Tokusatsu General Thread Anonymous 09/14/2022 (Wed) 23:48:01 No. 1015
Since we have no /m/, this is the next best thing. Discuss all things tokusatsu past & present. The latest Kamen Rider entry, Kamen Rider Geats, has just started. Feel free to as how to get into the franchise as well as the best sub options available.
>>4051 >There's no where they could've gone with making a sequel to Lost >Smart Brain being a one world government due to them converting most of humanity into orphnochs It's a common set up so there's something there to work on but I have to partially agree since part of the appeal of Regained was having the old cast and staff back and Lost wiped out most of the cast. >OOO I assume killing Eiji twice is a twist for those who've kept up with OOO since they've been killing Ankh on every crossover movie. It's predictable but they better revive Eiji for the 20th.
>>4056 Japanese productions are declining in quality and becoming just like American comic books: nothing is permanent and nothing is conclusive anymore. Any loss or death is undone whenever iut is convenient for the writers and producers of whatever new movie (stand alone, crossover or celebratory) comes out next. No matter if it takes 1, 10 or 20+ years, at some point, everything that was set and done in one show will be undone in the future by some idiot That is why I don't care anymore about any of the extra content or expanded universe (prequels, sequels and side stories) of any tokusatsu show. They all suck. And they suck exactly because the ones inolved in their production always retcon and change what was done before, just to sell toys or to create a convenient excuse to bring back some popular actor. The movies and specials make the shows worse.
>>4189 >create a convenient excuse to bring back some popular actor Can you cite an example? If anyting, TOEI is either incompetent or lazy to bring popular actors back. >The movies and specials make the shows worse. Depends, Paradise Lost is what Faiz should've been, God Speed Love is a better origin for Kabuto. Some of the series also end up in a situation where the Rider has to continue to be a Rider(Blade, W, Ex-Aid) or just outright shit(Faiz and Hibiki) that there's a demand for an epilogue or something conclusive.
>>4192 Example? All crossover and celebratory movies from the past decade. From heroes to villains and "final bosses" all coming back in one way or another. And that cancer that is Outsiders. >Depends Not, it doesn't. After Decade, the movies simply ruin the show's lore in one way or another, by undoing some key plot point. and that is done AGAIN years later, in t he case of celebratory movies, having the plot and key points ruined even further.
>>4189 You're complaining about having the very same actors from the show come back to do a movie related to the show? >>4227 Some of these shows ruin their own lore, Ghost being the biggest contender in the Neo-Heisei era. Let's not forget some of these movies are written by the show writers themselves.
As expected, Toei is now pushing alcohol to children. Since that law was approved last year, the one that allows minors to consume alcohol now in Japan, I was predicting that children's shows would start pushing aslcohol at some point. And here it is. This week's Boom Boongerr had a in-your-face alcohol advertisement for children, with the so called 'heroes" all gathered in a bar/nightclub, each drinking different types of cocktails and shown to be enjoying it. Expect way more decadence like that in future shows.
>>4229 >You're complaining about having the very same actors from the show come back to do a movie related to the show? I'm complaining about the anniversary movies existing in the first place. The plot is always shit. The actors are old. The directors and writers don't care about making a good story. Those movies should not exist. See if you understand this simple concept, retard: those movies are all shit and it would be better if they were never made. >Let's not forget some of these movies are written by the show writers themselves. Anonymous 06/23/2024 (Sun) 05:46:28 No. 4240 And that doesn't change the fact that they are shit. Who cares if it is the same guy writing, when the writing is shit? "The origi9nal creator approved this/did this" is no excuse to allow them to be shit.

>>4240 >He doesn't remember Kamen Rider G >>4241 >"The origi9nal creator approved this/did this" is no excuse to allow them to be shit. Yes, when the source material is shit and if we go by your previous post that the movies are shit since they change the lore then any media made being made besides the show is shit regardless of change.
>>4240 Now you're just sounding like a pearl clutching american mom. Japan doesn't have the same censor practices as america. They can get away with showing alcohol in kid's media.

