>>19517122Thanks! BTW if you know any mecha fans that fans/about to watch Escaflowne or Ryu Knight please direct them to this place, the pages could really use fleshing out and most of the bare basics are already there.
>>19515915Man, I hope we get something big for the 30th anniversary.

More Nemurin coming soon from Nanto!https://skarohuntingsociety.wordpress.com/2021/04/01/dokincho-nemurin-1984-episodes-01-041619-20/If the new eps are as batshit as what I've seen so far, we're in for a treat.
>>19520155Talk to us, friend; what is it you enjoy about Galactic Wars?
there's any way to watch girl gun lady?
>>19521209Good boys - did Big Nova ever confirm why it got left be the wayside in favour of new projects? Translator issues? I know Izumi used LovexCare and Metallic's translating Kagestar, but I don't know who was TLing Kyodain...
>>19522304Waiting for it to air might be a good start, my dude
>>19522094Me on the left
>>19520155Is this worth a watch?
>>19515766I dig it. Are they making more? It’s actually better than some of the more recent big Toku shows.
>>19518729The sequel’s good, definitely worth a watch.
>>19516424https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvs8flalzmQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRgKspaOdZcFirst two are on YT, at least.
>>19521209It’s a shame that their 45th anniversary is on the same day as someone else’s 50th golden anniversary
>>19522251Not him but>Nice comfy episode numbers>Loads of traveling and serialization>Kick ass theme>Main general is the same actor as the Shiranui Leader from Iron King>The MOTW are alright for basically "Galactic Ninjas"
Sh15uya torrent is dead, and the DDL only has ep 1 and 9. anyone got the rest?
>>19523449I was mainly aiming to encourage that anon to post more than just an image. That said, I always happy to hear any anon expound on why they like a show. I never personally got further that the two eps on TTW, but it wasn't for lack of enthusiasm as much as just forever having stuff I'm meaning to watch. I should at least watch the original movie, though, as it's only 100-ish minutes and I'll more than happily watch anything with Etsuko Shihomi in it.
>>19523569https://tracker.tvnihon.com/index.php?category=45https://archive.org/details/01FaceThat archive.org version is probably the TV-N version, too (I haven't watched either). If you're after the Lovegen version, I can't help, but Lovegen were never a particularly credible group anyway, from what I remember hearing.
>>19523084To be honest Jack's anniversary doesn't even get mentioned by TsuPro or Ultraman officials, they're too focused on either Man or Tiga this year.
>>19523849That's a real shame too, given Jack personality wise was the prototype for a lot of heroes afterwards
Happy 25th anniversary to this goofball. Yeah, the exact same day as the original Kamen Rider with 25 years difference.
>>19515915The first movie is better than the second, but they're both good . The OVA is great too and has one of my personal favorite OPs.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W76-yIbb6JQ
Between Kamen Rider, Return Of Ultraman, Spectreman, Mirrorman, & Silver Kamen, it’s only now dawned on me that 1971 was a REALLY damn good year for toku.
>>19525431How many times has this image alone been posted here and you're just now thinking that?
>>19526103Glad this image remembers Andro Mask.
>>19526567I hope someone subs some more of Suki Suki Majo Sensei, I enjoyed the first two eps on TTW.
>>19526103My bad.And my bad for forgetting Suki Suki Majou-Sensei.
>>19528483No worries; my post sounds rather more abrasive upon re-reading than I intended, no offense meant.
>>19515344From the thumbnail I thought they were at that pool.
>>19528775Hahahahahaha, it does look kinda reminiscent.They wouldn't be the first kaiju to visit THAT POOL, to be fair.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9yFx5Pl3-I
>>19525187Happy 25th to someone that deserved a full series run
>>19531148I would've happily watched more episodes if they'd made them. The silly, rushed 2deep4U ending was kinda great, though.
Opinions on GARO, gents? I’m watching it in release order with my sister, currently on Makai no Hana and I think quite highly of the series
>>19532465Never got around to later stuff, but the first season is still great. Same with the first season of the anime (avoid the second trust me).
>>19531148>>19531233The guy who created Shauna remembered the show at least
Is the Garo anime worth watching?
>>19535821The first one is the best. The second one is mediocre. The third one is okay but don't expect it as good as the first one.
I found the first 2 episodes of Rainbowman with Chinese subs, & most of the time they were just Chinese subs, but sometimes they actually had the Japanese dialogue WRITTEN DOWN beneath them!Needless to say it’d be REALLY USEFUL if they did that for the whole thing.https://youtu.be/Tpzf_tnDGb8
>>19525187Is this show worth a watch? I’m about to finish one of my shows, and I’m considering Changerion next.
>>19536613Yes
>>19532465I like Amemiya's work in general, but I could never get into Garo, despite trying out the first and second series. It just felt like the wrong kind of edgy for me. I really enjoyed the Tougen Flute special, though, so there's likely more stuff in the franchise I'd enjoy.
Is the Bima X movie still on Netflix? It seemed weird to me that they didn't have either series, but they had the epilogue movie that wrapped everything up and spent a significant amount of time on a dead villain's backstory, all of which you had zero context for if you just went in blind.
>>19536613It's a very early prototype of the stuff you'd see in Inoue's later shows like KRs Agito, Faiz, and Kiva. It's not terrible because it's before Inoue went full retard, but you can see the beginnings of what is to come.
What is Armor Hero Hunter God Brain Crisis
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWQJ5VgsaxIOkay I need subs for Morimori Bokkun.
>>19537209Probably the best of all the Armor Hero stuff, also iirc currently the last.
>>19537199It's because of the separated rights. Bima (first season) and Bima-X TV Shows are with MNC/RCTI, while Satria Heroes (the movie) is with the original creator himself (Reino Barack). RCTI have their own streaming service called RCTI Plus, and they have the whole series of Bima and Bima-X there, but I don't think it's available for outside of Indonesia.
>>19537285Uploaded exactly on the 35th anniversary of the first episode, nice.
>>19515915That's kind of how I feel about Hakaider. It has his best design and some genuinely cool moments, but the writing is all over the place. It's enjoyable as a dumb popcorn Japanese B-movie though.
>>19537285Having watched Bokkun (raw)... it's alright. It has a lot of good going for it, and it is very cute, but it's also very unfocused and inconsistent. They frequently introduce new characters that just really disrupt the flow of the show.Better than Robot Hacchan, but not even remotely CLOSE to as good as Robomaru.
Why is there no live action Guyver from Japan, also watch Dark Hero.
New Dogengers hero.
>>19539168
>>19539173Then there's Junretsuger.
>>19539186
>>19539173I really dislike his design, but maybe his storyline will be more interesting than idoll's.
Anybody seen or remember this?
>>19539441yeah, features Carl in one ep, who clearly isn't Strong Bad
>>19539457The series is already clearly toku inspired,But a pilot for an unmade earlier version of the show, circa 1999, featured clips from actual toku, including Ultraman, Giant Robo, Spectreman, & Kamen Rider.https://youtu.be/BLgjQPYVGF0
If anyone here has it, could they seed the torrent for Godzilla Final Wars on Nyaa? This one: https://nyaa.si/view/1187913
>>19539441Damn right I have. I really hope it comes back one day.
Akio Jissouji-directed Eiji Tsuburaya documentary "Father of Ultra Q" getting subbed! https://twitter.com/ManSubber/status/1379642575292784640?s=20If you can drop them a like/comment/whatever, fingers crossed it'll help encourage them to sub more stuff like this!
>>19539168 Do we know when it's starting?l
The first episode of Girl Gun Lady is up on Bandai Spirits Global Channel on YouTube, in case anyone’s interested. No subs though
What makes a show toku?https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QEuvWRecCJE
>>19540394For some people, they specifically think of it as shows from Japan, usually featuring a transforming (or at least suited) hero, but everything from The Twilight Zone to Star Trek to Lois & Clark to Thunderbirds to ...Barney the Dinosaur would count from a Japanese perspective.
>>19540012WTF? Based
Is the I-doll special epsidode ripped?
>>19540394Austists on this board tend to lose their shit about it, but when someone says “Tokusatsu” they are generally referring to a sub genre of transforming hero/science fiction that tends to follow the lines of a live action hero fighting off monsters in a MOTW fashion. People tend not to refer to superhero shows like CW as Toku because in context they are simply a different thing. No one says Flash is their favorite Tokusatsu, for example, and if it’s American they’ll usually reference something like Captain Power or Power Rangers. Technically it’s all-encompassing, but in discussions there a context.
In an English context, I'd define tokusatsu as all Japanese works that fit the Japanese definition of tokusatsu (notable use of special effects), plus any international work purposely trying to emulate those works.
Just because Precure have transformations, they're not toku.
>>19541080People who say Precure is toku are retarded, animation by definition can't be tokusatsu. The live action Sailor Moon and the Girl X Heroine series are actual magical girl toku shows.
>>19541119Those "Precure = toku" people always think transformation means toku.
>>19540012Yoooooo
>>19539168>>19539173>>19539186>>19539191Where can i find more scans like these with Local hero characters? Can't wait for the new Dogengers season.
>>19541189Your best bet is stuff like the local hero fest programme, because 90% of local heroes don't have magazine spots and even less appear on TV.
>>19540928>when someone says “Tokusatsu” they are generally referring to a sub genre of transforming hero/science fiction that tends to follow the lines of a live action hero fighting off monsters in a MOTW fashionUsing tokusatsu in that context feels a little off now that we're more familiar with the plethora of shows like the Fushigi Comedy series and their ilk. It's all tokusatsu, and we can use terms like kyodai/giant hero if we want to be more specific.
Girl Gun Lady is out https://nyaa.si/view/1368689
>>19541710Still no subs? Pity, hope some one picks it up
>>19541770https://nyaa.si/view/1368861Guess again fucker. Tell us if it's any good.
>>19537209>Armor Hero Hunter God Brain Crisisholy shit that titleshould I watch Armor Hero in order or is it like KR/Sentai where they don't connect
>>19542121Cheers
>>19542202Only the first 2 shows have any sort of English translation, they both have dubs, but only the first is subbed.
>>19539168>>19539173That absolute murder smile though.
>>19541189Those scans are from Uchusen, and Dogengers are one of the new show in their highlights, they're kinda bigger than the usual local heroes now. Junretsuger aren't local heroes, it's a new movie by Toei.
>>19523849Oh I wasn’t referring to jack
>>19542455If you meant the original Kamen Rider, it was on the April 3rd. Both Jack and Kyodain are on April 2nd.
My new computer gets here tomorrow & I pray to every deity of every faith that my hard drive doesn’t brick trying to transfer everything.Because if it does then that would make continuing Lion-Maru not impossible but a monolithic pain in the ass.
>>19539168>>19539173I find it funny that Great Z's suit actor is Takaiwa and the face actor was Hiromu/Red Buster, while Rookie's suit actor is Oshikawa (Red Buster's suit actor)
First time watching a non-jp toku, I can't tell if it's a good show after just one episode but there's an effort being made.Is this the "first season is better than the second" type of deal or it actually gets better?
>>19542588If you end up liking the show enough to watch the second season, I found it streaming here.https://tukoz.com/satria-garuda-bima-x.htmlBUT BEFORE THAT, there’s also a special that links the 2 seasons, I dunno if you have it but in case you don’t, it’s listed as BIMA EXTRA on this here Archive upload.https://archive.org/details/bima2013
So whats the wierdest or most interesting concept or theme you have seen for a local hero type of character? Most of what I've seen seem to be based on a certain location or kind of company.
