“Kamen Rider Amazons is too edgy.” That’s part of the charm. It’s like watching a slasher movie

Kamen Rider Amazons Alpha - The Begining Omega - The End Sigma - The Deviation Neo - The new Neo Omega - The new End Neo Alpha - The New Begining

The gore part for me was actually tame it didn't affect me and that's something coming from someone who watcher horror gore films and slasher movie

"If being born is a sin, then living is its punishment" ...The Movie Ends like the Lyric of Season 2.

I personally love this interpretation of Kamen Rider Amazon and how they handled everything. Instead of *just* being mindless gore and action, it has good costume designs, great action, emotional and fitting music as well as proper story pacing and development for the characters in the story. I especially love how this series uses grey storytelling, where there are no predetermined or built-up heroes and villains. Instead there are moral dilemmas, with the characters (mostly the amazons) questioning their own humanity and actions. Trying to figure out who they are, what their reason for fighting is and if they're doing the right thing by hunting down and exterminating other amazons. Especially since some amazons haven't transformed and eaten people yet, which could have them be considered as innocent to some (especially Haruka). As well as how conflicting ideologies (mainly Haruka and Jin) can cause tension and changes for a character. As well as the consequences for the actions that the main characters make. And this is especially the case in Season 2, where normal humans are getting infected with a new type of Amazon Cell that can actually turn them into these man-eating monsters. And when it's discovered that Chihiro is the cause of these new Amazons and infectious cells because of how he was born. Which could have audience members wonder if killing him is really the right thing to do, or if he should live and receive help since he never meant to cause any of this and actually wants to live and help Iyu regain her humanity. Combining this with him consistently denying his amazon nature and fighting against his instincts, and you've got one interesting character. I also like how the series as a whole shows that despite how Nozama Pharmacy wanted to end the Amazon threat since they created it, many of the employees and higher ups had done immoral things mainly for profit or for experimentation. Showing that no one is infallible and can be changed for the worse or simply don't have the same moral concerns that others would. I also enjoyed how you connected and summarized the manga to the main series. Especially since it's extremely hard to come by outside of Japan.

I still say the most disturbing scene is Iyu's family dinner.

Honestly, Chihiro's story was the one that made me cry the most. People don't like him but dear God I love his story. It's tragic yet beautiful at the same time. He's just so desperate to be like a human. I really love his Arc.

The gory scenes that you warn us about with the guy exploding and Neo Origin? Perfectly fine. The clip of some guy putting an obviously fake eyeball in his mouth? nope nuh uh not having it no way

this is the first time you didn't say "a brand new toy"

One thing I liked is how some members of the Extermination squad used electric weapons that gave a semi-realistic reason for sparks to fly when they attack the monster. If the show gave color designations to each of the characters, they could have been a low key Sentai homage.

I feel like Kamen Rider The First, Next, Amazons, and Black Sun have the potential to be more mature remakes of shows. They don’t focus much on the gimmicks or toys, and the lack of story allows them to flesh out other parts of Rider seasons in a mature presentation. Sure you can still market off these entries but the core basis is storytelling older Rider shows with a more realistic and “adult” approach. These entries can still be Rider shows, just in a whole new universe

47:03 Basically the story of The Promise Neverland

You notice when soon to be dragon boy appears one of the people he’s with is wearing a blue and white jacket later found on his character in KR Build, little reference maybe?

I actually like Neo Alpha's design because it's kinda like a militaristic take on the Amazons

