Top 5 Tokusatsu you wish you watched as a kid.

[Black Ranger RX]

Man it's just so hard being British. Japan, the Phillipines, Singapore, even France and Hawaii, got to watch these kick ass Japanese superheroes as kids.

Meanwhile what did we get? Timmy Mallett, Roland Rat..

OK so they were cool, but they're just not as cool as the Japanese Tokusatsu heroes.

Then again Roland Rat was a frikkin rude little bastard.

So anyway, what are your top 5 Tokusatsu heroes that you wish you watched as a kid.

1 - Kamen Rider BLACK and RX
Minami Kotaro would've been a great Japanese big brother to look up to.

2 - Choujuu Sentai Liveman
This show was just bad ass!! I would imagine myself watching the show as a 4 year old and beign scared silly by those scary mosters of VOLT and hoping the Liveman would kick their asses.

3 - Space Sheriff Gavan
Like Minami Kotaro, Kenji Ooba would made a great idol.

4 - Any Ultraman series
There WAS an American dub of Ultraman, why did it not come to the UK. DAMMIT BRITISH TV!!! I WANT ANSWERS!!

5 - Solbrain
Simply because it's the sequel to Winspector. It was never aired in Germany.

HONOURABLE MENTION: Winspector
I was only lucky enough to watch this show while living in Germany. I only watched a few episodes though and it was on in the very early Saturday mornings.

Funny thing actually, until 2007, I mistook the "aura power" part from Maskman's theme for Dragonball for some reason. :laugh:
