>>23253803 (OP)
Is that planet of the apes?

>>23255026
>Saru No Gundan/Army Of The Apes
It's not connected to the western Planet of the Apes. They were just cashing in on the popularity of it.
The first 13 episodes were subbed recently and are on nyaa. Super hyped for the last 13 to be subbed. I thought it'd never get subbed.

>>23252041
I would have listened, but another anon was kind enough to make the new OP.

>>23255026

Mst3k fans might remember this Sandy Frank helmed masterpiece.

>>23255282
What are your thoughts on the show so far, anon?

Vectorman, a 1998 Korean Sentai clone, & to my knowledge the first Korean TV toku, ran for 2 seasons, 13 episodes each, & a movie in between. Can't for the life of me find the second season anywhere but maybe someone else can.
https://archive.org/details/vectormantoku

Friend once told me that as a kid he asked his mom for the Sega Genesis game Vectorman, & she came back with a Spectreman VHS.

Bump.

>>23255282
ooh, cool
I've skimmed the raws, it's kinda cool

>>23256133
It's very 70s, but that's to be expected. I think it's really great though. Way better than the American PotA tv show and cartoon. Worse than the first 2 PotA movies, better than the rest of the original series.
Haven't seen the new reboot PotA series though.
>>23258363
I think it's really cool.

>>23263239
Did they upload anything with English subs in the last few months? I was pretty good at keeping up with the English subbed releases.
It's all spread across multiple HDDs, so I'm of no use for reupping.

>>23264011
Unless someone has a list, then I could actually compile it all somewhere.

Time to rewatch Daimajin Kanon. Trying to decide if it's my favourite toku or not.

>>23266258
I liked it, wish it was more popular.
Some people keep saying they want "Hibiki that never changed production in the middle," but when Takatera doing it I don't know if those people actually watching it or not.

OK so I wasn't planning to announce this until later but I'm remaking my remaster of The Space Giants/Ambassador Magma's dub from the ground up, 22 episodes in so far, but what I wanted to bring up was that, among the VHS bootlegs I'm sourcing the dub from (thanks The Nostalgic Podblast for uploading them), I found an actual English version of the theme song! Seemingly from when the dub was originally called Monsters From Outer Space before they settled on The Space Giants.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYFgqTIYlzc&t=3054s

Presumed lyrics:
Give a cheer, for Goldar's here, stronger than all men!
He's a rocket when he flies, and a robot on the ground again!
Hear Mikko's whistle calling Goldar to the fray, Zoom! Ker-boom!
You will see the family, Goldar, Silvar, Gam!
Watch them fight with all their might, it's a Zowie Powie plan!(?)
Hear Miko's whistle calling Goldar to the fray, Zoom! Ker-boom! Wow!
He is on his way! Give a cheer, for Goldar's here, strong and brave and true!
Monsters come from outer space and bring new thrills to you!(?)

>>23267274
People just want their Kamen Rider year, so they can go "X is for me". Instead, they have to go "Hibiki* is for me".
*except all the parts I don't like
Daimajin Kanon is way better than people give it credit for. I wish I was smart enough to figure out where I can actually buy the manga.

Bump again.

>>23267949
Woah what a find, I had no idea that English lyrics even existed or that was the planed title, I guess monsters from space didn’t work out because it didn’t incorporate the title of the heroes hence they came up with space giants. Also like that Star Wars music obviously added at the end once the audio cut off

Shinji Higuchi's Bullet Train remake (sequel) came out while 4chan was in the shadow realm and it wasn't discussed in the thread.
I thought it was a lot of fun, the first half especially is kinda like Shin Godzilla on train tracks and has some really thrilling action scenes.
The second half was a bit weaker, but I still enjoyed it.
Did you watch it? Did you like it?

>there's 18 episodes
>episode 7 just got subbed
Slow but steady.

>>23276096
It's 18 but broken into two each, right? Feels weird, reminds me of old toku or anime episodes on Youtube.

>>23276238
So you're saying that it's only 9 then?
My episode 7 is stuck downloading at 1.6%.