(1.32 MB 640x360 Kamen Rider Gavv.mp4)

New Rider is out in a few weeks, Gavv. The theme is snacks. >Producer is Naomi Takebe (Kiva, OOO, Gaim and Geats) >Director is Teruaki Sugihara (all Reiwa riders, got his start with Kyuranger) >Head Writer is Junko Komura (secondary writer for Wizard and Drive, more known as the head super sentai writer for Zyougher, LuPat and Zenkaiger. Another toku of note from her is Bima-X which is an Indonesian toku) They got most of the team from Geats but with Komura instead of Takahashi for the head writer. Seeing it's Komura, expect family themes and likely interesting looking but boring main villain.
>>4286 I expect the show to be as lighthearted as Gotchard especially considering the state of high tension in the world right now.

>>4298 They started with harvesting people to make their candy so it's off to a good start.
>>4300 If they make it definitive people can die then it may be a little darker, surprisingly. Maybe it will be more like Ex-Aid where it's softer theme contrasts with the mostly serious tone.
>>4256 And that is wrong. At least I can be happy knowing that the alcohol industry is dying over there, as people choose a healthy life. To the point that the government now needs to push alcohol into a children's show. May the alcohol industry die all over the world. >>4253 G was a parody for an adult variety show, barely remembered and barely mentioned outside Zi-O's cameo. >any media being made besides the show is shit regardless of change. Yes. >>42 (25)A58 And it is still alcohol, with the typical "it is just juice, dad and mom", to avoid being attacked by the parents' association.
>>4286 Great actionm scenes. Shit premise for his powers. At least I'm glad that children are avoiding processed sugar junk in Japan, to the point that the companies producing the poison need to sponsor a tokusatsu show to desperately try to sell the poison again. Hopefully, parents realize the scheme and take their kids away from this show. >>4298 Which will make it a boring show. The way they make "lighthearted" shows is not good, in the current era. They avoid everything that make a show good, and it becomes just a bland borefest (like Gotchard was). >>4300 I find it funny that a company owned by the Yakuza, who sell drugs to people all the time, is making a show with the subtle anti-drug message, while at the same time promoting poison/sugaryprocessed sugar junk. It makes me wonder if the drugs are selling so poorly in Japan that the Yakuza are shifting towards trying to make children addicted to junk food instead of adults addicted to drugs.
>>4302 >>4303 >I can be happy knowing that the alcohol industry is dying over there >I'm glad that children are avoiding processed sugar junk in Japan That's all well and good anon but can you at least show to the board your evidence of this? If you're that faggot above claiming his source is a bunch of fans from a Japanese imageboard please archive the thread. >And it is still alcohol, with the typical "it is just juice, dad and mom" How is tomato juice an alcoholic drink? >The way they make "lighthearted" shows is not good, in the current era So what's a good lighthearted show for you anon?
>>4304 Don't bother. He's an insincere shitposter who thinks the answer to everything is being edgy. Either he's shitposting for his "character" bit or he's genuinely just stuck in a 14 year old's mentality of being edgy for the sake of it.
>>4306 It's not even that, I'm just annoyed on how low effort it is despite "watching" every rider and sentai. He didn't know the bar scene from Kamen Rider Faiz with actual alcohol, the worm doctor episode of Kamen Rider Kabuto with the oden stall owner serving sake (or Daisuke's debut episode, the mixer is likely serving beer), the Gekiranger drunken fist episode with Retsu or even the Dairanger drunken fist pose (or the episode with the tofu monster drinking sake) or any other show that had the villain with a bottle of wine. There's not even a mention of Kamen Rider the Diner https://paselabo.pasela.co.jp/rider/gm_food/ that serves both alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails based on a Rider and that diner has been existing for more than a decade and yet somehow selling alcohol is a current year issue. Even his rant with Gavv being anti-drug is late. W (which Gavv seems to borrow the transformation item from) and even fucking Fourze, with the school administration forcing highschool kids to use the switches (which are addicting by the way) so they could find the select few to complete the Horoscopes, have done it.
>>4323 Almost like he's a complete poser, anon.
Man, this week's Gavv had two deliciously hot children. I'm loving how producers are finally reintroducing cute/hot girls of child age in the shows since Gotchard. May those lucky producers have those kids on their beds all day.
>>4304 They say that it is tomato to avoid the parents association from filling a complaint to the government. It is clearly alcohol, and the show is trying to sell alcohol to children. Plain and simple. >So what's a good lighthearted show for you anon? 90s shows. Both tokusatsu and anime. You have shows with lighthearted characters like Megaranger, Jetman and Dairanger and still a lot of serious tones to the stories in those shows. Older shows were good, even when aimed at children. Newer shows are all dumb aimed at dumb children and dumb manchildren/"adults".
Here's a little something. For those who don't know who Shirakura is, he's a producer who's been involved on >Super Sentai Jetman, Zyuranger, Dairanger, Zenkaiger and Donbrothers. >Kamen Rider From Kuuga to Decade, Blade being the sole exception and Hibiki being the 2nd half chief producer. >>4448 If we're going by that line of thinking, why not point out every other show with the appearance of drinking prior and single out Boonboomgers? Fucking Donbrothers exists and yet there's no pearl clutching on the show's drinking scenes.

