HK Subs talk: I have a copy of Street Fighter II: The Movie with HK subs, and they get all the names wrong in amazing ways, or try to translate names into English where applicable. When Fei Long appears, the subs refer to him as "Fly Dragon". Sagat is "Shagert", and so on. At the end when the newspaper says "Shadaloo defeated! Interpol victorious!" (or something like that), the subs helpfully say "Interpol defeated! Shadaloo wins!" You can kinda tell in a lot of places that the subtitle lines are like mangled versions of the English dub script, which makes the whole thing even more mysterious, since they apparently had the English dub kicking around to reference anyway.

Ultraman Orb 1 is up. Garo Season 1 HD is also going to be a thing. Something something TNG remaster something. Also is this the right thread to talk about Butchy Gen's Wuxia Puppets Show? Because it feels like a toku with puppets and chuunis

I like that they're straying a bit from the formula with orb, I hope his support team continue to be a bunch of chucklebuggers with handcams and duct-taped inventions. its pretty funny to see a expensive-rear end Microsoft surface tablet mounted to the weather machine made out of pvc pipe.

Also it looks like Bird Kusaka might end up becoming a Ranger after all, meet ZyuohBird: Yeah, it's uninspired (being literally an Orange ZyuohEagle), but it's thematically appropriate at least and could be interesting. The scan also shows a new Cube Animal, CubeOctopus and Yamato's 2nd powerup, ZyuohWhale which looks better than Gorilla in pretty much every aspect.

So today I wanted to talk about Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future. It's a sort of obscure purely American tokustatsu series based on a toyline produced by Mattel in 1987. It had an interesting gimmick and was incredibly ambitious, drawing from Metal Hero aesthetics while being a totally original entity. At least it's the show I wanted to talk about. And then I found episodes of the show I am going to be talking about. So when showing a friend an episode of Captain Power, they thought the toyline might have been a laser tag set, which isn't inaccurate for reasons I'll cover later when I get back to CAPTAIN POWER AND THE SOLDIERS OF THE FUTURE. Strap in folks because we're going on the Burk's Wild Ride Of Obscure As gently caress Tokustatsu None Of You Care About as we tackle THE laser tag tokusatsu PHOTON Made in Uh 198somethingorother So let's start with a few things. First and foremost please do not wikipedia this poo poo. I did that when I first learned of the show years ago, and while the article now is slightly more informed than it was then, it's still pretty lovely and does not quite capture how loving crazy this show is. It also gets some things entirely wrong. Like when it was made. Sources across the internet list the show as being made in 1984, 1985, 1986 and 1987. As there was only one season that aired for about 26 episodes without any breaks in between episodes or long pauses, this is quite impossible and, If I had to guess, the answer is most likely late 1986 to 1987 and I'll explain why later. It absolutely could not have been earlier. So laser tag. It was a thing in the 80s. Popular enough to get laser arenas and the like and different brands. One of those brands was PHOTON, who either reached out to, or was approached by, DIC Entertainment to create a live action tokustasu series utilizing the skills of some former Super Sentai special effects artists to bring the show to life. The story is simple as it is silly and 80s as gently caress. Main Character Dude is the best Photon player on Earth and gets recruited by an alien machine named Mother and a band of Photon Warriors to light Photon Crystals across the universe and stop the main villain and his henchmen from turning all the worlds to darkness and evil. His wacky team include a stego alien in some kind of a suit, a metal robot man, some random alien girl who just kinda isn't an alien and only wears a scarf on her face, a dumb kid whose super smart and a potato man. The bad guys aren't worth talking about. The plots could be maybe salvageable if it wasn't for the action scenes being Well Laser tag. The model work isn't the worst in the world, but this is Super Sentai on a shoe string budget more than usual so they're not great. The worst part is teh fact that a lot of the non standard sets are models or miniatures that the main characters get chroma keyed onto. This was a low budget show that looked and felt low budget. But you know Captain Power got a DVD release, so could this show right? Oh my no. Oh MY no. No. This will never, ever see the light of day beyond VHS rips from TV from when it aired. Why? Well that's what I had to bring it up for. You see, within every episode of Photon, something strange happens. Something inexplicable and unexplainable. I promise you I promise all of you- the uploader did not add what you're about to see. This is part of the show. This was intended to be there. This was designed. Watch this for a minute and you'll understand the sheer weirdness that is Photon. At least you'll begin to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwqrTVq6ovo&t=477s Yes friends, that is HIGHWAY TO THE DANGER ZONE playing across the 'epic' space battle in Photon the Laser Tag AmeriToku series. And no! That was not the theme music for the space fights- in fact to the best of my knowledge that's the only time it plays! That's not to say that's the only time actual music is played, oh no. Oh no, no no no. No. Every episode has at least one song play during some kind of action scene I found out. AT LEAST one. And they don't all come from the same year as the show as made either- Thriller plays during a fight scene in a later fight, and that was made years before. That's not the weirdest thing though. So later in this Highway to the Danger Zone episode Whose plot is that there is a magic bullshit blackhole that's going to destroy the universe so the main character has to get into a dinky ship and fly into it to destroy it with plot stuff A second song plays as the big epic SAVE THE WORLD FROM THE BLACK HOLE WHILE RISKING LIFE AND LIMB AND POTENTIALLY SACRIFICING YOURSELF scene goes on You'd think they'd reuse Danger Zone since it'd be pretty perfect for that kinda 80s cheese But that's a rational choice made by rational minds No my friends THIS is what they choose to play over the big climax of the episode- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwqrTVq6ovo&t=1033s I Could not make this show up if I tried. I don't think I could comprehend how to make something as weird as this thing simply is. I loving love tokusatsu and I loving love Photon. This has been The Most Obscure Tokustasu ever that will NEVER be released on any kind of home media officially. With your host Burk. loving Christ Photon seriously what the hell

