With production of Kamen Rider Dragon Knight well underway, reliable inside sources are informing us that the network and production are interested in adapting Kamen Rider Blade next if Dragon Knight is successful.

Apparently the reason for this interest in Blade is the card concept. Plans to market and merchandise the card concept for KRDK are already underway and they want to be able to continue that for the next series.

While I'd personally prefer they adapt Kamen Rider 555 next, I wouldn't be opposed to adapting Blade if theres potential for success in the American market.

What series would you like to see adapted next?

Discuss.

I thought they would skip 555, Blade, Hibiki and adapt Kabuto.

Interesting news, good to hear there is a chance this will become a yearly thing. Of course its way to early to worry about a second US season. Since we have to see if Dragon Knight works out first. But the more American Toku the better.

I'm disappointed that they're skipping Faiz, but Blade is awesome. At the moment, I'll settle for seeing Dragon Knight.

Interesting, they look like a fine series that could be adapted.

Hmm ... well, I could kinda see this half coming, but at the same time, I really wished for them to adapt Faiz. I mean, Faiz is what got me into Kamen Rider in the first place (or rather, the first Kamen Rider series I watched).

Same here. Faiz was my favorite. It had such a badass storyline. I really want to see it adapted before this.

Kiva is the only one I've watched so far, so I'd definetely like to see an American Adaptation of that.

I'm wondering why you're all bumming out about Faiz. Should Dragon Knight jump to the mega-success we want, we're going to see it eventually. Might even be after Blade, since there aren't any other card-based Rider series (well, Den-O's time cards were a whole different thing. And it's not like there's gonna be a TCG created from the Zeronos cards.)

They should have skipped Ryuki. They should skip Hibiki.

Because it is superior than Blade & Ryuki combined. Which is not saying much since Ryuki is utter shit, anything that erases everything that happened over the course of the season or series with a convoluted time travel bit is utter shit from start to end.

Don't assume facts not in evidence.

You have 100% proof on that? If not don't assume facts not in evidence.
