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

I wouldn’t be shocked if the video isn’t any better
 
Also need to get Mega

If Timeranger ever gets a Blu-ray, hopefully they’ll be able to find some decent masters instead of just upscaling the crappy masters they currently have, because that would probably make them look even worse.

@Jarkes  
Upscaling might be the only option.
 
Also I’m seriously hoping that Shout will start releasing Blu-rays once they get to the HD sentais

@trashboat
 
Well, the Kuuga Blu-rays were upscaled, but from composite masters that already looked much better than the crappy masters it had for its DVD release. So those looked really good.

One question that I’ve definitely seen raised is whether or not the fact that Shout factory is doing the Super Sentai seasons that get adapted for Power Rangers is simply a coincidence or if we will also get the post Gokaiger seasons that didn’t get adapted for Power Rangers.

 
God Ki when?

Do any of you guys feel that Judd Lynn is losing his touch? A lot of folks seem to feel that Dino Super Charge and Ninja Steel aren’t as good as some of his earlier seasons (or even the first part of Dino Charge).

@Jarkes  
Back in the Fox days with Lynn around it was still hit and miss. Every series wasn’t PRiS then, every series won’t be Dino Charge now.

@Phantom Rider
 
That’s basically how I feel.

So get this, you know how the PR zord toys have been smaller then their Sentai counterparts lately?  
Well turn out the Lion Fire Megazord toy is bigger then Lion Ha-Ojo toy.

@Prof.NightJack  
aside from the OOD megazords, what other PR zords are bigger than their SS counterparts?

@OptimusPrimevil  
As far as I know, none.  
They used to just import them Japanese toys and repackage them, but then when Bandai America started to make their own versions they just made them a little smaller.  
This is the first one I know of to actully be bigger.

@Prof.NightJack  
seems counter-intuitive to redo the zords for america (make new molds, extra manufacturing cost compared to just making excess ss product to export to america) unless it has to do with safety regulations

KYORYUGER IS SO GOOD.

 
This is so odd…

@Prof.NightJack  
fortress zord indeed
 
sad that the paint budget got slashed for the plastic budget.
 
is detailing a profitable business for PR megazord toys?

His anyone here ever seen the classic Toho toku film Latitude Zero? I just saw a trailer for it on YouTube and it looks completely insane. Flying submarines commanded by ‘great Hollywood stars’ like Joseph Cotton(??), underwater cities ruled by mad scientists (played by Cesar Romero!), laser ray gloves, whole cities being blown up, a kaiju griffon with the mad scientist’s girlfriend’s brain in it, Cesar Romero’s horde of killer bat-men, diabolical fiends performing brain transplants, this saga has it all!
 
Please someone, tell me it’s as great as the trailer makes it out to be.

@Ardashir  
Let me put it like this, it would actully be right at home on MST3K, right next to the likes of other toku it did.

Thread I made on Twitter regarding how Kyuranger is actually structured like a typical JRPG.

Any of you guys plan on getting the Garo blu-rays?

EXCITE Subs just released their subs of Chou Super Hero Taisen (which they called “Ultra Super Hero Wars”).

KYORYUGER IS FUCKING AWESOME.

Apparently, the crossover between Ohranger and Kakuranger was a last minute thing.

@09MurphyM  
It shows.
 
@Jarkes  
Yes!!