So, I watched a lot of Saturday morning TV and knew how to read a TV Guide in 1985 even though I was three years old. (I actually remember the first season of Gummi Bears on NBC and have a stuffed Kissyfur somewhere at my Mom's). Never heard of Photon, it was definitely not on the OTA networks nor 1987+ Nickelodeon. Looking at the production etc, it seems like the kind of thing that air on USA Network at an odd time or something. USA used to be a far-out-there network that would run something stupid like that. (And they also ran Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills during the MMPR craze, as if you needed any more proof.) Tetsuo Katayama has a credit in the first episode, so it was made before DIC had a huge boardroom struggle between it's US and EU executives, made worse by Saban walking in and buying the whole DIC catalog to turn it over to the European guys who were wrestled out of the company. That outfit eventually sold it back to Saban to build up the smorgasbord of nonsense that Rupert Murdoch could own by buying the studio and renaming it Fox Kids Worldwide. That means it's another one of those things Disney probably doesn't know that they own. Craptacular! fucked around with this message at 10:07 on Jul 12, 2016 |

Photon is listed in that catalog I edited into my previous post, so it's owned by DHX media now. Which, looking at other stuff they've put out, it's probably more of a "we haven't gotten to this one yet" as opposed to a "we're never letting this out of the vault". They fuckin brought Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills back out already, so I don't see why they wouldn't do this one too eventually.

TTAF has YouTube memes from the usual "abridged comedy anime" sources because Americans under 30 can remember it. I don't think 33 in today's days is old enough to remember Photon. Okay what the gently caress I just watched the Robert Palmer space escape. Did you just show me a shot of an old rear end HP That is even funnier than "Addicted To Love."

Ghost is still moving along with a Billy the Kid set of episodes and Kanon getting possessed by the Eyecon and a Pink Necrom showing up. I think that leaves an Edison and a Beethoven set of episodes to do (the former I'm not 100% on, but the latter I know they haven't done). The setup for the movie is starting too while they've temporarily dropped the multiple Makoto sub plot. Also, it's a body switch plot and I hate those.

So now that I've seen all of what Sentai and Kamen Rider have to offer (via what's been subbed and whatever raws I could find online), I'm thinking about giving the Ultraman series a try. Has every series been subbed in some fashion and which would be the best to start with? Also in terms of the older shows is the very first attempt at the franchise, Ultra Q worth checking out?

