    I personally love this show and feel that Adness Entertainment SHOULD do another well done adaptation.

    If that happens, are there any other Heisei era Riders you wish to see adapted?

    I currently watched subbed episodes of Kamen Rider Kiva, so I currently say that should get adapted someday.

    I agree. A second season of KR should be adapted. I haven't watched the other Japanese KR series yet, but I've heard a lot about Kiva.

    that depends on which one. im near the end of Kamen rider 555 and i'm not really sure if they can make 555 for the target audience in the u.s.

    also the reason they choose in Ryuki im my option was because of the larger number of kamen riders. so that means they could miss 555 and blade and just go to hibiki.

    in fact the could just skip all but den-o to try to cash in in the popularity. all this makes me wonder if there bother doing decade.

    Personally, i believe that Decade would make a good sequel or standalone. My idea is: Boy obsesses with the japanese program kamen rider and the first episode or couple of episodes reviews the best of the series from Kuuga to Kiva resulting in a cheezy twist of the boy getting somehow transported to the kamen rider world with the ability of becoming the newest rider, Decade, or whatever america decides to use (but let's face it, Dragon Knight and Ryuki aren't that far off) with the ability to become any of the nine riders. as he travels to discover how he came to this world, he meets the original nine riders who do not know him, and do not accept him as an ally yet. He travels through the nine worlds and discovers a man who claims to be the boy's father and this is where he belongs, but turns out to be the mastermind behind the whole thing, fight scene, fight scene, monsters, fight scene, boy discovers how to use the powers to their fullest, defeats the "father" and either A: wakes up to discover it's all a dream, or B: rules over the world himself ensuring peace. This was all off the top of my head and i'm sorry if it's really stupid...

    and i don't think hibiki would work because there's not enough original action there to make into an american series, while i believe that KRDK is doing really good with creating a storyline, something closer to hibiki wouldn't really fit seeing as the whole thing is in a forest type setting, think about it, what will it be about? dozens of kids camping in the forest at random areas at the same time discover giant monsters and become the next kamen riders...? it dosen't really have that "Noob" feel to it either, they all know what they're doing... Personally, i think Kiva would be easy to make a new storyline for, Den-o... if you get too far from the real storyline there could be trouble, 555 the graphics would REALLY have to be kicked up a notch for it to pass in america, Blade... blade might do ok, if they can find a good way to explain it... but i guess they could build off of KRDK and say that now that Xaviax has been taken care of, a new threat challenges the mirror world and with our Dragon Knight heroes gone, a new force must step up and challenge it...!! Kabuto would DEFINATELY be a must, you could get a pretty good cast and story going there before it winds up like superhuman samurai syber squad... Kuuga would only have one main character same with Agito... did i miss any?

    I want to see Kamen Rider Decade to be adapted next myself. If not that, then Kamen Rider Den-O or Kabuto. I do wonder how they'll do Hibiki. With the whole theme being music and demons.

    A Hibiki adaptation would work. Just don't know how they will do with the Demon Rider theme. They could have the Riders be a part of a paranormal investigation team.

    Agito has three Riders, not just one. A Blade adaptation can work with the whole paranormal team, as mentioned above. How would Kiva go in America? A young man who is half vampire fights a mutant vampire race? That would be cool.

    I could see adapting some of the other Kamen Rider series. I would rather see them keep closer to the storyline of the originals though. After having seen Kiva, Den-O, Kabuto and others I would be a little disappointed if they changed the plots as much as they did for Dragon Knight.

    i think the real reason they did ryuki first is because all the combat and action takes place in the mirror world were there is no one else meaning they don't have to worry about that or the fact that many main charaters interact with the riders when they are in their rider forms

    also if they wanted to do a series with lots of riders blade has a total of 7 riders if you count the Ace trio, also 555 has a chance simply with the number of gagets they have-even though they only have 3 riders

    kabuto definatly possible since it has a lot of riders however hibiki is unlikely because they have ones with no helmets who are the trainees so i don't think so also the concept is a little odd-den-o definatly possible-if they realy wanted to they could make it so that instead of it being 4 monster its for people who are riders. kiva has the vampire factor people are vampire crazy these days so i think it as next is quite possible since they could make him more european vampire than a fangril

    I hope you mean duded and subtitle, not censored like dragon knight and power rangers. I notice that both kamen riders and super sentai (power rangers) have a run of 50 episodes and a movie per show in japan. We get about 26 after the American adaptation. We are getting the short end of this deal. I wish they just release them uncut in DVD box sets. American TV will never be ready for Japaneses sci-fi.

    i like the idea of decade, only thing would be is that they would eather hve to get rights to use the deign from masked rider (ans sabien has US rights for that one), and the senti costumes (as ranger productions has US rights for SS) or they just miss thoes series out, but eather way decade has a lot of riders to use

    As long as they go with a serious storyline such as they are doing with dragon knight, then the door is open as to which ones to adapt. It is mostly going to depend on how easy it will be to adapt for American audiences, and how much marketability there is with toys and things like that. Dragon Knight has its fair share of riders, but not so many as that they become overshadowed. But Decade has him changing in to multiple riders from older series and calling on others, that may bee too much. especially for an american audience who is not familiar with those other forms.

    One kamen rider series that I have come across that may be good for the series adaptation is Kamen Rider 555. It also has its fair share of Riders but is also a bankable and marketable show. Instead of using decks like Ryuki, it uses Cell phones on the belts and the armor is pretty good looking. I could see this as an extention of Dragon Knight with the No-men having created a new set of Kamen Rider armor.

    Another series that may work is Kamen Rider Kabuto. This one is insect based and all the henshin devices are different. There is also a good amount of riders and they have two modes each, an armored mode and a rider mode. could be marketable. I just wish that the CW was continuing with the series or at least the formula. This could have been like Power Rangers. But with that ending original run sseries and Kamen Rider cancelled as well. This will be the first time since 1993 that a live action series like this will not be on the air in some form.