>>23276362
no I mean they're 36, but because it broken into two full episodes they're technically 18

>>23276096
I think one or both(?) of their translators are doing university right now. The one active on Xitter was talking about finals. They're going pretty fast all things considered.
I've been really enjoying Star Ray. I know they were/are planning on doing Captor, but there hasn't been any news about that with the reveal of the official English dub being AI'd Q_Q

So what's the best way to go about watching Specterman? Low quality English dub? Seems like the show subbed is a bit hard to find, let alone in good quality.

>>23279606
Yeah just the dub, which isn't low quality anymore, there's a remaster.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWwbiDzEvsEmD9vtv8cN9zeKmq6RBnzDh

Only 2 episodes have been subbed.

https://nyaa.si/view/1566808

>>23276096
>>23276238
So did re-edit the split episodes back together or is it just two episodes stitched back-to-back? One of the common complaints was that the editing made no sense in the 10min versions.

Whatever happened with the Kaiki Daisakusen subs?

>>23276096
Watching the subs out of curiosity and oof, the poor subbers actually spent effort subbing the AI opening.

>>23274757
I watched it and I enjoyed it a lot. The second half is a bit slower but I disagree that it's weaker, there is a lot of emotional payoffs and threads being tied in it that I thought were done pretty well, not to mention MULTI TRACK DORIFTO. And yeah it's very Shin Godzilla like but just because Shin Godzilla is very Japanese.

>>23284735
The YouTube channel they were posted on got nuked, & the guy doing them is bizarrely *very insistent* on not putting them anywhere else until he completes them, which wouldn't be so much of a problem if not for the fact that he's also bizarrely *very insistent* on not continuing with them until he gets a *very specific* LD rip of the banned 24th episode. Like I got nothing against the guy, but just saying, sometimes good enough is good enough.

>>23284545
I never watched the short episodes, so I'm not sure.

>>23285672
>until he gets a *very specific* LD rip of the banned 24th episode.

The bright side is that since the episode only started to be removed from circulation in the mid-90s. So you can technically buy VHS tapes and LDs from before then that have the episode on them. Hell, you can sometimes find the box set with the episode included that got cancelled so late that retailers were actually selling it BEFORE the street date.

So, technically speaking, it is possible to have a copy of Kyouki Ningen that looks better than the rip that's online now.

Miniforce's 2nd live-action series has started streaming on Chinese sites, uses the Super Cops designs instead of brand new ones.

Eighteen 24-minute episodes, Thirty-six 13-minite episodes.

>>23287943
Look at this smart anon, solving it for us!

>>23289774
No I think you are just really retarded.

Jumborg Ace's prototype designs vs his final one.

So this only a toku in the much looser sense but maybe you guys might be interested? So I got a Filipino friend, I asked him what his favorite Filipino movie was, he pointed to childhood favorites of his, a 1996 kids' fantasy adventure movie called Magic Temple, & its 1997 standalone sequel Magic Kingdom.

Toei announced they were going to rerun PGSM in July then removed it from their site. I swear this show is cursed.

This might be more appropriate here.
Toei is casting extras for a tokusatsu movie that possibly isn't Rider or Sentai.

>>23297458

>>23295642
oh fuck I actually saw the tweet but only saved the still image

>>23295642
I assume they just announce it too early.

>>23297898
Everyone cross their fingers that a bluray will happen.

>>23297837
I'm honestly surprised this didn't end up on Pluto's Sailor Moon channel.
>>23299304
This is probably the reason

>>23299324
>I'm honestly surprised this didn't end up on Pluto's Sailor Moon channel.
I forget, wasn't there something about Takeuchi being buttmad about PGSM like how she forbade Toei Stars forever?

>>23299344
If this is about Discotek can't get the license, it's probably because every Sailor Moon licenses are on Viz Media.

>>23299334
which one

>>23299360
no? I just have a vague nonspecific thing of "Naoko is mad about things" like why Stars never came out beyond LD

>>23299362
All of 'em.

>>23299344
If she mad at them then Keiko Kitagawa won't voice Sailor Cosmos in the new anime movie.
Although she probably got cast because of her star power, her being live action Mars is just a bonus.

>>23299344
>Takeuchi being buttmad about PGSM
I've heard she loves it and was super involved. And I've heard that she hates it. I don't know what to believe.

>>23299741
We're baka gaijin. All of our information is sketchy at best.

I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying the MONKE toku, it's a neat product of its time.
>>23256181
Huh. This looks honestly better than I expected. Especially the action and the suits. Hopefully someone is interested in subbing it.
>>23278711
>AI English dub
Please post a clip that sounds like it's funny as hell

Didn't his stuff get compromised last I heard? Some scammer email or something iirc

>>23299741
>>23299405
>>23299368
>>23299344
Japanese Wikipedia says she's was heavily involved in the toku and that's because she didn't like how she barely had any control over the anime when that was a thing. Seems she's more indifferent to the old anime than anything going by what's out there.

>>23302429
Original anime >>>> PGSM >>>>> Manga >>>>> Crystal
Turns out that her opinion is trash then. The manga is too rushed, and the original anime solved that. Plus the Makai Tree arc is the peak of Sailor Moon, and it's not even in the manga.

>>23303792
>Makai Tree arc is the peak of Sailor Moon
it really is a nice little bit
>>23302429
I'm probably misremembering bad rumors
but yeah I def recall she was varying shades of mad about the old toei anime, especially Stars making the Three Lights guys

is this a toku? it's a toho.

Here's an example clip of the AI Captor dub. To my ears it sounds like they sampled Bethesda dialog. There's a full episode on archive, and one of the heroes sounds like Dagoth Ur

>delayed again
I'm convinced this is never actually coming out and is a Kickstarter "take the money and run" scam, especially considering the star has been dead for over two years now.

>>23306932
I learned my lesson from the Kickstarter video game era. I got burned once, and decided that I'd only ever crowdfund something that I knew would be completed.
There's a few board game companies that crowdfunded exclusive art version of their existing games, and I was comfortable with funding that, because the company already had proven themselves.
Random people don't deserve my trust.

>>23311788

>>23311788
do it like the "Yellow4 dies" episode

>>23311788
Character replacement in the middle of the movie.

>>23312174
kek, good one

>>23311788
The Crow used the stunt double or a look alike. Assuming they completed all of the out of suit glamour close ups, there's easy enough ways to work around it.
I doubt that they could do the same thing as The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, where they just had multiple actors play the lead.

>>23311788
I read that the entire filming was done before JDF passed and they're currently on editing, but at this point it feels like the Bat in the Sun guy just gonna keep delaying this for clout.

>>23313638

>>23327157
it's like they've never seen a gundam before.

>>23328842
It's one of the common Toei hero shows.
It doesn't have the budget of the theatrical version.
It has more action from the actors than TOKU!

Just finished the few subbed Rainbowman episodes and gotta say it was quite innovative for its time: serialized storytelling with clever use of cliffhangers and not trying to shove mandatory fight scenes in every episode. It also touched on quite sensitive topics for a kids’ show as well.

Looking forward to the rest.

Got the second Akakage set coming in by the end of the month.

Anyone got links for Cybercop around? I was gonna show a friend how cool it is but pretty much every link possible is dead, and that one ddos attack archive had a while back deleted the collection on there.

Did another arc of my Space Giants remaster.
https://archive.org/details/TSGremastered

Though given how poorly preserved the only available copies of the dub audio are, constantly fluctuating audio quality, & the dub cutting in & out in the middle of sentences, I'm really not so much remastering it as desperately cobbling this show back together with glue & duct tape.

Hitting page 7-8 in a day is pretty fast.

Years ago, when I uploaded the first version of my remaster of Ambassador Magma's dub to both YouTube & Archive, they got taken down, the former even eventually getting my entire YouTube account nuked. I'm not 100% sure on this so grain of salt, but from what I understand, I THINK what's going on because of all the legal headaches caused by someone pulling a Chaiyo & fraudulently claiming to own the dub for years, the guy who originally owned it the first place is not only somehow still alive but in fact seemingly STILL owns the dub when you'd think it'd have reverted to P-Pro by now, & yeah now takes it down from everywhere. So naturally, for my new version I uploaded it as "A remaster of the English dub of a classic tokusatsu show that shall not be named or else it'll get taken down." BUT I GUESS THAT WASN'T QUITE SNEAKY ENOUGH because it got taken down anyway & now my Archive account's locked. Though don't panic, my Archive account & the rest of everything on it *is still there*, I just can't log in, & therefore can't add new stuff or add *to* existing stuff.

https://x.com/sailormoon30th_/status/1937707323042201806

Officially announced now.

To the anon that threw up Vectorman on archive, it got hit with a copyright notice.
Please re-upload it, I just came across your post on a cataloged thread and was dying to finally watch some of the show.

Silver lining though, I CAN indeed rebuild it, I have the technology, the vast majority of it was either already available elsewhere on the internet or is on either my current or my backed up drives. This is all really on me for flying too close to the sun & failing to learn the lesson that you should never, ever, ever, EVER put The Space Giants on a public platform.

SO let's get some of these addressed here & now.

I was browsing Bilibili and found the old toku stuffs by West Power. I figured that I'll reupload them in MEGA since Baidu isn't the easiest platform to use if you're outside of China

Damn, sorry all that happened. Hope the re-uploading is going well.

I think I'm starting to get why jdrama folks tend to hide their stuff.

>>23349441
That kinda explains a lot of the toku stuff vanished, well hopefully they start getting re-uploaded soon enough

I've heard talk that there's been something of a Toei Archive purge going on, should I hold back on uploading Toei stuff in rebuilding my account?

>>23348536
>>23348557
oh shit if he's a knight that means he has the henshin trifecta now

>>23349817
It's not the proper toku triple crown (Rider, Sentai, Ultra) but he would have like a weird off-hand quad crown (Seishin, Lion Maru, Rider, Makai Knight).

>>23349807
Actually for all I know THAT could be why my account got nuked as opposed to The Space Giants.

Watched Bye Bye Jupiter back on Monday, good but not great. The production values were solid but the writing was iffy. Was not expecting a shark attack Jaws 2 style in a space movie. Between this, Braiger, and Gunbuster Japan sure was hyped for 2010: The Year We Made Contact.

>>23349955
Yeah most Toei toku shit's straight up gone. I had some of the TTFC specials on there, not anymore.

What if it isn’t even a toku hero film? Also I have zero clues as to what it’s even about

OK so in the early 80's South Africa did a Gerry Anderson-esque sci-fi puppet show called Interster, which ran for a total of 39 episodes across 2 seasons. In 2022 I uploaded it on my now-nuked original Archive account & now I'm re-uploading it to my new one, but once again my failure to anticipate that nuking has bitten me in the ass. The original upload had nearly every episode, only missing 20, 22, & 26, which don't appear to be anywhere on the internet. Thing is, in the intervening time the YouTube channel I originally sourced from has since lost almost the entire back half of season 1. So on the off chance, the VERY off chance anyone reading this downloaded the series from my original upload, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could provide any of the unaccounted for episodes.

https://archive.org/details/interstertvshow

>>23351991
It's a toku film because the extras are from TTFC
The only hint we have is that it isn't Rider nor Sentai, plus that the extras will play prisoners
But the additional information the leaker gave implies it's an old ip

>>23351991
The original post from TTFC said "tokusatsu hero film."
If it's Rider but they don't want to reveal it yet they would call it "Kamen Rider film," same with Sentai.

>>23351951
Gritty Nemurin reboot or I riot.

>>23353136
>>23353189
Oh so it is, if it’s prisoners from the little information we have either it’s metal heroes related or Its an opening scene to the prison break sequence from daitetsujin 1 7 where BRAIN gets his mooks

so someone finally uploaded a copy of Kikkai-Senben: Metal Hero Series Monster Chronicle, only problem is it's on E-Hentai and due to how that site handles downloads(where you need points for non-torrent downloads) which leaves me unable to just grab it from there as I don't have sufficient points to do so, if anyone here can download it and reupload it somewhere else and share it here I'd heavily appreciate it;

what does Metal Hero have that the big three don’t?

>>23348530
Taiga's actor's voice is deep as hell
Anyway I hope this is good, Hagane was alright and I really enjoyed the emphasis on practical effects in parts of it but it really needed twice as many episodes for what it was trying to do

>>23355675
thanks

>>23355995
>what does Metal Hero have that the big three don’t?
well the differences with Ultraman should be obvious(well aside from the ULTRAMAN manga), with Super Sentai it's generally it aiming for a slightly older audience and only occasionally dipping into the giant robot stuff that's Sentai's bread and butter, and as for Kamen Rider, well that's the sticky part there really isn't too much difference between the two, which is probably why the Metal Hero franchise has mostly(aside from some nostalgia stuff for the Space Sherriff Trilogy) been dormant since Kamen Rider got revived with Kuuga

I'm about to begin work on Rainbowman 14-26, get psyched.

>>23357002
Thank you very much anon, good luck

>>23356735
The thing is Metal Hero felt too specific to either space or rescue police genre for most of the time, while Rider and Sentai can do those themes themselves anyway, so bringing back Metal Hero is unnecessary unless it's only for the nostalgia of the past series.

They should've done Decade/Gokaiger-like Metal Hero, Gavan Type G was sorta like that by having him do Juspion finisher in Space Squad, but maybe that's not enough.

>>23356573
His face kinda looks like the late Hiroyuki Watanabe too, crazy that the actor is even younger than Raiga and Ryuga's actors.

Surprised this set got more B-Fighters than Space Sheriffs.

Aren't those the monkeys from live action Cromartie movie?

>>23360810
nope
different toku monk
that was Dr Gori from Spectreman
this is Army of the Apes (aka Time of the Apes)

>>23360833
Not anon but I read somewhere that the ape masks from spectreman were at some point reused in Sara no gundan, with so many masks present I cannot tell if that’s true or not. Paradoxically enough though partly related, the guy that did the ape masks for the original TPOTA DID work at P productions being part of ambassador magma’s production crew, could it be possible he also did the masks on spectreman as well and if so that means there’s an authentic connection between the rip-off and the classic.

>>23360912
>he guy that did the ape masks for the original TPOTA DID work at P productions being part of ambassador magma’s production crew,
that seems roughly like Stan Winston worked on Star Wars Holiday Special

Not exactly /otg/ but did TV-Nihon's own torrent tracker gone?
I want to download some of their subbed dramas and can't seem to open the site.

Nice to see Kawaii! JeNny is finally getting subbed after years of being almost completely unavaible online. I must say, the tone is all over the place though, with some episodes seemingly actually is trying to be a slice of life girls show with them just so happening to have some Toku elements in it and doing otherwise fairly normal stuff, then you get absolutely batshit insane episodes with the monsters and villains. I feel that makes it even weirder.

>>23362791
The most batshit insane thing about this is that staff from the millennium Godzilla films worked on this

>>23362337
Their website redirects to nyaa. Once they got slapped by Toei, they switched to subbing under [Anon]. Their website is probably an extension of that, just happened slower.

>>23362809
Considering that the late 2000's were a terrible time for kaiju movies (practical effects heavy ones too), I guess they needed to work on something.

Cybercop Plamatea kits are now a thing.

Seems like he's put the project on hiatus to properly sub Joneus first

>>23364179
Pretty just he just doesn't consider it a priority. Getting temporarily disappeared happened over a false DMCA over Tongari Boushi no Memole of all things.

Is there like a database or something somewhere that catalogs local heroes?

>>23364832
Joneus was licensed though, wasn't it?

>>23365864
Yes, and those subs are shit too.

Did someone post Messenger of Allah's first episode subbed here in the past threads? Felt like I downloaded it but forgot where I put it after.

Looks like someone on nyaa is gonna be uploading new PGSM raws as its airing.
Seems to be nicer than HD rips of the Kamen Rider shows I've seen from this era that that were filmed on the same kind of video.

>>23368223
It really depends on what camera got used to make the source, what it was mastered at, and what state the masters are in.

>>23384644
Say what now?

Second half of Vanguard Bataar episode 1 is translated. Watched it on YouTube.
So she's the lead's daughter, right?

>>23387445
Is Overlimit really 20min episodes butchered into 2 like Star Ray? Ep1 and 2 definitely go together but it seemed like ep1 cut off at the right time.

>>23387684
I don't know any actual details, just what my brain says. It really has the feeling of episode 1 & 2 being 1 episode cut in 2.

I'm not much of a fan of Dogengers, but I'm curious as to where CAN the Yabai Kamen figure be found to purchase? Can't find it anywhere.

>>23388639
The only Dogengers merch (Ohgaman figure) I've ever gotten was a lucky find in the BBTS discount section

>>23388639
have you tried mercari?

>>23388639
Yahoo Auctions and other 3rd party resellers that Japanese people use.

