Considering #4, 8 and 9 on the boys list, something tells me that KR may be even more mainstream than what most people think.

I agree with what TVN said about being better than the first, although I don't think it had enough Metal Heroes in it to justify it's existence.

Holy geez, 2 hours worth?

And not surprisingly, similar to Wizard's rings and Fourze's switches, we're seeing/getting lockseed versions of past Riders.

Anyone know/care about this latest project: http://tokusatsunetwork.com/2014/01/14/kikaider-reboot-now-filming/

In Hawaii this is pretty big news. It'll get publicity everywhere. It should screen at our local film festival by 2015. And if Ban Daisuke doesn't get a cameo, Rika help us ALL!

I remember hearing about it a couple of months ago. Didn't know that they were already filming.

But how about THIS?!?!?!

Having THE Hongo Takeshi back in the Rider universe CHANGES EVERYTHING! Also, Jin Keisuke/X-Rider.

The Heisei kids are DOOMED!

So are we getting anyone from the 2000s besides Takumi? Long overdue anyway.

Probably heard of Kiritani Mirei's sentai movie Jyoshizu

Anyways. It made me remember she also did a short mobile drama Henchmen.
I only watched the first free episode then. But can now find the whole show on YT:

Kamen Rider War Film Lets Fans Vote on Ending
posted on 2014-02-08 18:30 EST

Fan poll will decide if Heisei Riders or Showa Riders win unprecedented matchup

The Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider War feat. Super Sentai film is letting fans vote between two different endings to determine the winner of the final battle. The producers are preparing two endings — one in which the Heisei Riders win, and one in which the Showa Riders win — but only one will be shown in theaters.

The film will feature a total of 30 Riders, including 15 Showa-era Riders led by the original Kamen Rider 1, and 15 newer Heisei-era Riders such as those from the ongoing Kamen Rider Gaim television series.

Toei has produced several "Vs. Series" films between different Kamen Rider and Super Sentai stars in the past. However, all the previous films did not depict a clear victory or defeat. Toei producer Shinichiro Shirakura commented, "This time, we are seriously invested in victory or defeat, so we prepared two endings." While the two sides both seek the same justice, Shirakura explained that the outcome between "the Showa Riders who fight evil for the good of society and the Heisei Riders who fight as individuals" will be left in the hands of fans.

At first glance, one might think that the popular Heisei Riders born in the new era have the advantage, but in this movie, Takeshi Hongo is transforming as the original Kamen Rider 1 for the first time in 38 years. Shirakura said that when Hongo enters the scene and transforms, you might rethink the Heisei Riders' chances of winning.

Voting began at 8:00 a.m. on Sunday in Japan (6:00 p.m. ET on Saturday), and will continue until March 28 — the day before the film opens. After 20 minutes of voting, the Showa Riders are winning with 467 votes (74.1%) versus the Heisei Riders' 163 votes (25.9%).

While the ending to a Kamen Rider Ryūki special was determined by a poll of viewers, this is the first time in the franchise that a film's ending will be decided by fans. Plus, this is the first all-out battle between Heisei Riders and Showa Riders.

The film will open on March 29. Participating theaters are selling advance tickets with one of two kinds of Super Hero craft paper tape.

The late manga pioneer Shotaro Ishinomori created or co-created Kamen Rider, Himitsu Sentai Go-Ranger (the first Super Sentai/Ranger series), Jinzou Ningen Kikaida, Cyborg 009, and dozens of other projects.

NB - As of this post, the voting is much closer, though Showa still leads with 21 228 votes to Heisei's 18 743 votes.

That seems a bit of a stupid idea to me. Of course people are gonna vote for the Showa era because people get snobby about it. Thing is, what about the people that think the Showa era should end at Agito? Or what if someone thought Kuuga-Kabuto should be it's own era?

It's probably a good job I'm not writing it, I'd probably do a cop-out that would annoy people but Kamen Rider history is not something you can take lightly! There are good and bad shows in every era.

Saburo · « **Reply #3177 on:** February 10, 2014, 04:17:04 AM »

Marketing, baby! And free advertising. Me thinks the "two endings" bit is made up. No way Fujioka signs on if his era is trashed to the curb.

That said, isn't the bulk of Rider money these days slanted towards the Heisei ikemen? If you offend that market do you open yourselves to possibly losing money? I mean, don't bite the hand...

Garo Season 4 OP

Can't believe it's out already!

Interesting how there's actually words in it this time. I like how they make the first opening sound quite otherworldly to introduce you to it and then by the second one you're more in the zone and it's reaching it's peak.
