Looks like a new Sakamoto Koichi thing.

Kamen Rider Ninja?!


OMG Kubota Yuki yayyyyyy

[takenoko]

I'm honestly looking more forward to this than 01

This one has been on my radar since it was announced earlier this year. Non-Toei Sakamoto stuff is hit & miss, but it's a properly funded work, so I'm hopeful it turns out well.

Ha, sounds like Sakamoto for you. Is it wrong that he's such a parody of himself sometimes?

Good casting though. I've been saying Chihiro deserves her own show ever since her mediocre Ninninger guest appearance.

The guy definitely has his niche. But there's also a reason that he keeps getting hired to do these things: he's very good at it. And enough of a following that he has brand power, apparently; his name was front and center in the press release that announced all of this.

Agreed. She showed a lot of potential to be a series lead in her appearance there, and now we'll finally get to see her do just that.

Okay, i'm sold on this show just from the cast list and how awesome the fight choreography is gonna be.

[Kurokage X]

hmm Koichi Sakamoto's directing this and Chihiro Yamamoto is the main protag, I wanna see this

Looks like they've got an October 5th release date.

[Kurokage X]

that's not a long wait, and my cousin's birthdays that day too so neat for me

Interesting. That's the same day as the anime. Makes sense.

This isn't going into theaters, so I wonder how they're going to distribute it? I'm guessing something like Crunchyroll in the US; but what would they use for Japan?

[Lunagel]

Looks like it's a limited release, so while they are showing it in theaters, it's only a few

Not really a surprise, most of the Garo movies get limited release showings as well.

Unless I'm mistaken, isn't that listing for Blackfox the anime? I haven't seen any listings for Age of Ninja, which is why I'm curious how that's going to be distributed.

Says 10/5 so unless the anime is released the same day, no?

The page you linked to is for the anime. Which matches the October 5th date that was previously announced.
