Amazon episode 15.

Man they changed the ending theme up on me. Well, still pretty much the same song, but I liked the other verse better. Onore Garanda Empire.

This episode was really boring though, otherwise. It's the first truly just generic Showa Rider episode. I like, have watched this exact episode some fifty times already in other shows. Amazon is now pretty much a standard hero and the antagonists are back to being this big shadowy organization scheming and kidnapping and...eh. I guess Gedon had traces of this too, but since their entire goal was a more focused "get the Gigi Armlet" it felt...I dunno. More personal I guess? It meant the show was About Amazon, the plot was him and he was the plot. Now it's back to "let's rule the world" and Amazon is merely a hero standing in the way. I can't really say I like it.

For what it is worth, though, episode 14 was pretty rad. A fitting enough end to Gorgos, and, though I still think he looks dumb, he will be missed.

Also, I thought I hated the red followers, but the black ones are somehow even worse? At least the red ones were fashionable, the black followers look like...Shocker minions with awful wigs or something. Eh. Speaking of followers, that one episode with the lady that betrayed Amazon. That was weird. She just revealed she had been a follower all along...and banished? Like. That sure went somewhere. Huh.

Mole Beastman remains the highlight of this show. I want a figuarts bad, man. I can only dream.