New to this site. The same guy that did the drawings for Overmaster posted Vram A La Mode.
More than a decade(heh) and still no catchphrase has surpassed or matched, "now count up your sins".
>Zeztz's belt is crossbody leather pouch style that he'll wrap around his chest >It has the color scheme of Kamen Rider Ichigo's Rider Machine Cyclone (This matches the hint from lemon/ivi's pfp) >The gimmick items are similar to gashapons(?)
wow this thread is worst shit i've read in a long time i miss krg and ssg...
>>5483 I saw that the last post was in 2024 and decided to completely ignore whatever was posted here before the 4chan takedown, was it really that wretched?
(153.36 KB 700x1000 character_kuuga.png)

Kuuga got revealed as a playable character in Defense Warriors I don't get why this gacha and the new jojo one that got announced have 0 info on what their gameplay will be, feels like a retarded strategy
>>5397 Any speculation on who's going to work on it? >>5491 The previous posts has some faggot pearl clutching about the appearance on what he considers "alcohol" in Boonboomgers, as if it was the only super sentai that has it.
>>5483 Yeah I can't tell how much of it is ironic or not. Though I guess if you post essays to this thread for the better part of three years then this is the kind of thread that we can expect to have.
>>5509 >The previous posts has some faggot pearl clutching about the appearance on what he considers "alcohol" in Boonboomgers, as if it was the only super sentai that has it. I didn't even see that part, KWAB
>>5509 >Any speculation on who's going to work on it? By process of elimination the producer will either be >Yousuke Minato: Gotchard, Outsiders >Yoshito Kuji: Boonboomger >Minami Takijima: Kakuranger 30th anniversary No solid info on the who's writing it, the current speculation are >Writers that have worked with the director Koichi Sakamoto (Fourze, Kyoryuger) before, because he said that he's working on a project with "master", some people believe that the project he's teasing is Zeztz but personally I find it unlikely. Some people think the main writer might be Riku Sanjo (W, Kyoryuger, Drive, Fuuto PI) because of this. >Hiroki Uchida (Gotchard) said he's working on a big project, some people believe it could be Zeztz >Yuya Takahashi (Ex-Aid, Zero-One, Geats) because of the pattern of him coming back a few years, and because they might want to appoint a veteran writer for Takijima for her first mainline show. She had previously helped in Geats as an assistant producer so she knows Takahashi.

Everything we know about Zeztz so far >Metallic green is his color >Either the OST or the transformation jingles sound like Showa delinquent music >Strictly Sci-Fi >Started pre-production around November, filming around march >"If Gavv is soft, Zeztz is hard" which could refer either for the esthetics, personality or both >Name is pronounced similarly to the letter "Z" and can mean "Tongue" or "Chatter" >Motif is seemingly hard to describe or really out there >The Henshin Belt is styled after a leather pouch, will be worn around the torso, it has the colors of Ichigo's Cyclone >The Henshin items look like Gachapon balls >The Henshin items are really cheap, implying that they don't have electronics Uncomfirmed rumors besides the writer stuff that was posted earlier >Full Color scheme is green, black and either white or silver >The belt's design is similar to a Showa belt or Kuuga's Arcle >Potential Keywords? ZZZ, knight, robot, sparkle and thunder? >Some rumors say that the motif is social media >Some rumors say that the motif has something to do with luck >Some rumors say that the setting has something to do with dreams >The main protagonist is handsome >Won't have a winter crossover movie and instead we'll get an standalone Rider like ZO or J, or a spin-off/sequel to an existing season. Some people also speculate that the winter movie could be a new Den-O special, because Kintaros' voice actor said he's working on something Den-O related
