*SPOILERS - you have been warned* I know there was a shadow skill thread somewhere, but I guess it was too old and was eventually deleted. Anyway, due to my curiosity I was contemplating on buying the complete manga. The initial manga was confusing so let me clear this one up. Shadow skill was initially published in 4 volumes by pump comics. Under the dragon comics label, they re-released volume 1 to 4. But due to complex circumstances, this was discontinued before they were able to release volume 5. Under Afternoon KC, they released volume 5 as [phantom of shade], and then re-released [black Howling] which contains volume 1 & 2, and then [black Wing] the …

The dark tokusatsu series Garo will be getting a new season which starts April 5th of this year. Unfortunately Kouga will not be in this season, instead a new Garo by the name of Ryuga Dogai will take his place along side 2 new Makai Knights, here is hoping this third season is a success, I leave you with a trailer of the new season. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rhh_k9c2zAs&feature=player_embedded

is that this issue is out of place but I'm really sorry, but looking tomes manga omega zeroymer Volumes 1, 2 and 3, I got but the volumes 4, 5, 6 and 7 where I can view or download, Once again, I regret that this is not connected with the guyver manga, but I actually think Zeorymer worms as a prototype for guyver, to narratibo and structural level, for certain events, more than anything by the curious way to compare Zeorymer with the guyver the robot with bio armor thank you very much in advance for your feedback I almost forgot this is something a bit silly of me but I know many already have noticed, do not feel that there are many manga…

Looks like we can finally get passed the Golden Age arc and to the demons slaying, black swordsman stories.

Question, is this game any good? Answer, you really need to play it. it's a tough one really when it comes to any games, there will always be haters so we can never guarantee a games success, but when I compare this game to final fantasy 13, I have to say that square-enix need to take a lot of notes. this is how you make a game. this is how you tell story, this is how you do awesome cut scenes. and this is how you create an immerse world that draws people in. you may have seen screenshots of the game and you might think they are mere publicity artwork. I will give you a screenshot here and rest assured, this is an IN GAME environment. yes the view is a lot wider than i…

Ok, I grew up in the 90's with the Ocean dub of DBZ first then the funi version. I grew up with Faulconer's scores and I really love them, always did. There were just certain scores that would play and you would know things were about to go down. It really captured the intensity of fights and the moments and I just don't understand why so many people dislike him. I mean there's the Ginyu Force theme, Ginyu's Transformation (the Death) theme, Pikkon's theme, Vegeta's theme, Piccolo's theme, Time Chamber theme and so many others. And yet, so many LOVE the Japanese OST which are truly aweful! I mean most Japanese OST's are incredible, Bleach's OST for example is one of my …

Yes you did not read wrong, apparently Lionsgate is teaming up with saban to reboot the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in a Live action movie. what kind of reboot it will be remains to be seen but I think this is worth talking about so what do you guys think? what will be the future of the series if this succeeds? will they continue using sentai footage for future seasons or will they make complete original material? who do you think is the director most suitable for this project? honestly? I think Guillermo Del Toro is the best one for this film on the top of my head, even tho people have mixed feelings about pacific rim I think we can all agree that the Giant rob…

For me is this piece of garbage, Armageddon. Not shore if it was originally like this or is the americanisation but I cant recall ever watching an anime more convoluted, contrived or just plain awful. I've seen it twice in my life, once as a kid and a few years ago when I was old anime hunting. As a result I dont remember much of actual plot but remember it being so rubbish I felt robbed of my time.

wow, I just realised something. Akibaranger seems to be communicating this very issue. the danger of the death of tokusatsu and otaku due to various other things such as fashion etc. could it be that this is a real issue in japan? that the people who used to watch tokusatsu into their twenties and thirties are no longer taking an interest in otaku things and are instead spending their money on fashion etc? sorry, this is way off topic. if you think this is something that could be discussed more then let me know and I'll split this post into a new topic. yeah i think we could rant a bit on this topic! ok starting a new thread for this …

This has been on my mind for some time. I wanted to get the Advocacy's opinion on this. Do you guys think Goku or Vegeta could achieve a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan/Blue 3 transformation? If so could they sustain it? Do you think their new god powers would negate the original drawbacks of Super Saiyan 3? Do you think fusing would help? To keep things simple from now on I will only refer to the new god forms as Super Saiyan Blue. The name was coined by Whis in the Dragon Ball Super manga. I think it's fitting, and it saves us from a lot of confusion. I hope this is agreeable with everyone.

Here is something that you guys may like, a Hollywood tokusatsu film featuring Daikaiju vs Mechas, the trailer looks like it will be fun but I wont judge it until I watch it.

