(CR) Kamen Rider W: FUUTO PI (anime) [Summer 2022] Anticipation

[Stark700]

Manga 'Fuuto Tantei' is getting an anime adaptation. Airs in 2022.

Plot Summary:

In the city of Fuuto, criminals make use of USB-like devices called "Gaia Memories" to turn themselves into superpowered monsters known as "Dopants," wreaking havoc in the otherwise peaceful city. However, there are also heroes who utilize the Gaia Memories to fight these criminals, one of whom is the self-proclaimed, hard-boiled detective Shoutarou Hidari. With the help of his witty partner Philip, the two transform into Kamen Rider W—the legendary hero of Fuuto city.

After the fall of Museum—the evil organisation responsible for many crimes in Fuuto—the production and distribution of Gaia Memories has halted. However, remnants of Gaia Memories still remain within society and are sold in the black market at high prices. Thus, the two heroes from Narumi Detective Agency are yet to have time to relax. Sights of Dopants still occur and the agency receives more and more clients who claim to experience supernatural phenomena.

Regardless of the arduous nature of the task, Kamen Rider W promises that those who hurt Fuuto will inevitably count up their sins.

Surprised they are doing anime instead of another live action.

Holy crud, the first Kamen Rider anime! And it's W !!!

I wonder if they'll get back Yoshimasa Hosoya and Kouki Uchiyama as Shotaro and Philippe from the Memory of Heroes game? Probably more practical than Ren Kiriyama and Masaki Suda .

Because some of the designs and actions scenes are difficult to reproduced using live action. One of the most obvious example is the Owl Dopant.

I reckon it'd be pretty hard to get the actors to come back for a full series too, and casting new actors wouldn't mesh too well with fans.

Hoping W and the monsters won't be CGI.

Speaking of KR W, the official Toei channel just uploaded the episode 1 of the original show today for everyone to watch (legally):

Studio Kai will be animating this. It's actually owned by Asatsu DK, one of the franchise's producer, so it makes sense. Further info will be announced on 3rd of August.

Kamen Rider W Sequel anime “Fuuto PI” unveils staff members

And reveals a Summer 2022 air date.

[Frontier]

It looks like a W anime .

Philip with green hair will take some getting used to...Shotaro looks like Kotetsu from Tiger and Bunny, Akiko looks cuter, and Ryu...looks like Ryu .

The bike looks on point but I want to see the Riders now .

A new Heroine? Could Shotaro's luck with women finally be changing ?

And they even have the composers from the show !

Philip's being hotter is a given, but Shoutaro has to be hotter for Tokime's sake, LOL

Shotaro was always hot, if a little half-boiled .