>>19543250>Most of what I've seen seem to be based on a certain location or kind of company.... Because that's what they are literally about, local heroes are about supporting a place or concept.
>>19543250Helps families maintain their budgets.
>>19542588Second season's issue had a plot that didn't really deserve the amount of episodes it had and it felt dragging when being watched weekly like i did, but maybe its better binged but its also a more ambitious show that explores the setting way more so its sort of compensated.I don't think there's a clear better one.That said, the finale movie is terrible.
>>19543427Lol so he's a financial advisor hero. Thats pretty cool.
>>19543385I know about that, I was just curious what kinds of hero's were out there since there are so many differant types of local hero characters.
Happy 15th anniversary to Bio Planet WoO. Just watched the first episode raw and are those students dead after getting "eaten" by the kaiju? wtf
>>19544287Really great, comfy and surprisingly dark/full-on show with some fun and well-crafted kyodai hero action, watched and loved it raw. I don't want to give anything away, but I'll say that you'll find yourself having the same sort of "WTF is with the bodycount here?" moments if you keep watching.
https://berekescrubs.wordpress.com/2021/04/08/tekkouki-mikazuki-complete-series/Nice!>Content Warning for Wonder 7: Fatphobia.Lmao
>>19545733Is this any different from the HnT release?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtgxNNJHM28Official subs?
>>19545733holy shit someone actually did it; thank you
>>19545958>Anyway, this version uses the DVDs as a source with a variable frame-rate encode at 480p, with both softsub and hardsub versions. Audio is 5.1 channel surround, since that’s the only mix provided, and at a higher bitrate than previous releases (which had issues with low audio bitrate). This uses the Hi No Tori translation with some editing.
>>19546139thanks for the headsup
I just got my new computer,my hard drive died so I had to go with a backup to restore my data.Of which I couldn't or didn't need to get back except for a few key software, not including Sony Vegas.& honestly, most of the stuff I had there was either for projects I've already completed, or stuff that I can easily recover, so Lion-Maru should be back in business hopefully sooner than later.Also, my dad got a computer with a solid state drive.BUT AT HALF THE RAM OF MY OLD COMPUTER.GOOD DECISION MAKING.
Has anyone seen the Zaborger movie?
Love & Eve, not sure if local heroes or just costume made by a designer.
>>19547904They're Bamco Arts-created idols, described as "A.I.droids". They had a pair of Koichi Sakamoto-directed, Naruhisa Arakawa-written MVs with Ultra Geed's actor.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xZH8STtr_Qhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMKWQ2wrJpohttps://twitter.com/AI_droid
Lion-Maru is NEARLY back in business, but not quite yet due to the fact that I don't as of this moment have a mouse.Because for some reason this stupid thing ONLY accepts USB 3.0. O N L Y .& hell if I'm ever gonna sub something with one of those stupid fucking pad mouse things.
>>19548308Ok that is neat.
>>19537492>I don't think it's available for outside of Indonesia.It is. No subs though.
>>19540351>No subs thoughWhat did anon mean by this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtgxNNJHM28
>>19541139That's because burgers only like Henshin Heroes because it reminds them of Power Rangers.
>>19549572OK WE ARE DEFINITELY COOKING WITH GAS NOW!Though, a fair word of warning, the next few episodes, specifically, 13 to 17, will probably be in lower video quality.This is due to the fact that on my torrent, those episodes AND ONLY THOSE SPECIFIC EPISODES,will just simply utterly absolutely unequivocally NOT SEED ALL THE WAY.Deepest apologies for the inconvenience.
>>19550050There was only auto Japanese when they uploaded it, they added subs later
>>19550189Sure go for it, you should still have those episodes downloading in the background as a just in case (also post the torrent here so anons can pitch in if they want)
How's Legend Hero Samgugjeon?
