(You) problem.

>>23736166
I’ve seen winspector and I thought it was fine, the rescue aspect was actually a bit more intense than I was expecting and loved the book end finale by having the first criminal be the last, Solbrain and the next series are the only Metal hero shows I haven’t watched yet but I have heard they’re slightly better

>>23736082
1 episode so far. Didn't watch it.

>>23736330
>>23736166
I actually agree. Winspector hit a very good balance between "rescue" and "hero", but Solbrain leans too hard on "Rescue". The criminals are often portrayed as victims too and the heroes attempt to rescue them from the situations they create themselves (although the criminals can just die during this for tragic episode endings). The main issue with this in a toku show is that it ends up meaning -very- little action in most episodes. The "rescue" part takes much more focus, and since we're talking about a show from 1991 that isn't heavily using CGI, it often means just carrying around people with flames in the background or props falling on them. It all gets very samey. Solbrain considers the previous hero Fire an "edgy" character compared to its protagonists.

Exceedraft feels more like "generic toku", but I'd easily take it over Solbrain just because it has more consistent action and doesn't resort to sad stories about enemy of the week so often.

>>23736554
That bit of Solbrain leaning too hard on “Rescue” was foreshadowed at the end of winspector which sounds about right given it’s an acronym for the “Soul and Brain”. Again I haven’t seen the show myself yet and I probably don’t intend to anytime soon given I already have a backlog of shows I want to watch first

I think it's funny that it turned out Jiger was male this whole time and that him being female was just someone's headcanon that got treated like fact this whole time. I've read the Gamera and Daiei books and it never once said anything about Jiger being female. What I'm curious now though, where exactly did the misconception come from? I guess for the longest time it was a safe assumption, given he did lay eggs but there's been evidence to prove contrary now. Does anyone know when it first started? Curious.

>>23737902
the one in rebirth is male

>>23738048
I know, that's what kickstarted it all. The fact that Jiger in Rebirth is male pretty much confirms it.

>>23738154
it really doesn;t

>>23738393
Except it does? Even you choose to ignore that, there is nothing stating Jiger was ever female. I've actually even bought official Daiei monster encyclopedias and asked some Japanese people around, and I could never find anything concrete. Again, it was just someone's headcanon that got treated as fact.

In the beginning? Sure. But as it goes on it starts going more and more towards the batshit, including having the litteral Prince Of Darkness himself , capital-S Satan, as the final boss.

>>23739475
That looks so good

Just finished the original GARO
Really liked how Barago came back for one last grudge match after Messiah was defeated, considering how he was the most active and personal threat

>>23739852
You've watched the best (live action) Garo. It's a steady slide downwards in quality from here.

>>23739862
Some would consider Makai Senki to be better than the original because of the expanded world view and setting but it also started the whole EVIL MAKAI PRIEST that is still plaguing the whole franchise.

>>23739869
I also just personally think that the more they expand on the Makai world and culture, the less interesting it is. The original Garo nailed the atmosphere and feeling of this mysterious ancient order of warriors and magicians protecting humanity from the shadows because we saw a lot of it from Kaoru's point of view and knew almost nothing about it, so it gave the actual supernatural stuff a legitimate otherworldly air. Now that there are basically zero normal people in the cast it's turned into something mundane.

>>23739879
NTA, I think part of the problem is that GARO wasn't written as a grand universe that's being uncovered with each instalment. Amemiya, Kaji, and Kobayashi didn't create an expansive backstory and lore to be used in future shows/movies.
The people creating all sequels were building off of what came before and making it up as they went.
It's not really surprising that problems arised after the first show. All their best ideas where going to be expressed in that first show, and maybe the first few movies right after. That's just the nature of writing, and why they had to introduce new characters to follow, and animeverses.

>>23736082
It started out pretty exciting. Season looks promising.

>>23740217
You see that kind of thing primarily in the first season. There's this implication that the Makai community wasn't as big or as old as later seasons would show. Makai Knights, or at least titled ones, were a rarity and one covers a large territory, that sort of thing.

