And to start this thread off I had just finished episode 16 of janperson. This one’s another great series so far and janperson seems almost invincible so far, “almost” as something’s going on in his head regarding his past life. I also like that there’s not one not two but three main villain factions he has to take on which imo is very unique and almost like a rouge’s gallery of sorts.

Watched episode 2 of Avalon. I kinda love how the main hero only speaks in English when he's transformed. As if being empowered with mythical knight energy makes you speak in british-isms somehow.

Giant robo had to do it for the greater good, otherwise he would’ve been turned into a giant monument/playground/amusement park

Oh and an update on janperson, really great so far and got to the episodes with gun gibson BABY, awesome enough he’s in the intro now.

>>22623956
is it? they haven't said anything about it so a lot of people are assuming they didn't get it like what happened with the Black and RX sets

>>22619910
The episode where he dies was so fucking good. I wish the rest of the show had the same quality

I've seen full Mandarin subs for many shows that aren't in English, including some that don't even have decent quality raws on the western internet! Most of them appear to be by one "ZIIT SUB", but others, like Rainbowman, seem to have been done by others, & I've been losing my mind trying to find WHERE ARE THESE COMING FROM? Because 1, like I said some of those shows come with higher quality raws than currently available, 2, because having access those Mandarin subs could potentially prove useful, it's how Giant Robo & Daitetsujin 17 got subbed even if I admit those could've been a bit more polished, & 3, perhaps it might be possible to contact them & see if they have any Japanese scripts they might've worked off of, which would be even more useful! Is anyone here familiar with navigating Chinese web spaces?

I hadn't checked their site in a while, but raretokusatsu has really been putting in work. I have a few new things to download. Looking forward to watching Mirror of Janus, when I can find the time.

>>22614569
Thanks anon, this had some that I had missed with my other search results.

>>22626672
Looking forward to starting that eventually. It's also a geo9875 joint, and I've still not gotten through Abunai Deka and only just started Akai Meiro.

32 episodes of janperson done and what can I say, billgoldy is an absolute menace, from a somewhat silly lollipop sucking executive to a nightmare of a rival character, he’s easily now this shows main antagonist while neo-guild and super science are side antagonists at this point.

Yeah, it's Millcreek. They also did the same for their original release of Ultraman years ago. I'm actually kind of surprised that they got the license to release Ultraman in the US from Tsuburaya for newer stuff like Tiga and Nexus

Do I have to watch Minus One to understand this gag?

Sorry I haven’t been active much, been doing a few things but have made progress on janperson, seems a bit late to have a kid team not unlike the rider scouts from Kamen rider with only 14 episodes left but it is what it is, this one’s still pretty good. I hear blue swat isn’t all that amazing but my opinion might be a little bit different from others so we shall see but I really can’t wait to the two b fighter shows that from what I hear are a spectacular finish to the metal hero series.

Just got my payment request from AmiAmi for the Garouken

Only 10 episodes left of janperson and things are heading towards the endgame as all three villain organizations are appearing at once this time, which one will fall first, I’ll see that tomorrow

Only three episodes of janperson left, neo-guild is no more but billgoldy is up to something nasty involving children, finale is close

>>22633345
Finally finished janperson, what a finale, I think that kind is right up there with the ending to sharivan. I feel like THIS show is what robot detective was trying to do but they didn’t have the budget or just couldn’t try to emulate shotaro’s original idea to life, but it was a sweet ending where janperson make a breakthrough between what is human and robots It’s such a marvelous story and a emotional roller coaster throughout. Now my comparisons with the others. Once again objectively there is no bad metal heroes shows

Penultimate chapter of Kazumine's Ultraman, & boy is it a doozy!
https://mangadex.org/title/39801903-3b03-4704-98ea-a9f2d80bdadf/ultraman

It's based on a script made while the show was still under the working title of Redman, & according to Japanese Wikipedia, it was scrapped because by the time the show took complete shape it was too removed from the forumla, & yeah I can see that.

I think instead of doing Lion-Maru next, I'm just gonna finish Kazumine's Ultraman first.

