New Spectreman manga chapter already, the amusement park episode.https://mangadex.org/title/a481c2f1-3774-44f1-b797-73ffebca1bfe/space-ape-gori-vs-spectremanJust 2 more to go!

>>22488579Almost the end now, decitman coming next, then afterwards an original different climax to spectreman where if I’m not mistaken apparently someone unexpected appears, who? We’ll find out
>>22488600I dropped this part way through watching it. My recent enjoyment of Koichi Sakamoto's directing has got me re-interested in watching it, is it worth the rewatch?
>>22488600Why did the suits in this look so shit?
>>22489434It's nothing too crazy it's just a quick background cameo on a TV.
>>22489881Dawww you spoiled it, I was expecting something more significant but I still have yet to know what this manga original climax is like
https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/4d4d3dbe4b276cdc397f64c4036d115dcac9b0a9There was a vote by men in their 30s about what Metal Hero series they would like to see get a remake. Number 2 is WinspectorNumber 1 is B Fighter
Y'Know, if I were to ever put a label to my manga translations, I think I'd call it, "Well if no one's gonna sub the toku then...", because most of the manga I either intend to or have at least thought about translated are based on toku that have never been subbed, at least not fully in some cases, & some of them I've thought about translating *specifically because*, "well if no one's gonna sub the toku then..."

Garo officially collabs with PROJECT XENO, a Crypto, NFT-based gacha game.
>>22492306After finishing Sharivan this is a neat fact>>22491950I figured something like B-fighter would be number one but winspector really surprised me, I guess the rescue hero trilogy is fondly well remembered so I’ll get to those eventually down my metal heroes marathon.
>>22491950>There was a vote by men in their 30s about what Metal Hero series they would like to see get a remake.So basically the same demographics who watched those shows as kids? What a dull surprise.
While going through shaider I also went through two episodes of akuma-kun a day and it was a pretty fun show(especially one younger mephisto appears). I’m surprised on how it abruptly ends, episode 20 felt like an actual finale with the cast going through the underworld and even coming across and helping out older mephisto get his powers back. Yeah only the first two episodes are subtitled but I went through understanding the show regardless. I guess the cast knew it wasn’t getting renewed from its first 26 episodes so they basically went “goodbye folks” though I presume the adventures continue, it’s very understandable as ultraman was much more popular and toei knew they had to keep up. Overall I’d recommend this one, maybe one day it’ll be fully translated.
>>22495650And finished episode 40 of shaider, down to the last stretch and I’m enjoying this one. As for villains go, although psycho king madoh was no doubt about the best MAIN antagonist of a metal heroes show, this has the best villain faction and improved on what sharivan’s villains were like
Are Mirrorman and Jumborg Ace subbed? Pic unrelated

>>22496667Neat, next comes the finale
Almost done with shaider, just finished episode 45 and this finale is shaping up to be one of the best rivaling the finale of sharivan (also speaking of in loved how he was protecting iga from the fumma as means of preventing history from repeating itself)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeFVmAJaHew
>>22497538Finished shaider and with that the space sheriff trilogy, highly recommended series to anyone that’s new to these type of shows especially if you want something less kiddy(even though there are a bunch of supporting cast me that are kids). Although I’m finally done with this magnificent trilogy of shows, my metal heroes marathon really has only just begun. Up next it’s Brazil’s favorite hero and mecha duo, JASPION

Here it is, the final chapter of the Spectreman manga, after a year & a quarter in development, hopefully it will have been worth the wait.https://mangadex.org/title/a481c2f1-3774-44f1-b797-73ffebca1bfe/space-ape-gori-vs-spectreman
>>22499519Wonderful.Your feats should be talked about forever.
>>22500374I MIGHT do pic related later down the line, but for the time being I think I've done enough, plus it's got alot of text crammed into very narrow boxes so I'm afraid it'd be a bitch editing-wise.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8R-2DtHpR8&t=3573s
>>22499519Wow, that is completely different, the fact that the author actually went back to do a continuation of the final chapter way later in 1999 just so he can end the story is sweet. In all honesty I think the ending to the live action version is better because gori was out of options and was at a last desperate stand in attempting to beat spectreman. By the way as>>22500374 pointed out he did to an epilogue story but of course as you said>>22500394 that would have to wait. Other than that thank you very much for translating this alternate tale of the hero that addressed pollution, thank you kiyan, and goodbye spectreman.

Bump.
>>22504507Yeah not to much activity, I’ve been going through juspion and it’s really great so far, now at episode 13 where mad gallant is hiring galactic mercenaries for his megabeast empire. I’m wondering if for the giant fight scenes they had EX Toho or tsuburaya staff because this is the first time I’ve seen toei kaiju blow up like how ultra monsters typically do with miniature models.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBEQB17X5mU
In case y'all are wondering what's next for my manga endeavors, a while ago I did the first chapter of Denjin Arrow, Daiji Kazumine's most famous original hero, saying that I intended to do a chapter every time I finished a volume of something else (given how extremely long they are), so I'm currently working on the second chapter of that, then I intend to do another original Kazumine hero, Senkou Mack, which is roughly the same length in terms of page count, and THEN I'll get back to his toku manga with his Lion-Maru & Ultraman adaptions!
>>22504641Finished episode 20, this is getting good, no really this show is a lot different from the space sheriff trilogy and it shows, took what was great from the trilogy and blended it together to make already one of my favorite metal hero installments so far alongside sharivan, the fact that I’m not even halfway through yet(almost there however) is a great sign, it’s no wonder Brazil loves this show
How is the Red Baron toku? Aware it was popular at the time, does it hold up ok?
>>22507455I liked it, it feels at times like a proto sentai series with the crew battling the robots on ground and there’s an inspector that’s both the comedy relief and a total badass. The giant robot fight scenes are well done and doesn’t try to ape off the ultra series
>>22507727Then there’s also Mach baron which improves the fight scenes but the show itself tries a little hard to be its successor by rehashing some ideas from the previous series, however the ending is something I did not expect at all that might have influenced anno in a way. If you are planning on watching it, I’m not telling anything, it has to be seen to believe
>>22507727>>22507735thanks, will give it a go then
>>22507833Your welcome, enjoy

