"If Kamen Rider were available, which series would you want to see first?"

Zi-O. Simulcasted. But we know that's not going to happen. They'll stick some old Showa series on there and call it a day.

Zi-O's producer said they might look into international markets for KR just last month.

For Riders, I'd say maybe Black/Black RX or Ryuki since they were adapted in the US. Other shows that would be a good choice are: Double, OOO, Gaim, and Ex-Aid.

The original Kamen Rider, of course. OTOH, if that's literally not possible, then maybe Kamen Rider Kuuga.

(sigh) "Black RX" indeed. In that case, they may as well just do Kamen Rider Ryuki, since that was adapted as Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. [/sarcasm]

Really, if they are going to do Kamen Rider, then they should just do Kamen Rider.

PS: I don't like how Gridman (the inspiration behind Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad) is being given a TV-14. I mean, it's a family show, after all. Surely, it can't be as violent as TOKU is implying...can it?

“Some old Showa series on there and call it a day.” What’s that supposed to mean? How is that a problem?

It would just be a token effort, not a genuine effort to make Kamen Rider a staple franchise in the west like it is in Japan.

You realize that's how Shout Factory started out with Super Sentai right?

It's the "Avoid the Dreaded G Rating" trope. No one wants to watch a show that is rated TVG or TVY7. Even Funimation added some bad words in Monster Hunter Stories: Ride On to be rated TV-14 when the show is family friendly.

I could do with some Fourze, Ex-Aid, Kabuto and Black/RX.
