It's bad enough that we will NEVER get a Kamen Rider SPIRITS anime until further notice they would not even give us the animation adaptation of the OG Kamen Rider. Sorry, had to get that outta my system.

I'd be totally down for a KR Spirits anime. It'd be interesting to see who they'd get to voice everyone, should it be dubbed.

It's much more of an adaptation of that than it is of the live-action series.

Most definitely. Not sure if I'm allowed to post images from the manga here, but as someone who's read it, yeah. The anime isn't 100% the same, but a handful of scenes are ripped directly from the manga, and the tone is much more in line with said manga.

I don't think I'll be able to watch along, but I'm still very much rooting for this thread! I think this was a pretty stellar choice for a first show. Hope you have fun doing this, DreamSword!

Thanks mate! Hope you give the show a shot in the future!

(off to watch and screencap ep 2 now, wee~)
