Shin series continuations: when or if?

[mikelcho]

Has anyone here seen or heard anything about when the planned two sequels to Shin Ultraman (Shin Ultraman Continued and Shin Ultraseven) and the planned sequel to Shin Kamen Rider (Shin Kamen Rider: Masker World) are going to be made... or even if they're going to be made at all?

Any information, no matter how big or small it may be, is greatly appreciated.

I'd like to see a Shin Ultraman Jack that acts as a retelling of Return of Ultraman. Also, a Shin Gorenger would be cool to see as well.

Got my hopes up for a Shin Godzilla for nothing...

Shin Universe as films are probably dead I know that recently Hideki Anno said I probably won't direct another live action film but I definitely how he can change his mind I still would love a Shin Godzilla 2

[Voyager]

I'd just like Shin Ultraseven if he ever returns.

[Gigantis]

Nothing has really came out of the Shin universe ever since that crazy Shin Universe Robo thing. A leak from Tsupro said there could have been a Shin Seven and a Shin version of "Return of Ultraman", but who knows if those are even still in the cards and if they were truly happening to begin with. Shin Godzilla isn't getting a sequel, no sign of one for Shin Kamen Rider, and Evangelion seems to be hibernating for now (though I'm sure it'll return one way or another because money)

I think it's safe to say it's over with.

Honestly, Godzilla and Ultraman felt total and self-contained. I don't need follow-ups. Sure, I'd like to see them giving another go at a big budget Ultraman movie, but it doesn't have to be a Shin entry.

... the only one that gave me a strong "Well, what happens next?" impression was Shin Kamen Rider. It felt like there was still a lot to explore in that world.

Shin continuations...

So did Gojira, Raids Again, 1984, vs Biolante, and Minus One (and don't try to act like Noriko's G-cells scaly neck and MinusGoji's regenerating heart are somehow more "needs continuation" deserving than Shin's tail creatures and threat of defrosting).

Would you rather have it left to to viewer's imagination?

My point is you said all these other films are self contained and don't need sequels, yet you want a sequel for another film that is also self contained like the other ones you argue don't need a sequel.

Edit: No wait that was angilsman. But otherwise same point.

My point wasn't that continuations couldn't be done, or that I wouldn't be interested in them (I certainly would!), rather that Shin Godzilla and Shin Ultraman feel contained and fully fleshed out as single works that don't cry out for more; they fully stand on their own. Stuff is left unresolved, but it works as intentional ambiguity in the story.

Shin Kamen Rider felt different in that I really felt we were about to head into the next chapter when the movie ended.

And my point is Minus One feels just as contained and fully fleshed out as a single work that doesn't cry out for more. By that logic we shouldn't get the sequel we are getting. It just feels like a bad argument to determine whether something should have a continuation or not.

^We've had over 25 years of one-shot films almost non-stop. Having more sequels now and then won't hurt.

Almost non-stop? When? When was this non-stop string of one-shot films? You mean between 2001 to 2004, then nothing for 12 years until 2016, then nothing again for 7 years until Minus One?

We haven't had 25 five years of one shots. We had 4 years of one shots, then nothing for well over a decade, then almost another decade until another movie.

[mikelcho]

If one looks at the "Future' section of the Wikizilla page "Shin series", someone has included in it the recent re-release of Shin Kamen Rider as a second version divided into five episodes titled Shin Kamen Rider: Episodic Format Version, where the film now has both opening sequences and next-episode previews in it that are modern-day versions of the same sequences and previews from the original 1971-1976 TV series Kamen Rider, with the fifth of the preview sequences announcing Shin Kamen Rider: Masker World as if it were actually an upcoming story.

Dare we even hope, guys and gals...?

This isn’t even true

The Kiryu Saga was a sequel, and there was the Planet of the Monsters Trilogy. Ironically, the Reiwa era has produced a trilogy of films with the HARDEST continuity between them that’s ever existed.

My memory could be wrong, but I believe the Shin Ultra stuff was just information from the theater pamphlet, and it wasn’t anything substantial. Just more or less saying they had ideas for some things but not much.

I wouldn’t count on no shin continuation, but really it’s up to Anno. I wouldn’t really be interested otherwise.

True...but I feel dirty counting the Polygon trilogy.
But you're right. It hasn't been all one-shots - Kiryu duology, anime trilogy, full season of SP, the Gemstone shorts continuity, the live action shorts continuity. Nevermind the ongoing MV...we're not lacking in continuity, yet some fans won't be satisfied until every Toho Godzilla movie is in one large continuity again.

shin Godzilla is done now right? Only the other shin movies have a chance of sequels right?

In terms of a mainline film, probably.!

In terms of crossovers, and other projects, it wouldn’t surprise me if we get more Shin content. Still, Shin Godzilla is almost ten years old…geez.