That awkward moment when the writing in the manga you're translating comes off kinda wonky, & you genuinely can't tell if it's because your translation is sloppy, or because the writing genuinely is just flawed like that. Like I thoroughly go over a line or scene, I'm POSITIVE I'm understanding it correctly, but it nonetheless comes off really awkwardly! Regardless of whether or not it's the fault of the original writing, it makes me afraid that it'll make me look incompetent!
>>22511885OK so I was specifically concerned because there was this line seemingly setting up a plot point that, as far as I'd observed from flipping through the rest of the chapter, didn't seem to be resolved, followed up on, or even addressed again after that, but now that I'm farther in, no they actually do follow up on it, which is good because if they hadn't I was afraid the awkward writing would make me look incompetent!
>>22511885>>22512671OK sorry for blogposting there, anyway here's the 2nd chapter of Denjin Arrow!https://mangadex.org/title/6a4a1849-645a-4994-853e-b3a6b72942fb/electroid-arrow
Getting close to the end of juspion after finishing episode 36. Yeah this one’s a top tier for me. As a heads up for spielban im keeping my expectations for that a little bit lower as I figure toei knew they couldn’t top juspion but still wanted to try something different while retaining elements of the space sheriff trilogy. Obviously it’s not gonna be a bad show at all(it’s probably gonna be quite good even) but I’m not expecting it to top juspion despite being a component of Saban’s VR troopers show.
>>22513919Funny enough, I actually prefer Spielban to Juspion. The action is nowhere near as good but I think the characters, writing, and plot are far better.
>>22514140That’s good to know, I’ll be keeping that in mind when watching it A little bit of a change in my watching of the metal heroes series, I think I’ll be skipping the rescue hero trilogy for the time being since all three FWIK are all very similar to one another and go straight to Janperson after jiban, in addition there’s other shows I kind of want to watch besides metal heroes(specifically I’m planning on watching gorenger) but I’ll definitely watch those three later since they’re probably great in their own way
>>22505680I changed my mind about doing that other original Kazumine hero, I'll save that one for later.In the meantime, here's a sneak peek.https://mangadex.org/title/a2911710-50ea-42ba-b416-5a628728caaa/kaiketsu-lionmaru

Reminder to watch Iron King.https://mega.nz/folder/uMkClQpT#YrU5M_xtbv95F6wztINF_w
>>22516381I finished it watching that back in September and it’s genuinely a fantastic show that really distinguishes itself from the ultra series
>>22514843OK now here's the proper first chapter of the Lion-Maru manga!https://mangadex.org/title/a2911710-50ea-42ba-b416-5a628728caaa/kaiketsu-lionmaru
Onto the final episode of juspion! I’ll have to say that Mad gallant was probably one of the best rival characters in these kind of shows, the fact he even holds a main villain title is a plus.
>>22517569And finished, fucking awesome show, easily my favorite so far which really says something because I did enjoy the space sheriff trilogy a lot. It’s got almost everything you want, a great setting and story, engaging characters, fantastic action sequences, mecha and daikaiju, it’s all there. Now I fully understand why Brazil loves this show so much, I’d probably watch it again at some point but not in awhile because I’ve still got much more to go. Up next it’s a dynamic duo show not seen since kagestar, Speilban!

First chapter of Kazumine's Ultraman.https://mangadex.org/title/39801903-3b03-4704-98ea-a9f2d80bdadf/ultraman
>>22520102Nice how even after Katsushi Murakami completely overhauled the design, they still used Ishinomori's original version as the basis for 18.
>>22519511Ooh nice>>22520121It really is, proving that design could still be used in live action format
Finished episode 12 of spielban, I’m liking how this one is more character driven for a change, still great fight scenes but not as dynamic as juspion beforehand and something more similar to the previous space sheriff shows. Also funny how the ED was changed from a quiet hopeful song into one of the best action piece songs I’ve heard on this show yet. More to come tomorrow
>>22521057Kinda quiet, anyway finished episode 16, I can’t help but find it particular that the grand nazca has a mecha form that’s seen in the ED but hasn’t itself appeared in any episodes yet
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CV2bU7QKXVQ
OOH CHECK THIS OUT!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgcMyrIEGWwhttps://imgur.com/a/a8zzcIPhttps://ameblo.jp/gara999/entry-12229903929.htmlA 1988 toku pilot called Iron Duke.
>>22525096This feels like a very early prototype proof of concept version of gridman
>>22523245Finished episode 20, seems like the very next one is quite important as spielban is gonna find out the truth behind his father and sister. Also still no robot grand nazca despite appearing at the ED of every episode including the first.
New Lion-Maru manga chapter.https://mangadex.org/title/a2911710-50ea-42ba-b416-5a628728caaa/the-vigilant-lionmaru
>>22525345Done with episode 24, guillotine will be a fun addition to the villain cast I was gonna make a joke saying “somehow emperor guillotine (from giant robo) has returned but that’s low hanging fruit lol also still no mecha grand nazca

