If there is any way at all for me to see old school toku that no one bothers to sub, even if that's a modern reboot, then I'm all for it.
The designs are certainly different, but I like different. It shows they weren't trying to do what every superhero show does. |

It's a brilliant update of the original. It would have been easy to take the SIC redesign route, but they kept the playfulness of it. I love it so much.
I agree. It should be bigger, closer to matching the original's proportions. but it could just be the angle. |

We all loved the original costume, but it was absurd and absolutely dated. Inazuman was updated much in the same way. Gone was his bulky armor, goofy scarf, and bug eyes. When Gokaiger hit, there were a lot of costumes Toei should have updated that they didn't, like the first three Sentai teams who had those awful stunt helmets with the pinholes in the masks. Toei should have just put real lenses on those helmets. I am glad to see that Toei is at least making updates here and bringing these characters into the modern era and presenting them in a design that has more chances of being taken seriously by newcomers to the series while respecting the origins and heart of the character.
This version of Kikaida is clearly meant to be a more realistic update to the original - and for that, he looks just fine. It is what it needs to be. There's no way his original costume could keep much more than the colors and basic concept behind it. However, Toei was going to revive the character, you had to know that the costume was really going to require a major overhaul. |

Kikaider's redesign looks pretty cool, as far as Kikaider goes. I'm not normally a fan of his design.
