Shinkenger to get a "Special Act"?

[Zazelle]

o, oops, I confused those two lol.

I think the actors either didn't want to return, or were getting expensive to retain.

No, I don't mean the original actors... I mean they could use new actors, just like the other AU Riders...

I am not quite sure what you mean. Allow me to clarify my point. Possible spoilers for the Den-O movies if anyone hasn't seen them.

Spoiler

I believe that the actors that played Ryoutarou and Yuuto in the Kamen Rider Den-O series did not reprise their roles in the Chou Kamen Rider Den-O film for one of two reasons. The first is that the studio decided that they were too expensive to retain; as adult actors in known parts they could expect a higher wage, whereas unknown child actors playing the same roles could be paid less. The second possible reason is that the original actors no-longer wished to reprise the roles, possibly for fear of getting typecast.

I was saying nothing about Decade, or even Shinkenger. I just wanted to point out that Den-O had done "it" to characters other than Hana, and in my mind had better solidified itself as king of this particular trope.

As for this Shinkenger special act, I wonder how it'll gel with Shinkenger vs Goseiger? Maybe it'll reassemble the team to set up for it better...

There are series I'd rather see more of, but at least this will be more likely to involve genuine plot rather than filler.

For some reason I tear up a bit at knowing we get to see Kotoha-chan again, especially after life as a vassal samurai

Nope, if you re-watch Den-O, Hana's original actress doesn't show up for a couple episodes before the chibi takes her place. They had some conflict with the actress, I forget what it was, perhaps someone could re-enlighten me?

She got death threats from obsessed fans for wanting to take a break from the show. She lost all interest in the show after that happened. Not speculation, that's what really went down.

Mako with Blonde hair??!! Kotoha a ninja XD.

[That Guy]

The pics of them in various outfits and scenarios remind me of that one episode of Power Rangers Time Force where they were trapped in a backlot and the MOTW was playing director. I'm not sure if that was ripped from an episode of Timeranger or not.

World hopping or time-stream hopping?

[Zazelle]

lol @ the Shinkenger outfits at the end, especially ShinkenRed's! Chiaki looks cool as police officer

[DarkProject]

I'm so excited about this. I thought the last we'd see of the crew would be in the Goseiger team-up. Awesome.

[tennomichi]

oh yes!!!! i can't wait till this comes out in june right? wow maybe we'll be able to watch it by the end of the year

seems like the storyline is quite nice also

[Lunagel]

It's straight to DVD, so you'll be able to see it much sooner than the end of the year.

Don't tease, Luna. If nothing else, I've learned at TVN that we should set absolutely no expectations on release dates and so be surprised and excited when things arrive. I was like that when All Riders came out, loved it so awesomely when hearing about it, then forced myself to forget. When it was released, I was jazzed.