>>23736554
Yeah. Solbrain and Exceedraft are two completely different extremes in comparison to Winspector's balance of Rescue and Hero. They even brought back Ryouma to be a regular as Knight Fire, probably because he hasn't gotten enough rescue missions compared to his combat prowess.

Let me change the topic for a bit, so I want to talk about the Chinese Gransazer line, and I really hope we get updates if all of their Chouseishin can combine by making them full triple-changers...

Try literally every toku ever made since you're clearly not hard to please. In all seriousness, check out the 90s Kamen Rider movies. King-Ohger is a kino show despite (or because of) living and breathing Babylon 5-level graphics.

>>23744085
Keita Amemiya worked on Mobile Cop Jiban, so that may be your best bet.

>>23744111
Jiban looks great but it's legitimately a snooze fest.

>>23744121
(You)

>>23744109
king ohger visually looks terrible

>>23744085
Marvel level special effects means pure cgi slop.
Toku doesn't have that, even recently.
But if you want your cgi slop stuff, all the Reiwa Kamen Rider shows dump a bunch of cgi money into the first few episodes of each show, but then stops that because no one can afford to keep that up.

>>23744311
sorry I dont like terrible cgi, but if you know any toku show that visually looks as consistently good as daredevil or the mandalorian then let me know

>>23744349
Everything before 2010, before cgi started leaking in.

How's Metalder? I've always heard it was the darkest Metal Hero and wasn't very popular back in the day, but people have warmed up to it over the years.

>>23744635
It's good shit. Second half has a slightly higher tone I contribute that to Metalder becoming more human but it's still a fun ride.

>>23736082
1st episode is out, second in 3 days. Just from the little bit I've watched so far, it's already a lot better than Heir To Steel.

>>23745112
Hagane was such a wet fart of a series. You could tell they were working on a shoestring budget and most of it probably went just into creating the Hagane suit. I remember hearing that the times Garo was fully gold were digital recolors as well because apparently the original Sho suit doesn't exist anymore and all they have is Dark.

Jiban has great monsters and effects but thats really it. The stories are bad, most of the characters are bland and boring, and my god the fights are AWFUL

>>23746672

>>23746672
Awful as in "live action Sailormoon Ballet-fu" awful?

>>23746784
Not that anon, but he moves robotically most of the time. Don't expect your usual martial arts fighting. Usually it's slow walking and firing a gun or cannon.

>>23746784
every fight is Jiban getting the living shit kicked out of him for like 5 minutes straight without throwing a single punch, then in the last 30 seconds when he's about to lose he remembers he has weapons and one shots that monster.

That is literally every single fight.

>>23746860
So does Janperson and he's got some pretty entertaining fights.

>>23745132
I think they planned it as a movie with small budget but decided to stretch it into a 12 TV series. The pacing is all over a place and sometime a few episodes ended in a very weird place.
>>23746716
The sub is crabstick tier though. Probably just MTL like Hanage last time.

>>23746954
Janperson is a lot more actrobatic then Jiban

>Space Sheriff BDs are out of print and ridiculously expensive on the aftermarket

>>23746784
I'm not sure if you're trashtalking the 2003 live action show or the stage show musicals. Either way, shut your dirty whore mouth. Both are great.
I'd watch 2003 over any current toku.

>>23747187
I like the detail where Janperson and Gun Gibson move robotically and then you have Billgoldy doing all those jump kicks and stuff.

>>23741965
This is old news. There was even an yahoo japan article about what a piece of shit he is.

>>23747345
Gun Gibson moves a lot more smoothly than Janperson does overall. It's less that he's robotic and more that he's tanky. He relies a lot on brute strength when he has to get it close.

>>23748776
Why did he have a different voice actor in the B-Fighter team up?

