Discotek Day August 3 2024 Round Up

[Captain Shark]

Oh damn did Discotek just announced tons of toku and adjacent anime lets start the run down because they did 25 in total!

-Space Sheriff Shaider because Gavan and Sharivan sold well (good)
-Captain Harlock 1978 gets a physical release when it's been streaming on Retro Crush for a good four years
-Dallos gets a re-release on Blu-Ray, but the owners used a big wojak going NO to some extras so DVD owners hang on to those
-Giant Gorg gets a blu-ray release after being on DVD
-Space Musketeer Bismarck because Star Sabers sold well over the past two or three years
-Kamen Rider V3, rescuing the license from Generation Kikaida
-Nanoha Strikers aka the one people think has Jeeg and GaoGaiGar references when it clearly doesn't and shows yurifags got transported to another dimension well before Madoka Magica
-Monster Hunter Bem, 60s monster insanity for the win
-Groizer X aka one of the best things to come from the legendary Go Nagai
-Live action Dororo movie, rescued from Funimation
-Robo Geisha, because that is tokusatsu
-Electric Dragon 80,000 Volts, another tokusatsu
-The live action Kekko Kamen trilogy, I thought only one of these existed maybe I jumped timelines when I try and fail to astral project (yes that is something I try and fail at)
-Android Kikaider, see V3
-and finally Winspector, because I don't know what is going on with Jiraiya and Spielban is the worst Metal Heroes entry so it being delayed is fine by me

Discotek was on fire tonight!!!! I thought we'd be lucky to get one Toku announcement and when they led off with Shaider that was it. Did not expect the rest.

Of course you would have a terrible take on SPielban though. That show is the second best MH series.

The time traveling smashed the plot and continuity beyond repair and you know it.

The time traveling smashed the plot and continuity beyond repair and you know it.

That was the last 3 minutes of the show. It was weird, but whatever. The rest of the show was too good to worry about one little negative. In fact, the only true thing against the show was Daigorou. God damn that dude needs to have a restraining order put against him by all women and children. He shouldn't be allowed within 50 yards of any school.

Forgetting how Emperor Guillotine was recruited are we? And it does ruin the plot. Gran Nazca was a space ship, not a time machine. It traveling to the past makes no sense.

The rest of the show was too good to worry about one little negative.

Minimal world building, below average first 20 episodes, slow pacing, Dr. Bio doing next to nothing compared to the others for such a long period of time, Yoki being brought in for three episodes and locked away for no reason, the villains distracting themselves from their water infesting mission, the music being unfitting giving the water motifs in general, the commander developing a crush for Diana in one episode for no reason our of nowhere, I could go on. If it didn't have time travel plot breaking it'd at least be better than Blue Swat.

God damn that dude needs to have a restraining order put against him by all women and children. He shouldn't be allowed within 50 yards of any school.

None of his behavior warranted that.

Yes, which is why it makes sense for the ending because it was established earlier in the show.

Minimal world building, below average first 20 episodes, slow pacing,

What are you talking about? The first 9 episodes are straight up plot episodes. Every series before Spielban waited until the teens to start its main plot. Spielban kicked it off immediately and would sprinkle filler inbetween them. First filler episode wasn't until episode 10 though.

Yoki being brought in for three episodes and locked away for no reason,

Youki was there for 5 and he got locked away because he was too powerful for Wahrer to control. He was pretty much Raider 2.0.

Now I will agree about the wife thing with Deathzero, but the episode featured the most badass stunt work of the entire show with an incredible chase scene and excellent camera work that it end up being one of my favorites.