I like how the filter goes from green to not green

I understand why its called Last Judgement, it heavily referred to Haruka and Jin Caution: This post contains spoilers .... ..... ... .... ... .. Jin created the Amazons and he's one of the main researchers of the project. He became an amazon after the outbreak of the Amazon occurred. In the 1st season, his main goal is to kill all of the Amazons so that he can be at peace. But in the course of Season 2, it became his obsession; caring little of protecting humanity in order to carry on in his main objective. When he impregnated Nanaha, later gave birth to Chihiro, he felt guilty that he caused Nanaha's conversion into an amazon and responsible for creating the Lysogenic cells. He was trying to regain his humanity, that was Nanaha; but after she died by the HP Round, he lost the only one he loved/ lost his humanity. In the movie, He's a shell of a man, now just a wild beast. He's suffering externally and internally. He's chained by his obsession of killing every Amazon alive. He's still trapped from his ideal and obsession. Nanaha represent his angel in the movie; seeing Nanaha symbolize that he's slowly dying. Before he continues in his goal, he confesses to her that he had to complete his goal no matter what happened to him. He now became an Amazon of his own fruition; the only person who can set him free is of course Haruka. In the final fight, he tell Haruka that one of them must survived; Haruka killed Jin but in the wake of the battle, he was set free and able to reunite with Nanaha. Haruka's ideology is completely different from Jin's. In the 1st season, he was struggling to find his identity if he's whether human or amazon. After the events of Project Tialoc, he found a purpose in his life; as a guardian of the Amazons. His idealogy was to protect everyone whether Human or Amazon while accepting his Amazon side. He had a moral code of not eating any living thing and not to kill humans. In the 2nd season, Haruka has become more mature as he did accept his Amazon nature. But before the events of Season 2, he felt responsible for not only spar Jin's life, but let Chihiro alive when he discovered that Chihiro is one of the origin points of the Lysogenic cells. In the movie, he became questioning the morality of humans eating herbivore amazons. He proclaimed that its part of life to live or die for your own. When Haruka was critically injured, Muku offered her life to Haruka in order to survive and continue protecting the Amazon children. To reiterate, Jin provoked Haruka to not hesitate in killing him. Even though Haruka killed Jin, he felt that he committed a sin that broke his morality: Killing a human (even though Jin is a type 2: Amazon) and eating an Amazon.

A small correction to be made is that Nanaha didn't gain Amazon cells because of Chihiro's birth, it's because he bit her while breastfeeding as a baby.

I loved Amazons. I assume the season did well, and I wish it had opened the door to more mature Kamen Rider series or more Showa reimaginings One thing I loved about the Neo designs (barring Omega), was the fact that the Neo drivers make it looks like the armor is containing the Amazon. The helmets especially having the bars over the mouths like they're a muzzle to prevent the Amazon from biting. They've been weaponized. An attempt to control these monsters. Almost EVA like

I like your reference to deadmeat for the golden chainsaw

My main problems are that it's too reliant on cgi blood Plus I wanted to see Chihiro fight both Jin and Haruka and not just a freeze frame Edit: oh ye and Haruka's armlet somehow not running out and the occasional slow and lasy fight choreography Like in episode 8 of season 1

You can’t keep ooo and ex-aid waiting forever Marcos! You’ll have to get to it eventually! Also, Kamen rider Amazons is really great

Ey, I saw that dead meat reference there

I’m gonna go watch magical girls next and NOT OOO or Ex-Aid 😎 Thank you all for watching, I hope this HoKR was worth the wait 😄

This is Mortal Kombat levels of violence man. The blood man. Fatalities and Brutalities everywhere.

I like to think when Jin was sipping the blood from the livestock amazons his eye sight was slowly coming back.

Amazons is one of the greatest Kamen rider series 🤩

are we just not gonna talk about the fact that he originally uploaded it yesterday as History of Kamen Rider Amazons-part 1 with only season 1 being covered then took down the original video and reuploaded it with both seasons?

This was one of my two most favorite Heisei Era series with the other one being Kamen Rider: Ryuki.

Can’t wait for history of Zio, whenever that is.

When i was watching this video back, I uncontrollably teared up when I saw Mamoru's yen necklace. I wish we coulda had a happy ending for him, but fate is what it is. (not i wish he had a happy ending in terms of the storytelling, but i feel bad for him being pushed down the path he did)

49:05 I know I've said I don't really care for this show but yea, those freaking theme songs, so good.

Amazon has a weird place in my heart. Jin, usually a character I wouldn't like, was my favorite and yet when he finally was put down, I didn't cry or felt bad. It felt like it was neccesary. On the other hand, man, Mamoru is the only Amazon I truly felt bad for. He was like an exotic pet introduced to the wild and the extermination service wanted to believe in coexistence with Amazonz once more thanks to Mamoru...but that was never possible :'(

Your best video yet! Amazons truly is the best of what Kamen Rider is since Kuuga. Keep up the great work Marcos!

Amazons Season 2 was a big step up visually and sound-wise. More dynamic cinematography, purposeful cuts and transition, and genuinely unnerving gore scenes. That alone made the season more entertaining to watch for me.

Honestly my biggest problem with Season 2 was that it introduced so many new and interesting things and characters... only to just throw it all away by the end. It made it feel like most of it didn't matter, and after hearing you talk about what happens in the movie, it sounds like none of it did matter for the most part. Season 1 is amazing though and an easy recommend... if you can handle the violence that is.