New chapter of Kazumine's Ultraman.https://mangadex.org/title/39801903-3b03-4704-98ea-a9f2d80bdadf/ultraman
>>22528805Nice, bit of trivia was that almost all of the original stories here were originally intended for the show as actual episodes, probably when the series was originally supposed to have been around 51/52 episodes
https://twitter.com/keitaamemiya01/status/1768204122459943210
>>22527474Finished episode 28, things have gotten better with more creative ideas coming in, also unexpected villain deaths early on which is usually reserved for the final batch of episodes, but yeah guillotine’s a pretty good villain. Also FINALLY they had the grand nazca transform into its mecha mode, seems like the footage they had for its grand entrance was intended early on but went unused until later since they couldn’t find a place to give it its grand introduction, may not be daileon but still better than valdios that it does stuff even as a prop. Alright I’ll stop these for now until the final episodes or something significant happens in the show
>>22488418The only Toku I've ever watched is Garo. Are there any others worth watching.
https://youtu.be/l5O_IBU7yZk?si=dxdXEMmwPlPuONW7Gotta say her german pronunciation aint half bad
>>22530525Oh right that was a thing
According to Japanese Wikipedia, Lion-Maru was originally conceived as being much more like P-Pro's old Jaguarman/Hyou-Man pilots, to be called Lion-Man & to have a contemporary sci-fi setting like those pilots & its immediate predecessor Spectreman, it was the network's idea to make it jidaigeki themed to help it stand out more from Kamen Rider, after all it's not like Toei's gonna have the EXACT same idea at the EXACT same time.
>>22530525I've been interested in this show for a hot minute but damn that mask really looks incredibly off
>>22531111Lol hahah. In all seriousness I am a little surprised lion-maru was originally supposed to have been more like the old big cat themed hero pilots.
>>22531111Speaking of Lion-Maru am I on a roll or what.https://mangadex.org/title/a2911710-50ea-42ba-b416-5a628728caaa/the-vigilant-lionmaru
>>22531602You certainly are, how long is this one compared to spectreman?
>>22531631Only 17 chapters compared to Spectreman's 33, pretty much most of Kazumine's manga I intend to do from here on will not only be way shorter, but will also come out faster on account of both my being way more experienced now & just being completely married to the job at this point.
>>22531637Ah I see
>>22531111Eh, it's not like ninja jidaigeki tokusatsu was a new thing even in 1972.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgFIZDOFIZY
>>22532241Nta but the point was that it wasn’t a common idea and P productions wanted to have their show stand out, it was purely coincidental that the two came out at the same time Now which one did better ratings and merchandise?
>>22532260Lion-Maru got a sequel the following year, so that's probably a good indicator of which one did better.
>>22532262I was gonna point out funn lion-maru afterwards, plus lion Maru had 54 episodes whereas arashi had 47. Also arashi went through budget issues towards the end and had several retools(I’m talking about you devil sai) while lion maru kept onto its story and ended on a bittersweet note
>>22531637Sorry if you've addressed this before, but where are you getting raws of his manga?
>>22532272The storyline of "Henshin Ninja Arashi" was changed because of competition for ratings with the back-up program "Ultraman A".At the time, many children chose the giant hero.
>>22532403I bought them on Bookwalker, & then every manga I've ever ripped I've also distributed on my Archive page.https://archive.org/details/@kiyanshahab
>>22507735Has Mach Baron finally been subbed? I fucking love red Baron and want to see part two.
>>22532494How do you go about ripping them?
>>22532580https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKniwgC0VkA
Speaking of ripping manga, I wanna rip Mitsuru Sugaya's Kamen Rider manga(s), but they're only on eBook Japan, which is merged with Yahoo Japan, which I can't make an account for because it seems American phone numbers simply aren't compatible, is there any way around this?
Almost done with spielban, I’ll just say that youmi was a much lamer reidar, didn’t even last 7 episodes and his plan was caught on by the villains. At least with Reidar he was pretty cool and his plan did initially work until he found out about psycho king madoh’s second body meanwhile his guy made a secret society that collapsed with his death. I’m guessing they had more plans for him but I guess he was too frightening for kids so he got killed off early. Just four episodes to go
>>22534645Gonna start the last 4 episodes of spielban, and yeah I discovered that WAS the last we see of youmi, didn’t fight spielban ONCE, didn’t contribute to the plot heavily other than having rikki turned to stone, a secret society that didn’t amount to anything in the endgame, he really was a much lamer reidar, also I just realized the main supporting cast from the Edison technology shop just flat of vanishes by the time helen gets her powers
>>22535464And so ends spielban, it definitely wasn’t a bad show, in fact I quite liked it, was very character based and some of the villains were fun like death zero, guillotine and pandora, plus the MOTW designs were top notch. I also liked the family drama as well and you really do feel what the characters are thinking with emotion. Despite all of that I do feel it’s the weakest of the five so far that I’ve seen so my opinions of each show so far looks like this (based on another anon’s watch along)>Juspion-Sharivan-Gavan-Shaider-SpielbanNext up, the second component of VR troopers, Metalder!
>>22535638Oh and since I finished all of the shows that had the space sheriff roots, I decided to watch hikarion again, it hits differently after going through the first five metal hero shows
Written language is always much easier to work with than spoken language for those who aren't fluent, so I honestly gotta wonder, how much more stuff would be subbed if it just weren't for the fact that Japanese DVDs ALMOST NEVER have captions?
New chapter of Kazumine's Ultraman, & once again he adapts the basic setup of an Ultraman episode, while otherwise doing his own thing, either that or he was the scripts he was given were early drafts.https://mangadex.org/title/39801903-3b03-4704-98ea-a9f2d80bdadf/ultraman& in case any of you were wondering exactly what you have to look forward to with Kazumine's Ultraman, we've already covered the chapters with Neronga, Greenmons, & now Gango, up next is Pestar, followed by Baltan, Aboras & Banila, Gomora, Red King (feat. Pigmon, Magular, Chandlar), Kemular, Skydon, & then the 4 original monsters, the cyborg dinosaur Tangilar, the battleship monster Yamaton, the guardian monster Goldar, & the water absorbing monster Wetton.
Started the first four episodes of metalder, I know it was cut short at some point but this is outstanding and very different from standard metal hero or other Toku shows at the time, this one’s even more character oriented than spielban, being the spiritual successor to kikider this shouldn’t be a surprise, and already we have our hakider equivalent with top gunder, looking forward to the rest>>22535950Oh easily these must’ve been early versions of the stories, gango seems more malicious here than it’s mischievous counterpart from the show
>>22535746These days theres guys that are able to pump out fansubs of small translated clips of their favorite idols, seiyuus and vtubers. It's just that translating toku outside of the major franchises is a way bigger job in a way smaller niche.
tell me love
Do any subs exist for the Lion-maru series?
>>22537480I subbed the first 14 episodes back in 2020, not very well though, they were hardsubbed & largely dubtitled from the Portuguese dub, I stopped at episode 14 because after that I ran out of the aforementioned Portuguese dub to work off of, & now I'm translating the manga instead.

