitely a twist from how things were in the first season. And I'm also hoping we get some of that 5 year gap filled in as well, like what happened to the surviving gen 1(?) Amazons and the chairman from the previous season.

episode 2 subs are up.

I was struggling to contain my excitement when Haruka showed up.


I love when shows do shit like this. The protagonist from the previous season/series/game/whatever shows up as a rival/villain for the current protagonist. It makes it that much more awesome because you got to see this character grow and develop.

Which makes it hard for who to root for, like is Haruka a straight up villain now. This scenario kind of reminds me of DMC4 with Dante & Nero.
