Forever Knight
Eye See You
Everything.
What do you Like about Tokusatsu?
- Thread starter Bad Wolf
- Start date
Igadevil
Mr. Kamen Rider
- Good vs. Evil
- Great location shooting
- It inspires me creatively
- Kamen Rider (dur)
- The end of Ultra Seven (well, all of Ultra Seven, but especially the end.)
- Unexpected Ichimonji
- Foreign actors shouting "Oh......No!" and sitting around a table saying "We're talking, we're talking"
- The way Ultraman can do a space opera, horror story, whimsical comedy and action-packed-we-must-stop-the-monster-fest all back-to-back.
- Evil organizations mismanaging funds in the best ways possible
- Good storytelling rising above the limitations of budget
- Shocker license plates
- Godzilla saving the day/just wrecking everything
- Gamera destroying the exact same dam in like 3 movies
- The emphasis on teamwork, friendship, loyalty, trust, and having FBI connections
- Anytime the shows get meta
- Rampant property damage which is then conveniently forgotten about by next week
- Attacks that turn giant robots into tin foil, then cause them to explode and implode over and over again
- Shadow Knight's car in Kikaida 01
- Tragic heroes who deal with their problems by blowing up evil bases
- The chicks
- Charismatic performances
- Sudden outbursts of gory violence!
- Great tunes
- The absurd becoming the awesome
- Good messages for the kiddies, like "Drugs make you into raving lunatics" from that Zubat episode.
- Almost all problems can be solved by destroying The Evil Control Panelâ„¢
- Things like this:
- Motorcycles exploding at the slightest provocation
- Subtle character moments that prove that even if the target audience is usually kids, these shows do work on multiple levels.
- Stunt guys who can make an unmoving mask express emotion through body language.
- Dynamic battle poses
- The little human touches that make the bad guys extra cool (like the Destron Leader sometimes questioning why his commanders just did that thing they did)
- Obvious stock footage explosions
- That Tokusatsu can make the tapir a symbol of fear
- Belt Buckles of Honor
- If nothing else, it's almost always better than the comic version

/B$ of the Tokusatsu. fanpage.
Its a Dying art that gets looked down upon that takes imagination and talent to come to the screen in an amazing fashion of special effects brought to open up the mind of the viewers to the thoughts of "what if" in a wider spectrum then what can be done with cartoon even if the hero be placed in a Giant setting facing off monsters twice its size or a team of colored heroes facing weekly challenges or a masked bike riding bug holding on to his destiny.
Bad Wolf
Skreeong!

Giant monsters, giant heroes , miniature work, miniatures being destroyed, battles in the water, pyrotechnics, good old SFX , no CGI , creativity in suit designs (especially the monsters) *notice my name , action packed episodic episodes (is that redundant?) no doramasatsu ..there, is that good enough for you? :buttrock: :thumbs:
