Has the new Gato series premiered yet? Has anyone watched it?
The coolest.
Solbrain is just Winspector's sloppy seconds and I got bored fast. Solbrain has to be the most overrated Metal Hero series.
>>23736166overrated? I've never heard anyone talk about it ever
>>23736166>Be me marathoning Solbrain>Every fucking OP>HERRRPPP>HERRRPPP>mfw
>>23736166(You) problem.
>>23736166I’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
>>237360821 episode so far. Didn't watch it.
>>23736330>>23736166I 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.
>>23736554That 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
god she's SO mommy
>>23736082I'll be watching it today. Will report back on how I feel.
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.
>>23737902the one in rebirth is male
>>23738048I know, that's what kickstarted it all. The fact that Jiger in Rebirth is male pretty much confirms it.
>>23738154it really doesn;t
>>23738393Except 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.
Could a remake of Akumaizer3 work on this Toku era?
>>23738435I'd watch it.
What happened to that Koichi Sakamoto's new toku? Beat Chasers or something?
>>23738776No sub groups picked it up but it's there.
>>23736166I dunno how the series is, but the yellow construction bot and red vehicle designs ate speaking to me.
>>23738435Which Prime Warframes are these? What relics do I have to farm to get them?
>>23738776>>23738828Don't bother it's horrible. So CGI laden its unwatchable.
>>23738933I mean going CG heavy is disappointing but the pitch of the series seemed to be "Symphogeah if it was actually a toku" so I'm still curious.
>>23738933It looks no different from Ultra Galaxy Fight. Granted that looks like shit too.
>>23738890Kazuma Kaneko's designs for devil may cry 3 devil triggers
>>23739399Did Kaneko ever work as a designer for a tokusatsu production? Because his style works so well the Toku vibe
>>23739458There's fanart of the DTs as Kamen Rider forms.
>>23738933>So CGI laden its unwatchable.Sounds like where all toku is going.
>>23736554>Exceedraft feels more like "generic toku"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.
>>23739475That looks so good
Just finished the original GAROReally liked how Barago came back for one last grudge match after Messiah was defeated, considering how he was the most active and personal threat
>>23739852You've watched the best (live action) Garo. It's a steady slide downwards in quality from here.
>>23739862Some 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.
>>23739869I 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.
>>23739879NTA, 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.
>>23736082It started out pretty exciting. Season looks promising.
>>23740217You 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.
What's that? Saejima Kouga is also a shitty dad in real life?https://www.tokyokinky.com/father-single-mom-hiroko-sato-child-actor-ryosei-konishi/
>>23736554Yeah. 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...
Which toku shows should I watch if I like marvel level special effects and the hakaider and zeiram movies?
>>23744085>Which toku shows should I watch if I like dogshit CGI greenscreen level special effectsTry 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.
>>23744085Keita Amemiya worked on Mobile Cop Jiban, so that may be your best bet.
>>23744111Jiban looks great but it's legitimately a snooze fest.
>>23744121(You)
>>23744109king ohger visually looks terrible
>>23744085Marvel 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.
>>23744311sorry 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
>>23744349Everything 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.
>>23744635It'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.
>>237360821st 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.
>>23745112Hagane 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.
>>23745132I liked the video game.
>>237360821st episode was solid. It's good to see Rian back.
>>23736082I can only find TVN on Nyaa. Is that my only choice?
>>23744730I always heard the second half got super lightehearted and ruined the show
>>23744121thisJiban 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
>>23746529You can watch the official sub on their youtube. There's no rip or scrub of it so far though.
>>23746672(You)
>>23746672Awful as in "live action Sailormoon Ballet-fu" awful?
>>23746784Not 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.
>>23746784every 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.
>>23746860So does Janperson and he's got some pretty entertaining fights.
>>23745132I 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.>>23746716The sub is crabstick tier though. Probably just MTL like Hanage last time.
>>23746954Janperson is a lot more actrobatic then Jiban
>Space Sheriff BDs are out of print and ridiculously expensive on the aftermarketFucking late taxes.
>>23746784I'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.
>>23747187I like the detail where Janperson and Gun Gibson move robotically and then you have Billgoldy doing all those jump kicks and stuff.
Takara needs to nut up and do a new hero show
>>23741965Another total douchebag. I can only imagine how many cases of this aren't yet public.
>>23741965This is old news. There was even an yahoo japan article about what a piece of shit he is.
