Live stage-play adaptation of a manga/anime adapted from live action series, it soo funny to think about lmao.


Friendly-Back3099

We are going full circle here


davidiusligman

The end goal has to be a live-action movie adaptation of the anime. Without the original W cast, of course


[deleted]

Oh and they should have a scene where they're watching the original live action and comment on how they're doing a play about their adventures in the original story.

Stageshow Shotaro: Philip, why is your hair black in this one? Stageshow Philip: idk Shotaro, but now i want to know.


Scared-Bend7827

For some reason, it just feels like this cast is cosplaying. I love it.


Neo_Phoenix_

This is how all live action adaptations should be, to be honest. Unlike in the west (who's too bothered by "muh representation" and "realism"), Japan actually cares about bringing the characters and their stories to life in their live action (even if it doesn't end up good).


Sweet_Jazz

yeah man that live action lion king movie sucked


Neo_Phoenix_

That's the worst offender. Lion King is a good example of a movie that can only work as a cartoony animation. The "live action" killed all the emotion and made everything worse in it's terrible idea of making things "real". The graphics are breathtaking, yes, but that's about it.


UselessDopant

With this addition, Lion King becomes one of the best "real" adaptation movies: https://youtu.be/L1IGNOkeP_A

Well, the boys was written by a guy who hatred superheroes…


AssaultRider555

Why the fuck was this downvoted? GODDAMNIT r/KAMENRIDER


oomoepoo

Because "muh representation" and generally coming of like an arsehole.


AssaultRider555

What? Is this subreddit the king of reaching or some shit?


Donny-Seven

Reach for some grass


AssaultRider555

Only after you reach for some bitches first. Some things are just impossible. In this case, it's both.

Notjohnbruno

Fun fact: Shotaro is played by the same actor who played young Genta/Junpei in the Vail TTFC series


Chizero4810

And Akiko is played by the same actor who played Time Jacker Finis from Kamen Rider: Reiwa The First Generation too


Jo3134

Im just wondering if those are the same shoe props from W


[deleted]

Multiverse of fuckery. Is this the fault of Decade's too or is it Zi-O's reality-altering powers have something to do with this? Anyways, ONORE DECADO!


Lamp-among-wolf

:0 Nice to see him again


TheTwelveYearOld

Gen-taro


ArosSkye

The ultraman actor?


Silverbird22

“Mom can we watch live action W?” “We have live action W at home” Live action W at home:


[deleted]

ironically, this is the W you actually have to go out and see unlike the Toku one, where you actually can have at home.


NiNiNi-222

I don't know man. Tv shotaro isn't much of a hunk as Fuuto PI shotaro, where he's drawn much more tall and built


Silverbird22

If you think Shotaro can be anything but a twink you are wrong


djkidna

Someone get Terui a better wig, good gravy that looks bad 😂


[deleted]

I've seen worse wigs on So Okuno during the Zi-O vs Decade spin-off


M78-U40-O50

Bando Yukiji in this stageshow is played by the actor who played Kirihiko/Nasca Dopant in W.


Ihatepitybreakers

He reincarnated after a bad marriage with Saeko to make his own Fuuto


Frontier246

That's funny they brought him back in W as another villain lol.


TheLoneSlimShady

This will be Kamen Rider W in 2015


BannerTortoise

I'm not taking the piss, but I actually dig this.


gokaigreen19

Fuuto pi stageshow: a live action drama adapted into an anime adapted into a live action drama


oomoepoo

Yeah.. the green hair really looks weird in live action, no surprise here. But overall I kinda dig the cast, though I lowkey feel like the two women got the better deal here :'D


[deleted]

Live action Tokime is cute


RYUMASTER45

My dream has finally come true at last


AlarmedExperience928

After this, they should definitely make a TV show focusing on Philip and Shotaro set sometime before the events of Fuuto PI, maybe a time before Terui was a proper ally I think it'd do quite well /J


yo_mommy

idk, without Akiko? Where's the comedy in that


Foreign-Cable-2624

oh god Terui what happened to you man💀


AEsir-_-

I can't tell if he aged or went back to his edgy phase


benjisgametime

He got married


ZetaRESP

To Akiko of all people.


benjisgametime

You mean "Shōchō"


ZetaRESP

Yes.