New Kazumine Ultraman chapter.https://mangadex.org/title/39801903-3b03-4704-98ea-a9f2d80bdadf/ultraman
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZW2BwmRlPEThis vid popped up way down my youtube recommended and I recognized the girl from someone's post a few threads ago. Its a crappy text to speech slideshow but I could glean that some theatre troupe specializing in goofy tokusatsu stage shows reused Iria's suit design from the Zeiram anime. Later they re-designed it for a direct-to-video adaptation and got Amemiya to design their villain. Then that suit ended up in some sci-fi heroine AV. The AV is on dvd while the movie is stuck on laserdisc and vhs and it looks like this dude is the first person to upload photos of the stage show on the internet. Somehow it got me feeling weirdly existential at 3 a.m.
>>22544800That’s kinda funny
https://twitter.com/GARO_PROJECT/status/17725792526107406102 days left for the finale
>>22542180And done with episode 28, really liked those 2 episodes that were basically a small reunion with the space sheriff cast after starting this marathon and I think this show easily surpasses spielban in terms of it being quite character development heavy, not that spielban had bad character development it had great storylines. Also despite some of their cruelty in various episodes I think the Neros empire is starting to become one of my favorite villain factions

Almost done with metalder, monster army just lost its leader so things are really getting close to the end. I’ve really enjoyed this one and I know the story on how it was canned because it was heavily different from previous series and more adult oriented if you want to call it that. Now that I’ve nearly watched all of where the original footage that VR troopers got adapted from, I’ll share THAT video tomorrow Hail slumlord, master of low income housing!>>22549920I guess this is the closest to a live action series but hey that’s stage plays they do this “almost” all the time. Speaking of which champion red is doing some manga story that had some of the original writers from the 60s show, take a wild guess on what episode they’re adapting
>>22549920008's played by an actor mononymously known as Toyotaka (spelled in English), he doesn't have a Wikipedia page nor can I find info on his background anywhere so I can't & won't make any assumptions.
>>22550010Almost done with metalder, robot and monster armies are done now and the final battle is on. But WAIT! Seems like there’s two more episodes afterwards until the end. Gonna get to those tonight
>>22551356And done, it’s genuinely amazing and another one of my new favorites toku shows. The fights were great, the characters were wonderful, the villains were memorable(and I really liked how each “MOTW” wasn’t really any of that and really were just more characters), the story was quite good. I know why it got cut short at the end but in all honesty I think it was better this way my only complaint was that cooligan didn’t get a proper send off though one last fight with metaldar before going down in a blaze of glory like his other counterparts although I am very curious what exactly the original plan was intended had it had a proper 51/52 episode run, apparently one thing that was implied is that there were hints that neros might have been really a pawn for a bigger unseen antagonist that was never realized(only hint was shrouding him in the darkness of night as the novel mentioned). Despite this, I really did love this show.>Juspion-Metaldar=Sharivan-gavan-shaider-SpielbanAnd now as I finished both shows that were sources to VR troopers, check this out lol https://youtube.com/watch?v=L8_HrVhnqNg&feature=youtu.be
>>22551955It may seem a bit sudden but I’m putting aside my marathon just temporarily, decided to instead watch the original 1971 Kamen Rider series for the first time. It’s a long time coming after finishing so many shows and films of this kind of media, thought of it for awhile but I think it’s time I started going through hongo’s journey
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urEkP7Gml28What are your verdicts on Garo Hagane, /otg/uys?
Been a long time since I checked in on anything toku. Did Inazuman F ever get subbed?
>>22551955>spoilerCoolgin was supposed to have a proper send off. Originally after the cancellation order but when they were given additional episodes to wrap it up the plan would have been a straight up gang war between the Armored Army and the Robot Army with him and Valsky seeing who would take over what's left of the empire. And it would have been the real Coolgin, not Neros in disguise. Oh and in between all this is when Top Gunder woulda been wounded by his former side and Metalder would kill him with his rifle as a final request. Dunno why it was changed because I honestly prefer that to the weird ghost ending.
>>22553026[Spoiler]I kind of heard of this one afterwards while doing research on these original ideas, sure neros would’ve had a less climactic death but it certainly would’ve been a unique ending by having this darker finale, oh and metalder was flat out supposed to have been killed off as well at some point probably him and coolgin striking each other down, still liked the ending we had despite its weirdness[/spoiler]
>>22553036Oh and there was another ending they had planned if jiraya hadn’t been going through early production issues for episode 37, basically it was more rushed and after the ghostbank blows up there would’ve been a scene where Neros followers wash up dead ashore on a beach and implies metalder, springer and topgunder perished as well while leaving it ambiguous, glad that didn’t happen
>>22549920Pyunma isn't a dude in blackface. That's lame.
>>22553065Yeah that would have been a huge middle finger.
>>22553155Yeah it really would’ve been a middle finger, a show getting cut short like that is never easy also it’s now my birthday today so I’ll post this lol https://youtube.com/watch?v=IcVj_yFgokI&list=PLwLaM36hBQX98LadQY0bz1z2ZlA_MfjDW&index=1&pp=iAQB

