I doubt Spirits will become a anime series, so I think a anime based on the original Kamen Rider manga may be a better choice.

A TV anime series would never work for Kamen Rider seeing that Toei and Bandai don't want to have two toy lines going on at once. So a OVA series or movie would work better for a Kamen Rider anime. With a OVA series, it will be market to older fans of the series than the ones watching Ghost-Ex-aid on TV.

The original manga would be an interesting adaptation. It's a pretty fast paced series, you have Ichimonji introduced by the second volume, and its ending is...not entirely inconclusive, but it definitely gives you a sense of "yeah, you're never going to be done fighting".

Yeah. I mean the guy tells good stories so its not hard to see how he's become so popular, its just frustrating when you can see these "twists" coming a mile off.

Well, being a completed work, they don't have to follow the story told exactly. They could take liberties to let the pacing flow a little better to slow it down some (Unless it's one of those 6 episode series)

Well, you don't even have to be a fan of his stuff to see the twist coming. Once we saw what happened to Hase during the first quarter, it was kind of obvious

Yeah, Gaim was obvious even for his standards

Speaking of Kamen Rider and anime, I won't mind a Kamen Rider vs. Cyborg 009 crossover as a OVA. It could have Ichigo-Super 1 against the Cyborg 009 team.

Which models or singers who played either Kamen Riders or Heroines or even villains that can actually act

Nowadays most of Kamen Riders, Heroines and even Villains are played by a model or singer but which one that can actually act?

I always wonder why the team that made the Kikaider anime never made an adaptation of the Kamen Rider manga.

^Probably because Toei has most of the control of the Kamen Rider license from what I was told. While the Kikadier anime was from Radix, Studio OX. The Kikaider anime air on a kids network and having a Kamen Rider anime airing around the same time as the live action shows on a kids network will have two toylines going on at the same time. Bandai will never allow it.

Kamen Rider will work as a anime if it's a OVA or movie.

The Kikaider anime aired on NHK BS2, which is one of the NHK's satellite channels, it's not actually a kids channel. It also aired at like 1 AM during its original run. If you've seen the show, you can definitely tell it's not a kids show.

Kikaider and Kamen Rider also probably have different levels of Toei ownership. Ishinomori Pro has a great say in a lot of remakes based on Ishinomor's properties but something like Kamen Rider also has to deal with Toei and Bandai more than his lesser known properties.
