Re: KR Amazons 01 released
The scene at 27:00--28:30 where the woman gets eaten (presumably) is going to be nightmare fuel for me
A rider that eats raw eggs... Poor actor...
I wonder what kind of Amazon Mamoru is

Re: KR Amazons 01 released
Mamoru's a mole. It's a reference to the mole kaijin who's super popular from the original Amazon.

Re: KR Amazons 01 released
The Mole Amazon is a throwback to the Mole Beastman in the original series. The Mole Beastman was originally a baddie who turned good.

I guess that makes sense. Though it's easy to get thrown off by the discrepancy between the letter and its actual rank.eijiman wrote:I think it stands for: B(at)-008 and S(pider)203 and 208MadCow wrote:On the other hand, I wonder who's the brilliant dude who introduced the ID codes in the first place.

Re: KR Amazons 01 released
I'm really not sure what to make of this series at this point. Is it horror? Drama? It feels like someone did a Toku-Horror mashup, but that may just be the first episode.
Either way its all very weird/foreign to me, especially the desaturated colors and the long quiet periods where essentially nothing happens. On the other hand the action scenes are done pretty well, especially the last one. Toei even managed to make the wire-work work, which is often a challenge for them.
I'm going to have to see if episode 2 makes any sense of this. I can deal with a slow opening, but by two episodes in I really expect a series to lay out its premise.

Re: KR Amazons 01 released
Maybe the ranks are not established until the amazon is awaken, the armbands seems to analyze their blood but only when the virus is active so it could tell them how much it has progressed, that would explain why the pharmaceutical company doesn't track them and kill them already.MadCow wrote:I guess that makes sense.

Re: KR Amazons 01 released
I had a similar thought. It feels more like a horror series than a Kamen Rider series. That being said, I definitely want to watch episode 02.ViRGE wrote:I'm really not sure what to make of this series at this point. Is it horror? Drama?

Despite going for 40 minutes, this episode didn't feel like it dragged on as do other series that have 40 minute episodes. After watching the opening scene, I was surprised to see that 20 minutes had passed. The first episode was definitely interesting and I'm excited to see how this series plays out.

Re: KR Amazons 01 released
Action... this is what a Kamen Rider show should be!
Love this team of exterminators or whatever (definitely like ZECT or BOARD) . Except these guys are no pushovers, same goes for the Amazons.. what a name.
I actually thought that Mamoru dude (though, wimpy as he is) was Alpha. Cause I already saw a preview on Haruka's henshin to Omega. Poor Mamoru is gonna be ignored haha.. its dark, gritty, violent.. something rarely seen in KR these days.
I am looking forward to future episodes.. keep it up, Amazons!!

Re: KR Amazons 01 released
I like the way the series is going so far. Darker, grittier and badass characters. Not the dancing crybabies they've been feeding us for the last few years. I haven't finished a series since Kiva.

Mamoru was also called M... for mole.
I'm liking this series so far, I wonder if Amazon will adapt it themselves if it gets popular enough. I wonder how long this show has been in talks for. There's been jokes at Toei about the amazon name now for a few years.

Re: KR Amazons 01 released
it was a good Pilot episode. yes its dark & gritty . which probably quite a revitalizing series for me since the first GARO.
kinda mix of KAMEN RIDER + NEXUS + GARO in my opinion, which make it clearly THIS is an adult toku show for adult audience.
gonna look for the 2nd ep now. hopefully it gets better and better.

KR Amazons 08 released
So is this a remake? Reboot? Sequel?
Also, is this my salvation from the recent Kamen Riders? Is this like their older works?

Re: KR Amazons 08 released
>So is this a remake? Reboot? Sequel?
Errr, seems like the kind of question that'd be better off in the episode 1 thread. But at this point, I think it's just a remake/reboot that draws on themes and visuals from the original.
>Also, is this my salvation from the recent Kamen Riders? Is this like their older works?
I haven't seen any of the older work, so I have no point of comparison. But this is darker and has more adult themes.

Re: KR Amazons 01 released
Awesome. Thanks for the answer! (When I say older, I mean like Black, Agito, 555, etc. I just miss the darker themes and serious tones.)
