Who are you and where is Tetsuo Kurata? God, I hate that awful fucking show. I'll never forgive Saban/Disney/ABC Family/Satan for doing that. Not ever.

Here's my point. You DONT have to watch it. If you want to see a better version, go back and Watch Black RX. There you go. Just because this version came out in America and it sucks does not mean you can never go and watch Black RX ever again and ENJOY what it was!
I agree. Masked Rider got stupid at times but to hate ABC Family (a company that wasnt around at the time. It was FoxFamily and another thing. They had NOTHING to do with Masked Rider. Nor did DISNEY. It was SABAN.) is a bit off the wall.
Im the only person here who probably WANTs to see American adaptions of newer Kamen Rider shows. Yes.. I want to see Masked Rider 555. I am interested in seeing what they would do with the footage.
they would make it suxor!1!
Well that's great. If that happens, Im perfectly fine with my dvd copy of Kamen Rider 555. Just because Masked Rider 555 sucks doesnt mean I cant bust open my Kamen Rider 555 and relive what I originally liked. It doesnt harm me one bit to see an american adaption attempt. Especially if it sucks, what loss is there? NOTHING. I still have my japanese dvds. I still have the original show. I have lost nothing in the end.
But the brighter side is, what if they actually do a great story and a damn good job with the footage while staying differant from Japan? Booya. Thats TWO differant stories (Kamen Rider and Masked Rider) that I can enjoy equally and appreciate. I win either way in the situation.
Annnnywho.. Im done preaching. But I agree. I mean Masked Rider was very 80s family type show. It got pretty silly and laughable. Would I buy the dvds?? Hmmmm. Probably not. But I would probably like to see the episodes again. Just for fun.
But honestly, I do wish Masked Rider had another chance over here. With a similar staff like Power Rangers, they could do some great things that I know I would love to see. Just think, brand new fight scenes with your beloved Kamen Riders. If you hate PR you have to admit one thing. The original Fight footage has gotten ALOT better since 1993. Alot better and alot more fun to watch.