This is a fun little manga and ove I came across that reminds me a little of Guyver. Its basic plot is about a teenager Ikuro Hashizawa who is kidnapped and turned into a Baoh, a bioweapon with super human strength and other abilities such as firing a corrosive substance, by the Doress Laboratory. He escapes with the help of Sumire, a 10-year-old psychic girl. Professor Kasuminome, head scientist at Doress, sends various assassins and monsters to try and kill Ikuro, in means of stopping the Baoh virus from spreading and infecting the world. It was writen and drawn by written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki the creater of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Here's a little …

This might be old news to most of you guys, but I just learned that they are making a reboot of the last Showa Kamen Rider. Reboot of Classic Franchise: Kamen Rider Black Sun!｜Kamen Rider WEB[Official]｜Toei Company, Ltd. (kamen-rider-official.com) Big stars signed for ‘Kamen Rider Black Sun’ series in 2022 | The Asahi Shimbun: Breaking News, Japan News and Analysis To be honest, I'm not an avid Kamen Rider fan. I've seen a handful of series, but not hooked to every iteration (actually stopped following after Decade). This particular news caught my attention as Kamen Rider Black was my first official introduction to the Kamen Rider franchise (if you excl…

As most of you know I'm a Daikaiju fan mostly because I grew up watching Godzilla since I could remember but I know there are other series out there that are worth the watch one that got me interested is Gamera arguably aside from Godzilla the most famous Daikaiju out there, at least that is my impression since I have never watched a Gamera film and I'm all for discovering new toku so I made this thread to discuss everything Gamera related in the same sense as I did with Godzilla, now to start of I found on my local Kmart a blue ray edition of the Gamera Trilogy for $9 but before I buy it I wanted to ask you guys if the movies are any good and what other Gamera films woul…

So why am I starting a topic about a Hollywood film in a subforum that is supposed to be for topics related to Japanese Drama/anime/games/etc.? Quite simply, because the movie was inspired from the Japanese light novel, All you need is kill. It also has a manga to it. Despite my abhorrence to Hollywood takes on Japanese franchise, recently I've learned to be a little forgiving of them. Although I have not seen the movie yet, I'm here to talk about the original source. I have to say that it has a great story. On a side note, at least the name change are minimal. To my knowledge, they only changed the name of the main protagonist, from Keiji to Cage, which…

One of my favorite videos games of all time is Skyrim. I was really impressed by the vampire dlc. Being a vampire in Skyrim is really fun. Gives you a sense of superiority almost. However I enjoyed the level system quite a bit.The only downside is that the game is really really glitchy on both the PS3 and X-Box 360. You could be playing and the entire game would just freeze up and you'd have to restart from the next save point. I think I've been playing Skyrim on and off since it came out in 2011. I really enjoyed the companions quest line even though it was very short lived. Both the Dragonborn, Solsteim, and Mages Guild questlines were the longest. I really enjoyed the …

Anyone ever heard of it? I think I remember bringing it up a time or two in the forum. But I never made a topic based on it and not sure whether any of you might be interested. But here goes. I think its just as good as Guyver.It is one of my favorites. The characters pretty much consist or women. Yes, women that kick butt and kill these things, or monsters called Yoma. I've read the entire manga and I have to tell you....it is so worth your time. I have copied and pasted a small summary of the story from the wikipedia, accurate or not it gives a fair idea. Its a pretty good series.

After seeing the new Gamera trailer I started thinking about kaiju and some of the less well known among them. Please note they may be some spoilers. The first is actually a Showa Era Toho movie Dogora the Space Monster (1964) Dogora first appeared in space, feeding on radiation. It destroyed a television satellite, causing it to mutate. It came to Earth seeking carbon to feed upon and began eating diamonds and other jewels. Dogora has only made one appearance outside this movie in an episode of the Godzilla Island tv series which is a shame because it is easily the most beautiful and eerie of the classic Toho monsters. Next we have Gezora the cuttlefish,…

I don't know why they never approached Christian Bale for the role in Batman vs. Superman. Instead they hand it off to Ben Affleck. Christian was never approached for the position and this really irritates me. I think Dare Devil was convincing enough that he can't do it. I'm sick of movie productions taking 9 different actors and putting them behind the role. Christian Bale, in my humble opinion will always be the best Batman. He did a great job in the other 3 movies. All in all, I couldn't believe that Ben Affleck begged for the role. They totally just cut him out, completely. Yeah, I am glad that the guy from Man of Steel is back…

Yes a thread for Super Sentai of course!... Let us rant on about sentai stuff also I’d be interested in which series people like the best and why… as you may or may not have gathered mine is DAIRANGER! So the last Sentai I watched was the end of KYORYUGER which overall I enjoyed Before that I watched SHINKENGER which I thought was pretty cool… at the moment I am watching ZYURANGER… I must say that I tried to watch some of this before I really got into Sentai and I couldn’t do it… But now I find that I am really enjoying it –but it still doesn’t beat DAIRANGER though. Of course without this series we wouldn’t have had Pow…

Did anyone go see the Legend of Hercules? One movie that I thought was downright horrible and still believe is horrible today. Is and was The legend of Hercules. I could not stand it in theatres. Me and my wife went to see this movie. Friggin terrible. I took my wife to see it because we thought it would be a good film because its Hercules. We sat in front of the movie for 25 minutes before I decided I couldn't take it anymore. The dialogue and the story was just horrible. Everything was random off the wall crap. It just went no where for the last 20 minutes. For 20 minutes it was just horr…

so we don't have the toku section anymore and we have threads for the new series so I am just going to make a new thread to discuss anything to do with past series of Kamen Rider... showa or heisei period! I am on my 5th Kamen Rider series... I started watching KR Kiva... hmm, now is it just me or is it going to stay as crap all the way through?? I mean its ok, the whole violin thing is whack, but I do like how its skipping from the 2 time periods, and just the plain weirdness of how an entire chunk of a building just seperates without completely ruining the structural integrity of said building, and turns into some big church monster thing that eats monsters afte…