>>19551503I’m afraid it’s not happening, this torrent’s been out for years, & it has zero full seeds, & those 5 episodes are the reason why, every peer has the whole series seeded except for those.
>>19552120Good
Man, I'm glad the dogengers blew up, but the more big sponsorships and deals they get, the less indie/local they feel, you know?
>>19554087There are still thousands of other local heroes, plus it's nice to have Toku besides the big three,
>>19554087>>19554100I think they still have a local feel to them even if they have a show based around them. Like with how the show is set in there hometown to promote the heros and villains. Plus it wouldn't be the first time an indie project grew in popularity.
Around 7 minutes into Lion-Maru episode 13 & it now occurs to me that this is the 2nd sea/beach themed episode in a row.I guess the crew just found a convenient beach to film on & wanted to make the most of it.
Recs on tokus with female leads? Subbed of course
Anyone have an Ultraman series guide image?
>>19555966step 1: watch ultraman shows
>>19555966watch everything .jpg
>>19555966Just start with the OG series then move on to Ultra Seven. They're both really good.
anyone got that Dogengers picture that goes "takes your meds and sleep" ?
>>19555646Legitimately one of the best documentaries I've seen
>>19556335yeah it was a very legit behind-the-scenes of Supaidaaman
>>19556378It's was really heartwarming to see how strongly Spy Dama's actor felt about the role.
>>19539191Wait, is that blue guy Shuuichi Kitaoka from Kamen Rider Ryuki? I didn't know he still acted in tokusatsu other than some of Zolda's future appearances...
>>19515344Is she about to get fucked by those things?
>>19556547Yes, these four are from a real boyband called Junretsu, consist of mostly past toku actors; Gao Black, Kabuto Raiger, Zolda, one guy who never been in toku. The last guy finally get a toku role in this movie as the green one. Oh yeah Junretsu was originally had Gills too as the fifth member before left the group because of the controversy.
My translator ran out of time zone just before he could get to the very very very last couple lines in the episode,but if the translation subreddit acts fast enough, I should still hopefully be able to get the episode before tomorrow.
>>19542588I’ve only seen the first 5 episodes of the first series. It’s fun enough, and has some good fight scenes.I also saw the movie because it was on Netflix, and even with a coherent concept of what was happening it was pretty damn bad. A massive chunk of the beginning has nothing to do with anything else, and the movie just feels like a bunch of scenes slapped together.
>>19556902AND WE'RE OFFICIALLY BACK IN BUSINESS BOYS!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MULyPUFXYvoPic related by me.
>>19556197No, but the line's in every episode.
>>19539698They released some YouTube shorts a few years back. Think it was connected to the Kickstarter that funded two albums.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6Am-FlPBO4&list=PLfGTlq4Bo5ymTOAq07jG4a7Djlqc3xPUa>>19539463I'm so sad that this wasn't picked up back in the day. Between the bigger focus on action and their music from that era being waaay better than the more Hi-Five Soup style stuff in the Super Show it would have been fantastic. The Super Show was fine, but it's one of those things I have a hard time recommending to people.
>>19557339It was actually GONNA be picked up, but Disney bought out the channel it was gonna be on, so you can add that to your list of reasons to hate Disney.
>>19555488Films: Zeiram I&II, Lady Battle Cop, Cutie HoneyTV I've seen: Vanny Knights. Sukeban Deka doesn't really contain anything you could call tokusatsu, but had a lot of staff from Metal Hero and such. It's also great and the first two are subbed, along with spiritual successor Shoujo Commander Izumi. The first two episodes of the female-fronted installments of the Fushigi Comedy Series are on the Toei channel. I guess you can also count the wonderful Kawaii! JeNny, which got subs for two episodes.TV I haven't seen: Kamen Tenshi Rosetta, Cutie Honey: The Live, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Miracle Tunes.>Subbed of courseYou've ruled out Manpuku Shoujo Dragonet and Bio Planet: WoO, but they're both pretty great.
