The teaser is set to the classic opening theme “Let’s Go!! Rider Kick.”Ĭonfirmed to appear alongside Ikematsu in Shin Kamen Rider is actor Minami Hamabe, who will play Kamen Rider/Takeshi Hongo’s longtime ally Ruriko Midorikawa. (There’s also a second, nearly identical teaser trailer.) The new Kamen Rider, played by Sosuke Ikematsu ( Shoplifters, Midnight Diner), rides through the desert on his Cyclone motorcycle, and at the end, a mysterious, acrobatic agent of Shocker known as Man Spider appears.

That’s evident in the first promotional video for Shin Kamen Rider, which is a faithful recreation of the TV show’s 1971 opening sequence.

On Thursday, Anno and movie studio Toei Company offered a glimpse of Shin Kamen Rider, a new movie coming in 2023 that’s both a reboot and dripping with Kamen Rider nostalgia. Perhaps on the meta-level, Anno sacrificed his selfish creative instincts to preserve the original sanctity of the show, and that feeling he had as a young fan.Neon Genesis Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno is giving cyborg biker hero Kamen Rider the “Shin” (meaning “new”) treatment, just as he did with Godzilla and Ultraman with 2016’s Shin Godzilla and the still-unreleased Shin Ultraman. Bottom line, this felt like visiting a friend's house with a vintage toy collection, but it is placed up on a pedestal, in a vacuum- packed case. Maybe just me, it was funny that the first two villains were a spider-man and a bat-man. "K" injected a more modern taste of AI into this decidedly retro film (A brief history of "I" and "J" and their creator *may* allude to the more fearful side of the AI concern craze.) Also the augmented Bat and talk of virus I told my son had to be a modern nod to Covid, but he thought there was actually some sort of vampiric virus in the original. By the way, the "K" and insect nature of the augmented beings did bring an interesting hint of Kafka that might just be me. Similarly my favorite character, the enigmatic and remote "K" is clearly more GPT than DNA, and his ritual with flowers in pocket after the foam evaporate seemed to speak of the quest for a soul in the machine. I suspect the latter, but there was an odd focus on her former friend and now foe wanting to see Ruriko cry. Was that the wicked West and our prurient ways contrasted vs the noble selflessness of the true Japanese? 2) It was unclear to me if the daughter were augmented or entirely an android. It was funny to me that the sultry "Scorpion" villain in her battle frenzy throes would exclaim in English. Instead here there is an emphasis on the uniformity/sanctity of the team/family/country. I suspect an accurate homage, but again a US flavored movie would have included some teen heart-throb romance. (Perhaps the US marketing mentality keeps villains around for reboots and cereal toy futures?) Two other askew thoughts.
Perhaps one other practical tip if you are thinking of seeing this with young kids, there is a lot of death.tidy and foamy.but a lot. It's explained away early on as a form of self-destruct to preserve enemy capture of technology. One of those effects was kind of sweet in terms of the foamy fatality for villains and heroes alike. I actually think my son was hoping for *more* of the practical special effects as would befit the tokukatsu genre. Ultimately, we both felt this was okay but likely would resonate more with people who grew up with Kamen Rider. He was also a fan of Evangelion, I suspect Hideaki Anno helped fill at least half of our California theater. I went with one of my sons who had seen Shin Ultraman.
Although I was not familiar with the original versions, I could clearly sense the homage woven through this.
Perhaps wait and see this on the third Monday in September? That apparently is Respect for the Aged Day in Japan.
