Though some fans out there may try to deny it,
Kamen Rider is a franchise aimed predominantly at children. Sure the tone is a little darker, making its demographic a little higher than
Super Sentai, but it's still very much a family orientated atmosphere that has kids as its target audience. However to celebrate
Kamen Rider's 20th anniversary,
Toei looked at the now grown-up fans of the original series and reimagined the basics behind the character in a gruesome setting. Thus,
Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue was born. A V-cinema release in 1992,
Shin also features a cameo appearance from the franchise's original creator
Shotaro Ishinomori.
