It's relatively close, though - no dystopian parallel universe here.
The plot is... well, it's The Seven Samurai with Kamen Riders. There's no way to really pretend otherwise, it's even in the title. It still works, though. It's a good basic story and it plays out really nicely to throw the Hibiki cast and some new guys into it. Add in some silly costumes (oh, Touki...) and a traitor and you've got yourself a really fun film.
It is with my eternal gratitude that this isn't one of those Alternate Ending films. I was honestly...
not
super looking forward to Inoue trying to craft an ending to Hibiki circa Episode 29. (Hilarious, since I'll be getting to see him end the actual series in about three weeks.)
But, nope, it's just a weirdo Seven Samurai lark, with the barest minimum of bookending with the actual Hibiki series. It's fun, and stupid, and barely trying to have anything to do with either the core narrative or the relevant themes of the show it's drawing from. But fun, though. Fun as anything.
