I definitely thought it was less compelling as a piece of adult-focused entertainment than Trio Of Deep Sin, though.

Amazons... I thought the first season was solid, the second season was almost incomprehensible, and the movie was one of the worst Kamen Rider things I've ever watched. Literally ruined a Christmas for me.

Ouch, that sounds troubling. I love a show like Build, where the setting gets progressively darker but the hero never succumbs to cynicism and always finds a way to bounce back and protect love and peace, or how in Amazons, Haruka wants to live as a human without eating anyone. I don't like the idea of a show that gets darker without having anything worthwhile to say about it. Violence is cool and all, but I'd rather that be secondary to the story and morals.
