As part of the 55th anniversary, new animated film label THE KAMENRIDER ANIMATED has been announced. This is a joint effort with Aniplex and Shirogumi inc.

Personal note, I take it Fuuto P.I. and Tanzaburo Tojima were satisfactory. That said...

GIVE US KAMEN RIDER SPIRITS, KAMEN RIDER EVE, AND LIFT THE CEASE-AND-DESIST ON HYBRID INSECTOR, TOEI.

What the world truly needs right now is a direct adaptation of Ishinomori’s original manga, animated to faithfully adapt his artwork.

With all the story beats in there, and I mean all of them. The ending has never, ever been more relevant.

Nice. Additional content about riders, and not limited to live action. I wonder what their plans are?

THIS.

I was so happy seeing some of it in Shin Kamen Rider, but a faithfull animated series in a retro Ishinomori style. Yes please.

Great idea!

Thanks for reminding me about Tojima. I'll have a chance to watch the entire anime just in time.

This manga is great and I cannot help but agree, the way Hongo takes down the bat bastard is probably one of my favourite KR scenes as a whole with how chilling it is while Hongo laments all what happened

Kamen Rider anime have really taken off, huh?

Whatever form it takes, I'll gladly watch it!

[EpsilonX]

That's pretty exciting, I'll definitely watch it when it comes out.

I, too, would love an adaptation of the original manga. A Kuuga anime adaptation would be pretty cool as well. Just give me adaptations of all the manga!

Damn, this one hit me in a weird way. Part of me is really excited, more Rider media is always exciting, but another part of me is a little worried this could be a kind of planning ahead for if toku loses viability in the coming years, to pivot into using their toku IPs in anime instead. I'm probably overthinking it though, perhaps its the opposite and they feel that they could gain audience traction with toku by introducing more anime fans to these properties.

I can give an example from my homeland on this topic. A translator who pioneered fan dubbing of anime has now switched to riders due to the availability of professional and higher-quality fan dubbing of Japanese animation. Her audience seems to support her, and because of this, I rewatched Super Hero Taisen 3 and the Wizard summer movie in her dubbing. So, my experience suggests that this is rather a plus.
