TokuGAF 2015 | Japanese live action superheroes hiding in shadows driving cars

BatDan

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
JDF is the Ja Rule of Toku?

Sounds about right

Well last year when he got arrested, when all the other Rangers where sending out their hopes, JDF was all "You're not thinking about the franchise maaaaaaan". Basically a major asshat moment.

Oh I remember that, one of the biggest dick movies i have ever seen
 
Just discovered this thread was a thing and it's reminded me that I really need to get moving on Tokusatsu stuff. Gonna try to watch Kamen Rider asap. Is there an online streaming service I can use to find some Kamen stuff? Or even any digital service? Or is it a case of Blu-rays/DVDs?

bad gameplay lol

None of the above. It's all fansubs. Kamen Rider is a licensing nightmare, so the chances of it ever being legitimately available in the west are fairly low.

KR only has two official English DVD releases.
This crazy expensive V3 boxset from Generation Kikaida. Though it's on sale now... for a still high price.

Media Blasters also released Kamen Rider: The First, a movie remake of the original Kamen Rider. But it's not good.

I still hope that Shout Factory works something out and gets relatively inexpensive KR boxsets released. The Super Sentai sets seem to be doing well.

Finally! Ghost 13

I fucking love this show's OST. That Goemon fight was so good. The fight itself was awesome too, I adore the new use of the Sunglasslasher.
Though, bringing back the monster that killed Takeru is a bit lazy. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come, reusing monsters.

Part of me wishes Ryoma Sakamoto becomes a recurring character, but judging from the preview, he'll be next week's new form.

Kamen Atsume (Kamen Rider version of Neko Atsume) is out, but it's seemingly only obtainable through a service called DCM at the moment.

It'll come to iOS and Google Play this spring, though.

Soon, we will know who is the Kamen Rider equivalent of Tubbs.

IGN posted a trailer for PR: Dino Super Charge

Sledge is dead (though I still suspect he'll be Deboss at the end). Heckyl/Snide scenes. Heckyl in the Ranger's base. Gigant Kyoryuzin scenes. All 10 Rangers.

From the scene of Snide turning back into Heckyl while hiding, and Heckyl holding an Energem in front of Koda, it's likely Heckyl will use his humanoid side to gain their trust, while Snide takes the more violent approach.

He could be one of the best villains in the making for Power Rangers.

Ghost 13

Hey, nice twist, making the Eyecons possess other people. I think enough has changed for this to not be an repeat of the last arc, good.

Sage is awesome as always, good to see him getting more screentime.

Funny episode. I like Ryoma, I hope he shows up more, even when Takeru obtains his Eyecon.

And finally, Goemon! and he's pretty cool! The next step after Door Gun, Sunglasses Sword!

Well, I'm pretty sure the Bee Cowgirl is coming back too...

At least we got a new Ganma too though in the Astronaut Helmet one. Wonder who that's meant to be...maybe one of the lost Cosmonauts

The hype is real. Best season of PR yet.

so how do we attract riders

If I'm reading the Google translation right:

-Place item on the field.

-Shocker grunt (and other stronger enemies) causes mischief to said item.

-Rider shows up, beats them up, and gives a "heart of justice" (which I'm guessing is Rider Atsume's equivalent to the fish currency in Neko Atsume).

Wait... Kamen Rider game version of the cat collector game where you just setup stuff in your backyard to try and attract cats?

...
SOLD. Tell me how to gets it on drooooooooooid.

Even though the site says it's available on android, it's only available through a Japan-exclusive premium service. It'll come out on iOS and GooglePlay later this spring.

Oh shit...
UCHUUU KITA!!!!!!
this week on Ghost. :0

I forgot when the show aired and was gonna watch it live---caught the ending right at that moment. Holy fuck.
 
So red is human?

Red is human, from Earth. There rest are from another planet/reality/somesuch. They bring him over to complete the team.

The central story of Zyuohger revolves around the conflict between the Zyumans of Zyuland and invaders from space spilling over onto Earth. Four Zyumans, humanoids with animal features, head to Earth and meet biologist Yamato Kazakiri, who teams up with them to defend the Earth against the same threat that attacked Zyuland, the Deathgalien.


