I just discovered this American Tokusatsu series from the Monstrosities YouTube channel. I don't know if it will any good yet, since it only has two short episodes. The designs look good and the acting is cheesy, but it seems to have some actual soul unlike the recent Power Rangers. Here's the link to their YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/user/FujiyamaIchibansun/featured and their website. http://fujiyamaichiban.com/index.html

A group of explorers make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage looks epic!

I was re-watching Helling Ultimate and I noticed the similarities between Alucard and Waferdanos. Alucard's body is filled with the souls of those he has killed and when he uses Control Art Restriction System Level Zero he unleashes them all instantly creating an army. Waferdanos is an entire sentient forest condenced into a human form with the help of a zoa-crystal. I was just wondering if anyone knew of any other character that had similer powers to these two?

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…

Does anyone have any good suggestions for really good Visual Kei bands? I am looking for something on the heavy side, but I am open to those kinds of bands that like to experiment with their sound. The bands that I am currently aware of are Malice Mizer, Moi dix Mois, Dir in grey, Versailles, and Girugamesh. I know a few others, but these are the ones that I actually have listened to the most.

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…

Its been 20 years after Harry and Loyd's first movie adventure. This time, they go to meet Harry's long lost forgotten love child........after Loyd's falsely lead nervous break down over Mary. I remember when the first film came out when I was only a child. I am very sure I'm going to enjoy this movie from the look of the trailer. I am hoping that Dumb and Dumber To does well at the box office with its release and gets a good review. Your thoughts, opinions, and comments are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

yea, there is some few information regarding the new rider series already confirmed as Kamen Rider Drive, as the name suggest his theme is cars which I honestly don't mind since it is a rider. This new hero will transform via 2 devices the drive driver (redundant I know) and the shift brace which works like the Toqgers Toqchanger but instead of trains it is a mini car, here are the first images with the belt (which I like a lot) and his main transportation a red car called Tridon which can change form with the shift brace, these forms are called Tridon type speed, Midnight Shadow and Midnight shadow tire. what are your thoughts folks? will upload the suit design once it i…

Its about time we get a good vampire film. Last time we had a Dracula movie, it was Dracula 2000, which was pretty good. Supposedly this movie is going to be about Vlad becoming a vampire lord, from him being alive to becoming and undead vampire. I'm pretty excited. I like vampire films; Its about time we got an actual genuine Vampire film that consists of violence and killing humans. Last few good vampire films that came out were the Underworld franchise and Dracula 2000; and those were just but a few of the many vampire classics! Here's the trailer to better acquaint those with this upcoming film that have not heard of its existence yet. Share your thoughts and…

Recently I have been thinking that there are a lot of games out there that are not worth buying. When I worked at Wal-Mart, there were always guys talking about which games to buy and which not to buy. I heard that many games were horrible. For instance. Aliens: Colonial Marines and Alien Vs Predator as well as Terminator Salvation all did horrible. They all got bad reviews. I actually played those too and they diserved the reviews that they earned. So feel free to share your horrible experiences with games you went out bought. By all means, please share. Sony PS Forum held a vote on the 10 worst video games of 2013. Here are the following. These were t…

When I was a 10 years old. This novel ( written by Steve Perry) was very popular and I really liked it. In fact people had been saying that they were going to make a movie on it. I've always enjoyed the many novels written by Steve. Alien Vs Predator is an excellent example. Steve Perry is very talented writer. One day I hope that we can see Shadow's of The Empire as a prequel film to Return of The Jedi. I found Prince Xizor's role to be very unique and how he wanted to upstage Darth Vader.

I have always wondered why the Saiyan's have a god complex in the show. Vegeta and Goku are always getting stronger...and stronger.....and stronger....etc. and the the training to get stronger seems so over exaggerated. Don't get me wrong, I like the show and I don't have a problem with it. But I am merely making an observation. Even Frieza some how knew that the Saiyans would grow far too strong for him to able to control. So he decides to go Skynet and elimate all Saiyan's in a micro second because he knew that a Saiyan would eventually over throw him and rule over the entire universe; however that didn't happen. But it just makes me laugh when the characters are like "…

Recently I've fallen in love with the Dark Souls franchise after getting the first game a year ago. The whole feeling to the world and game was perfect and the lore and how it had people coming up with their own stories and explanations was fantastic. Then Dark Souls 2 of course came along and intensified my love for the world of that universe. If you haven't played Dark Souls I highly recommend it or even the first souls game that Dark Souls was a spiritual successor to; Demon Souls. The gameplay doesn't hold your hand and is very unforgiving which makes it so when you defeat a boss or just make it through a section where you have been failing to get by very rewardin…

