Kamen Rider back to the US?

[Sakurai]

Done right, KR can become...maybe a little bit better than Power Rangers is doing now. I mean, it might get scoffed off as a Power Rangers rip-off by kids and get not that many viewing.

It probably could get a cult following.

well, I saw the photos on JH and I will say this:

it looks impresive, but how will this series hold in the US? will kids stick around enough episodes or will they just scoff it off as a ranger rip-off and just walk away? Even better, what will parents think also? most parents wont agrue, but im sure Soccermom's will defenetly have a cow with it...

it's 3:30 am and I dont even know what im talking about here guys.

Kids will end up saying its similer to PR, however, the concept is more diffrent. Looks at Beetleborgs or VR Troopers, kids called them rip-offs because they were a team(and along with Beetleborgs being color coded) like Power Rangers.

Then you have Dragon Knight where 10-13 Riders come one by one killing each other for something with their Digmo..I mean Mirrior Monster Partners for support. However, this is going by Ryuki. No one knows if the riders are going to be a team or fight each other.

it's hard to predict how the mainstream target-demographic will react to this show. They might compare it to PR and dismiss it as as a watered down clone; Or they might say "hey this reminds me of PR but it's kewler!"

Since Dragon Knight is targeted at a slightly older audience than PR (by maybe a couple years older), has older characters riding bikes like little bad-asses, there's a chance this show might not be so easily dismissed like other ones in the past.

It really depends on if they were to give the main riders bikes, If I recall, Ryuki is the only one with a standard bike, that, and Survive mode which comes at the 30's. Which I am sure hope they will.

There was this link on a certain PR board which shall remain nameless for certain obvious reasons and it looks like Ryuuki is in safe hands thanks to Steve Wang and his crew!:anime:

 

[SaikoDragon]

So far, I only know two other boards that had links. RangerBoard and JapanHero. HJU had links too until it was taken down.

Remember, leaking this kind of stuff can get people on the production in trouble.

 

[Aoi Kurenai]

Yeah, the staff sounds kind of pissed about the leaks.

I can actually see this in the intro...:laugh:

 

[SaikoDragon]

That would be awesome. Im so tempted to go watch Ryuki again... or should I just let myslef forget so I can enjoy Dragon Knight fully... hmm dammit, the choices!
