Armor Hero is a Chinese tokusatsu series that originally premiered
back in 2008 and featured Kamen Rider-ish heroes who relied on belts to
transform. The original series even featured action choreography and
direction from an action director on the early Metal Heroes shows from
Toei. The shows came from a company that was pretty notorious for their
rip offs of Japanese products, having already created a live action
Beyblade style show as well as their own version of Sailor Moon. Armor
Hero itself seemed to prove more popular than these other productions
and found itself getting a sequel in the form of Armor Hero XT. This new
show featured three new heroes and a fourth enemy in their own unique
60 episode series. There’s been little word on the future of the shows,
but we can now confirm that there will definitely be a third Armor Hero
show.
I’m not quite sure what the name is, but I’ve been told it can be
read as Armor Hero W (铠甲勇士拿瓦), any confirmation on that name would be
awesome. The series will start filming next month and is expected to run
for 52 episodes. As was the case with the first two shows, all episodes
will be filmed before the show goes to air. The filming registration
also gave a brief story summary, hopefully this will satiate fans until
more info is out!
