But one of Japan’s most enduring hero series, Kamen Rider, hasn’t been afforded the same chance... but that could be about to change.
This past weekend saw the launch of Kamen Rider Zero-One, this year’s Rider show on TV Asahi in Japan.
Given that Kamen Rider series have always classified themselves by these eras—Kamen Rider Zi-O, the series that preceded Zero-One, was an anniversary celebration of 20 shows’ worth of Heisei era Rider heroes—Zero-One’s status as the first of a new age of Kamen Rider shows has attacted a lot of attention.
AdvertisementUnlike Super Sentai, Kamen Rider has had a far more distant relationship with English-speaking audiences.
In 2009, The CW attempted to try again with Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight, an adaptation of Kamen Rider Ryuki, but that was cancelled before its run even ended.
