So to start off with, you probably recognise the guy playing Will as Jin, Taro’s “not-dad” from Donbrothers.

And onto the production info. Which is somehow more detailed on the actual plot that the movie itself is.

The Time Jacker who started all of this is called Finis (Swedish for “the end”), though what her motive is differs between sources. The official synopsis states that she was trying to prevent the destruction of Daybreak Town (which doesn’t jibe with what we see of her in the movie), while Shirakura says that she’s a minion of Schwartz who’s trying to avenge his death by destroying everything Sougo helped create. (I only hope that when Sougo reset everything this time, he gave her a position as, the school secretary, or something).

And now for the return of an old favourite. The “compare and contrast” between the Another Riders and their originals.

Aruto is is a human who inherited Hiden Intelligence from his grandfather after his death from natural causes and believes in a future where humans and AI can smile together. Will on the other hand is a Humagear who stole the company by murdering said grandfather and believes the only happy future is one where AI has eliminated humanity.

And for the second one, Takeshi Hongo is a young man who was kidnapped and forcibly turned into a monster, setting off the lineage of heroic Kamen Riders. Finis is a Time Jacker who willingly turned herself into a monster to create a lineage of villainous Kamen Riders and is the last of the Time Jackers.

Design wise, Another Zero-One continues the trend of extinction motifs, by being based on the Rocky Mountain Locust (as is Ichigata). As for Another Ichigou, aside from regular Ichigou being a Shocker monster, the second form’s spider legs evoke his first monster, the Spider Man. And just as Another Kuuga has no thumbs, Another Ichigou has no feet, which you should realise the significance of.

Overall, I wasn’t that keen on this movie. The plot isn’t that great, the visuals are very uninteresting and whoever edited the sound for it should be fired, since the mixing is atrocious.
