I hope this means we'll get Kamen Rider on Blu-Ray, as well as other older Toku shows in HD. What great news.

The original series is so awesome that the picture will magically extend itself on both sides when it goes to HD to keep the proper aspect ratio! Or not. I hope they don't botch it.

A comedian in every forum. :laugh: I'm sure any Blu-Ray will keep the 4:3 blocking and that any HDTV 16:9 showing will be done in a way that makes Kamen Rider look like it was filmed in 16:9, as in not cutting off heads or anything important in a specific shot. They did a great job of that for the HD Seinfeld and Cheers (I know that the HD conversion for Kamen Rider won't be done by the same team as Seinfeld/Cheers. They were just the first examples that came to mind).

I apologize for not going through the entire thread, but just in case — and I've been meaning to post this for months — both KIKAIDA and KAMEN RIDER V3 are also getting the HD Remaster treatment (as well as KIKAIDA 01). Personally, I'm eagerly awaiting for BAROM-1, ARASHI, and ROBOT DETECTIVE to be remastered!

KIKAIDA

I like the live action version of Kikaider but i like the anime better since it is more faithful to the original manga by Shotaro Ishinomori.

I hate to break it to you, but Kikaider was always planned as a TV series. Ishinomori's own manga version was one of 12 manga adaptations made to support the series.

Either way, I prefer Ishinomori's manga to the anime.

This sounds delicious.

Yes, as Ryuusei said, most of the live-action television series that were produced with his name attached, were developed for television — KIKAIDA grew out of a rejected plotline for the original KAMEN RIDER series. KIKAIDA was a television series first, and a manga second. I prefer the original live-action series to KIKAIDER: THE ANIMATION (although I watched it all and enjoyed it), because I saw KIKAIDA when I was a kid — and like a lot of people who grew up in Hawaii, dubbed "Generation Kikaida", that's what we prefer.

I sure hope so.

If you talking about 1971 Kamen rider in HD, you didn't mentioned that it's not running in 16:9 (4:3 because you'll see both window box on the left & right) unlike our present days to me. Imagine they running ala WWE HD style i mean added blurs in both window boxes especially when watching on wide screen TVs rather than Stretch.

I hated the ending of the live action version of Kikaider 01.