New chapter of Kazumine's Ultraman.
>>22555757Shit forgot the link,New chapter of Kazumine's Ultraman.https://mangadex.org/title/39801903-3b03-4704-98ea-a9f2d80bdadf/ultraman
Happy Easter day, /otg/
Seeing Kamen Rider drawn by Kazumine makes me ponder the timeline where he drew manga for Toei's shows instead of mainly P-Pro & Tsuburaya's, I mean he did do Nana-Iro Kamen & National Kid, but in terms of like the 1967-onwards Toei we're all familiar with, he briefly did an Inazuman/Inazuman Flash manga in Shogakukan's 4th grade magazine, but it’s really easy to forget that when it’s stuck in never-been-tankobon'd hell.
>>22557507OK not exactly as brief as I thought, ran for 11 chapters total, 8 for Inazuman & 3 for Inazuman Flash, still very hard to find anything on, but thanks to this imgur at least you can see his redesigns of Fuhrer Geisel & Udespar.
>>22557525FORGOT THE LINK AGAIN!!!https://imgur.com/a/rHFnme1
>>22557525His takes are pretty close to Ishinomori's original sketches for them. Probably made before the final visuals were revealed.
>>22557507Cool that you shared this now because I’m actually watching the original rider series for the first time believe it or not, I sort of know what goes on in the show but actually watching it in full is a different and fun experience

This show would be a 10/10 if they just had real suits, wtf were they thinking?
I’ve asked this before and I’ll say it again, there’s a mysterious soundtrack I keep hearing in various tokusatsu shows(especially from toei) that I haven’t identified that I first heard in ideon of all places. Earliest I heard was in one of the last episodes of henshin ninja arashi and latest was episode 6 of gavan and apparently a snippet of it was heard in one of the last episodes of red baron. It could be stock music but it still sounds very sinister and more similar tracks coming from the same source were used in 2 back to back episodes of inazuman flash, in fact the easiest way to find this track is at the very last scene of inazuman. Does anyone have a hunch as to exactly what this is?
>>22562335Think it’s about time to seek psychiatric help, schizo
>>22562377>Asks for help in a Friendly general>Gets insulted by a random /v/ tourist insteadYou’re definitely not a regular in these threads, keep to your own grounds or don’t say anything. With that said, anyone else can help me out with this
>>22544800Just checked that channel and the latest video talked about the shocking ending of Vanny Knights. https://youtu.be/OpAaEV0LyAY?si=xW4-OaSXVTtA_Am8In the comments, there's a link about the scrapped plan of Vanny Knights sequel anime where it has giant mecha instead of transforming heroine, and Kunio Okawara designed it.https://ameblo.jp/bitbullet/entry-11084705437.html
>>22505680What are the names for the top two?
>>22563483I think they’re Kazumine’s OCs
>>22563311Holy shit I haven't thought about vanny knights in years. They really used to put all kinds of shit on late night japanese tv
>>22562334Having now finished it I think the CG Makai Knights pulled their weight reasonably well, even if it automatically rubs a Tokusatsu fan the wrong way, the biggest problem is specifically MOTW horrors not having unique designs.Still a great show, still baffling how they kneecapped themselves.