Say did that new season of Dogengers start airing? I thought it was going to air this month.
>>19557247The train keeps chugging
>>19545733Oh man... Am I ready for no-restraints Amemiya/Inoue combo?
>>19558133.. It started yesterday? People aren't discussing it because no subs and y'allgers needs more translators.
>>19555488is Hana no Asuka Gumi toku? If so...
>>19558312the TV series is still unsubbed isn't it?
>>19558308Lol is that what Dogengers translates to?
>>19558538Pretty much, afaik

>>19558133Yeah, same day as this week's Zenkaiger that used Go-Busters Gear while Dogengers 2 have Red Buster's actor.
>>19560017https://gofund.me/4dbcd8f1You could do something like this but Bresee is more well known in the Toku community.
>>19560041I think a Patreon/SubscribeStar would work better for my purposes but thanks anyway!
>>19560017>Can't do the latter because paying multiple VAs to fandub a 51-episode show would be even more expensive.Wanting to fandub all that sounds like an insane project, you would have more luck either with a movie or one of the big 3 tokus since there's more fanbase to interact with, maybe some people could dub for free.
>>19560053Probably, fandubs for whole shows are insane by nature, but this is a show with M&Es for all 51 episodes publicly available,WHEN DOES THAT EVER HAPPEN FOR ANYTHING, LET ALONE FOR A TOKU.I just think it's too tantalizing of an opportunity to not want to do anything with.
>>19558312>>19557423Thanks anons!
Was this guy supposed to actually be Kikaider or was the tank just a weird reference?
>>19561280I think it was a cheeky reference. Apparently one that got fans mad.
>>19561280>>19561609That reminds me, the Hakaider movie actually did get a sequel, complete with a story written by Inoue,in the form of a light gun game for the Saturn called Hakaider Last Judgement.These were its versions of Waruder, Bijinder, and Gill.
>>19561830Gurjev and Mikhail also inexplicably return. The fact that it was written by Inoue and directed by Amemiya explains so much of the weirdness.
https://youtu.be/UwaatoL9DV0I guess they're uploading Gun Girl Lady every week.
>>19561280I actually spent the whole movie expecting Gurjev to turn into not-Kikaider and fight Hakaider as the true final boss instead of Mikhail getting a last second paintjob as a Kikaider reference. I blame MMZ making me assume that Gurjev was going to be Copy X.
>>19563213I like the show so far but the action could be better, maybe the budget they have is low. While it might not fit the style of the show, Sakamoto would love to work in this show since he loves skirts and legs so much.
>Girl Gun Lady>Shills the Alto kits before the gunsokay?
>>19561830>>19562990Ehh. Would have preferred either a novel or a comic instead of a poorly done Saturn light gun game. I understand that Hakaider was supposed to lead into a spin off tv show (that became Changerion) so I suppose they had to get those planned ideas out somehow.
>>19561830I get that Waruder and Bijinder's designs haven't aged very well, but they should have gone the same route they did with Hakaider himself. Did Amemiya's Hakaider or the SIC come first?
>>19532465I actually just finished Lament of the Dark Dragon which was pretty meh if it's supposed to be the end of Kouga's story, because it definitely doesn't feel like any kind of ending as opposed to just another self-contained story. I thought the first two seasons and movies were great though.I assume you're watching in release order, so what did you think of Yami wo Terasu mono as I'm about to move on to it? And also how is Makai no Hana as I've heard it's one of the weakest parts of the franchise? I thought about skipping Raiga entirely but apparently Moonbow Traveler is good so I guess I can't.If anyone else has comments on what to expect I'm all ears.
Erst while, Kamuya Ride manga, takes place in legendary young Yamato Takeru era.

>>19566997I don't think this was translated last time I checked it out - will have to go back and read it.