New Garo ep 2 is up
Since it looks like Ryuga will be using that cursed Hanage armor for a while, I wonder if we will only see the Garo armor at the end as season final upgrade.

https://nyaa.si/view/2076041

>>23749922
Gives me bad flashbacks to Versus Road. And I consider Versus Road and this Garo as the Blood-C of the franchise: extremely dark, everyone will die, and the MC will never get his good ending.

>>23749922
The whole plot is him trying to purify the Garo armor so he can use it again after he burned it out at the end of Hagane, so I'm sure it will be. It does make me wonder if they came up with this whole plot because the actual suit isn't usable right now or something.

>>23750886
I find the Ryuga verse keeps getting bleaker and bleaker with every new series, and because of outside circumstances, pretty much none of his buddy knights from the first series would ever come back to help him. I wonder how far they could carry the franchise with Ryuga since with the new scandal I think Kouga verse probably won't get anything new now unless they dial back all the way to continue young Taiga story.

>>23751469
They should at least give Raiga a new season.

>>23751469
Gold Storm had secondary knights too. Just bring them back. Or just bring back D Ringo and Yukihime

>>23751935
Souma is probably the most likely candidate to return, now as a titled knight since it would give them an excuse to reuse the Zango suit with some modification. It honestly baffled me why they even bother making a physical suit for something that only appeared for a few minutes.

>>23749689
>It's pirouettes all the way down.

Very fun, Tsubasa and Rin were pretty well developed for characters that were introduced there

>>23751535
Crow and Raiga deserve a second chance, with a not shit script or ridiculous ass pulls, or trying to ride on nostalgia and member berries where we can really feel Raiga's struggle against the Horrors, where Crow is actually useful, with a major villain introduced around halfway like Kiba / Barago or even Jinga who is actually a badass. They can throw in a giant titty Euclidian / Geigeresque giganto booba Horror and tentacle rape Garo at the end like usual.

>>23747131
>The sub is crabstick tier though
So is TVN better?

Remember how me & someone else co-subbed the front half of Rainbowman a while back? Some of you may also remember how that person also subbed the front half of Diamond Eye. Bad news is, while neither of those projects are dead, it'll be at least one hot minute before they pick either of those back up. The good news is, & I REALLY hope I'm not jumping the gun on this, but they're working on Mach Baron as we speak.

Did someone mention trying to sub Akumaizer recently or am I making that up?

If I remember correctly, Juspion, Changeman, Flashman, & Jiraiya started the huge late 80's early 90's Brazilian toku boom so even though they also got every other Metal Hero through Solbrain, Maskman, Goggle V, Machineman, Byclosser, Cybercop, Kamen Riders BLACK & RX, Poitrine, & uhhh (checks notes), Fuun Lion-Maru, those shows are usually given precedent.

Oh, & before that they'd gotten plenty of 60's/early 70's toku like the first 3 Ultramen, Giant Robo, Ambassador Magma, Spectreman, & National Kid, Brazilian boomers love National kid.

>>23756314
Is this the newest season of Dogengers?

>>23756742
Yeah but Juspion was so popular that when they brought Spielban over, they called it "Jaspion 2" despite the two shows being completely unconnected. Of all of those tokus they got, Juspion is the most iconic and beloved to them.

>>23756931
Spielban is the better of the two anyway. The action is weaker but it has better writing, characters, and plots

>>23757114
I found Spielvan to be incredibly boring.

>>23757478
I just finished Janperson myself. I will say that I found the second half less to my tastes (it's still really good, just that it was so different after they expanded the cast such that I personally preferred solo Janperson).
The decisions made within the final battle did a really good job of closing out Janperson's arc and Billgoldy's ultimate plan is extremely good at establishing grand-finale level stakes.

>>23757493
I think intriducing other characters for janperson to interact with was needed

>>23757501
I agree, and I enjoy the side cast. But it did mean less direct screentime with the episodic characters which were my favorite parts of the earlier episodes.
They didn't really go away, like there were the episodes with the immortal man or the deep sea robot which are I feel were more aligned with my favorite parts of Janperson.
It wasn't a downgrade, more just focusing on different aspects of the series.