Started blue SWAT, I fucking heard that Kenji Yamamoto and that near identical BTTF theme while battling the alien of the week, you think I wouldn’t notice? Its amazing he wasn’t caught earlier for plagiarism

Watched all of a Metalder. It was a pretty heartwarming show.

Onto episode 25 of blue swat, this one is kinda slow and is so far my least favorite of the metal hero’s shows, gold platinum came in but I kinda just want to end this one so could get to B-fighter. I hear the retool is coming up around this point so I’m half expecting a bunch of Kenny’s to appear as means of appeal towards the child audience

>>22648918
And done with episode 28, good grief anons were not wrong about this show being the low point of the metal heroes series, almost every episode since zaji first shows up is the same, gold platinum doesn’t make much a different either, same aliens each episode, badder aliens make their getaway, it doesn’t help that it went from something dark to almost episodic, oh well at least “hyper sho”(insert aura battler dunbine joke here) appears next episode so at least SOMETHING happens. I’m almost thinking of stopping this show and moving on to B-Fighter but I’m also curious as to how this one ends so I’ll keep going.

I've heard some people hype up Silver Kamen as a masterpiece, a "holy grail" among untranslated showa toku if you will, but I know alot of you here have no problem watching toku raw, so if you've seen it, does it live up to that hype?

>>22649874
From the little I've seen it's okay. But it's definitely a trend chaser given the shift from human sized to kyodai.

>>22649874
The first half feels like more of that same weird and charming speculative sci-fi toku a la Seven. The second half drags itself down to something more like almost Mirrorman. It never becomes downright bad but it definitely loses charm.

Almost done, after queen showed up the quality of these episodes got better, also space mafia seems to be bickering with one another that may spell their demise lol. Just seven episodes to go then it’s finally B-Fighter.

>>22652977
Well hey, at least he didn't say that Beetleborgs was better. That show was such a wasted fucking opportunity. You had a mish mash of everything kids loved (monsters, bugs, and comic books) and completely wasted it by making it extremely kiddy

>>22653053
All the Saban shows are really ugly.

Here's a little something that while not toku in the strictest terms, y'all might be interested in nonetheless!

So for context, Gundala, Son Of Lightning (Gundala Putra Petir), is an Indonesian superhero created by Harya "Hasmi" Suraminata who's pretty much a combination of Thor & The Flash, made his comic debut in 1969, & has remained popular since, getting a movie in 1981, & another in 2019 which was met with extremely divisive reception, meant to set up an Indonesian superhero cinematic universe.

I've always wanted to see the 1981 movie, but subs never existed, until of course I caught wind of, subsequently bought a subbed bootleg DVD which I've just ripped & put on Archive, complete with both hardsubbed mp4 & the ISO.

https://archive.org/details/gundala1981sub

I was a bit disappointed there was no final fight with him, in fact the whole body double thing seemed a bit pointless. I was initially expecting him to be an android as well based on his other helmet but I think that would have pulled away from Balski being a robotic rival to Metalder. Either way, it was a good show.

What Tokusatsu do you recommend if I liked Garo?
I have not watched any Tokusatsu outside of Garo season 1 and the first 2 movies, but I really loved it.

>>22654375
Keep watching Garo. I can't think of anything quite like it desu. You could also give Shougeki Gouraigan, Hakaider, Mirai Ninja, Zeiram, Moon Over Tao, & Tekkouki Mikazuki a try since they are all involve Keita Amemiya.

I've also heard Zebraman, Dark Soldier D, Lady Battle Cop, & the Casshern live-action film are more adult-oriented.

>>22654447
Saw battlecop not to long ago. It’s ok but not the best, footage from it would be recycled for other shows later on like janperson and blue swat. Don’t expect anything raunchy besides like one shower scene, it’s still a toei heroine after all

>>22651540
The show has so much cyber heart you end up forgiving its extreme love of blue screen effects.

The episode where they take the biker chick in for interrogation and they seem to be standing in a shoebox is another great example.

Also nothing gets me more hyped than Jupiter splitting the heavens to summon the tiniest weapon.

FINALLY finished Blue Swat, wow that was a chore to go through but I’m finally done with it, if there were anything I’d like to say about this is that the fights were nice and the characters were great, the aliens looked amazing, unfortunately I feel this show could’ve been much better, even before the retool but the finale was quite good. Still it’s a good show but no doubt about the weakest of the metal hero shows and one I probably won’t revisit.

>Zebraman

>Dark Soldier D
Good but man every character is pretty evil, awesome monsters and surprisingly smart guerilla filmmaking. Fun fact: Koichi Ohata did storyboards for it and is rumored to have come up with the mechanical design

Someone already summed up Battle Cop (the behind the scenes is somehow slightly raunchier) and I haven't watched live action Casshern but that's one that usually gets praised. Give the Zabogear movie a watch sometime for my recommendation

I remember hearing a few times that back in the day manga artists were seriously stigmatized by Japanese society, with tabloids saying they're all psychos & perverts & whatnot.

In fact some of you may know there was an early episode of Ultraman Ace which depicted a manga artist as a serial killer, which I must say is really weird considering tie-in manga were a huge part of a toku's marketing back then, including Ultraman Ace & other Tsuburaya shows!

>>22656429
>Fun fact: Koichi Ohata did storyboards for it and is rumored to have come up with the mechanical design
He probably just did the storyboards, if he designed anything he would be credited under it. I don't think the mecha in it looks like anything he would really have drawn.

Also black beet is starting to become my favorite rival character

I thought this was going to be a new version of the Hakaider movie, and I was going to be pissed that I wasted money on the Bluray.
Looks like a cool toy.

Almost done with b-fighter, it’s pretty great and imo feels almost like an “anti-sentai” show of sorts where it plays around with that formula but in its own unique way, this show actually got a little darker overtime (the opposite of BlueSwat) and the storytelling is very good.

>>22666499
Just eight episodes to go, I’ll give out my honest opinions, it’s brilliantly written to avoid itself from being too much like sentai, especially when they go back and forth from using MOTW to more character based episodes giving this show a unique feel to it, HOWEVER on one hand I do think this show could’ve benefited by having just a little bit more MOTW especially in episodes where absolutely nothing happens but on the other hand it makes the b fighters conflict with Jamahl’s commanders much more personal. With that said I love that they got the main character’s irl twin brother to play black beet

>>22665317
Miss Dream's is your best bet, that said apparently episode 31 is pretty bad sub wise but it's apparently the only bad one among the batch

I know it's going to be trashy schlock. I know it's going to be JDF taking himself way too seriously going SIT-UYAH! for 90 minutes as he clings desperately to his glory days. I still want to see it though just to see HOW bad.

i'm 12 episodes into Kaiketsu Zubat and i'm starting to feel like the zubat suit and zubacar are a bit superfluous, the secret identity bit barely comes up and he fights perfectly well as Hayakawa Ken in his cowboy outfit. great show nonetheless, i only started watching because of the insanely catchy theme tune.

>>22666868
Holy shit what a finale(more like three finales with jamahl’s end and black beets final bout and stopping the wormhole from eating earth), but the epilogue story was fucking awesome with blue swat and janperson coming back, it might be one of my absolute favorite finale’s in tokusatsu.

Quite unexpected for GetCo to have this, but I'm not complaining.

For some review a YTber did on the show (didn't watch it) someone scanned BCI Eclipse's production info booklet on Iron King

Quick double post, but it mentions on the second scan that Silver Mask was supposed to get a western release by a "Ronin Entertainment" back in 2007. Looks like we WERE supposed to have it released here subbed at one point.

Keita Amemiya exhibition stretching back to Mirai Ninja opened today in Japan
https://amemiyakeita.com/kai/

Started B-Fighter kabuto, easily more lighthearted “so far” than it’s predecessor, you can sort of tell it’s aimed towards a slightly younger audience(a hint for the last two shows later on) but enough it’s still entertaining for adults as well, Sentai elements are much more apparent here (especially in later episodes from what I’ve seen with mecha showings up and more insect themed characters besides beetles) although I am half expecting it to head into the same darker territory b-fighter did previously

>>22669515
So that's why he hasn't been playing with the new jet fighter diaclones.

U wot

I just got the (other) manga based on P-Pro's Hyou-Man pilot!

By other I mean there was also one by Jiro Kuwata you can download raw here.
https://archive.org/details/hyoumankuwata

This other manga though, written by Atsushi Miyazaki & drawn by Kenji Nanba, looks way more involved, is much longer, & ran weekly instead of monthly, both versions look very different story wise, which makes one wonder just what the show would've been like had the pilot been expanded into a full show.

I'd love to scan it, but that's a while off because I'm already in the middle of scanning something, & I'm sure you can imagine that MANUALLY scanning hundreds upon hundreds of pages kinda takes a minute. (GOD I wish all these obscure showa manga were just digitized)

There's Takao Saitou's original manga, the manga based on the TV version by Takeshi Koshiro which was serialized in Bouken-Oh, & the one you just posted, a two-shot by Saitou also based on the TV version from the May & June 1972 issues of TV Magazine.

Never knew he did another version besides his original, you can tell he loved toei’s design for barom 1
>>22670622
Interesting, I found out a little bit ago(might have been through here even) that Lion-maru was originally supposed to have been a lot more like the jaguar man/hyou-man pilots taking place in “modern 70s japan” and was more of a spiritual successor to spectreman(if it even was going to have kaiju occasionally) but P-pro wanted to make something different and original especially after kamen rider became a massive hit on television by combining feudal era japan stories and henshin heroes, it was hilariously coincidental that toei and ishinomori came up with the exact same idea at the same time

New chapter of Kazumine's original hero, Denjin Arrow!

I don't sub shows anymore, sorry.
Mainly because I'm way better with written Japanese than spoken Japanese, which becomes a problem when Japanese DVDs ALMOST NEVER have captions.
I do HAVE Matsumoto's Lightspeed Esper manga though, so I MIGHT do that later down the line.

So if I want a toku subbed, & I find a reliable looking person on Fiverr, who's cheap enough that I could get a whole 52-episode show subbed for, give or take, a month's pay (not all at once obviously), would that be worth a shot or does it seem too good to be true?

>>22674677
You hire one of the existing toku subber groups, that has completed at least one complete project. Part of that hiring process, is making sure that the group has a really good editor, because the translator shouldn't be the only eyes on the words.

>>22675666
I'm pretty sure most proper sub groups don't or wouldn't do for-hire work, & even if they did I imagine their rates would be astronomical.

what ever happened to toei tokusatsu world? it just shilled a bunch of kamen rider stuff at the end of its life

>>22676377
It’s a long story but basically they were advertising various shows to see if any network or company would pick them up for international distribution but the main benefit was YouTube’s self subtitles function so those shows could be available to other languages, unfortunately due to a lack of foresight on Toei or anyone’s part by brutal coincidence, YouTube got rid of the self subtitles function thus rendering the entire point of the channel naught. All wasn’t lost however since other companies like discotek would pick a few of these shows up like jiban

>>22638295
Says "Utaban" in the corner, which was apparently a variety show

>>22663341
Noice; any decent rips floating around?

Finished episode 22 of B-Fighter kabuto, I’m gonna be real honest, this show feels vastly inferior compared to the first series and is a bore of a show so far, lead characters aren’t nearly as good either. Maybe the show’s second half will vastly improve things once the B-Crushers and new insect warriors are introduced to the show, not to mention /m/echa showing up

>>22676769
And it seems like the originals will show up at the halfway mark of this show at episode 25, plus the other insect medallions are showing up meaning the show’s real story is about to begin and might a make this show worthwhile otherwise I’d sandwich this show between spielban and blueswat

>>22676478
It would've been nice if they at least included Japanese subtitles for everything.

>>22676860
Wow the Jump in quality went right up in these last three episodes, the crossover episodes with the originals were actually fantastic. Also onto episode 28 Its hilarious that mac’s actor would go on to be the voice of Dante of DMC fame, what retroactive recognition that is, and even more funny when you remember that Nero’s voice was previously a power ranger

>>22678307
Finished episode 36 now, this show got astoundingly better around the second half so much it’s like night and day. The series especially got good once the mecha finally made its appearance and the new insect fighters with b-crushers as foes. If this was an attempt in saving this show and an excuse for new toys then they did an absolutely good job with it

>>22678483

So I just decided to gamble 25 bucks on that Fiverr translator.
There are 2 outcomes here, either y'all get the first episode of Rainbowman, or I'll have wasted 25 bucks.

>>22683193
You have just wasted 25 bucks.

>>22683193
>>22683208
I wouldn't be surprised if they really are a competent translator, but they do a bad job anyway because the shitty audio quality of 70's toku throws them off.

>>22681671
Unironically, they were partially responsible for the small American football boom in Japan because of one of their songs.

>>22675729
>most proper sub groups don't or wouldn't do for-hire work
I don't mean the professionals working for companies. I meant the fansubbers. I doubt they're going to be charging crazy amounts, since they're not actually in-demand.

>>22683236
No one that's a worthwhile translator is going to be using Fiverr. They're going to be working for a company, translating documents or talking to other translators in negotiations.
Anyone doing translations as a side-gig or for fun, isn't going to be very good. Which is why I told you that you need a good editor.

>>22683819
>>22683829
OK, do I just ask a fansub group or is there a specific place I have to go to enlist their services?

Also pardon my saying so but if it really is as simple as just commissioning a fansub group, how come I've never heard of any prior instances of that happening?

probably since /krg/ or /ssg/ will shit on this:

this guy has been doing his own fanmade rider m ultraman and sentai animations in mine-imator. a minecraft based animation software. he's been at it for some time.

>>22684100
Followed the guy for the fanmade openings of many toku but not really bother with his fanmade characters.
His last fanmade opening was Ryuki like a year ago?

Starting the last four episodes of Bfighter kabuto and then my metal heroes marathon is “almost” finished ever since I started Space sheriff gavan all the way back on February first, again I’ll get to the space sheriff movies later but I’m really gonna take a break after this alongside completing Showa rider Title is called “elder dies” oh no not guru, this one’s gonna hurt

Not sure if I should watch Bycrosser, Changerion, or Guyfried next. What do you anons suggest? Gonna watch all three eventually.

>>22684877
Did not care for Jetman or 00s Rider stuff.

>>22684873
I’ve seen bycrosser, it’s a fun show.

>>22684849
LAST EPISODE HERE WE GO

>>22684934
And that’s it, this one started off really slow but overtime once the second half started it ended up being spectacular! It seemed like excellent closure to the series itself and metal heroes as a whole even though somehow their powers came back by the time space squad occurs, maybe the will of light needed b-fighter once more against that villainous alliance, we’ll see when that comes out. Now my final comparison for each series until the rescue hero trilogy later
>Juspion-Jiban-B’fighter-sharivan-metalder-B’fighter kabuto-janperson-gavan-jiraiya-shaider-speilban-blueswat
Tuns out I really enjoyed juspion the most. It was a long journey but it’s over now. Man I really need a break but yeah metal heroes is a mixed bag but most shows are fantastic

So Mill Creek's catching up to releasing the Ultra shows that have come out since their initial deal with Tsuburaya, & they say they've extended & expanded their deal to include, quote, "many that have not been available in the US previously."

Maybe I'm being naive, but that sounds like an implication that they're gonna do more non-Ultra Tsuburaya stuff. (hopefully including stuff that's never been translated at all before!)

Speaking of Tsuburaya, I wanna give Fireman a shot once I'm done with Return Of Ultraman, haven't heard much talk about it, if any of y'all have seen it how is it? Are Master Tyrannosaurus' subs coherent enough?

>how come I've never heard of any prior instances of that happening?
Toku is a small community, funders usually contact directly, and not something openly discussed. As it involves piracy.

>>22683854
Because people are retarded, I stopped sharing my commissioned subs publicly because people were uploading them on fucking youtube and therefore risking the raws getting changed to a platform inacessible to foreigners.

>>22693341
What shows have you commissioned?

>>22684100
I really liked when he was making OPs. I was always impressed with the level of effort he put in.
His actual show is fun, not having any spoken words, makes it watchable for us baka gaijin.

>>22693341
What do you mean "the raws changed to a platform?" & how does that come from the subs being on YouTube?
Also, the phrasing implies that there are things that have been subbed that no one but the given client knows about or has access to!
For years I & many others have wanted shows like Rainbowman, Mighty Jack, Silver Kamen, Inazuman Flash,
your phrasing implies that for all we know those could've been subbed years ago but are being kept under lock & key!

I get most of my raws directly off japanese sites, those accept foreign credit cards so the inconvenience is minimal. If subs get uploaded on youtube, they become a million times easier to find by the owners of the raws, and then they become incentivized to restrict access to foreigners.

>>22619910
I know this is a noob question but are there any toku series aimed at adults? Not looking for edge necessarily but like a toku equivalent to Star Trek.

>>22694654
In terms of general adult toku, the best known example is the GARO franchise,
but as for a "toku equivalent to Star Trek", there are 2 Star WARS inspired shows Message From Space Galactic Wars & Star Wolf,
the former is subbed, the latter isn't but was turned into 2 dubbed compilation movies called Fugitive Alien.

If you just want a space show toku or not then watch Blake's 7 PLEASE watch Blake's 7 it's so fucking good.

What raws are you even buying that aren't already widely available? LH stageshow shit?

>>22695002
The original by far.

>>22694654
60s Star Trek? The OG Ultra trilogy Q, Man and Seven. Ultra seven feels particularly more adult and that’s why it got a bunch of spin-offs for an adult audience.

>>22695738
Sure'd be nice if a single one of those shows was subbed. (OK some of them might be, but not the ones I recognize at least)

>>22695738
Devil Summoner's first season are subbed:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXw1OWn3KBjawpwh03ntvNnipNLHxatNF

>>22695173
Not that anon, but the raws that we do have are always because somebody was kind enough to share stuff that they bought and that shouldn't be forgotten.

Plus, maybe they watch stuff aside from just tokusatsu.

>>22695738
The first four episodes of Eko Eko Azarak TV series was subbed by Hi no Tori years ago. Some anon did the first two episodes of Mighty Jack a couple months ago. He said he was gonna do better quality episodes and post them on IA... never saw them as of this posting.

>>22696083
Phone Detective 7 was subbed as it was airing, recommend a watch.

>>22695738
Didn't know there was a 1974 TV drama version of Japan Sinks. I just knew about the movie that came out the year before with Hiroshi Fujioka in it.

>>22699510

Just finished Garo: Hagane wo Tsugu Mono, I like how it ended with a character saying "I guess in the end we are the Garo: Hagane wo Tsugu Mono". OK show otherwise, pacing was bad at points and in general felt like it needed more episodes to flesh it's cast out more, the more mature Ryuga we got was cool though. The final episode ending credits was really cool and made me realise suit actors don't usually get individual credits like they did there, which is pretty sad.

>>22701673
Still better than stunts/suit actors who work in Hollywood productions. Their name are in the credit, but their scene usually be cut or on screen for a fraction of a second.
Take AkibaBlue's actress. Her goal is to have her name on Hollywood movie credit. Her dream has come true but she never got to stay on screen for more than a second.

tokusatsu , of course.

Y'Know for as much as I love them, turns out 50+ year old kids' manga aren't always exactly written like Shakespeare. & it really fucks with me when that shows in a manga I'm doing, because it makes me unsure whether I'm getting sloppy as a translator or if it's just the original writing being kinda wonky, which even then gets me worried that it'll MAKE me look like I'm getting sloppy! I always stress that I'm not a professional, but that doesn't mean I wanna put in anything but my very best!

On a completely unrelated note I just did the first arc of Kazuo Umezu's Ultraman!

