Unfortunately, we only get to see toku movies that usually last from 30-45 minutes...*sigh*

lol. Hey youth is awesome but not the ones who do homosexual movies *ahemMagiRedahem*

Don't you mean Blade?

Anyway, it's disappointing to see that the new Toho show has youngsters. While I hate Gransazer and Justiriser, I at least respected that they got people over 21 years of age (although the main guy from Justiriser was younger).

What I think makes a good tokusatsu?

-Good acting (older performers; stage performers).
-Good writing (a planned out plot).
-ACTION (remember when tokusatsu had that?).
-Cool designs.
-Good music is nice (Shinichi Ishihara tunes).
-No card/disc/lame gimmicks/motifs. No Gao Balls, no Karakuri Balls, no new spell each time you empty your bladder and the "magic responds to your courage."
-One mecha. Because mecha sucks, but long mecha battles suck worse.

But, those days are gone, aren't they? Unless I go to Japan and make an indie production, then it will be the best damn tokusatsu in the world. Well, since Agito, anyway.

The name of the game is..."watch a TV show and learn...WHAT "NOT" TO DO!!!" :laugh:

 

[Kamen Rider Oni]

Yeah. But...take heed...it's safer to write a "homage" rather than an "innovation"...because "innovation" can be your undoing...unless your a risk taker...GO FOR IT!!! :198:

 

[Kamen Rider Oni]

well if it gets filmed I'm probably gonna just post up on here and Japan Access. I just hope I don't get everyone yelling at me for doing something wrong.... -.-'

Y'know, Justiriser really has all that stuff you mentioned, even though it is on a lower budgeted scale. It still has multiple mechs but they never overdo it on the robo-fights.

And if you do ever make an indie toku, I'm totally there. :laugh:
