True, though as much as I love seeing old actors return, I think that having the original Agito back didn't make sense at all. He got a few seconds of screen time, contributing absolutely nothing to the movie. At least Kotaro got a proper build-up in the show.
The original Agito seemed very random. Especially since Toei didn't even bother casting Fujioka and Miyauchi, who had actually been promoting the whole goddamn thing. Not even as VA's!
Sometimes I wish Tsuburaya was in charge of KR instead of Toei... Look at the "Mebius & Ultraman Brothers" movie... Need I say more?
