OK, so back in 2009 Adness did an Americanized version of Kamen Rider Ryuki called Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. Despite it was well received by the Toku fandom, it was a ratings failure, some say it's because it was broadcast on 4Kids TV and at the time Saturday Morning Kid's TV blocks were dying. Interestingly it never even came to the UK.
Then later Saban announced they aquired the rights to Kamen Rider and said they were going to do an adaptation of Kamen Rider Decade called "Power Rider" (or something like that). Power Rider never came to fruition, and they no longer have the rights to Kamen Rider (or so I heard)..
So, now that Saban has ditched the whole Power Rider thing, do you think Adness could have a second chance with Kamen Rider? Do you think they'll get Nickelodeon to air Kamen Rider Dragon Knight while they work on another Kamen Rider series so they can compete with Power Rangers?
Even though Nickelodeon probably won't give them very many timeslots because Kamen Rider isn't a Nickelodeon owned franchise?
Personally I would like to see a return of the American Kamen Rider. Sure Saban's Masked Rider was **** but Kamen Rider Dragon Knight wasn't so bad. I've not completed the series but judging from what I watched it was a million times better than Ryuki. Infact Ryuki was boring as hell. I used to get pissed off whenever something like this would happen but that was because I was a weeaboo at the time, and if you kill off your weeaboo mode and not take sides in this stupid Japan VS America game, then you can learn to appreciate a good TV show for what it is.
