A-MA-ZON!

Just finished episode 4. Really glad to have Amazon speaking more or less proper Japanese now. I mean, yeah I did enjoy him being the wild man, it made for a nice bit of something different, but after a few episodes of it we really did need to move on to having our hero actually speak, and that that also led to the cutting back on narration was a blessing.

Story moved forward a touch as well. Not much, mind, but Amazon at least has a bit of an idea as to what the hell is going on and some of the forces that are at work, so that's something.

And you know, the fight scenes, I like 'em. They're raw, they're dirty, it's like watching two animals go at it and I like that. They feel like just really brutal scuffles, real tooth and nail, literally, stuff.

Really just having a lot of fun watching this season. It kinda reminds me of when I was watching Fourze the first time. While the mood and tone aren't exactly the same, as you can definitely tell that Amazon isn't really trying to be over the top goofy, and the music and some of the shots obviously show an attempt at being serious or dramatic, it's just it's age makes it come across..like a really old Japanese toku show. But yeah, just..it reminds me of Fourze because I'm just having a good, fun time watching it, and after having just finished a season as dark and depressing as Faiz, it's kinda nice to have one I can just sit back and laugh my way through.
