Team Kamen Rider announces "Rider Week."
 

April 3-10.

"In 2021 Kamen Rider turns 50! Join us April 3rd - 10th for Rider Week! A week of celebrating all things Kamen Rider!

There will be livestreams, movie premieres, guests & announcements in collaboration with TOEI TOKUSATSU WORLD OFFICIAL! Stay tuned."

We're surely getting a new sub announcement or two, right?

I wouldn't doubt if they atleast revealed the results of the survey they held last year.

inb4 everyone voted gaim

What was the survey again?

Directly asking the fanbase which season of Kamen Rider they'd like to see get official subs next.

I voted for Zero-One, myself.

I probably voted for Ex-Aid, then.

Hopefully we get another series release announced. At least we have confirmation of more movies, and partnership with Toei's YouTube. I have a good feeling about this.

Now if they announced that team rider US was expanding internationally, that'd be great.

Oh, I completely missed the 'movie premiere' bit, that's right!

Though... I'm a bit worried it'll be the same kind of 'release' that the Gaim soccer movie got.

Yeah that's the only part that worries me about the 'Movie Premieres'

Because Gaim's lasted for less than 12 hours post premiere and was one of those "You have to be there no matter what" days, which is a shame for people who would want to try and catch it even a bit later like next day or the next.

You can take this with a grain of salt, but my friends at Bandai US tell me the top 4 Heisei series in popularity within the US are in order:

Build
OOOs
Gaim
Double

Also, the Kamen Rider initiative over the past year was considered a huge success and there's a lot of cool stuff coming as a result. I'm pretty stoked for this Anniversary celebration. 50 is such a milestone for any franchise. It makes me think about all my favorite shows from the 80s and 90s that I still celebrate despite not having any form of new media and just an occasional new collector toy here and there.

Cool, Build would be my second pick.

You know what they should do: RELEASE MORE THAN THE FIRST TWO EPISODES OF EACH KAMEN RIDER SERIES!!!!

Except that every series that has more than two episodes doesn't get official subtitles for them.

Those four are pretty unsurprising -- I see them talked about a LOT within many corners of the fandom, and in general there's a trend towards Heisei phase 2. I wouldn't be surprised if Den-O and Kuuga weren't far behind, mind.

I'll admit to being a bit surprised that Gaim isn't higher but perhaps the love for that is just louder than it is predominant.

I am definitely looking forward to this! Maybe they'll announce official Blu-Ray and DVD releases of Kamen Rider, maybe the next series' trademark will be revealed as well, since it's usually around April we get word of it. And if they premiere any Rider movies I have interest in, I'll try to see it when it comes out.

The trademark may be filed, but Toei won't officially announce it until June or July.

Okay, my bad. Thanks for clearing that up, I don't know the exact details of these things, so I really appreciate your information.

New fan here - Figuarts reveals? (fingers crossed)

Would love to see Rampage Vulcan and All Zero

Think there was an Ikazuchi showed earlier but no release date?

Wrong event to ask for that, friend. BUT, Tamashii Nations will be holding a 50th anniversary Kamen Rider event in TM Tokyo on April 2nd. They'll be revealing a new item there.

Sweet! Hopefully they'll announce a new series (they've GOT to, right??), but three new movies is still something. As long as they actually stay this time

Sounds like fun. Here's hoping the movies stay up for either forever or a decent period of time.

first reveal from the livestream: Figuarts Saikou X-Swordsman!

So they filled his Ride Book portrait and not the main rider's?
No respect for Saber it seems.

Seems like they're not doing any for the smaller ridebooks. When Dragonic was redone with the decals on his WRB, the Brave Dragon he comes with doesn't have the cover decal.

Judging by how Dragonic Knight suddenly got his book improved one day, I get the feeling this is Bandai responding to backlash

When do you reckon they'll rerelease Brave Dragon with the decals?

When pigs fly

So, the timer on this website!

DO NOT TRUST IT! It syncs with your device and thinks that the announcements will be happening in your time zone. Which they won't!

The announcements are at:-

- 8AM JST
- 10AM JST
- 7:30PM JST

Which means the first one is happening in JUST OVER AN HOUR! I don't want anyone excited for this to be caught out by that so hopefully this helps

Oh.... good to know

Speaking of, did anyone else see that image floating around with "Shin Kamen Rider Kuuga" trademark filing? Was that an April's Fools joke?

Yeah, april fools

First thing announced! It’s a Fuuto Tantei anime!
Finally my gay ass gets to see Tokime animated!

Coming Summer 2022!

Okay this was my golden goose, the thing I was hoping for. YES!!!

Seeing that logo also makes me think of Evangelion and I was today years old when I realized that that is one of the reasons I like the Double suit.

WHAT THE WHAT.

I was just rewatching episode 1 of Kamen Rider Black as they made this announcement. The universe aligned.

I went into this Rider Week thing with a definite “okay, sure, whatever” frame of mind, but so far this has caught me completely off-guard and I’m really excited by what’s been announced.
