what can I say to my lame, gayass brother that hates kamen rider for no reason. and makes fun of me cause its an asian show.

When and which channel?

Cutie Honey wasn't shown on a TV channel. Instead it was released directly on DVD by MVM.

Cutie Honey is pretty much the closest we Brits ever got to Tokusatsu. Before that we never had Tokusatsu, no Kamen Rider, No Metal Heroes, No Super Sentai, no even B-Robo Kabutack. :P And Ultraman only made it here in short clips in a BBC documentary series called "Japanorama" hosted by Johnathon Ross.

I think it would be cool if other Tokusatsu series got direct DVD releases. They do it with Anime and Japanese films, why not with the likes of Super Sentai, Kamen Rider etc?

Brazil we had
Sentai: Goggle V/Changeman/Flashman/Maskman
Metal Hero: Gyaban/Sharivan/Shaider/Juspion/Spielvan/Metalder/Jiraiya/Jiban/Winspector/Solbrain
Kamen Rider: BLACK/BLACK RX
Ultraman: Ultraman/Ultraseven/Tiga
Others: Spectreman/Fuuin Lionmaru/Kaiketsu Lionmaru/Ryuukendo

There were some others, but I can't remember. But the most was exhibited in a lame way, like the Uchuu Keiji trilogy being showed out of order and in different TV stations, also happened with Lionmaru.

And their fans thinks that was great, the best... such a shame.

National Kid (a huge success in Brazil, between 1964 and 1970; to be released in DVD in december)
