 Tokusatsu shows feature costumed superheroes pitted against evil creatures and/or organizations, through the aid of gadgets, explosions, and face kicking. Spawned back in the 1950s with kaiju films such as Godzilla, and Super Giant, Japan's first costumed superhero commited to film, the tokusatsu genre has spawned many popular series, such as: Kamen Rider  Created in 1971 by Shotaro Ishinomori, Kamen Rider shows often feature a single transforming hero who's powers and arsenal is usually directly related to the antagonists of the series, whether biological or technological. Sometimes, additional riders aside from the titular one are introduced, whether to aid them or antagonize them (or both). Super Sentai  Also started by Ishinomori, the first Super Sentai series was Goranger in 1975. The shows feature 5 (or more) heroes pitted against groups of evil monsters, often alien in origin. More often than not, their opponents go giant-size and require a double beatdown with the assistance of giant support robots. Ultraman, the alien crusader who fights to protect Earth  Metal Heroes, armor laden cyborgs, transforming humans, or what-have-you, fighting alien and underworld threats alike  What's it all boil down to? TOYZ, BOYZ  Like any kids franchise, toku shows are made to push plastic crack down the gullet of young boys and financially irresponsible adults. Besides the featured gimmick-laden robot and roleplay toys, there are also several series of highly-articulated action figures, such as S.H. Figuarts, S.I.C. (Super Imaginative Chogokin), and the SFX Revoltech series for kaiju and foreign properties. ------------------------------------------------ CURRENTLY RUNNING/UPCOMING  Kamen Rider Gaim c/o: Æsir | onore TV-Nihon Poppin' and lockin' and peelin' Latest Episode: 2 [THREAD]  Zyuden Sentai Kyoryger Dinosaurs, again?

A new Ultraman TV series is starting up, and it's not a compilation or a grimdark! http://herotaku.com/2013/04/12/99596/ultraman-ginga-unveiled/ quote:Ultraman Ginga will take the form of 30 minute episodes and be shown within the New Ultraman Retsuden (the Ultra biography series), starting from the 10th of July. There will be 13 Episodes in total; 6 will be broadcast between July and August; a further 5 will be broadcast during November and December; and there are 2 special episodes to be screened at events. Unlike the previous series shown within Retsuden, Ultraman Zero Fight, these episodes will be 30 minutes and not shorts. The episode count is fine, but... I really don't get the scheduling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDdW85NQ9wQ    Aaaand toys

Markovnikov posted:Something else I've noticed is that you can really tell that there are probably men inside the Yellow/Pink Ranger suits. Was this a thing with older Sentai? Or is it just part of the parody?  Behold, Miss America's Glorious Girth.

toomanyninjas posted:Clearly now our only response is to start a Kyoryuger thread, reducing this one to once-fortnightly posts about Showa Riders and/or Denjiman. No. Just post in the Gaim thread. Or don't. Just stop whining about the thread existing. I linked it in the OP just the same as I did with Garo. Any other show someone wants to make a thread about, I'll link to it just the same. It's not like there's any shortage of things to talk about in this thread, like there was one group subbing all these shows still. Chibs fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Oct 8, 2013 |
