So, I heard no one ever watched this series. For a masked heroes fan like me, this series is a must watch. The original series is created by The Godfather of Masked Riders; Shotaro Ishinomori. The series is being published by Studio BONES with 13 episodes and Episode Zero, titled "Skullman: Prologue of Darkness," staring Ami Suzuki and Kamen Rider Hibiki and Death Note's Shigeki Hosokawa.
Unlike previous stories of Skull Man past, the story closely focuses on a journalist name Hayato Mikogami who returns to his hometown at Otomo to investigate strange rumors of killings done by a man wearing a skull mask. Tailed tightly by a young photographer, Kiriko Mamiya, the two soon uncover the many strings of connections between the victims, a local pharmaceutical company, a mysterious new religious sect and strange half human, half animal creatures which roam the night streets out for blood.
You will not know the identity of Skull Man until episode 11.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(Tsukasa @ Aug 18 2008, 11:32 AM) Yup... but wonder where the power comes from.. the mask.. and Hayato is the masked rider ?? lolx thought its his friend the priest. lolx lol spoiler tag this wouldnt be nice to people watching halfway despite it being a rather short dated series (considering some people like me/u watching it after shinsen is promoting it) anyways: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « yes the power is from the mask, it sorta augment one's physical abilities be it speed/strength, but the wearer will have to bear the drawbacks (the mask sorta controling you to perform tasks you dont want to do) and also the physical setback (considering human limits, the mask is basically pushing oneself over that limit and it will damage the body, most notably seen at last ep, where he just moved in super speed and after that he sorta "died")
also, initially, the wearer was the priest, however he died later on, and hayato continued the mask's legacy, only for a short while until he was "brought back from the dead" from that secret organization.
