Tokusatsu Thread (Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, Ultraman and the likes)

I completely missed Dino Force Brave coming out. (And for some reason TV-Nihon has it in both Korean and Japanese)

@SonGokuMonkey  
I wonder how that would work out.

@trashboat  
They the only ones to sub it so far?

@Prof.NightJack  
As far as I know. (Haven’t done too much research)

@Prof.NightJack
 
Actually it was RTA and Over-Time, not RTA and EXCITE.

@Jarkes  
It was late last night, I was half asleep.

Not sure if this really fits here, but with what it is it seems like it counts as toku.  
So Saint Seiya is getting a live-action movie made, a “Hollywood” movie.  
But the odd thing is it’s some Japanese media calling it “the Hollywood Saint Seiya”, the director connected is is Tomasz Bagiński(Polish), Yoshiki Ikezama as producer, Kozo Morishita as executive producer, and the companies Toei(of course) and Chinese distribution company ARGF(A Really Good Film), there is nothing that seems to connect to Hollywood or even America.

Ex-Aid continues to be the most awesome thing they’ve done in quite some time and I’m already wishing we could get a season two instead of whatever follows because there’s no way it could stand up. Though it’d be nice if Poppy got to suit up more often. (Hmm, is it too soon to start wondering what the next Rider series will be like?)
 
And I forget if I asked it before (I’ve asked it somewhere, don’t remember where) but is Amazons any good?
 
@Prof.NightJack  
I just love that there’s a company called ARGF that stands for “a really good film.”
 
And maybe they talk about any non-Japanese production as if it was American the same way a lot of Americans refer to some very not-Japanese things as ‘anime’ (Code Lyoko is from France, people! Geez.)

@Phantom Rider  
I got a little behind on season 2 but yes, Amazons is good.
 
But the thing with the Saint Seiya moving being called a “Hollywood” movie is it’s being reported most places I see as such and not pointed out how it seems it’s just what Japanese media is calling it, leading to a lot of comments about how it’s going to have the same problems we see with Hollywood adaptations before, so people are shitting on it for something that might not be remotely true.

@Phantom Rider  
Also there are some Americans that call American shows anime if it looks more like it to them, like Avatar.

I don’t know if this counts as a spoiler, but Twilight does something that reminds me a lot of Flabber in the new episode, A Royal Problem.

@Dex Stewart  
The thing with the music box, right?

@Prof.NightJack  
Yeah.One of my favorite parts of Beetleborgs was where Flabber appears on a workout magazine and tells the kids:“Theres an article in here on flab.”

@Dex Stewart  
God I miss that show.

At least Beetleborgs got 80 episodes or something.

@Phantom Rider  
Other then how I think they pushed the monster a little too much(it wasn’t bad but at time distracted for other things), i LOVED how it works the humor into it.
 
Also, rememebr Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog?

@Dex Stewart  
88 in all.

@Prof.NightJack  
My favorite Mystic Knight was Angus.

@Dex Stewart  
“Earth beneath me!”  
Ya, my fav too.

@Prof.NightJack
 
Yeah, Beetleborgs honestly felt like Saban was doing a self-parody.

@Prof.NightJack
 
Yes… And every time I remember it, I feel sad again because it never got a proper full series DVD release or Netflix release except in like, Germany or some shit.
 
I barely even saw any of it as a kid, and I’d LOVE a chance to revisit it.

@Jarkes  
Germany only got a few episodes,and they were German dub only.I don’t know what it means when Los Luchadores is all out in English and Mystic Knights isn’t.

@Dex Stewart
 
>Los Luchadores is all out in English
 
Wait, really? First I ever heard about that…
 
Does that show count as “Ameritoku” (as people often call stuff like Power Rangers, Beetleborgs, VR Troopers, etc.)?

@Jarkes  
From what I understand it was somewhere in Europe it got released fully on a number of dvds in English.  
And it was hard to find when it was in print.  
Mostly know from how it actully got that treatment when other things had not at the time.

@Jarkes  
I consider it close enough to ameritoku.It has masked heroes fighting monsters and it was co-produced by Saban.Also,the dvds are in Italy.