>>23739879
Personally I like how they expanded the world, but these are disposable ideas that rarely come back.
Every new season is "There's this mega ancient (new) Horror you have to beat and a (new) traitor who you know won't be able to control the monster." Retsuden and Zeros are cool.
Now, the real crime is that they threw away the horror-genre component and never brought it back (Heir of Steel Ep1 showed promise but quickly fizzled out).

>>23757660
What struck me most about the first season was seeing high-fantasy characters out of place in an urban setting, grappling with the differences between a black-and-white world of knights versus monsters, while all the other characters had more concrete problems.

Change of topic. What is your favorite Chinese tokusatsu from Auldey, and why? Well, let's just say they have Armor Hero and Giant Saver, but from each series, what is your favorite season? I can't vouch for Armor Hero, but for Giant Saver, definitely Space Deleter for improving in quality overall.

Does anyone know?

It's TVN. Same shittily encoded hardsubs, same overdone text effects and unnecessary fonts, same shoddy translation by ear. They haven't changed in over 20 years.

>>23761227
Is that better than MTL?

Prayer circle for a new train themed Takara toku, they can even give it a Shinkalion collab

>>23761246
Don't listen to that retard, it's much better than MTL and you don't have much choice either way right now

I wonder why Nectaris didn't show up at all in the most recent season of Dogengers. Not that I care, given the show has fallen off hard, but I'm really curious as to why.

>same shoddy translation by ear
If a show doesn't have official captions is there really any other way to translate than by ear?

>>23761983
Translation by ear by a person whose first language is neither Japanese nor English.

Some Taiwanese company is doing a gay super sentai/power rangers parody in the style of the Giga stuff. Seeing it on twitter today. Lewd Beast Squad Power Bangers. Has something of a plot line, fight choreography, an opening song and everything.

First episode is out with the second on Saturday.

If it makes the Hasneyban jews seethe than I'm all for it.

Surprised there's no Pink Ranger spoof whose just a gay guy

>>23762642
The High School Heroes' pink was a camp fag who said he was a woman.

Can I talk about something supposedly Chouseishin-related? See, Otomedius, a moefied version of the Gradius and Parodius series, supposedly featured something out of the Chouseishin series, but whatever I searched, there is no mention of anything from the toku trilogy.

Is anyone watching the new Garo? Is it at least less boring than Hagane?

>>23761548
Probably just ran out of stuff for him to do, not helped by the extremely bloated cast at this point.

>>23763620
The plot seems to be moving quite rapidly since they don't spend half a season with Souma acting like a retard. But I feel like they had turned Ryuga into Kouga MK2, most of his early characteristics is pretty much gone now.

They pretty much ditched the MotW aspect and went straight to the plot, feels like basically a movie stretched into 12 (?) episodes.

I just found out that in 1972 there was an original hero named Peaceman (ピースマン) created for a variety show called シャボン玉ホリデー. There were the only pictures I could find, I really hope better ones exist somewhere.

They made this elaborately detailed suit only for it to have less than two minutes of total screentime? I'm honestly surprised they didn't just CG him like Lord/Gai/Zen. Feels like kind of a waste.

That's called character development, anon. The events of YamiTera manned him the fuck up.

>>23765013
Yeah but even though he grew up some, Gold Storm Sho Ryuga still had some of that cockiness and attitude that set him apart, which is why he was still constantly pissing off his peers. Hagane Ryuga is a plank of wood by comparison.

So about them Gransazer seeds
where are they

>>23764984
There was a Garo exhibition around that time so they probably made that armor as a display piece, since most of the old armors were in pretty bad shape.

Finally, compact GouRyuGun. Can't wait for Ryujino.

>>23768533
Shame there's no rescan of this movie.

>>23768533
Hakaider is cheesy edgy 90s toku at its finest. It's not a GOOD movie, but it's entertaining as hell.

>>23768533
I watched the Director's Cut last year and it's barely different from the theatrical version.
