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.
