well I hope you enjoyed blade. I am thinking about possibly giving it a serious go after i finish watching Ryuki. have you seen Ryuki, durendal? IMO the best of the lot.

sure thing. well you might not take me seriously. movies that make me think like this are not always what you consider classic. Evan Almighty Dogma Fifth Element Matrix

thanks awfully for posting these!! you did a good job! since dekared is not here these days for about a week it is good that somebody else is good at finding this stuff. these rumours are pretty far out, very interesating. I think hte youkai one is more interesting to me. judging by recent precedents, I would say the space one is more likely. however, going by my own feeling... i think the youkai is more likely.

on monday? wow! I think i actually have points for it as wel I haven't done point outlook yet so it'd be good to have them both at oce.

that's ok. I'm not really offended. you can point out your dislike for anythinhg.. try not to get too heated though when people like something, if you blatantly insult that thing, the people who like it can take it as an insult as well. I understand what you are saying about the final form ride and bullying. that is an interesting way of looking at it. you do think about this very carefully don't you?

do you think that is a little unrealistic though? I mean what do you think of the merits of showing somebody who is abnormal over showing somebody that you can relate to? I mean 90 percent of people would succumb to fear quite easily. I watched grown men scream like a girl in reaction to a tiny spider the size of a pinhead. what are your views on earlier riders such as tendou from kabuto... and shinji from ryuki. also.. do you think that masked rider is appealing to otaku more? so perhaps the main hero is made more like an otaku so they can relate more easily? what are your thoughts on that?

wow! you may be right!! we may become transformers?? that sounds incredible!!!

i understand you feel strongly, but dude... 'crappy drenn' could be a little harsh? I do really enjoy watching decade. i never watched the earlier series, but i take your word for it that they were better, still, that doesn't make the current series the worst thing ever. they are still good. just maybe not as good as before may i say that?

man has been making machiones for a while. they always break down. I don't believe a human can make a machine that can self sustain and also procreate. man will be augmenting his own mind and body with techynology before machines become any kind of threat. we are already cybernetic, all being linked to each other through a virtual network. our interface may not be totally natural but we are interfaced with technology and that makes us cyborgs.

good scriptwriters are within the general population of the world. there is so much talent on the internet. there are many talented writers among us in this community. the only problem is that the good writers no longer get to write for hollywood or mainstream movies.

did I say that?? oops! lol how on earth i make such a mistake

star scream betrayed megatron in the animated movie. it is possible, if the third bayformers is going to be any good.. and possibly following the plot of the movie, starscream betraying optimus would be a major part of that because it is how galvatron came to be.

wow, with all this popularity.. It makes me think, perhaps new fans for masked rider ryuki?

thx dude. yeah, I borrowed dekareds dvd's and they would run in my pc. actually, the screencapture was a little blurred so i superimposed the clear image with hte white background and subtracted all the white. i do think it looks the best it can.

I don't think that's the sort of thing we want. best keep that for places like /b where depravity runs rife.

ha ha , those are pretty crazy!

heh heh, yeah I think it would be good to classify by company, or classify by channel. or classify by year. actually to be honest, I cannot see us having a lot of information on some of these old shows.. unless we start to get more people contributing.

it's the bright colours. think about the boukengers.. and that kinda... 'base' that they have. and all those garish bright colours, it's like one of those messed up kids shows.

I've created a kind of list of programs arranged by year. I made it as a template to save making the tokusatsu page too large. it can be edited as normal. it just edits teh template page rather than tokusatsu page. I'm not all that familiar with the majority of these programs so there are probably many corrections to be made.

i couldn't be sure, but i think dekaranger was free from the influence of disney. i didn't actually like dekaranger, but it still seemed like proper super sentai to me. it was when magiranger started, I started to notice some peculiar changes. this continued all the way until go-onger. then go-oner seemed to seem more like proper super sentai again. I don't think it was a very strong series to be honest but it did seem to contain the proper elements at least. so for me, the infection seems to be present for magiranger, boukenger and gekiranger... I characterise this by what i call the 'tellytubby land' syndrome. dekared will be familiar with me using this term

ha ha, well i thought you might find it interesting anyway

hey durendal, I think you would really like to see this page - http://tvarc.toei.co.jp/tv/library/series-title.html

heh heh, thats a really cool idea! if you manage to get it done, I'd love to see a thread showing your results

yeah, I heard that blade is supposed to be really good. but for some reason i have never gotten past the part where blade faces off against chalice in that warehouse.. and all those numbers are going up on that machine. i've reached there a few times but for some reason never got past it. it's kinda odd.

to be completely honest, I have always thought this is all due to disney messing with bandai. since disney became involved with bandai, super squadron shows changed. they becamer more like power rangers and no longer satisfied the same target audience. I believe this threw the whole tokusatsu genre into a farore, there has been othr series becoming more like what super squadron used to be. tomica hero rescue fire is very much like what i used to love about super squadron. and before that, masked rider became more like that. it is true that super squadron have been much better with shinkenger... i wonder if this marks a change in direction for tokusatsu again?
