Gideon Burogu ブログ: Kamen Rider Dragon Knight [Japanese Version MV]

I never thought that one day, I gained to like the American version of Ryuki! Kamen Rider Dragon Knight

Even though it's some sort of remake of the fell Masked Rider Dragon Knight, but this is KAMEN RIDER DRAGON KNIGHT. Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight is the title of the American adaptation of the Japanese tokusatsu series Kamen Rider Ryuki, the twelfth installment in the Kamen Rider Series. It is being brought to television by Steve and Michael Wang and produced by Jimmy Sprague. The series had a sneak premiere on December 13, 2008, but started official broadcasting on January 3, 2009 and played throughout the year. A film was planned for release the year after its broadcast, but with the series cancellation this is highly unlikely. Adness Entertainment chose to adapt Ryuki over the other Heisei Rider shows as it has a large number of characters (Ryuki had 13 Riders in total) as well as a female Rider. Statements by director Steve Wang and male lead Stephen Lunsford show that The CW will drop Dragon Knight at the end of the year before its final two episodes can air in the US. The final episodes were uploaded to the 4Kids TV website on December 18, 2009. The series has seen international DVD releases, but as of yet there has been no indication that the series will see release on DVD in America, largely due to its cancellation before the airing of the final two episodes.

OK, enough of the whole trouble faced by the American broadcasters, now we're talking about the Japanese Dub version!

Honestly, I don't feel like watching it when the DVD started to release all over the local store. But when I was surfing through Toku forums, and other toku related blogs, I bump into news that KAMEN RIDER DRAGON KNIGHT is broadcasted in JAPAN??!! Yes! It is broadcasted in Japan. Even more surprising stuff, it was accepted by the Japanese. I was like, "WHAT??!!"(Or should I say, "NANII??!!" （　ﾟ Дﾟ） ). Yea! Totally surprised. Moreover, the Power Rangers wasn't accepted by tokufans very well, but Kamen rider Dragon Knight was some big hit! WOW!!~（￣□￣；） Sugoi...

After I go through the Net for more infos and some footage video clips on Youtube, I was like, (≧∇≦)/. Yea! I enjoy Everything about it. Not only it now imply the word "Kamen Rider" instead of the english translation, "Masked Rider", it also had a better storyline compare to Ryuki's own storyline(which dissappoint me on most ridiculous ending ever).
There's NO DOUBT, I fell in love with Kamen Rider Dragon Knight!! XD

Recently, there's a Japanese Version Opening got on Youtube.
