I think like with anything, context matters. I don't know how I'd feel about Amazons if I just watched it in a vacuum, but watching Gavv, then Drive and then Build, while I liked parts of those shows, and Gavv overall I enjoyed in general, they all display for me what are some of the worst trends of Heisei Phase Two going into Reiwa in that everything is just so loud and gimmicky and Amazons is free of almost all of that. Maybe the sheer relief of being free from the endlessly jangling keys stuck to a CGI megaphone made me way more positive than I would have been on Amazons otherwise, obviously it is impossible to say, but I guess my whole commentary on Amazons is not that I necessarily loved the story or the characters, I was just glad that when people transformed the Driver didn't spend 13 minutes screaming in English as elevator music blares over the top and some awful looking CG construct doesn't shoot out of the floor to transform the Rider.
