Alkanet Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Any Toku fans here? I see there's a pretty dead anime and manga board, but any fans of live action japanese shows? I dunno I fell out of love with anime a while ago. But then I was watching Linkara's History of the Power Rangers and got interested in PR again. Unfortunately the season that I started back into is the abysmal Power Rangers Samurai. So I decided to go into Sentai, it was a little hard at first since I didn't know where to start and not all the seasons are subbed. I kind of started randomly with Liveman, Shinkenger, and Gokaiger. I tried watching Kamen Rider ooo but I just didn't get it. I'm having alot better luck with Fourze which I've heard was written by the same guy as Gurren Laggan which I haven't seen, but I thought I'd mention it. But any fans here at all? Kamen Rider? Super Sentai? Power Ranger? Space Sheriff? Metal Heroes? Cutey Honey the Live? Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon? Golden Knight Garo? Or even J-Drama? Also, why don't we get cool and original theme songs anymore?

subbie Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I never been much of a toku fan except for what I watched from tv when they first aired the power rangers way back when XD But I recently picked up fourze because of a screen cap I saw that had this unrealistically cute guy (justin tomimori) in it. I saw the first episodes and got hooked instantly, lol. Surprisingly, fourze is extremely well written for a kids show XD I might check out Decade after I'm done with this one. Maybe some other toku stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choko Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) I haven't even tried any of them yet because I didn't really think to watch them. There are a few decent J-Dramas out there that I've enjoyed so far -- there are also some that I didn't really enjoy though =p Edited December 21, 2011 by Choko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkanet Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) It is one of those things I was aware of Toku, in theory when I watched the Power Ranger special years ago and heard about the use of japanese footage. Also I realize now that toku is very diverse, each season of Super Sentai is seperate from the last with no real connection except the "movies" and in Gokaiger which is an anniversary show. But don't let that stop you from watching Gokaiger, it is a fun show and made me want to watch more sentai. Heres the closing them in one language I don't understand translated to another language I don't understand http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLmWRY9jYx4 Edited December 21, 2011 by Alkanet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
