Towards the end of Space Sheriff Gavan, we were introduced to Den Iga, a forest ranger who was injured by Makuu. He was sent to Planet Bird for medical treatment and returned in the finale to assist Gavan in the final battle under the guise of Space Sheriff Sharivan. Gavan was promoted to...

Golden Bat, the actual title of the movie in Japan, is based on a Japanese kamishibai, or "paper theater," superhero that was created in 1931 by Takeo Nagamatsu and Suzuki Ichiro. The series is about a mummified skeleton magician who protects the world from the evils, There have been various...

After a four week side story that followed Lupinranger vs Patranger, the final Sentai series of the Heisei era blasted off over the airwaves to give us a show with the completely misleading title of Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger. The name Kishiryu translates into Dragon Knights, which sounded cool...

I did preorder it because I ordered it with their Toku movie box set.

Geats was disappointing and the fact that it's $100 for just the series itself and no movies is equally a let down.

It might be worse than that. From what I was told by a Toku retailer, the current head of Bandai's US division apparently hates Toei and disbanded Team Kamen Rider. Doing that, made a significant impact on the amount of KR merch making its way to the US, so retailers now have to go back...

What a fantastic series Blazar was. Easily the best show since Orb. It took a more mature approach while keeping things balanced to never feel too silly or serious when necessary. I like that it didn't throw the merchandise in your face, rather, let it just be apart of the show naturally...

I tried to watch the first episode, but it gave me a headache. Why does it look so clean? Where is the gritty, grainy feel of a Garo series? Also, yet again the armor was relagated to like 10 seconds. At least the Horror Ryuga fought looked cool.

So is Gotchard any good?

Before Utraman Tiga, Tsuburaya was celebrating the 30th anniversary of Ultraman with a series of films, one being essentially a clipshow full of scenes from the original Ultraman, and another was an oddball parody piece called Ultraman Zearth. Zearth features a yellow rookie Ultraman who is...