Loved this can't wait for the next history video. Was always interested in kamen rider but your videos have made me a die hard fan mate

"Rend, slaughter, devour your enemies! There is no other way to survive; you cannot escape your hunger, warriors of Purgatory!"

Jin has the saddest story, I would say. Still, Amazon was my favorite rider series. It was so cool.

I love Amazon's even seson 2 even with the problems but other than that I loved it it has become my favourite rider series. Also in my opinion it has the best henshin transformation as they just explode.

Jesus. So amazing I literally just woke up got on KZfaq and this is the first thing I see. Hell yes I wanna wake up to a history of Kamen rider video please. Thank you Marco for making my day and for making this history of video. Also I only recently got to see the movie. Why hasn't amazon just picked up the movie?? Anyway please stay awesome and keep Tha awesome vids coming

Your effort really shows in this whole video! You deserve a break!

For most kids, Amazons can be as a horror movie and this video's intro prove it

I loved the fights in amazons it felt much more animalistic and just felt more raw compared to most seasons

I love Amazons and I know i'm gonna get killed for this but I love Season 2 as much as Season 1

I think you said it best: Amazons is Raw. It's not the stylized fighting of modern Super Hero Time, where everything is cleaner and more streamlined. Where injuries can happen but you don't see a body get mangled or bones poking out of a fracture (for good reason, mind you). Amazons being for mature audiences allows for showing your fighters injuries in a more realistic (perhaps a better word would be savage or animalistic) fashion. Which is quite fitting considering the season is about hunting down people that turn into wild animals that eat humans. For the longest time, I couldn't decide if I honestly liked Amazons or if it was a guilty pleasure. A big part of that is the second season, as I commented back in the preview video: binge-watching the season may give a different experience, but watching week to week was excruciating, especially because of those middle episodes that focused on Chihiro and Iyu. Hiroki also feels like he has no reason to be there beyond the end of Team X, and him getting in the way time and time again in the final arc got annoying really fast. As a side note, New Omega has to be the only upgrade in all of tokusatsu that feels weaker than its previous form. A lot of it has to do with the fact that it arrived by the end of the season and didn't get a chance to demonstrate its strength, but still; it's actually impressive how much Haruka got his ass kicked right after he started using New Omega.

this was badass bro, keep it up, your videos are awesome

Amazon Riders is amazing i loved this video it was good to see a stray away from what we usually see in Kamen Rider

I loved amazon when I watched it and I love the review/history you did of it 😊

I've been waiting for this for 3 years,thank you.

i love both seasons. Yasuko Kobayashi outdone herself with this series. another fact that you might forgot to put is that junglaider for amazons is actually retooled of gills raider

I still wonder how the actor was able to stomach raw eggs*, as I can barely handle cooked eggs on their own *(even if he threw up after he still didn’t flinch after downing an egg)

I 100% percent agree with your assessment of season 2

Amazons was my first venture into Kamen rider and I will love it forever for that.

Fresh off of finishing season 2. Haruka Mizasawa I quickly loved and I continued to enjoy his changes as the show went along. Also I thought Chihiro and Iyu were interesting, especially with Chihiro questioning why they can’t live. I knew Chihiro had to die by the end of the season when I saw the Neo Origin scene. Also I noticed amazons when they turn to amazons have different transformations in their skin before fully transforming, but with the new amazons they all had the same as Chihiro which I thought was cool. One last thing there’s a shot with Hiroki and a banjo behind him which I thought was a funny coincidence

I will say this: any version of Amazon would be the perfect guest character in mortal Kombat

Just when I'm going to sleep.Well played Marcos.Well played.

I loved amazons simply because of the music and the availability

Both series and the film are all bittersweet, as it was satisfying to finish them, as on 1 hand, I really wish that we get to see more of what happens after 'The Last Judgement', but on the other hand, I believe it was the perfect ending to it all. So, bittersweet.

You're videos make me happy

When Mizuki chased after Haruka with the golden armlet, I always thought of it as an owner trying to welcome her pet back home with a shiny new collar. And I always wondered if Haruka felt just a little bit the same way.

Nice video yet again

The sigma thing wasn't really dropped. I mean, Maehara was, but he died so...oh well. But isn't Iyu part of the Sigma project?

I think Amazons in great, and even though there are gore that I understand is required for the scene, there are unnecessary ones as well. But I don't see the hate on Season 2. It's not as good as Season 1 but it's still pretty good. One thing I hate about the suits is that when they fight, it's so cheesy to see CG blood but the actual suits remain shiny. They don't portray the feel of being "skin". But the suit designs are awesome.

