Information about Tokusatsu.

[Rygart]

If I chose the topic of Tokusatsu for my informative speech, where would I go about getting cites for this topic? I can't use wikipedia other than as a start but I would need real sources, such as journals and reports.

How about Henshin Justice. Rangerboard, Japan Hero, Super Sentai Time Capsule, Sci Fi Japan, Igadevil KR Blog, and don't forget JEFusion.

I do check JEFusion =). This is for a college informative speech and i'm trying to get sources to show how it has influenced America possibly, but I don't know if i'm allowed to site sources like blogs and message boards.

There's very little official information out there in English. The closest you would come to that is the book about Eiji Tsuburaya published some years back. Even then it's not something that covers all of tokusatsu, just one of the more pivotal figures within it.

Look for two main people. Search for books regarding information on Inshinomori Shotaro and Tsuburaya Eiji. Tsuburaya is responsible creating the modern genre of tokusatsu. Also check Toho Company and kaiju films. The easiest one would be Godzilla. Don't forget to search for tokusatsu books in general. You won't have to cite blogs and message boards since we do all get tbis information through sources.

You could always ask August for some primary information, he's the biggest official English link we have to tokusatsu.

Well, with a college paper, outside of his book, I really don't think that would count, would it? I know at times you can quote people with a history in their field, but that tends to be people with piles of published work.