Remember me, old pals? I have returned after a long absence to present you my first ever show subbing project. Genre-wise, it's a little outside of what I do usually, but please give this amazing show a chance regardless. You won't be disappointed. https://raretokusatsu.wordpress.com/2024/04/07/mirror-of-janus-full-eng-sub/
& that's volume 1 of the Lion-Maru manga in the bag!https://mangadex.org/title/a2911710-50ea-42ba-b416-5a628728caaa/kaiketsu-lionmaru
>>22568027Ah, a mp4, at last, thank you
>>22565867I downloaded the raws and thankfully subs are still there. I'll just mux them myself. Good luck.
>>22498272Metal Heroes spoiled me. Got to them after a decade of KR and Sentai and now I can't be bothered with the other two(mostly cuz I am also sick of them). Anyone the same?
>>22571787I finished the first six shows but I decided to watch kamen rider next, shocking how I’ve gone through so many different shows yet never touched the real legendary classic until recently, it’s quite fun.
>>22571787Sentai is by far the best of the bunch for me. Especially in the 80s. Banger after banger from Dynaman to Liveman. And then Dairanger to Timeranger (except for Ohranger, that one sucks). And then Hurricanger to Gekiranger. There’s very few Riders I really like. And I found Metal Hero a bit repetitive.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAGPFAPl3R8Just knew this was a thing.
& that's the first volume of Kazumine's Ultraman in the bag!https://mangadex.org/title/39801903-3b03-4704-98ea-a9f2d80bdadf/ultraman
>>22574305Is there any reason why Spectreman feels more “complete” than this one? Like, it feels like it can hold on its own against the series but his Ultraman feels a bit lacking, even if I’m still enjoying it. They just were giving him more pages to develop the series or something?
Concept art for Perfecter MM (pronounced "Muu"), a P-Pro project that, as you can clearly see by the lightning bolt, would end up turning into Tiger Seven.
>>22575100Interesting, makes me wonder if he was changed to a big cat after funn lion maru didn’t meet the same expectations as its predecessor. I’d assume this story would’ve had the same or a very similar plot as tiger seven except as a full 50 something episode series.
Decided to watch fireman and I’m not to sure if I’m completely interested in this one, other than the lack of subtitles(there are out there but it’s incomplete) this one moves at a snail’s pace, I’m even the kind that generally likes slower paced toku such as moonlight mask but this feels a little too slow imo. So far I’ve seen eight episodes, Does it get any better?
A little over halfway through season 1 of Jisariz so far & I'm enjoying it despite the kinda trash subs. It definitely feels indie, but that has a charm to it.
Gotta say, the choice of white superhero pants on Hyou-Man, it uh, it creates a rather unfortunate look.Speaking of Hyou-Man, if you wanna read Jiro Kuwata's manga version (raw of course) here y'go.https://archive.org/details/hyoumankuwataI'd love to read Kenji Nanba's (much longer) version, but there's no digital version so I'll have to wait until I can get it physically.
>>22576173Hyou-man actually got a story beyond its pilot? Now this I gotta see
>>22576184Well to go into detail:
https://twitter.com/MAAAAAAAASAHIRO/status/1777997764699529544"I was consulting a lawyer about copyright issues and learned that it's possible to make a sequel without permission without it being considered copyright infringement.What this means is that, for example, even if someone were to make a sequel to "F8ABA6 Jizaris", which I am currently making, it would hardly be considered copyright infringement.No, it's surprising.You must not imitate the core ideas or emotional expressions of a copyrighted work.So the sequel is okay.But there seems to be a trademark infringement.Eh? If you say that, then anyone can make a Jisariz if they rename it to something like "The Flower Masked Knight.""A sequel is not a copy"Even if a sequel is made, it is not subject to copyright.No, that's weird. LolNo, isn't that strange?"
>>22576033Finished episodes 9 to 12 on fireman and I think I’ll be putting this one on pause for now, former two episodes were fantastic but afterwards it just felt like it goes on for too long. I think the lack of subs really hinders what makes it somewhat memorable but I’ll get back to it someday. In the meantime its jiraya time
Finished Jisariz and overall I enjoyed myself but it definitely does feel like just a prologue setting up the world, characters, etc. Kinda happy it got another season announced now so it can actually get somewhere.
Best ninja tokusatsu? Been in a ninja mood recently.
>>22579214I just started jiraiya, looks pretty good so far.
>>22579214Don't have answer for this but i've ben meaning to ask this for a minute and this reminded me, I remember coming across this Ninja Tokusatsu awhile back it looked to be made in the 2000s or maybe early 2010 due to the camera quality and i'd imagine it was an indie or local hero production due to said quality. I think the main guy was in a black shinobi outfit, he was fighting someone in a garden or something similar. Any help finding this would be appreciated.
Just finished another chapter of Kazumine's original hero Denjin Arrow, as I like to do between volumes, it's a shorter one-off chapter this time instead of a giant combined story arc like the previous 2 chapters, but I'm hesitant to release it because of this ONE line right at the very end that has been fucking CONFOUNDING me ALL DAY! It's a line that makes absolutely no sense in context, but I've gone over the line thoroughly & I haven't been able to get any other meaning out of it. So if I may ask, is anyone here fluent? Because I gotta know if it makes just as little sense in the original version or if it's a fuckup on my part. Or should I just bite the bullet & just put it up as is, it's just that I'm reluctant to risk putting out a suboptimal product.
>>22554501https://twitter.com/SPR_ROTO/status/1779394925395886189found the OP. it seems the forest critters are still there as CG, and it makes sense, like Precure without Fighting, Miniforce is not Miniforce if theres not smol forest critters. gotta say tho, not only the fact that Miniforce as a series has lasted long enough as to turn it into a proper Toku, but the fact that this is now videogame themed, makes this really interesing. really good for them
>>22581122OK fuck it here it is.https://mangadex.org/title/6a4a1849-645a-4994-853e-b3a6b72942fb/electroid-arrow
>>22581122It is a scene in which a child, who knows nothing, is concerned about the safety of his father.Translated by DeepL, the sentence reads as follows."daddy. What's wrong? Did something happen?I can't believe you left without telling me.What's the matter?"
>>22581504I'm sorry I shouldn't have said "the very end", I meant page 44 actually but thank you anyway, that last page actually does translate better that way.
>>22581560On that page, the original Japanese is not correct, but the overall intent is as follows.He apologizes and explains who he is, what the robot is and what it can do,He seems to confess that he froze the town to make the robot emulate a snow sculpture.The last sentence is very difficult to follow.
>>22581653OK so it's NOT (entirely) a fuckup on my part, good to know, thanks a million!
>Watching Dogengers>see medical PSA at the endAnyway, for schizoposts.
>>22581939Which version do you like better?
>>22568027Eyy welcome back. And thanks for the upload, this was actually pretty interesting to watch.Shout outs to that Silent Hallways upload too, had a few buds watch it with me and we had a good time even with the language barrier.
>The ultimate western toku kino nobody talks about
>>22582483Have I not had the toys McDonald’s sold I could’ve sworn this entire show was a fever dream, heard it nearly bankrupted Lego but apparently bionicle saved them
>>22582048>Silent HallwaysLol, seems like an odd choice to watch with friends, but it's an interesting movie regardless.This production company is really beloved among Gen X Japanese men and has quite a bit of history, being one of the earliest VHS labels in both Japan and around the world starting from 1981, among the earliest OVA/hentai producers, and the inventor of both original videos & adult videos, the latter also ironically causing their downfall when their more artistic, plot-centric soft style could no longer compete with more graphic videos.I'd personally recommend this one, it has a more sci-fi type story, the girl's acrobatics are really fun, great humor and the 80s school drama setting is comfy.https://raretokusatsu.wordpress.com/2024/04/14/psychic-sailor-fantasy/

>>22585856Me stepping out into the McDonald's parking lot with french fries in my hands when I lived 10 minutes from the beach.
have you guy tried using AI subs on these obscure shows?
Really liking jiraiya so far, it’s very different from the other metal hero’s type shows, obviously it isn’t as good as metalder(it’s not fair to compare these shows this way) but a tv series capitalizing on the 80s ninja craze in its own country is easily something fantastic to watch, plus it’s got incredible martial arts, what’s not to like?
>>22583071>Lol, seems like an odd choice to watch with friendsEh, me and my buds always watch the odd shit, like recently we had a few beers and chilled watching Entrails of a Beautiful Woman where a bunch of rapists get stalked by a monster and knocked off F13 style.I'll bring this one up with the group too, thanks a lot m8.
>>22586308If I recall correctly, that has been attempted at least once, & the results were absolute dogshit. So based on that alone I'd say it's pretty ill-advised.