>>23389023
>>23389191
Tried both of those, couldn't find him there anywhere either.
>>23388639
I was able to find Ohgaman there too, but no Yabai Kamen in sight.

>>23389023
>>23389191
I tried both of those sites but couldn't find him anywhere in sight.
>>23388687
I was lucky to find Ohgaman there too.

Alright so this isn't a toku in that it's not even live-action so please bear with me, but it is a showa superhero anime, & one I think y'all might be interested in!

Yuusei Kamen (Planet Mask) is a 1966 B&W superhero anime by the studio TCJ, now known as Eiken, most famous for Tetsujin, 8-Man, & UFO Diapolon. Known for hard-hitting anti-war & anti-oppression themes, reminiscent of Cyborg 009.

& someone subbed the first 13 episodes so here that is if you're interested.
https://archive.org/details/yusei-kamen/

アポロの騎士 (The Knight Of Apollo), an uber-obscure never-reprinted 1959 manga, & a tie-in for a unproduced TV show. It's credited to Kouhan Kawauchi of Moonlight Mask & Rainbowman fame. They even wrote a theme song that, to my knowledge, was never recorded.

>>23391221
2 more late 50's early 60's manga meant to tie in to unmade TV shows, which thankfully have been reprinted, 太陽仮面 (Sun Mask), again created by Kouhan Kawauchi, & 宇宙人マッハ (Spaceman Mach), created by Akirou Mune & drawn by Daiji Kazumine.

Is Marvel to cheap to hire Plex for a proper design?

>>23390949
Well I’ll say it’s certainly right there with the anti-war themes, even the very first lyrics of his theme is literally “stop making wars” Never heard of this series but again this period of Japanese television is somewhat overlooked save for the iconic shows like ultraman or giant robo.
>>23391221
Seems like it had some development done already before its cancellation, even suits appear to have been made. Wonder why?
>>23391233
Sun mask’s head crest looks nearly identical to the one worn by condorman, and he also somewhat resembles rainbowman. I could also envision how spaceman would’ve been like given the budget at the time

>>23390949
I'm pretty mixed on these subs, like on the one hand they're pretty rough in that they translate the lines very broadly & loosely, like they're only getting the basic gist of the lines. On the other hand that still puts it LEAPS AND BOUNDS above ARR bullshit, the original dialogue isn't contradicted, it clearly isn't blind guesswork, like it's definitely not ideal, I wish it was better but I have to concede it still WORKS, if only on a very base level, you can still enjoy the show just fine.

>>23348530
hope it’s good, I love this series

>>23393347
>Is Marvel to cheap
Yes.

>>23393347
To be accurate it would just look like normal Venom with a wrist bracelet though
I see fuckers all over the place over thinking it thinking it has to look like a monster suit or make it look more like the 70s when it should follow the same idea Spider-man himself had as how they adapt a design that already exists

Episode 3 of Vanguard Bataar was good, we'll have to see what happens with episode 4, to see if I was right about these episodes being halved.

>>23396260
yeah that design is more in the direction of what a symbiote spider-man would look like rather than Venom.

Shit I forgot to mention!
Rainbowman episode 17 is in the bag!
https://archive.org/details/rainbowmansubbed

>>23388639
At this point, been deadass considering just finding some custom vinyl toymaker to make me a Yabai Kamen figure instead. I seriously can't find this one anywhere.

>>23388639
Surprised they never made a figure for El Brave in this, he looks and feels like he'd make an excellent figure.

Very cool. I'm always glad when 60s anime gets subs and they're not ARR or April fool's releases.

>>23395012
Just going by the first episode, I've seen worse when it comes to subs "only getting the basic gist of the lines." Like the old JN Productions subs for Battle Fever J that were preserved via beta tapes.

>>23398624
How are they unlocked?

>>23400990
It's not a crowdfunder, they are showing the planned lineup from various companies. You'd have to wait for those companies to announce when they are ready

>>23393347

i like that it looks like a hybridization of silva, hakaider and venom. fits the ascetic

fits better than the spider man redesign.

>>23403928
I hate the redesign, but they had to, because the default suit is just the 616 suit with a bracelet.