What series would be the best to start with in that regard? Also in terms of the older shows is the very first attempt at the franchise, Ultra Q worth checking out? YAY MY TIME TO SHINE Okay so to start with the last question- Ultra Q is an anthology series, more or less, with a few reoccurring characters that stick around from episode to episode. Some episode plots are revisited in later episodes. For note- Ultra Q, Ultraman and UltraSeven are all up on Shout Factory's site for streaming, subbed. Ultra Q however is almost nothing like the rest of the franchise, as the entire gimmick of Ultra Q is that every episode is a 24 minute monster movie, and some of them are directly comparable to monster movies of the era. Some episodes are really boring and one episode is loving nuts, but there are some good ones in there, and a fair number of the monsters in Ultra Q get reused in Ultraman, most of them as different characters. There is no Ultraman in Ultra Q. I can make a short list of the best episodes to check out if you'd like, though if you don't really care for giant monster movies circa the mid 60s, there isn't too much of a point. Though catching the first episode is worth the time spent just because the monster is Godzilla with a turtle shell and horns glued on fighting a Rodan prop that has feathers glued on. Seriously. From there, it depends heavily on what kind of show you want to see. If you don't mind the older shows, the original Ultraman is still pretty fantastic, though it's also got very little continuity, focusing on the mini scifi movie angle that Ultra Q had going on only with the addition of a, very murderous, super hero. I would recommend checking out the subtitled version on Shout Factory over the dub though. The dub would censor some of the more mature or challenging themes, and they butcher perhaps the best episode of the original series, My Home Is Earth. UltraSeven is my personal favorite, but you should only give it a shot if you like Star Trek and want to see something like that but faster paced, and with a powerful super hero as the main character. It's pure sci-fi, unlike the Sci-Fi Fantasy of Ultraman, and is one of the most serious and mature of the franchise. Seven is my personal favorite Ultra hero, and is just as influential to the franchise as the original. UltraSeven also has two direct sequel series, UltraSeven Evolution which was a 94 to 2002 thing, though very few episodes of it are subbed and they're hard to come by, and UltraSeven X, the 40th anniversary series which only has TvN subs. Return of Ultraman, Ultraman Ace and Ultraman Taro are all HK subs only if you can find them. None of them are great for your first series either. Ultraman Leo is up on Crunchyroll, and is a pretty great series, but also very much a different thing all together. UltraSeven is the co-main character and mentor to Leo, who has to defend the Earth using more martial arts attacks than other heroes. It's got a darker tone, but not a more mature one, as random 70s goofiness invades every crevice of this series for better and worse. Over all it's an enjoyable show, but it was made at the peak of the Oil Crisis in Japan and their economic downfall, so the monsters and effects are cheaper than they have ever been, including in Ultra Q. Ultraman 80 is also up on Crunchyroll, and it's... OK. It's a step backwards in the franchise but it works fine as a stand alone series. The interesting set up, that it's a teacher who is Ultraman, gets abandoned very early on and from then it's a very standard Ultraman series that varies from weird bullshit to trying really hard to ape UltraSeven's sci fi angle and failing. Tiga and Dyna are not officially up subbed anywhere, though some unofficial subs for Tiga might still be floating around. Tiga's main sin is that it's the first Ultra series in over a decade and the coreography and effects are really stilted and slow. Everything just feels sluggish, but as your first series Tiga is not a bad choice, and if you pay attention, there is a Lovecraftian bent to a few of his more notable monsters and for good reason. The ultimate villain of Tiga is straight up a Great Old One. Dyna does not have any complete subs that I am aware of sadly. Gaia is up on Crunchyroll and is itself a stand alone series. It's one of the first to try and tackle an on going storyline and major themes to inform that storyline, and it's pretty drat fun and not a bad choice for your first. Just note that the show has a serious problem with cast bloat- there are about 20 characters at any given time and only 3 matter. The show is also afraid to go as far with the consequences of the episodes they present and often pulls back on those right at the finish line, so that's annoying. It's got some of the best looking monsters in the franchise though and is a really great series over all. Ultraman Cosmos has HK subs and a not very good dub, and it's a child safe child friendly carebears Ultra series where the main hero fights in non violent ways and makes friends with his enemies. Think Fourze, but for preschoolers, and Foruze never really hits anyone, just pushes and redirects their attacks. It's also got 60+ episodes. From here on every series is on Crunchyroll Ultraman Nexus is a fantastic loving show and I love it to death. It's the most mature and serious of all of them, and is a really really REALLY well made series that got hosed over by the network. Despite that loving over, they stuck to their guns and, even with ten episodes cut off abruptly, ended it the best they could. It also stays true to the heart of what Ultraman is about, and has some really drat good writing in it. The only Rider series that compare with Nexus are Kuuga and Amazons, and Nexus tackles its issues and themes far more harshly. There is no backtracking with Nexus and it's a personal favorite. Ultraman Max is an odd duck of a series. It is an anthology series through and through, celebrating the full history of the show without having any REAL continuity between episodes. Every episode is headed by a different famous director or writer. If you ever wanted to see the famous Japanese director Takashi Miike do two very different kinds of Tokusatsu episodes, this is your series. It almost works best to read what the episode is about and then try and watch it, because the main characters are all stock and 2D to allow the bevy of writers and directors to do their thing with the Ultraman formula. Due to this, Max has both some of the best episodes of the franchise, and some of the most forgettable. To really understand how strange Max is, watch episodes 15 and 16 back to back. Ultraman Mebius was the Gokaiger/Decade of the Ultraman Franchise, the celebration of 40 years of Ultraman, and is unequivocally the best of those three at being a celebration. If you want a more modern Ultra series with a mix of on going storylines and stand alone MOTW, this is the perfect series to jump into so long as you don't mind the slightly lighter tone. All of the surviving original Ultra heroes, as Ultraman Taro's actor is no longer with us, get one episode each to show up through out the series, and themes and ideas from the history of the program play out, but never in a way that would confuse or alienate a newcomer. It's the perfect blend of celebration and moving forward, with a fantastic, and extremely Shonen, story. One fun trivia bit, the actor who plays Ultraman Mebius also plays his human alter ego. Ultraman Ginga is next. Don't watch Ultraman Ginga. Ultraman X is next. It's okay. If you're used to how Kamen Rider is nowadays, and Super Sentai, this might be your best introduction and you can try a more traditional series later. And now we have Ultraman Orb. I have not watched it yet, but I'm hoping it's a better series than X was. Also of note are the two Ultra Galaxy series, which if you can track down the subs for them, are pretty fun No Budget affairs. The first series is infinitely better than the second, where it kind of falls apart by the mid way point, but both are worth it if you want to see giant monsters beat the poo poo out of each other.

Thanks. And yeah, a list of Ultra Q episodes worth checking out would be helpful as I'm probably going to watch every series eventually (I don't mind watching raws as I don't like leaving a series incomplete just because I ran out of subs, that's how I did it for some of the early Sentai and Rider shows as well). I don't care about spoilers so just so I'm aware, what exactly is wrong with Ultraman Ginga?

Episode 1- Defeat Gomess, is notable for having the dressed up Godzilla suit and Rodan prop. Also it's the first episode which tends to work out for watching. Episode 2- In the same vein as the weirdness of the first episode, the monster here is another Toho kaiju repurposed as a new monster, King Kong from KK VS Godzilla! Episode 5 and 14- Both work together, as the latter is effectively a sequel to the former, and both are just Ultra Q distilled to its truest form. They are mini Kaiju Movies through and through, with character arcs, plot twists, and, speaking frankly, more monster action in the latter one than you would some times get in an actual feature length production. If you love giant monster movies of the era, these are unmissable. Episode 6- Everyone in this thread should watch episode 6. It's not GOOD, not by any stretch of the imagination, but it is drugs. It is drugs as hard as any drugs has ever drugged. Drugs is this episode. Just drugs. Episode 10- This one is only notable because a monster from here returns in Ultraman X, but frankly he's so far removed from when he first appeared that I don't even know what the gently caress. This one isn't as insane as episode 6, which is the 60s personified into drug form, but it's clearly not made by a stable man. Episode 13 and 16- These are special because they're similar to episodes 5 and 14, in being mini movies, but here the gimmick is that instead of a competent giant monster movie, they're about the least dangerous and least intimidating giant monster(s) ever seen in human history. Just, utterly worthless creatures. The only destruction that happens around them is when they trip and fall or when some one else blows up something near them. It is quite sad. This is also notable because the monster suit here would be repurposed for the monster Pigmon, who you will run into in the original Ultraman and Ultraman Max. Also I think he shows up once or twice in X. Episode 18- Is entirely skippable really, it just features one theme that would be explored more thoroughly in Ultraman- How many times can we take Baragon's suit and turn it into a different monster! Episode 20- It's Creature from the Black Lagoon, but 24 minutes long and in Japanese. The real notable thing is that this features the only Ultra Q monster that shows back up in Ultraman AS the same species- not the same guy exactly, but another member of his species comes back in Ultraman. Episode 23- This is a much watch for personal reasons. It's another just straight up Kaiju Movie done in 24 minute ones, but here the kaiju in question is Oodako, the best obscure Toho kaiju ever made. Oodako has a very strange history. He has fought King Kong, Frankenstein's Monster, and the children of Frankenstein's Monster, and in other material he has fought alongside Godzilla and has been planned to make cameos including the 2004 Final Wars. And now he has his own adventure, renamed Sudar and that's all that changed. Unlike every other Toho kaiju that got brought over to Ultra Q, no attempt was made to change or alter Oodako. Finally, Oodako has his time to shine! And that's really it for the most notable ones of the 26 episodes. If you want to take a gamble on other, more Twilight Zone-y episodes, you can. loving christ episode 6 though. loving Christ. EDIT- Ultraman Ginga is just a worthless show. Like, Ultraman Taro is bad. It looks ugly, it feels ugly, its story is poo poo, but it was made at a terrible time for Japan in general, and it did spawn some great monsters. Ultraman Cosmos is Pre Schooler garbage. But if you don't mind that it's a unique enough series and it has nice monster suits. Just overly sweet and saccharine. Ginga is terrible. Ginga is just, it's trying too hard to be like an Anime and like Sentai and Rider but it utterly fails at all of it. Ginga S might get better? I haven't seen it. Ginga is just...it's not as bad as Wizard, but that doesn't mean its worth watching. X does everything Ginga wanted to do but better in every way.

Thanks, I'll probably also check out the last episode as well just for the sake of completion. Though due to how Ultra Q is set up does it really have an "ending" per se or does the show kind of just stop?

Oh My no. Ultra Q does not end. In fact, one thing you'll be quick to discover- Ultra Q ran straight into Ultraman, and the opening of Ultraman shows this. Ultraman starts out with Ultra Q's opening before smashing into its own. Kind of like how episodes 1 and 2 of Kamen RIder V3 are episodes 99 and 100 of the original.
