Vicious Little Tokusatsu Thread

[SHADi]

...which will likely just be a back-and-forth of me and sous going on about how awesome Kamen Rider is.

Anyway, Tokusatsu is a Japanese genre of entertainment--the word "tokusatsu" literally means "special effects". Some of the most popular examples of Toku include Kamen Rider and the Super Sentai series (which some of you may know as Power Rangers). Super Sentai and Kamen Rider are childrens' shows in Japan, but can still be enjoyed by older people, 'cause they're pretty fun!

Other Toku shows in the past include Garo, Ultraman, Cutie Honey: The Live, and yes; Pretty Guardian Sailormoon.

And the christen this thread, I shall post a clip from Cutie Honey: The Live, which was definitely not a kids' Toku show!

And I'll christen this thread with the greatest of all Toku heroes...



Actually, I might've destroyed the thread with kickassery instead of christening it...

The other DB heroes didn't know what they were talking about when they said Saiyman's costume was lame. They were just jealous because they never thought of looking that sweet!

Oh, they're ALWAYS jealous of Gohan! Why do you think Goku "mistakenly" overthrew the potara earring? It wasn't an accident! It was because he was jealous of Gohan being better than him, and wanting to hog the spotlight for himself!

Also, executive meddling.
