Tokusatsu is toy commercials featuring dudes in spandex hitting other dudes in rubber monster suits and smashing the gently caress out of plastic furniture and there's sparks and explosions and giant robots and its great. The two main things that this thread is gonna be concerned with are Kamen Rider, which is karate *men on motorcycles hitting rubber monsters, and Super Sentai. You remember Power Rangers? That's Super Sentai. Kamen Rider is the superior franchise, as it has motorcycles fairly regularly. I guess you could talk about Ultraman and whatnot too but enjoy being a loser nerd. Also there's Garo but there's only three seasons of Garo and two of some other bullshit. There's a metric shitload of this poo poo! Some of it has been subbed, a portion of it competently even, a lot of it has not, a handful of shows have even been released in the west on dvd. I'm going to make a list of shows that are subbed/being subbed and who's doing them, as well as the ones that are on dvd (this is going to be edited in as I do it because it's a big list). The two current series are Kamen Rider Ghost, about a boy and his magic hoodies, and Nininger, which is about some ninja who are on fire? I don't know the first episodes were real bad so I stopped watching it. Also, TVN is poo poo. They are bad at translating, they are bad at encoding, everything they do is awful in every single way, please do not defend TVN in this thread or offer them as a viable alternative or I will call the police. Thank you for your consideration. SPACE RESERVED FOR PICTURES AND SICK BURNS ABOUT DECADE AND TVN BENGHAZI 2 fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Oct 5, 2015 |

HERE'S SOME OPINIONS ABOUT KARATE BUGMANS Kamen Rider Decade  Kamen Rider Double/W A wannabe noir detective and his Most-recommended entry point into the series. Likes to dip in quality right before another plot moment yanks it back up into being fantastic again. Kamen Rider OOO A hobo obsessed with underwear and his Has a filler-ific middle, but a decent ending and entertaining character interactions throughout, plus some great music. Somehow manages to be even gayer that Double. Kamen Rider Fourze A Grease cosplayer who wants to be friends with everyone has adventures in space with a squad of high school stereotypes. High energy, very optimistic. The characters are the meat and potatoes of the series, so if they don't click for you, may not be enjoyable. Decent entry point. Kamen Rider Wizard A wizard who loves donuts Mary Sues his way through people's hopes and dreams. Has a dragon that turns into a motorcycle and still somehow manages to be boring. Kamen Rider Gaim Ken Urobochi's Dancing Fruit Samurai. Starts goofy as poo poo, and then people start dying. Doesn't really stick the landing, but the story has very little filler. Not a good starter series, unless the above description really stuck with you. Love-it-or-hate-it. PS: Don't watch the last episode. Kamen Rider Drive A car-nerd police officer and his talking belt vs. the robot uprising. Has the best tragic villain in a Kamen Rider series. Probably not the highest quality series on the list, but it's interesting. Kamen Rider Ghost A dying guy with no personality uses the souls of legendary historic figures (and public domain characters) to punch ghosts. Starts somewhat bad, gets good in the middle, then gets even worse. Good secondary rider is the only reason to watch it, and you'll still weep over the wasted potential. Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Doctors with retro game powers punch the Pac-Man Fever out of people. Starts goofy as poo poo, and then people start dying. Has no right to be as good as it is. Takes a little while to spin up; the first dozen episodes are a bit slow. Kamen Rider Build Sports drinks and animals? Not much info yet. Please be good. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 20:45 on Aug 29, 2017 |

From the other thread:Larryb posted:I've always been curious myself, what exactly did TVN screw up regarding the first half of Blade and what was it supposed to be like instead? I've seen Blade in its entirety so feel free to go into detail. One of the biggest things I remember them screwing up, because it's been mentioned a few times and I even remember it myself, was the implication that Tachibana could control Undead. I remember going "Wait WHAT?" when this (fake) revelation occurred and then wondered why it seemingly disappeared afterwards. I'd love to watch Blade with actual good subs, even if the early episodes are horribly dull and Mutsuki remains one of the worst Rider characters ever. I'd also really like redone subs for Go-Onger but I realize that'll probably never happen as I'm one of the few who actually enjoys Go-Onger.

Stallion Cabana posted:Ninninger is literally in a constant life or death struggle to be mediocre at all times. ToQger was at least mostly better. ToQger a poop. I like that Ninninger really seems to be not so much about the red ranger as it is a commentary on what the red ranger's role in a series is. I feel like most people don't get that. They hear the food analogy and focus in on the fact that red/the meat is the best part, not the fact that the soup is better when you have the other rangers/ingredients in there too.

It's certainly not Takaharu's Sentai Ninninger anymore at least. Also seeing him be smart and not hot-blooded for once was refreshing even though it was basically a gag.

While Taka is still annoying, Kyuuemon has actually made him look better by comparison, since he's such a try-hard the other villains never get to do anything anymore.

Cliff Racer posted:ToQger a poop. Four episodes after the Food Analogy the rest of his siblings got the crap beat out of them by Raizou Gabi, an already extremely hurt Takaharu showed up and they went 'We were waiting for you Taka!' he then stomped on Gabi's face by himself while they killed mooks. A more recent episode involved Takaharu growing to Giant Size and by himself taking out the Monster without even needing a Ninja Ally besides Shinobimaru. The show has gotten better but there's no certainty that it's gonna stay that way, and that's what I mean by a constant struggle. At any point it could pull a complete 180 again.

There were questions about there being new scrubs/subs in the works for Blade, right? Looks like Turn Up Scrubs is back on the job and has made it to episode 23. I haven't had a chance to check the quality, though the notes for the first episode specifically state that the "Tachibana controls Undead" stuff was fixed.

Cliff Racer posted:ToQger a poop. So you only focus on what the series says and not what the series does? Pretty bad way to watch. Like, yes, the series said that. It then proceeded to ignore it entirely and focus entirely on how much better Takaharu is than everyone else. The Gabi Raizou defeat happened after that. Chouzetsu happened after that, and holy poo poo the episode where Yakkun and Kinji manage to cleverly beat a trap made out of their fear of not standing up to Takaharu, and then decide to just let Takaharu get the glory anyways happened after that. Not to mention how since they got Transcendent it's been nearly always used by Takaharu and Takaharu alone despite being usable by the entire cast, and he consistently gets the finishing blow on every monster despite the episodes focusing on others. Ninninger has gotten better than it was. It is still not good, much less great. It has become acceptable, something I can watch weekly without feeling like I absolutely shouldn't (which is more than GARO: Goldstorm can say). At least ToQger had really good villains once Z joined, Ninninger can't even say that. Kyuuemon is good, but has only really become worth watching now, the rest are lame as hell. At least Kyuuemon's Qubeley (which might be the greatest mecha pun in Sentai history) is neat. Too bad it was probably destroyed this week by the new mecha. Apart from Sentai, about Kamen Rider: please be good Ghost. And Garo should get a mention in the main post, it exists too, and it is good! Mostly. Basically all the time except when Ryuga is the protagonist, in which case it becomes bad.

Blaze Dragon posted:So you only focus on what the series says and not what the series does? Pretty bad way to watch. Gabi Raizou was Takaharu's villain. It makes sense that he kill him, just like how Alata killed the mantis guy in Goseiger or Ryu killed Jin in Dairanger. Them giving the red a special power up isn't unique either and its not going to be his forever. Red is the main character and the show will always be that way, but it also always has been that way too. We had two shows in a row that were about red to the extent that the other rangers got jipped out of plot points and that sucked but Ninninger has been different. Note the difference here, Nininger and the two examples I listed had red go up solo against a side villain, Kyouryu and (I think) ToQ had him take out the main enemy by himself. They've gone to great lengths to keep Pink and Gold as credible alternatives as Last Ninja, you'd never have seen them saying that other characters were possibly better at something than Daigo in Kyouryu or Right in ToQ.

If there's a better way to say "he is terrible" than that, I don't know it. Like the fact that there's actual good series there (Blade and Nadesico, though I'm going to guess that Prince of Darkness also falls there and therefore that's another terrible thing) are completely ignorable by the fact that that terrible trainwreck of a sequel is also there.
