Kamen Rider's very first anime has revealed some new images along with confirming the first staff members for this monumental project! As part of the massive 50th Anniversary celebration for Toei's Kamen Rider Tokusatsu franchise, the series will be branching out with a few notable projects. These include not only a reboot series of one of the fan favorite entries, a new feature film, and the very first anime adaptation for the franchise.

Titled Fuuto Pi, this new anime will be adapting the official manga sequel to the eleventh iteration of the Heisei era and 20th of the franchise overall, Kamen Rider W. While only briefly revealing a single image before along with confirming Studio Kai will be producing the new anime, Fuuto Pi has revealed a pair of new images along with confirming the staff that will be bringing the new anime to life. You can check out the new looks at the anime below from the Kamen Rider franchise's official Twitter account:
