RoryDropkick said:I am enjoying this year's selection for Sentai and Kamen Rider... it doesn't seem as goofy as past years, yes GoOnger I'm looking at you... and Kiva last year was sort of a drag
Now what I'm really excited at is the fact that my favorite 80's sentai shows are getting released one by one, with this year FINALLY being the release of Dengeki Sentai Changeman to DVD... only 3 more years until Liveman...
Edag Plata said:I like this thread.
RoryDropkick said:This thread is great, mainly because it's been relatively intelligent and no one's done the "heisei vs showa" or "Power Rangers Sucks" or anything like that, it's just people talking about Tokusatsu
Ookami-kun said:Gaoranger was too hippie.
And Gaosilver was meh. Generic brooding 6th ranger. Even Burai wasn't brooding and all!
Ookami-kun said:Yeah, I agree. This year's toku is a blast!
I wonder how next year will be.
Ookami-kun said:I'm most likely the minority, but Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai was LAME LAME LAAAAAAAAAAME!
Instead of actually giving us an actual homage, we end up just seeing... CLIPS! REUSED CLIPS! Sure it had Big 1 and Red Falcon, but that was like... 25% of the total show.
Hell, people would curse me, but Forever Red actually did it better!

Now as much as we are discussing the newer shows, does anyone have any other older favorites? I'm a huge, HUGE fan of Kaiketsu Zubat. In fact, before I had actually applied to Neogaf about 6 years ago with the name Hayakawa Ken, but that never got approved, and finally killed last year, with me getting my approval last night after signing up Feb 2008 :lol
Anyways, I enjoy that show. Hiroshi Miyauchi to me was a total badass back then, and Zubat was just made for him to show off his style. Other shows I dug back when I was little was Changeman, Bioman and Dynaman, along with Brazil's favorite tokusatsu series, Juspion.
Edag Plata said:Well, it's much easier doing a ten year anniversary than a 25 year one.
I mean, you can get most of the actors back from the last ten years if you try really hard, but its harder to get more people 25 years later, that's why it was so different. I mean, I loved the movie. The fact that they had an older member with a Gaoranger teaching them about a Sentai tradition was cool. It was more of a celebration, tribute than a real story driven movie.
Masamuna said:Can anybody recommend a solid sentai series? Thinking about Time Ranger as well.
Ookami-kun said:Generally a lot of the later Showa Sentai are good, like Jetman and Fiveman.
And it's Garuru D:
Dairanger, Jetman, and Timeranger are my favorites. You really can't go wrong with any of those three.
Masamuna said:Alright, will look at Dairanger after i'm done with Faiz....and Kabuto....and maybe Den-O (recommendation from a friend).

vareon said:I find it strange that anyone would recommend Den-O.
I kinda enojyed Den-O, but I guess its a combination of it being more kiddy/silly than most people like and the fact that it is being whored out because if the imagin. Basically it became somewhat "huge" because of things other than the actual.....well.."Kamen Riding".Masamuna said:IIRC its the only Kamen Rider series he's seen. He also swears by Gaoranger if that means anything.
So whats the deal with Den-O? I've noticed via several sites it gets a bit of hate, so what gives? My only experience with it is through Decade, so I don't have an opinion on it yet.
ccarver3 said:I have never seen any of this, but it looks awesome.
Where do I start?
Like Snaku said, Decade and Shinkenger are as good a start as any. That where I first got into it.ccarver3 said:I have never seen any of this, but it looks awesome.
Where do I start?
They're all pretty much unrelated. I think there may be some related series in the Showa Era (everything before Kamen Rider Kuuga), but I'm not entirely sure.ccarver3 said:Sounds good to me. I'll start with Shinkenger and go from there. Now from what I've read there a ton of Kamen Riders are these linked together in any way or completely separate? Just want to make sure I don't start watching in a twisted order.
On a side note Ookami-kun, what is your av from? Because that is just too cool looking.
<3 <3 <3flintstryker said:So i just watched ep 2 of Kamen Rider black after weeks of watching the first ep and holyshit why did i even wait so long Black is so freaking cool.
ReiGun said:Stop hating.
I agree!! hehehevareon said::lol I don't hate Den-O at all. But if someone asks "Hey I'm interested in this bugmen fighting series, what should I watch now?" I certainly won't recommend them Den-O first.