Wrong time to announce the Wild Force Complete Series DVD, huh?

Finished Changeman.

I was more of a Flashman fan back then, but I have do admit... Changeman is a hell of a series. It did a lot of things similary to Flashman, some better, some worse. Sompe places I think it did a lot better was on the villains story and on the side characters. All the villains, save for the main big bad, had their own tragic stories, which was shown and resolved as the series progressed. There were, also, a lot of side characters that felt like one time things, but ended showing up again - Nana in special was very important!

Ibuki is the hell of a mentor, and even the most bizarre thing - how does he know so well about the galaxy - Is explained in the series.

Other interesting thing was that... there were just a few episodes that can be considered fillers, imo, and even those were entertraining. That on a series with 55 episodes, before we got even second robots, sixth members, new forms or anything like that. That was very impressive, imo.

GUIS is subbing it now, right? I recommend it to anyone who likes older sentai, for sure.

Ninninger 44

We are officially in endgame.
One general down, four to go. I didn't expect the twist involving Tsugomori's real body, that was hilarious. Though his memory magic was screwed up (as it usually is).
The twist involving the Last Ninja title makes sense, and would explain why grandpa is always so cold and bitter.

It's a shame this show has been so plotless for a majority of it.
 

Boss Doggie

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
...so why didn't Tsugomori do this earlier?

Also I feel like we're getting bare scraps version of ToQger's villain drama which was actually much better.

Ghost 13

-The astronaut Ganma design looks great. I love how the Ganma designs continue along uncanny valley with somewhat-warped depictions of historical people.

-Though this week is a return to victim-of-the-week plots, I like the added twist of eyecons possessing people.

-The Goemon fight at nice was a treat. I wish they'd do more of these seeing how the Ghost looks great in darker settings. The exaggerated hand gestures with the Goemon eyecon was the icing on the cake.

Tsugimori Sentai Ninninger 44

-For some reason, the twist with Kyuuemon feels superfluous. I feel that him being LastNinja's pupil and Tsumuji's classmate was an interesting enough dynamic on its own. But him being
Kibaoni's son
seems silly and unneeded. Not to mention that it doesn't really feel like a revelation or anything, it's just sorta there...

-I love how Tsugimori single-handedly brainwashes the Ninningers with a clipshow
but with him replacing Takaharu.
Fuuka and Yakumo's answer to this is pretty hilarious in of itself.

CZB4bZwWMAEZ92M.png:large

-The twist with Tsugimori's weakness is probably the most amazing part of this episode (next to the attempted brainwashing segment). Though Ninninger is a pretty uneven show, parts like these are why I still find it entertaining.

That twist was kinda weird. I mean, it makes all the sense, since there
can only be one Last Ninja,
but it was weird nonetheless. Doesn't really fit with the tone of the series.

The rest of the episode was fun. That montage with Takaharu/Tsugomori being stupid was cool, and the twist of /Tsugomori being actually a robot controlled by a smaller version of himself was funny.

Next episode,
dadninja and grandpaninja!

Over-Time's got the first Legendary Rider Ghost special subbed + this week's episode, neat.

where's surprise future...:(

wait...where does he say it? i dont think i heard it at all

The end of the episode that aired Saturday, which OT just released.

Ghost 14

It's Space Time! That was an awesome callback.
Looks like Ryoma will kind of always be around in Eyecon form, now that they can talk. I hope we see more Den-O style possessions with the legendary souls. Musashi might be next.
We also saw Aran fight, and he just styled all over Makoto. Yeah, he's going to be endgame.

Houdini form looks awesome

Ghost Legendary Rider Souls 1

Fun little diversion from the main series. I look forward to the other Rider Souls. I guess they're separate from the real thing since all the Heisei Riders are still alive.

Spectre fighting off all those mooks was awesome especially because they brought back the "blood" the Ganma squirt. And then that finisher with Tutakhamen---god damn.
