what's a Tokusatsu?
EDIT: mwahahaha nvm
Tokusatsu (特撮, Tokusatsu?) is a Japanese loanword which originally meant both "special effects" in general and more specifically, a genre of live-action Japanese entertainment, encompassing many subgenres of film and television; however, in non-Japanese languages, it only refers to the second definition. Tokusatsu generally has science fiction, fantasy, or horror themes, but this is not always the case. The most popular types of tokusatsu entertainment are kaiju movies (the Godzilla and Gamera film series), superhero TV serials (the Kamen Rider and Metal Heroes series), and mecha dramas (Giant Robo), or combinations of all of them (the Ultraman and Super Sentai series).
The term "tokusatsu" is a contraction of the Japanese phrase "tokushu satsuei" (特殊撮影, "tokushu satsuei"?), meaning "special photography". In production, the special effects director is given the title of "tokushu gijutsu" (特殊技術, "tokushu gijutsu"?), Japanese for "special techniques" or "tokusatsu kantoku" (特撮監督, "tokusatsu kantoku"?), which is Japanese for "special effects director", the title usually used by English language productions.
Tokusatsu is one of the most popular and representative forms of Japanese entertainment, along with anime and manga, although it is not as widely known in non-Asian countries.
