Those images look great. Thanks for uploading them.
That is one awesome looking suit
Ah, I'm always up for a new writer! Anyone here familiar with anything they have done?
So not the Ninninger guy. Thank goodness for that.
Those are some cool grunt suits. The bike's kinda lame but that's been the way bikes have been since I want to say Fourze.
Sounds good so far. Fresh writing talent is always nice, and as always seeing proper shots of the suit makes it look a million times better (though I still wish it had a more distinct hook than just asymmetrical eyes). Once we get a trailer I'll probably be in love.
We'll see how much I feel this way after the show starts but, and hopefully this makes sense, right now it feels like the show we would've gotten after Wizard if they didn't decide to go completely nuts and do Gaim. Like I'm getting a strangely nostalgic vibe from it and I don't know why. It feels weird.
He;s also worked with a few former Riders, one of his shows starred Kiva, Sasword, and G3's actors. (as well as Ultraman Dyna's)
If you haven't seen it, I would definitely recommend the Densha Otoko TV series. Considering its popularity, I'm sure it's not too difficult to find streaming or track down.
He's new to tokusatsu, but he's definitely not new to writing and I would say is a fairly big name.
Muto's recent claim to fame were the CROWS Zero movies starring Shun Oguri a while back. And yes Densha Otoko is an awesome show. It was quite the show back in the days incorporating the internet bbs subculture in Japan as well as otaku stuff. Speaking of, Our very own Demon Knight/Kamen Rider Sigurd Mr. Namioka was a supporting role in Densha Otoko as one of the bbs users.
Couple more tidbits:
Series composer is one Kenji Kawai, who has done several anime themes.
Monsters will be designed by Taomotsu Shinohara, who previously designed the "Gedoushu" in Shinkenger.
