"We now go live to local Kabuto fan: The Overlord, for their reaction."

"AAAAGGGGIIIIITTTTTTOOOOO!!!!!!"

"Thank you for that."

In all seriousness, this was an unexpected surprise. Potential International release also has me hyped.

Oh, man, YES. If this thing is even a fifth as good as Paradise Regained was, I am in for a treat. This is amazing news! Now confirm Houjou's return!!!

This just came up as an argument against two pages earlier:

Yeah and I'd apply what I said there too.

I can't believe we were bamboozled in the best way possible with an Agito movie. Shouichi!!!!
How insane an Agito story is this going to be with Inoue penning it...

Looks like I may or may not have an official excuse to do a Kamen Rider Agito rewatch sometime this year. We'll see.

Agito movie synopsis

So from this article.

Looks like this is what the final bit meant.

LFG :rock: :rock:

Hells fucking yeah. Ready to go, count zero.

The cast list has everyone returning except for Gills, which makes sense because his actor retire following some really bad scandals.

Key visual for the film.

Damn, that is quite the poster.

Random thought. What if Hikawa becomes this at the end of the movie?

Well, for Gills, peace is the best fate. Although, as a bonus, they could very well release a chibi mini-anime depicting the 24 years of his suffering after the show ended.

Well, that's a good initiative, considering the large number of adult fans and Japan's overall trend toward an aging population. I wonder if the anniversary films of Faiz and OOO should be retroactively included in the Chronicles? Thematically, they're quite appropriate.

Enough to make the G4 movie look like the sanest work ever made.

Other than the title sounding like a bad GENM CORP video game, good to know the other options aren't off the table. I want to see Be The Two, Eyecon of the Beginning and Survive Grand Prix!

Congrats on your 3100th post!

This tells me we're likely to see the Kabuto anniversary movie as well.
Considering the Gills helmet, I'm wondering if they're going to kill him off off-screen.

Thanks!

Highly likely, judging by that poster.

Ah, poor Gills!

Looks like Agito might be my next Kamen Rider show to watch after my Gundam Mania is satisfied...

8 more cast members have been announced, including Hiroaki Iwanaga (Akira Date/Kamen Rider Birth from OOO) and Kokoro Aoshima (Tsumuri from Geats):

Wow! Unexpected and very interesting.

The first actress listed, Yuchami, is apparently playing Kamen Rider G6.

A female Rider in a movie written by Toshiki Inoue. This will end well for her.

Is that Hikawa on the left?

Her photo gives me strong Lady Battle Cop vibes:

But either way, I'm all for more police riders.

I'm sure Girls Remix won't forget about her.

I don't believe so.

Wow, I haven't seen this in ages. The nostalgia hit me hard just now. :lolol

New Agito movie poster and a look at Kamen Rider G7.

Cool. Although for G7 the costume designers, for my taste, got too carried away with accessories.

Hikawa: I am Iron Man. :lolol

It feels too modern for me. Too much like a regular Rider and not like a dude wearing body armor.

Hikawa finally gets his true Final Form!

I wonder if Shoichi is going to Henshin at all? He looks like he's doing his transformation pose on the poster.

They picked a really oddly color grade or rather one without post processing like the movie itself. When it's made to look like the movie, it looks much better.

I have a feeling Shoichi will play the Ichimonji to Hikawa's Hongo judging by the teaser video. Shoichi will probably still have his moment of glory as Agito, I think.

It is so weird that, for a movie called Agito, it doesn't seem to be focused on him at all. I get that Jun Kaname is a much bigger star than Toshiki Kashu, but this is definitely a unique approach to an anniversary movie.

Now see, if the movie was called Kamen Rider Agito: Supernatural Power War I'd get it being weird. But it's just Agito: Supernatural Power War.

And remember, Agito is not exclusive to the Kamen Rider himself, the power is very much just called Agito. And as we can see in the new promotional material, there are Agitos running around. So like, the title actually makes a lot of sense if Shoichi isn't transforming lol

And also kind of starts to make you wonder about the other Rider Movies that may be real that don't have Kamen Rider in their title.

Agito is also the name of the species hunted by Unknowns. Notice the lack of "Kamen Rider" in the title.

EDIT: Ninja-ed by En-chan.

Touche. It's been a long time since I watched the show, so I forgot that detail.

Considering that Hikawa was my favourite in this show, I don't mind.

Hikawa was also the real main hero of Agito, so.