Almost forgot to mention, this is gonna be another thing I do between volumes of other stuff, so I'll do the other arcs sooner than later but just not immediately.

As for what I plan to do next, it's gonna be a long one at 5 volumes, & even irrespective of its length it's probably gonna be the most intimidating project I've done yet.
It's not even toku related, but don't worry it is VERY /m/, I'll probably announce it with its own thread once I get started. Trust me, it'll deserve it.

Saw the crossover movies already with getter robo( I hear the 70s show isn’t as good though I’ll get to it eventually) and grendizer I’ll get to at some point but I’ve already have my priorities elsewhere

Then you'll be happy to know I'm translating Gosaku Ota's Mazinger manga, it's already on MangaDex but I was planning on waiting until I got a bit further in before telling everyone, but since you brought Mazinger up I figured I might as well. I'm 2 chapters in, which means I've at least gotten further than the last guy's attempt! & in case you don't know, Gosaku Ota's version of the Mazinger trilogy is one of those cases where a tie-in manga ends up REALLY taking on a life of its own, so definitely look forward to that!

That particular version of Mazinger Z goes down a path that’s vastly different from go nagai’s or toei’s classic stories and elements have even crept up into other media with the MP great mazingers in SRW, it’s also ultimately more somber

I'm not talking about Zebraman 1 or Zebraman 2, but the mid-quel v-cinema.

>V-Cinema
>A direct to video movie called Vengeful Zebra Mini-Skirt Police (ゼブラミニスカポリスの逆襲, Zebura Minisuka Porisu no Gyakushū) was released on April 19, 2010, to promote the upcoming release of Zebraman 2. The story is set in 2024, one year before the events of the sequel, and focuses on the characters of the Zebra Mini-Skirt Police.

Understand?

>If you just want a space show toku or not then watch Blake's 7 PLEASE watch Blake's 7 it's so fucking good.
Blake's 7 is highly underrated. The last season is still good, but you could tell they didn't know what to do anymore. Blake's 7 is easily one of my favourite British shows. One part space, one part spy, one part action.

>turns out 50+ year old kids' manga aren't always exactly written like Shakespeare
Shakespeare was written in a hybrid style, for the high class educated people, and the commoner with no education. Which is why there's silly scenes where characters act like clowns in an otherwise serious story.
Comics, manga, etc are written for children and sometimes for teenagers. So it's all for the uneducated commoners.
If you're going into a visual medium, and expecting high class writing, you're going to be disappointed. If it happens, then it's a bonus, but it's never the goal, and honestly the audience probably doesn't want it.
If you want some high class writing in the comic/manga medium, then you're going to have to be hyper selective. It exists, but it's few and far between.

I watched Doomed Megalopolis years back.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomed_Megalopolis
Should I rewatch it before watching the 2 live action movies, or watch the movies first?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo:_The_Last_Megalopolis
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo:_The_Last_War
I know they roughly cover the same novels, so I'd assume key points of the story overlap, but I don't know when I should start. It's been ~15 years since I saw the Doomed Megalopolis anime, so I remember the basics of what happened, but I doubt I remember all the details still.

I didn't mean to sound like I was complaining, & I'm definitely not holding it against the authors either, in my original post I just meant to say that sometimes when discrepancies in the writing arise it slightly complicates my job as a translator.

Maid Butler owning a maid café is a super deep cut, but I swear the idea of them being androgynous just escapes the writer.

>>22619910
Should I use fansubs or official subs for Gavan? Obtaining either isn't an issue.
Sorry if this is asked a lot but Desuarchive is down

>>22727491
Is he still supposed to be androgynous? Also Maid Butler actually did own a cafe before, in fact it was back when they were first announced. They had one back in 2017 and early 2018.

shin dogengers its supposed to be out today

It’s >>22725877 again, it’s quite fun seeing various tokusatsu references and gags of series one has already watched in all of these old school anime, almost burst out laughing at sharivan’s blink and you miss it cameo in episode 1 of dirty pair. Its especially funny because that particular installment was one of my favorites throughout my metal heroes watch through
