Tokusatsu News Thread

[Karazu Miyazaki]

Is it bad that I COMPLETELY EXPECTED this reaction from you?

Also, something that may interest you personally from HJU's Hidden Masta.

I'm starting to see what's going on, honestly I've been seeing it for a while now. This fanbase is becoming The Standards Brigade against The Take Whatever Toei Feeds Us Squad. Guys...I think it's time we segregated this fanbase...

This is why I hate the Tokusatsu fanbase so much.

[Suzie Miyazaki]

Ditto.

What a lot of our fanbase don't seem to realise is that Japan is really, really different to Europe and the Americas. I mean by Japanese standards this is fine, and this does seem to have ironed the plot out for me ... a little. Another thing they frequently forget: Merchandise driven kids show.

Though Ren has a point, one of the things I don't particularly like about Japan is that I haven't seen many shows where the girl isn't wearing a tiny skirt and acting all cute (Hell even Rescue Fire's ice queen loved animals).

[Shigeru Jo]

This sounds like a rehash of Shinkenger vs. Go-Onger, honestly. Two teams pretending to fight to lure out the enemy? Yeah. It seems lazy, Narutaki still isn't explained (worst part of this), and the story itself is very weak.

Oh, Ranger Keys. Not even touching on that.

Merchandise driven or not, I prefer what I watch to have a real point. This is one reason I hate Decade (among others) and Gokaiger. Putting them together, to me, was just a recipe for a bad story and pointless movie. Then again, the first Movie Wars was terrible, and so was Core, but Megamax sounds amazing, so maybe there's hope if these things continue.

[Suzie Miyazaki]

I think that Narutaki's passed the point where he can be explained. Decade in general is kinda chaotic anyway =/

The problem it's not for any "We can't match the theories" reason, it's because it'd be bloody hard to justify whatever he is since the whole timeline's gone insane.

Though honestly, I think that Narutaki (Um, Okuda Tatsuhito rather, they get a bit meta ...) is the best part of the Decade Net Movies because they don't even bother to take it seriously.

[Riley Jaffrey]

Actually, they were going to explain Narutaki in this movie. That's what pisses so many people off. They had the explanation and everything ready, presumably even filmed the scenes of his reveal. Then cut it to preserve the mystery.

A mystery that pisses off most of the fans, since it's not a mystery at all. It's an annoyance.

[Suzie Miyazaki]

Oh.

Yeah that is actually fairly stupid. Can we hope to get this released via ... something?

[Noa Clarke]

I'm going to try to find the scan that says they removed it, but that won't be for a bit, since I'm going to go work out, and if it's not on Jefusion, I'll do it after my workout.

But I think it was the director or writer who said they were tossing it (this scan came out recently, so it was already finished, unless it just happened to surface recently). Either way, it was planned.

[Otoya Kurenai]

Found it.

Hahaha, fucking Yonemura, man. "I was planning on revealing Narutaki's true intentions, but I thought it would be too early. So I'm keeping him as a 'mysterious person'"

[Psycho Suzie]

Could just be code for.
"Sh*t! I got nothing!"

[Ren Nakamura]

So we have BC04-GoBusterBeet, SJ-05 Stag Beetle. BeetBuster and StagBuster mecha is the BusterHercules. They can combine with the Go-Busters-oh to form the Great Go-Busters Oh. The frog is FS-0 Frog.

[[Kaisu] Elizabeth Clarke]

... What's that about 23 cm?

[Kirihara Akiyama]

The 230mm?

[[Kaisu] Elizabeth Clarke]

Yeah. Wait, could be Toy Size (Height)

Which might explain why it's highlighted.

[Kirihara Akiyama]

It's a toy catalog, so probably.

[Suzie Miyazaki]

The green turbine frog makes me think "Rescue Turbo" for some reason. And the mecha all look a bit like transformers to me ...