>>22586595Yeah even if you had perfect audio quality (which ain't true of an old show), there's still homonyms, slang, weird references, and other things that AI cannot understand.

New chapter of Kazumine's Ultraman, next one will be based on the Skydon episode, followed by those coveted original stories!https://mangadex.org/title/39801903-3b03-4704-98ea-a9f2d80bdadf/ultraman
>>22592877Wouldn't be surprised if they were able to get a package deal for everything that Saban didn't touch. Can't wait for Winspector and Exceedraft.
>>22591542Kinda weird that they'd change it so he'd lose his eye before being granted his transformation.
https://twitter.com/discotekmedia/status/1782484958197805454
>>22514734Winspector's really good, the back half of Solbrain is basically just a direct sequel. I get your trepidation but it's less three shows that are exactly the same and more one long series and then Exceedraft, which get really weird towards the end.
>>22552997I fucking wish.
>>22537445It's crazy how much of a fucking blueprint this show was for Heisei era Tokusatsu. Not only did it lead to Gridman (and overall the digital era filming for Ultraman), Tomy was still referring back to it design-wise when working on the Tomica Rescue franchise and even Kamen Rider had a habit of knocking it off (Kabuto in particular ripped off several scenes from it, some almost beat-for-beat). And you wouldn't even realize it because it's such a cheap looking show. It really deserved better.
>>22594598I know, I’ll get to those three eventually one day but that’ll be much later on. I’m almost done with jiraiya actually with only six episodes to go then tackling Jiban(perfect timing too lol) I took a break initially so I could watch Kamen rider for the first time>>22594808It did but toho was saving their budget for the recently announced Godzilla 1984 sequel. Speaking of that particular movie, I couldn’t help but chuckle when I saw the film poster and banner with his name very clearly seen in the background in one episode of byclossar when the cast were at the theater
Though the Fujiko Fujio duo are best known for Doreamon, Obake No Q-Taro, Per-Man, Ninja Hattori-Kun, etc,they, or rather specifically the "Fujiko Fujio A" half of the duo, Motou Abiko, did a couple hero manga too, & I've got 2 of them raw!Silver Cross, which isn't necessarily a superhero manga, more like a guns-blazing spy action sort of deal, looks really cool & fun!But for some ungodly reason, I genuinely have no idea why, THEY PUT THE FIRST ARC LAST! Or at least this reprint did, back half of vol. 5 thru vol. 6.https://archive.org/details/silvercrossmangaThree Z-Men, which just from skimming through it raw is giving me some Cyborg 009 vibes, which may or may not be coincidental since they debuted 5 months apart.https://archive.org/details/threezmen

Finished Shaider, wanted to check out Zaido: The Space Sheriff, that spin-off made in the Philippines. A few places, including an unsourced Wikipedia page, says it has 100 episodes. But how long are these episodes? Around 22 minutes, an hour, or are these mini episodes? Cause all I can find are clips, there's a link for the show in the pastebin in OP but it leads to an empty mega folder. I don't care if it's garbage I still wanna give it a shot.
>>22595788>>22595792damn looks like they didn't get the movie
Finished jiraiya and unfortunately had to watch episode 34 of nininger to see some kind of epilogue for his character I really did like this one, but in comparison to other metal heroes it’s different as I mentioned earlier, side ninja characters were great in particular and fight choreography was awesome. That being said here what I think of these shows so farJuspion-Sharivan-Metalder-Gavan-Jiraiya-Shaider-Speilban. Up next is a now recently licensed show by discotek, Mobile cop jiban[aka in some circles Japanese robocop]
>>22595914Oh shit it's out? My pre-order on AmiAmi got delayed to this month but I haven't heard anything since.
>>22596352I don't think it's out yet.Amemiya got his early.and it is kinda smallhttps://twitter.com/keitaamemiya01/status/1782726506130891251
>>22596394Oh that actually makes sense. Should be soon then if people are getting promotional copies.
Started jiban, so far he seems like a more versatile robocop, also his anti-biolom laws give him more freedom than restraining like robocop’s equivalent lol.
Does anybody have the rest of the Filipino-English Solbrain dub? I found 1-32 on archive but the uploader said they weren't restoring 33-53 because it's too low quality.I don't mind watching the second have in VCD-Vision. Just wanna show a metal hero to some friends.
>>22597888Ask the Apollo Dub Archive, they found it in the first place, but I don't know if they're active in any capacity anymore, I think they're technically still around via a Telegram? Worst case scenario see if you can ask around people who were involved with them. Except Kalhi Balto of course fuck that guy.
>>22597901I have no clue who they are but I'll get to em. I might ask the archive.org uploader if they have the rest. Would prefer to not dive into Telegram.
>>22597924I AM the uploader, & I don't, I regret not having the foresight to just download & upload all of them while they were still easily available.
>>22598940Gonna go after biolon again
Very short Lion-Maru chapter, must've been from Bessatsu Bouken-Oh as opposed to the main serialization.https://mangadex.org/title/a2911710-50ea-42ba-b416-5a628728caaa/the-vigilant-lionmaruNext up will be the Ultraman chapter based on the Skydon episode.
Does anyone know if there's anyone I could pay to, if not translate a toku for me, then at least provide Japanese subtitles? Because the simple fact that Japanese DVDs ALMOST NEVER have captions is just fucking cruel!
Turns out there are complete Mandarin subs for alot, and I fucking mean ALOT of shows that aren't in English, & I am furiously jealous.
>>22597956Just contacted 3 members of the group, none of them have 33-53.I pray you have them misplaced on a hard-drive or something.
>>22600082https://jimaku.cc/dramashttps://kitsunekko.net/dirlist.php?dir=subtitles%2Fjapanese%2Ftry these anon.
>>22600760Really? I guess you'll just have to try their Telegram then, all their MEGAs got nuked but I heard everything from there's been preserved there...But I MIGHT be able to get a guy to put 'em on Archive.
>>22600812Just checked, not on their Telegram :(
>>22601265Oh what the hell!Then I'm afraid I don't know what to tell you.
>>22601384Well if you wanted the dub so you could show a Metal Heroes show to your friends, then I guess you're gonna have to ease them in with the dub, & then pull the rug out from under them & make them have tohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUtK7Ktq50I
>>22601458Guess I'll say fuck it and ElevenLabs the last batch. Should have enough voice data from the first 32 to get some pretty good models.Also, on a general note, this could be applied to a lotta shows. Might start doing AI dubs for folks to enjoy.
>>22601729If you want my opinion I'd say that sounds extremely ill-advised at best, both because of how uppity people get about AI in general & in the interest of quality. Besides making a dub presupposes you have access to the M&E (music & effect) tracks for the given show, & I'm pretty sure those aren't publicly available for ANY toku show, but you do you, I ain't your dad.
i don't understand gojibum

