Damn nobody reviewed this, It's a shame because this show deserves it so much! this is my first review ever in this site, and it's for a Kamen Rider Series....

It's been a long time since we have seen a proper Kamen Rider series again, with intriguing story and a ot of character depth, also an animal based rider design mixed with blood and awesomeness!

As a kid I grow up watching Kamen Rider series such as Agito, Ryuki, Blade, Faiz, and other similiar shows, those shows was suprisingly dark with a lot of twist and amazing character development, as a kid I've always preferred Kamen Rider shows a lot more than another superheroes show because I personally enjoy their stories more. The reason why I like Kamen Rider was because they're different with the usual childish Super Sentai, or Power Rangers which has the premise similiar to what the current Heisei Rider is going for...

KAMEN RIDER ISN'T CHILDISH!!! :(

For me, Kamen Rider has always been more mature than Super Sentai/Power Ranger, and they don't exist only to sell toys, which is what the current franchise are doing. They exist to teach us the path of heroes where they overcome hardships and become the hope of humanity, damn hahaha I tried hard to be deep there ;)

Anyway here's a summary about this show.

Amazons is a story about Haruka Mizusawa who's an amazon, a monster inside a human skin whom is the result of lab experiment that's done by his own mother, because of his nature Haruka was imprisoned in his own room by his mother not knowing the fact that he himself is a monster.
One day he decide not to take the medicine thats given regularly to him because it hurts him and he's sick of it, because of this his monster nature awakens and he runs berserk for the first time, and later fought with Jin Takayama, another amazon who has some sort of belt that can make him control his power. Intrigued by Haruka's power Jin takes him to his home and explains everything to him, about Amazons and the fact that he's one of them, and the fact that they ate humans lol.
Thought, Jin never ate a human before and he explains that he hunts down amazons like him and he someday will hunt Haruka too if he begins to ate humans, after sometimes Jin is gone leaving Haruka alone with his girlfriend Nanaha, whom later gives Haruka the same belt as Jin, and made him became one of the Riders to find the purpose of his existence.

I really recommend the show guys, I hope my brief synopsis helps, this is my first time ever reviewing a series lol, I hope it helps! so here is my rating:

Story 8.5/10

The story about humanity and amazon is amazing, I also love the different point of view of our two amazon, Haruka and Jin, it's 8.5/10 for me.

Acting 7/10

Yeah the actors are kind of bland, maybe because they are newbie, but the story make up for it.

Music 8/10

Dark and appropriate to the atmosphere, I also love that theme song, Armour Zone!

Rewatch Value 7.5/10

Will not be as thrilling as the first time, but it will still be a decent time.

Overall 8/10

Recommended! Especially if you love dark Kamen Rider shows

OMG Yang Sejong is such a discovery after watching this, I have never seen him in any drama before (Yeah I haven't watched Romatic Doctor Teacher Kim yet), but boy... he is the pillar of this drama!

Story 8/10

I love the scifi elements mixed with the mistery and detective stuff, though despite that I found later in the story that the father and daughter kidnapping plot is getting a little bit repetitive, and the clone stuff was far more interesting, still, the writer choose to focus on the father and daughter plot more instead. Also, there are some plotholes and questions that the writer hasn't answered yet in the end, which is unsatisfying for me, but overall, it was a nice thriller scifi mystery drama, so an 8 score is deserving.

Acting/Cast 9.5/10

YANG SEJONG IS THE NEW GOD OF ACTING!
Anyway he is so good at potraying three people, it feels like they are really three different persons, the cop ahjussi is good too, the acting was stellar except for the two actress in this drama that were kinda... so so, they are the Doctor Mom, and that Mirae girl.

Music 8.5/10

Music is appropriate to the scenes, overall I like it enough.

Rewatch Value 7/10

The thriller and suspense will not be as good as the first time watching it.

Overall 9/10

It was such a beautiful story overall plotholes aside, because of this... nowadays I'm anticipating Yang Sejong's future project after this drama, I'm now becaming his big fan, without him, this drama will be nothing, his characters are the most interesting thing out of this drama.