Finally, someone realize Chihiro is 5 years old. They were legit killing a child. Sure the actor is well over that age but the character was not. I kind of prefer the ending of season 2 actually. Literally a father killing his child, sure Jin is being through with his mission but we do see throughout the season that he does care for nanaha and Chihiro.

Great show! Watched it on Amazon Prime Video! 👍👍👍👍

Those amazons wallpaper u got behind u on the screen is awesome...i want!

4:39 I love how Jin was resting his elbow on the truck horn.

Damn, no "History of The First" unlucky

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one to think that Season 2 was better than Season 1.

I hated Season 2.. Until Jin Reappeared and everything got revealed..

Heck yeah let's go most bloody rated Kamen rider series with awesome openings and different main character motives.

Honestly the part that hit me most was the tragedy of Chihiro and Iyu

Great job and I can't wait for what comes next.....(Either it was Ex aid or OOOs)

you could say that "Jin eats Nanaha's Jellyfish" lol

I'm so embarrassing that i watch the whole series without knowing the storyline -_-

I feel so bad for Kurosaki, his whole attitude is "What the fuck?"

Amazons is by far my favorite kamen rider series, thanks for doing this

I love Kamen Rider Amazons. It's one of my favorite KR series. Can you cover Shin Kamen Rider Prologue(which Amazons is basically the spiritual successor of), and the two mid-to-late 2000s Kamen Rider reboot movies, The First and The Next.

This was my first Kamen Rider show I finish and it was super great and iam happy what they did with the show and I hope we see this Amazon Riders come back in crossover movies with other hero or Kamen Riders

I love it and it’s full of gore

I will agree, that the BGM is awesome.

I actually like how dark this version of Kamen Rider Amazon is

So why do some Amazon’s look like monsters but others looks like armored fighters like how Haraka first looked mrore monster like but after that he looked the way he does.

I really enjoyed this series and I didn't mind season 2. I just felt like there was a lot of issues with some characters' decisions about Chihiro, but that was my nit pick. I over all feel like Kamen Rider Amazons (Amazon Riders) was pretty good and is in my top tier of Rider Series.

Kamen Rider Amazon=Tokyo Ghoul Except we have Jin, wooooooooh!!!!

1:12:00 its because Faiz had already took most of the cool Greek letters, so he's stuck with Neo Alpha

why haruka try to kill chihiro, no point cause chihiro wasn't infecting people, plus Jin started this not him!

I’ve never been a fan of Kamen Rider but always in the mood to watch these kind of videos, toys, etc since Decade 😂 I can see why people are fans of the show! I just love to see everyone’s appreciation for the series overall! I should watch the show, but want to watch it with “official” or at least good subs

Ryusuke and Ryuji are played by the same actor? Wow. So I guess I did meet someone from Amazons at the 2018 PMC.

I ain't neva seen so many ads other than that dope

The amazon sigma project with ryuusuke wasnt dropped. As called out in season two, Iyu is a sigma amazon, one made of a reanimated corpse. She was made because they needed an amazon they could rely on. And I can only assume the replica/sigma amazon driver was ditched due to its ties to tachibana's abomination in the words of Mr. Nozama. Plus in season 1, tachibana had made arrangements to make more sigmas, but it probably got cut off with the success of tlaloc. The one thing about sigmas i dont get is how theyre related to the amazon farms. He called it a sigma project, but the cattle amazons werent sigmas.

I thought I heard Marcos say Gatack was his favorite rider of all time. But I can certianly agree with him that Amazons and Haruka are certainly the best of the best.

Alright, 2 questions: 1. Could you list your favorite toku writers and their works? 2. Was GAIM on HBO?? And it flopped?

13:41 - 13:53 OMG 😟😰😨😲😯😯😮😧😩🤢 this scene has me terrified of This Kamen Rider's Insanity!!! 26:52 BANJOU RYUGA?! 35:39 this is the same building where hazard build fights Blood stalk & he attacks cross-z and kills one of a trio team. It's also in Revice. 47:50 - 48:04 When i Face the boss At max level!!!

This treatment Amazons got is what is making me excited for Kamen Rider Black Sun

I have to agree with the Tokucast that Amazonz s2 comes straight up from a fan fiction

this series was my first kamen rider show

I love the soundtrack

Fkn love amazon! Fkn love it! Edit. Thank you Marcos!

Miraheze: "Kamen Rider Amazons is bad" Me: *Jonah Jameson laugh*