Next Lion-Maru episode should hopefully be out at some point tomorrow.In the meantime lemme walk you through how this goes.I get up anywhere between 9 & 12.I hit up a Brazilian friend of mine to help translate the dubbed episodes, of which this current episode is the 2nd to last of, I can do the Portuguese subbed episodes myself.I only have until 7 before he runs out of time zone,I have to take 2 hours out of my daylight hours to exercise because y'know, health's important & whatnot.I have the attention span of an amnesiac goldfish and am distracted just as easily, so you can imagine what that does to my productivity,& my friend's not always available to help at exactly the most opportune times because obviously he's got a life too.So with all that combined, in a single day I can get about, at most half an episode, on average anywhere between 5-10 minutes.
>>19566442Yami wo Terasu Mono is pretty good but they overuse CGI in it, which you’ll probably find annoying if like me you love the suits of this series. I haven’t finished Makai no Hana yet but I’m enjoying it so far, but I can see why some would think it’s retreading old ground. I like Raiga and Mayuri though, so that helps

NEW LION-MARU.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9yowKPMXdE
Today is the 55th anniversary of Daimajin, and LONG overdue for a modern day revival
For a second I thought it was the FUCKING POOL in OP. Has it ever been used in toku? Just wondering
Akira Kushida was featured on Ningen Kansatsu Monitoring!https://streamable.com/oh6x7u
>>19563213>Teen girls fangirling over plastic figures instead of k-shitMy suspension of disbelief can't go that far
>>19573357This is how we can tell you've never interacted with transformers fans.
>>19573359Transformers fangirls are fujoshits and they're closer to Saint Seiya fans (toyetic all-male property from the 80s). Apples and oranges
My dutch friend just found this by searching "toku" on Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SLDsBVLWawanyone seen this? there's softcore porn on it too.
>>19573440Oh, that's the bitch that wanted to get the dogengers subs shut down because "he knew the producer and he was upset about the pirating" and that made a shooter with members of the toku community as targets because of a fit he threw.
>>19572959Except if you mean a new Daimajin movie but still set in the Warring States period, we already got Daimajin Kanon.
>>19572689That was a really good episode, probably my favorite so far. Really loved the MOTW, and really makes you wonder how exactly the demons operate and are created.
>>19573440>>19573466that's that crazy fuck who threatens his former cohorts with release lewds of them online, but still has some good videos about how to build your own toku helmet, right?
>Megaman was mainly inspired by Ninja Captor
>>19572961Yup, it was used in Fourze
>>19574134You mean Cassharn?
>>19572961As well as Fourze, it's also technically figured in the Ultra franchise >>19528824
>>19573357We keep our plastic toys to ourselves
>>19574123Wtf I didn't think he was that scummy
>>19573440The concept itself has some sort of merit, but it’s shit.
>>19572689Samefagging, but does my nigga come back? All time MOTW right there.This episode really encapsulates one of P Productions’ strongest aspects: Their ability to characterize their villains and monsters. A lot of Toku around that time tended to lean into just having every enemy be about the same but with different powers/designs, but P really had an incredible ability to create enemies that you cared for and felt very memorable one way or another. What they lacked in budget they made up for in personality and concepts.
>>19575261He does come back later, won’t say when though.And as for P-Productions’ villains, in my experience Goa/Rodak wasn’t technically a very interesting villain, but he was a great, highly entertaining & memorable one, thanks to both his design & his excellent voice performances in both the English & Japanese versions.Dr. Gori was given slightly more depth, & combined with again fantastic voice performances in both versions of the show, he’s one of the best toku villains of the 70’s.Lion-Maru has Nezuganda, & later Tiger Joe. And I haven’t seen anything from Monster Prince, Fuun Lion Maru, Tiger Seven or Zaborgar so I can’t speak for them.
>>19575399Spectreman had a lot of memorable and characterized villains and monsters. Dr. Gori, Karas, Dustman, Satan King, Magullah, Moon Thunder, Zuno, Kyudora, etc.
>>19575452Damn, I forgot about Dustman, & I need really to watch the rest of Spectreman.