>>23403928
>the spider man redesign.
wow that's shit
I thought Wingman Venom was bad

>>23405151
even still, thats only an excuse that works for the viewer and not the spider people involved. the one dropping quips? thats pete, the one hitting dramatic spider and toku poses, most likely has a japanese accent if that and is far more serious? thats takuya. on top of it, theres only 5 spider men in this event, and when there were much more noone had a problem telling them apart. im suprised gay spider man didnt try to change spider hams costume since they both tell jokes and hes too fucking stupid to tell the difference. this feels more like a reason for adapting the character down the line than any actual in universe problem

>>23405827
Sure, in-universe, they're going to know the difference. But the audience wants Rule of Cool, artists/colorists don't want to create boring stuff either.
I don't like the redesign, but I get why they did it.

New Jisariz episode.

Rainbowman 18 in the bag!
https://archive.org/details/rainbowmansubbed

Watched the first episode of Tekkou Mikazuki and the Wonder Seven pilot, I'll probably won't finish Mikazuki right away bit aside from the CGI this show is a visual marvel, I still need to watch more toku since I'm mostly a riderfag and sentaifag but I was legitimately amazed by it. I hope the cast becomes more likeable because aside from the teenage president and the Sentai team named after weekdays I'm not really feeling it, I also hope that the show acknowledges how Kazuo's mom is a bitch, or at least that's the impression I got from the first episode.
Wonder Seven was fine for a pilot, I'm surprised with how many unique props they made for it.

https://archive.org/details/rainbowmansubbed

After episode 4 of Vanguard Bataar, I'm comfortable saying that the even numbered episodes are just the second half of the odd numbered episodes.

Been watching Blue Swat and something that bothers me is that their armor only theoretically protects their head and chest. What if one of the aliens wants to take out one of their arms or legs?

>>23410966
sparks would fly and they'd go oww

Watched the second episode of Tekkouki Mikazuki, this one definitely felt closer to what I've come to expect from Inoue. Really solid episode 2, I'm surprised that it seems like this show will have a Gekkouki of the week. Wasn't expecting Timefire's actor to show up considering this show released during Timeranger, also I find kind of funny that this means the actor died in two different toku around the same time, only having a 3 months difference, it's most likely a coincidence though

>>23410115
Thank you very much for your work

Interesting how Jumborg Ace is a super robot in concept, but a kyodai hero in design & execution. The reverse of that would probably be Jeeg.

>>23415382
That’s very true and later versions of jumborg ace made him more robot like which imo was for the better. Now with jeeg he later had a henshin hero transformation

So uh, we just might possibly have a bit of a problem with Rainbowman's subs for a minute, y'see the E key on my laptop is broken & I've been increasingly having to get by on copy/pasting, thankfully I'll be getting a new laptop in like a month or two, but until then, that's the most used letter in the English language, subbing requires typing it, A LOT, do you see the problem?

>>23427585
You should have a virtual keyboard option somewhere in your settings, no matter what OS you're on, it'll still be kind of annoying but it'd be way less annoying than copy and pasting.

>>23427823
Oh, well problem solved kinda, thanks a million!

Episode 3.

>>23427823
>>23427585
Rainbowman episode 22 has more lines than any episode of the show so far, & as I’ll be relying on the onscreen keyboard for the most used letter in the English language, I’ll be doing it with a slight handicap too, god fucking help me.

>>23432317
Is the E-key broken or is it further down onto the board? Because if it's just the E-key, then just pop it off and swap it with something like Scroll Lock or Break, along the top right of your keyboard.
Neither of those keys are very relevant to how we use computers now, so you'll manage without it, until you can buy a new keyboard.

>>23432646
It’s the E key & also the 3 key right above it, the 3 on the numpad still works thankfully.

>>23432763
Time to pop the E-key and the 3-key off and swap them for things like Scroll Lock and Break keys.
It's really easy to pop them off.

Bravestorm director Junya Okabe said on Twitter in 2022 that at one point he pitched a remake of Infra-Man.
https://twitter.com/JunyaOkabe/status/1524694453487026176

Not so sure about that redesign, but what I love about the original is that it's so generic that it wraps back around to actually being pretty distinct!

>>23434644
I’m not entirely sure either, kinda looks like a kamen rider with an infra-man theme to him. Not that I’m complaining but he doesn’t look distinctive enough. Also it’s pretty obvious such a remake would’ve never lived up to the original at all
