Just as the subject says, I am wondering how stand alone the Kiva film will be? (I am not talking about the the Kiva/Den-O film as that would obviously be stand alone, yet talking about the other film)

The pics that are coming out (for toys) seem there will be lots of story in the film.

So how much will we be missing without seeing the movie? As for subs we would need to wait for the DVD release which will take time and most likely the series will be far past the point we may need to know info from the movie.

I don't wanna miss out on cool story development.

We don't know for sure yet.

Yeah the movie remains a mystery continuity wise. But it looks PRETTY. I have family in Japan and part of me is wanting to jump on a plane just to go see it, but that's crazy talk. Not like I'd be able to afford it.

...at what point will we be in episodes by the time the movie comes out?

Using Kamen Rider Den-O & Kiva: Climax Deka as a reference it might be safe to say 4-5 months?? Climaz Deka came out on the 12th of April in cinemas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamen_Ride ... limax_Deka) and the DVD is coming out on the 21 of July (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-a7- ... -2otr.html)

So that is quite some time into the show (another 20 eps if anything)

The episodes will be around 28 or 29. The DVDs will be out around January.

Are you saying that we will be in 28 or 29 episodes from this point (so episode 48-49) or will Kiva have a season break?

He means that when the movie release the series should be around episode 28 or 29.

Yeah that makes sense. The first "regular" volume of the Kiva dvds comes out in August, by the way, right when the movie does pretty much, lol.

So there WILL be a "season" break in the episodes? We will have to wait a few months for more Kiva? When will this be?

This is 6 months away, with only 8-9 episodes between now and then makes me sad T_T

No. King of Hell Castle will be featured in theaters just like every other Kamen Rider film before it. The show ill air as scheduled with no interference from the film.

Yes, the movie will not drag or disturb the series, it will still air like usual in Japan.

Well the movie's a seperate continuity, right guys? *wishes she could go to Japan in August to see it*

Well if it has no consequence to the actual plot of the show and ignores things that were clearly established in it. Then yes, it's a separate continuity just like the rest of the other Kamen Rider movies except for Ore Tanjo.

I finally understand now!

I was never talking about what episode we would be at when the movie is in theatres, but the episodes we would be at when the DVD is out.

As we would have to wait for the DVD to have subs, this is why it is important to know what episode the series will be at when the DVD comes out, if there is any plot development in the Movie.

Generally Japanese feature films of shows are stand alone that carry some elements from the show, like a special attack that is 10 or so episodes ahead of the aired episodes of the show. Other than that they, they tend to be totally stand alone features that don't require you to watch between episode 'x' and episode 'y'.

Yet sometimes they do make features that require a watch between episode 'x' and 'y'. As this is the first Rider series I initially asked as I didn't know the pattern in the past with rider series and features films.

It is stated that we don't know but I am willing to bet that it will be stand alone.

Well, it depends. See that Climax Deka came out damn quick? We will of course sub it soon, but you know. DVDs seem to be coming out quickly.
