It's not 'one thing'. The pacing's much better due to the lower amount of episodes, meaning that a writer is pretty much forced to pace better.

[off-topic rambling] Are "not episodic" and "good pacing" really synonymous to people? I mean I kind of know the answer already but as someone who's always appreciated a good done-in-one story (especially since I got into Ultraman) I feel both are equally valid styles. I guess it's because watching TV is all about marathons now. "If I don't feel the urge to watch 7 episodes of a show at a time it must be bad" or something like that. [/off-topic rambling]

But yeah, Amazons was basically the s***. It's short and sweet, and it's not anything like any other Kamen Rider. Sometimes it gets (favorably) compared to The First/Next but frankly I think they were going for two totally different things. Those movies were "mature" on a very skin-deep level but Amazons' darkness is a natural result of the story it's telling. It reminds me more of Faiz than anything.