Since my experience with the last three games that were produced. That being Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim. I enjoyed Oblivion and Skyrim the most. Yes, I liked Morrowind. But it was not anywhere as cool as the games on the PS3 or X-Box 360 generation consoles. I enjoyed much of what I did in Skyrim and what I did. I am beginning to wonder when and where the next Elder Scrolls( That being the Elder Scrolls 6 and not the Elder Scrolls Online) will take place. It may not have been announced yet. But the next Elder Scrolls is very inevitable. Every Elder Scrolls fan knew that an Elder Scrolls 5 was going to be made, they just didn't know when. Now my only disappointed wi…

If they were to make 3rd installment on Prototype. I'd like to see Alex Mercer return. I mean it really sucked that James Heller consumed him and destroyed the Mercer Virus/ BlackLight 2 infection. I really enjoyed the first game because we got to know Alex Mercer so well. But the more we got to know Alex Mercer. The story seemed to show him more and more as an Anti-Hero. The Original Alex Mercer was black mailing the government. I can't remember what for. But they gunned him down in Pennstation because of that and he was threatening to kill a lot of people with Black Light which at the time was developed from Red Light. So, everyone in Penn Station died soon after. We se…

I'm at a loss for words that the Ultra series doesn't have it's own thread so I'll start it off Let's discuss all things Ultra! I'll start off by listing my favorite series, and why I liked them Ultraman Leo - Talk about brutal! You have, among other highlights, a crippled Ultraseven stuck in human form, people crushed, stabbed, shot, sliced in half, team members dying in combat, the whole team is later killed except for the two main characters, graphic kaiju combat and even the graphic dismemberment of a key character. Ultraman Nexus - Amazing series. Deeper stories and slightly more compelling Kaiju. Completely dark in tone compared to earlier series. Too bad it wa…

Does anyone know where the story line is going to go with this movie or if Robert will return as Tony Stark? I was hoping to see Tony fighting in the suit more and seeing Pepper Potts get her armor. I'm hoping we get to see that in this movie. Does anyone have a guess who the next enemy is and what the plot might be? Any ideas?

Anyone having issues with watching You Tube videos? Namely that you have to refresh your page, sometimes repeatedly, to get them to load properly? Over the past couple of days, I've had issues with videos loading and even playing, and I've had to refresh several of them to get them to load and play properly without stopping? A YT/Google problem, or is it an internet problem (I have CenturyLink and I've never been exactly happy to put it lightly about their service where I live)?

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…

I've been reading a lot into this. Seems that we will see our Marvel Heros again. Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Ant Man....so it seems. We won't be seeing Loki for a while and they will be introducing Tony Stark's Hulk Buster Armor. Sounds like its going to be a good movie. I don't know the full scoop on the story. Not much to nothing. But I can't wait to see my all time favorite marvel hero, Thor bashing his opponents around with Mjonir and maybe get to see his mortal girl friend Jane. After all we got to see Pepper in the first one, and Iron Man got more screen time. Perhaps it will focus more on Thor this time. I ha…

Hey guys, here's my latest video, enjoy

So, have any of you guys seen Street Fighter: Assassin's fist? If not, then I would suggest that you do. This is not a hollywood movie. This is fan made, but professionally made, it was even sponsored by a big company. Suffice to say, Hollywood should learn from these guys. It's available on Youtube and I think the whole movie was split into 12 videos of 12 minutes each. Very cool fight scenes, as the actors themselves are martial artists. The effects also looks natural and isn't even showing any signs of it being forced. I mean, it's definitely something that would make fans of the series happy. If you've played the game, you definitely have to watch this. …

What is the Advocacy's opinion on some of the new consoles not being backwards compatible with previous generations? Would you be willing to pay for a game that you had already purchased digitally all over again? Do you think the whole situation is a crock of sh*t?

despite the fact this being the second longest running Manga ever ( at 110 tankobons!!!) I had never read or seen any of it until the 2012 tv series came out... and I was instantly hooked... this is old skool manga / anime how it should be up there with hokuto no ken DBZ and Guyver IMHO. I certainly maintain that view for the first 2 parts, Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency... I watched the OAVS of stardust crusaders but was somewhat jaded by the awesomeness of the production of the 2012 series,,, but now Stardust crusaders has been reanimated and is currently being aired (however I haven started watching it yet though) what I wanted to ask if anyone had read the…
