Whaaaaa?!

That was my reaction exactly.

Kikaider?! FUCKING KIKAIDER?!

I just... DAFUQ?! Why Kikaider?! I don't know what to feel right now!

Kikaider in America. WHAT?!

The last time Kikaider came to the US was the anime series on Adult Swim several years ago around 2006 (I think). I guess Kikaider's popularity in Hawaii help support a US release. I do remember Toei did want to release Kamen Rider: The First at Film Festivals and Cons, but that never happen. At least we are getting a superhero toku movie in the US for once.

It's not the first time. Kikaider aired in Hawaii back in the 70s and still has a cult following there. I didn't know the anime had aired on Cartoon Network, but I did know that the Hakkaider movie from the 90s got a dvd release here, too. The new movie getting a US release is surprising, but far from unprecedented.

I actually remember when cartoon network aired Kikaider: the animation. Back when that aired, I didn't know that it was based on the live action show but when I rewatched it last year (and getting into Kamen Rider last year) that's when I learned about it's origins. Can't wait for the movie to arrive here.

That's pretty neat. I hope it succeeds.

Well neato. If it magically happened to have a showing near me I would so go to it.

Well, um like Subbed or Dubbed or what?
