Synopsis: “”Horror! A war is coming!”” Tadashi, an isolated unhappy youngster, has moved to the country after his parents’ divorce to stay with his mother and increasingly senile grandfather. Bullied by the local kids, he’s seriously unhappy. However at a local festival, he’s mysteriously picked to become the next ‘Kirin Rider’. That doesn’t cheer him up either. But he soon discovers that the responsibility of the Kirin Rider is all too real because he has to deal with a great war on its way, no thanks to an evil sorcerer. Summoning the rage of all the gadgets and machines discarded by humanity, the villainous Katou and his sidekick Agi (the one with an impressive blonde beehive) are splicing creatures (known as Yokai) together with electronic devices to create deadly monsters. It’s up to Tadashi to – with the aid of other Yokai – stop them before Tokyo is reduced to a smouldering ruin. Based on Japanese fantasy author Hiroshi Aramata’s novel.
