If you’ve been keeping up with recent events, then you may know about coronavirus or COVID-19 and the impact that this awful disease has had on not just the world, but some of our general interests as well. It has just come to our attention that one of the lead actors of Mashin Sentai Kiramager, Rio Komiya aka Kiramei Red contracted the virus and Toei Studios has shut down as a result.
Fortunately, a good chunk of episodes up till the middle of May have been shot but filming was put on halt last weekend, and at this time we have no further information on what sort of delays this will cause.
We at TokuNation wish Rio and anyone else that may have contracted this virus a speedy recovery. We’ll be sure to update you as soon as more information becomes available so stay tuned for future updates.
UPDATE April 3rd, 2020:
An official statement was released from Toei earlier today. A translation reveals that Toei Studios did not, in fact, shut down operations that day and was misinformation spread by the Japanese press.
The first Rider of Reiwa!
I do love the fact that the first rider of the new era is a Hopper themed Kamen Rider. Imma wait until some clearer or studio/etc. pictures are released for a better look but I'm okay with the basic look to it (at least for the primary form)
If that yellow-green form is his base form, then I gotta say, I love it. Ever since Den-O, Riders have been getting far too overdesigned and complicated. After watching Kabuto and re-falling in love with the simpler designs again, this is a wonderful breath of fresh air.
I don't know if the pictures presents other riders and alternate forms, but while more complex, they're not as too clunky as riders of recent times have been.
But goddamn, that yellow form, Rising Hopper? True beauty.
Showa era ? is that you ?
Change! Rising Hopper!
Digging the techno-feel of these suits.
A shame (though relatively unsurprising) that they're still going with RKF scale, but otherwise everything here looks cool. The cassettes kind of remind me of the Gaia Memories, especially when I see them inserted in that gun.
Possibly the sexiest suit design I've ever seen. Sometimes simple is better.
Digging the techno-feel of these suits.
I wish i know how will be the plot.
