Hideaki Anno Is Directing Shin Kamen Rider

Post by OGMechaMothra »

In 2023, a new Kamen Rider film will be released. Called Shin Kamen Rider, it will be the latest reimagining of one of Japan’s most iconic heroes. Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno will be at the helm.

It Takes Two Creates An Almost-Perfect Union Of Story And Gameplay
Anno just finished Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time.

The Kamen Rider series debuted in 1971 and features a masked hero in a kick-ass costume on sweet motorcycles.

The news was just announced at a press conference today in Japan. Anno isn’t only directing, but also writing the picture.

To date, he wrote and co-directed 2016's Shin Godzilla. He also wrote the upcoming Shin Ultraman.

In a written statement, Anno mentioned that fifty years ago, nearly all grade school boys in Japan looked up at Kamen Rider with tremendous zeal. “I was one of them,” he said.

“I got a lot out of the TV show fifty years ago, and fifty years later, I started this project with the feeling that I’d like to return the favor in a small way.”

According to Anno, it’s been six years since the idea for the project was first created. He added that because of covid-19, the release schedule has been pushed out two years and asked fans to wait (likewise, Shin Ultraman’s release has been impacted by the pandemic). Anno said that he’s working hard so to make an entertaining film that can be enjoyed even by those who aren’t familiar with Kamen Rider.

Shin Kamen Rider has a release window of March 2023.

So fucking hyped for this!!! I absolutely love Shin Gojira (the film and the creature), Shin Ultraman looks incredibly good, and now Shin Kamen Rider!? All my favorite Tokusatsu icons are being passionately recreated by one of my favorite creators, the man behind NGE, Hideaki Anno and i couldn’t be any happier.

I really hope “Shin” becomes a series. Stuff like “Shin Gamera” or “Shin Goranger” would be so cool!

Also, woah, the new redesigned Ichigo with the coat looks incredibly badass

I would kill for this.

I'm not at all familiar with Ultraman or Kamen Rider, but I'm looking at these upcoming Shin films with great interest. Anno has my attention.

Is Toho confirmed to be distributing this? I'm interested in this either way, but admittedly I don't know much about the series.

Toho distributes a lot, I wouldn't be surprised if they wound up with some kind of hand in Shin Kamen Rider. Gotta say, I'm a little irritated Anno's directing this and not Ultraman, because I'll admit... I don't give a rat's ass about Kamen Rider :lol: maybe I gotta try again but Kamen Rider never did a damned thing for me.

Not confirmed yet.. but not denied either. Toei owns this plus Ultraman so i would say it is a good chance.
Toei doesn't own Ultraman :lol:

I wasn't thinking when I typed it.. don't watch Final 4 while internet chatting.. point is.. we don't know Toho's involvement. We never thought they'd be apart of Tsuburaya Production of Shin Ultraman. Atleast I didn't.

The announcement of Shin Kamen has me even more interested in watching some Kamen Rider shows, particularly the first series. I have a lot of time to get familiar, with the 2023 release date and all lol

We really do need a Shin Gamera. It’s been too long we haven’t had a film of him.

The tranchcoat is pretty cool but will his helmet mouth open, though?

I kinda hope not and if they do, I hope it's more like Zearth than n/a.

That one Ultraman trailer from 2016 is called Ultraman n/a.

Still conflicted on this. I don't care for KR as much as I do anything else I find myself watching, but I love the original Shin Rider design and I question how this makes sense, business standpoint because of all the crossovers they do and the original Shin often partakes...

Image

Plus, I'm just going to flat out say it, Keita Amemiya completely blows Anno out of the water in terms of, well, ANYTHING. His Black series is among the best Rider shows, his movies are God tier (Zeiram especially) and his character design (the aforementioned original Shin Rider) are awesome.
