Note: "Nostalgia Kaijin" is a pun because "nostalgia" and "silkworm" are homophones.

>>291497103>>291497118>>291497135A sentiment more relevant than ever as we creep ever closer to the first year of no Super Sentai airing whatsoever
>>291497245Thanks OP
>>291497086lmao the healing candy
>>291496943Only two extremes?Well, at least it's easy to comprehend.
>>291496981Now that's an easier term to use than "old good new bad" fags.
>>291497000Kano's mom, thank you for bringing a girl to the world who is so SEXO when she gets mad.
>>291497086He keeps falling in love even deeper.
>>291497118Do not remind me...
>>291498052I think most western nerds would go with nostalgiafags or genwunners
>>291496968A mashup of Ninja Captor, JAKQ and Battle Fever. Fun little stand-ins.
>>291497245Thx mate.
>>291497157This is actual toku lore. Sentai originally didn't have giant mecha [at least for the team] for the first two series made with Shotaro Ishinomori. It was only after the success of a deal with Marvel that led to Toei Spider-Man and the success of the giant robot added to that series that Sentai gained piloted mecha.
>>291497245Thank you for posting, OP.
>>291498368The funky part for me is that Gorenger and JAKQ weren't considered part of the franchise for many decades and only retroactively added to it when Toei realized that it just made sense.Kinda the same as how Metal Heroes wasn't originally a franchise but it got a bunch of "similar enough" heroes added together later on.Or how Ultraseven apparently wasn't planned on being a sequel to Ultraman then halfway in they threw in that he's from M78 and has a Color Timer.
>>291498029In general, There is variance within the category.Small collectibles used to sometimes have electronics inside them but now they almost always use a pin system so all the electronics are in the more expensive item. Upside: cheaper to produce and sell. Downside: people fiddle with the pins and can find spoilers the instant new merch drops (this is why final form items these days often have built-in electronics, probably).
bump for readers
>>291500850>Or how Ultraseven apparently wasn't planned on being a sequel to Ultraman then halfway in they threw in that he's from M78 and has a Color Timer.That got even worse with Jack because he was supposed to OG Man hence the name Return of Ultraman but then got retconned to hell and back to the point where he didn't have a proper name until Taro.
>/enter any media hobbyist board here/
>Don't know anything about Tokusatsu>Still enjoy the mangaI love how it is mostly a look into different behaviors and attitudes that are common in hobbies. You can replace it with any other media form, like vidya for example, and you'll get a pinpoint match to some of the ideas presented so far.
>>291506510Also there's the integration of the slice of life elements with the workforce interaction and family drama.
>>291506510Based Nick and Lever patrician.
>>291504788Thank you anon
Bump as we wait for OP.
Soon.
Chapter 27 starting up.

>>291516753hahahahahahaha....*sob*
>>291517053But we also have a character profile.
>>291516781Ganbare OP!
>>291516803Your reminder that Kano is a HAG!
>>291516934Our heroes!
>>291517053Lewd!>>291517078Thx buddy.
>>291516803>team building is important~I hate that bitch, needs correction!
>>291496935Thanks for the TL NoteDo you annotate those before uploading?
>>291496981>That thing? The pretty boys.>Like jangling keys in front of the housewives for sales.MY KNEESTHEY'RE BENDING ON THEIR OWN
>>291497021>>291497037I remember Ex-Aid suffering a lot from this, namely with Cronus appearing a lot earlier or at least far more abruptly than he should have. Since that was my first time watching a series as it aired, it made me apprehensive going into Build and seeing full-on toy commercials with stuff like Night Rogue's first transformation with his face revealed, but that series ultimately was a lot more solid.Similarly it made me bounce off of LuPat, since I liked the Patrangers a lot more as characters, but Lupin was getting all the toys at the time
>>291518586I have the notes that I've been putting as a back page the Dex upload that I figure are fine to just type out while doing the daily drops here, if I find them interesting enough.My process is that I've left all the cultural stuff relatively intact but wordplay I try and find an English equivalent if possible, and some of the cultural references I might smooth over.My general philosophy is to prioritize accuracy with some slack on tricky lines aiming to make it read naturally without needing the notes, and then add the notes for people who want them.
>>291516711:>
>>291517053Thanks for the read and the work, OP>>291518913Sounds like a pretty fair balance, especially since this is otherwise untranslated work and so this will be put into a position of prominence and wide appeal.I also know dealing with comedy can be tough. I remember during Zero-One, a lot of the average watchers avoided IzuSubs because Whale stuck with TL notes quite often for puns and wordplay. I preferred him though, especially since IIRC he was the only one that really translated Aruto's catchphrase the best way, and besides, you gotta support the hometown hero.
>>291519060On the other hand, one of those little joys that is beyond most people is seeing a pun that is 1:1 in both languages.
>>291517053Thank you for posting.
Late night bump
>>291522773Arigato!
>>291516916>>291516934And suddenly Ultra Attack Team. I wonder if this is a cheeky reference to Ultraman Nice's having an actual kid who tried to 1v1 a kaiju.
I know gagaga is a common onomatopoeia in Japan for like, hits n' shit, but I see it and I can only hear Radio Gaga start playing in my head>all we hear is>Tokusatsu Gagaga>Tokusatsu blahblah
>>291516916I thought clumsy fattie was the girl's name, for a sec
>>291524584that's funny now I'm imagining it too
>>291524584There will be a discussion on the name in V3's afterword.
bump for late readers
>>291524584It just makes me think of GaoGaiGar
>>291497021BUT THAT WAS ALWAYS LIKE THIS!Those shows existed to sell toys! That was their thing since the beginning, merchandising!This woman is delusional, acting as if her childish hobby was all important and meaningful.
What the hell, is this buyfag the manga?
>>291535314Firstly, it was the older man acting as if the older series was less of a toy commercial (despite that obviously making no sense). Secondly>acting as if her childish hobby was all important and meaningfulBoth of these statements can be true; something being a toy commercial does not preclude it from having meaning and value outside of selling plastic.
>>291535314>>291535519If you're familiar with toku, it's gotten more severe with time. Due to increased competition in the entertainment space as well as inflation making the series more expensive, toku has had an increasing amount of toy integration.Like for Kamen Rider it went from 1 Rider with maybe 3 or 4 alternate forms and a super form to the tradition being a Rider with at least 4 Q1 alt forms, a second cour super form (for Christmas) possibly with 2 tiers, a midseason form (that also might have a second tier), and a final form.Series like Timeranger or King Ohger are near universally beloved but they are generally well known to have been financial flops. Meanwhile there are series that are really not enjoyed for their writing like Zi-O or Gotchard that nevertheless get repeated support because the toy lines sold really well (and in Gotchard's case the toys being cards made it have insanely good margins).Part of making a series is that you have to finance it. "Toy commercial" doesn't inherently mean "lacking artistic merit." It just has that reputation in the West because a lot of 80s shows like He-Man or GI Joe sacrificed writing for toy integration.
Chapter 28 starting, after a character profile (they can be placed in different spots to ensure spreads are arranged in the right way)
