So unless something likely changes, it's wishful thinking at this point.

I'm sure if Toei really wanted to make a Spirits adaptation, they could work something out. Especially considering that the only thing stopping them is just good faith, since the writer's wishes isn't really contractually binding.

Granted, I don't see them souring a relationship like that, but big companies sometimes do that

There's a lot of story potential present.
To bring up Spirits into the mix, as someone with minimal knowledge of any Showa series, Spirits was an original story that was easy to jump into. It kept events from multiple series, but ultimately, it wasn't some kind of canon sequel that relied on past knowledge.
That same concept could be done with any of the riders. An original story that follows a few story beats of the original series, but deviates into it's own story.

For example, Kamen Rider Kuuga has a well known manga that follows an alternate telling of Kuuga, including incorporating how Agito is connected to Kuuga.

I'll happily take any adaptations of any of the manga.

For non-manga adaptations, I'd honestly rather have an original Kamen Rider anime than a sequel.

As an aside, can you say a bit more about this? I haven't seen or read Kuuga, but I've been interested in picking up the manga when it comes out. Is it just a slightly tweaked re-telling? Or basically its own story? (or something else?)

It has the same general premise, but the way it all plays out is very different and very, very Inoue.

But we never had a Anime series from them except that stupid one the KR spirits.

That sounds interesting. So basically it's a different story from the show? I'm down for that. Not as confident in whether I can handle "very, very Inoue" or not

Same.

I meant in general the drawing in the anime style of the 70s, 80s and early 90s, without reference to the riders or Toei in general. More retro, less 3D, which is better left for more modern series.

I fixed it for you

Spirits and Kuuga are likely contenders.

For me personally, I'd like a new original Rider Anime season. One that could run parallel to the main merchandise season.

But that's all going to depend on Toei and how Fuuto Pi fares for the most part.