Got to the episode with mad garbo and needless to say not only was I was sort of kind of expecting this thing to be a girl as the name was sort of a giveaway and it’s bios always referred to it as a she, but what I didn’t expect was her to have freya’s voice(from VOTOMS) come out of it lol

Why havent they made a Toku yet where it's just girls beating each other up in increasingly skimpy bikinis?
Hope someone someday does Ken Ishikawa's version of Henshin Ninja Arashi, I mean hypothetically I could do it, but I doubt I could do it very well, because it would involve cramming alot of long horizontal words into tiny vertical speech bubbles, & I already have enough trouble with that as is! Like, Arashi is spelled in English horizontally with 5 letters, & in Japanese vertically with 1 kanji, & the speech bubbles are designed with the latter in mind, you see the problem?
>>22604637There’s also his version of Taro.
Jesus Christ this made me chuckle, it’s such a perfect out of context moment, onto episode 24 now
>>22604878Also finished the movie after episode 24 as intended, this one’s starting to really grow on me as a top tier show. Depending on how this one ends I could potentially put this above gavan or even metalder
Another colorization of everyone's favorite ninja chicken.
6 years later and my most popular post is still Mighty Lady. Coincidentally, the only reason the site exists was because some anon asked where to watch Mighty Lady 7 years ago. The whole Passion of Garfield thing also got memed into oblivion.https://letterboxd.com/film/all-about-mighty-lady/In terms of demographics, it's actually more varied than expected.- Mostly middle-aged and older people from Japan and the rest of Asia (makes sense, I'm big into vintage stuff) - Various types of fetishists, especially ryona enjoyers and some more obscure tastes like Kigurumi and robot girls, but "tokusatsu porn" is still one of the most popular referrers - Strange niche film enthusiasts and occasionally reviewers like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi4sEPhzvyc- A surprising amount of young women and diverse crowds from Youtube, ex-Twitter, Tumblr & Neocities. The number of views on this is actually insane. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biV2AEvOH_8And of course just regular toku fans. But considering it's actually how people with no prior exposure to the genre get introduced to it at this point, I wonder if some are left with a wrong impression of it. Top countries in terms of stats are USA and Japan, Indonesia and rest of Asia and Brazil/South America. Winspector is popular in Germany.
There's this Indonesian superhero movie from the early 80's that I've been wanting to see subbed forever,& apparently English subs DO exist, but they're locked behind one of THESE kinds of sites. https://sloppysecondsales.com/index.php/product/gundala-putra-petir-aka-lightning-man-1981-region-free-dvd-english-subtitles/ Would y'all know if those kinds of sites are even remotely trustworthy?
>>22604878Now finished episode 28 and some lady from space appeared(from what I know this is queen cosmos, I have a feeling she isn’t gonna be a disappointment like youki was from speilban
True Lost Soul...
>>22607224Oh shit, he's got a face on his crotch/skirt
Anyone have that image with like 20 different toku, all of them captioned Power Ranger except for the last one captioned as Super Sentai?
If y'all ever wanted to read the Microman manga, raw of course, here it is.https://archive.org/details/micromanmanga
Y'All might know that early in his career, Ishinomori did the manga for Kaiketsu Harimau, and it was digitized along with all his other works, emphasis on WAS, because it got delisted from every online storefront in 2019, is there ANY POSSIBILITY that anyone or anywhere might have it or am I luck outta shit?
>>22607811I always wanted the Microman 2005 manga.Sadly Dogmask says it is not going to be released as a compilation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC1GbMWHEYYyoutube just recommended me these, it's pretty soulful. it does have british people in it though, which is suboptimal
Onto episode 31 of jiban and wow manabu from jiraiya shows up, so these two shows take place in the same setting apparently, a first since the space sheriff trilogy I guess the world ninja’s were secretly facing off against biolon cells lol
>>22607998I find it charming that a brittish guy decided to be a local hero in Japan, but the action feels really sluggish. This would be OK for a stage show, but in camera, it looks awkward.Also, the OP makes the two guys look like they're a couple, lmao.
>>22607998This was pretty fun. Extremely indie feeling but I kinda love that vibe. It made me laugh a couple times so I count that as a win. Looking forward to more episodes.
>>22608413Finished episode 36, well those first three episodes were quite something, mad garbo faking a redemption arc and the next two had the death and resurrection of jiban(PERFECT JIBAN) stronger than before I’m really loving this one.