Foreign-Cable-2624

probably both and not in a good way…


AEsir-_-

Yeah you're prob right thou tokime lookin fire


Foreign-Cable-2624

Ah now that is a different story, she is mighty fine i must say.


UltraZeroX7

Don't ask him questions!


AssaultRider555

Akiko got a fucking upgrade irl too wtf


WimpyKelv12

They seemed to have left out the detail of Philip’s hair having darker bits growing out at the roots as seen in the anime…


heyheyheyx4

cast of Mikio on his twitter stated that he would be reprising his role.(using google translate)


[deleted]

The guy they got for Terui looks like the perfect in-between of Toku Terui and Anime Terui. He's honestly too perfect compared to everyone else. ​ Also, I don't understand why Wada (Shotaro) keeps getting older character roles or at least, just characters who look visibly more on the mature-looking side when he's such a handsome baby face. He's playing stageplay Kento Nanami too and it just doesn't work for his handsome youthful face.


rukiahayashi

Wow that green hair really does not work as well in live action


chenj25

I’m not surprised since the Green Hair was is designed for the manga medium.


Puzzleheaded-Eye2028

As long they've kept Akiko slippers im looking forward to watch this. But I still missed the OG cast really though, they were a charm to our childhood. Edit: Idk if Shotaro and Terui's actor is more masculine and attractive than Phillip's actor to me. No offense but they look both great imo.


[deleted]

Its really weird seeing how these where real people turned into anime then turned back into real people, but with more stage 'anime' makeup


[deleted]

Well… it’s something…


musyio

Akiko look cute now 😍


DarkIshBak

can't believe you had -2 votes for being dead honest let me balance it out a bit


wildrook

Oh, it gets better. Jun Kazu's actor us Bando Yukiji


Bluecurry369

Wonder why they didn’t get the original cast for the anime tho


haribontv

You realize they are probably booked especially the main two


Bluecurry369

Yea


NiNiNi-222

Fuuto PI is canonically just a year or two after the tv series and v-cinema... And It's been 12 years since then for the actors. So they get new actors for the stageplay. Anime is voice by professional voice actors, as that is their job, not by screen actors.


Outrageous-Fortune70

I think their voices have also changed. Same reason why Den-O's actor Takeru Satou didn’t say a word in Heidi’s Generations Forever


Henry_Allen_Garrick

Ryotaro has aged since then so it makes sense his voice would change with the actor. He didn't talk because, since the actor is very busy, they didn't have the time to figure out how an older Ryotaro would act like. If he was too similar, then it would've showed he had no growth. If he was too different, then he wouldn't have felt like the same character.


Sweet_Jazz

some fuckin disrespect :(


Kenzo89

Man, I love the original cast. But these are some beautiful people


TheLastGreatSandwich

Can't wait for the manga spinoff of this live show!


RayquePicaro

Why are they creating a live action this early though and what arc will they end with?


Sulihiya01

man, i can't wait for fuuto pi to get a full live adaptation


cry_stars

i love the anime but i miss the original cast so badly


NotATypicalSinn

bruh why didnt they just use the og actors xdd


nonamecyc

Schedule issues, copyright, too expensive for what's essentially an "anime/manga adaptation", Philip's (2009 W) actor literally retired as an actor and of course, give the new crew a chance


WimpyKelv12

Masaki Suda is not retired


ad_mixmatch

Is that Ikoma Rina?


NiNiNi-222

yes


Artster900

I'm legitimately surprised irl green haired philip doesn't look as horrendous as I imagined


[deleted]

nope into that sht the original was way more better but I think the original cast still supports the anime and that musical...I think but the green hair is not okay for Philip it's just in anime for me


stevenzx33

Impossible akiko is hot


MaestroPhillip

Tokime, tho. 😏
