    Tokusatsu Best of 2012

    Did this last year and had fun with it, so let's set this up again. This thread is for everyone to look back at the shows and movies of 2012 and discuss what stood out for them as being the most impressive for you. A couple quick notes: Personally, for 2012 series I'm counting anything that...

    Dekaranger Question

    I've been marathoning Dekaranger pretty hard this last week and I just got up to episode 37 - the one where Hoji is dating an alien whose brother is a criminal. I thought it started off a little goofy, but by the end it had turned into one of the best ~25 minutes of Sentai I've ever seen. The...

    SIC Kiwami Tamashii

    Yes, Decade! I've been waiting for this one for a couple of years now. I know it's not a popular opinion, but I always liked his SIC design (regular, not Complete. Complete still looks terrible).

    Battle Fight! Evil Marches On! (Rider Villain Tournament)

    So here's a thing I thought might be fun. Inspired partially by some old character tournament threads at TFW2005 and partially by being up way too late, I've decided to throw together a fight to see which of Kamen Rider's many evil forces bent on world conquest truly reigns supreme. To do this...

    Tokusatsu Best of 2011

    Okay, so I like making lists. Not really sure why - boredom, some level of OCD, whatever - but I enjoy taking stock of things in some kind of hierarchical fashion. And with New Years rapidly approaching, it seemed like a good time to sit back and take stock of the alarmingly large amount of time...

    Showa Rider production questions

    So I just got through watching V3 today, which puts me at as caught up on subbed Rider as possible at the moment. It was a good show but as I was nearing the end I started to have some questions running through my mind about some of the behind the scenes stuff that was going on with Kamen Rider...

    The S.H. Figuarts Thread: Justi-5's the Figure

    I just noticed the unique stand clip holding him up in this shot. I'm guessing this means that he'll come with a full stand, at least as a first release bonus if not a full pack-in. I wonder if they're going to do his original suit as some kind of exclusive.

    The same thing we do every night, Pinky...

    So a few months ago I managed to get hold of the Kamen Rider V3 dvds and I've been watching them on and off since then. This afternoon I got up to episode 36, wherein Archbishop Wing (who must be the single most boring and unremarkable evil general ever) unleashes a plan to take over Japan... by...

    Garo Side Story Kiba

    Don't see a thread about this in here anywhere, so I guess I'll start one myself considering I just finished watching it, courtesy of everybody's favorite fansubbing group. So I watched Red Requiem a few weeks ago and found it to be pretty good, if almost completely divorced from the show...
