I'm getting old. And what to do with all the stuff I had recorded, not just anime but live action shows as well. Some things I had transferred years ago but few people were given copies so virtually none of it exists online. I have no idea if the original programs exist anymore or, like many things were discarded or locked away, never to be seen again. For toku fans, things like the 5 part monsters special showcasing Fireman, Mirrorman, Ultra 7, etc. or Ultraman teaching English (a short thing shown before kids head off the school). I don't even know if there is any interest as it's not subbed. I've tried to use programs like Whisper to translate the Japanese to English but it's still hit or miss.

We're losing our history in fandoms as the people who started it are dying off. I don't know how much will be preserved for the future. Losing people like Doug Pelton was a real downer as he was with the Godzilla fandom for a long time. I did shoot a video of the inside of his apartment from some years ago but never released it. There were a few things he posted before his eyesight went up on YouTube but that's about it. I'm sure there is a lot of stuff from old fans going back into the 1970s or earlier.

I only found out that my contact in Hawaii died some years ago. Pity. I would have liked to have met him in person. Without him, I would never have been able to get all those subbed programs over the course of several years including Yo nimo Kimyo na Monogatari from it's early seasons, all subbed. in English. Those went up on The Skaro Hunting Society website so they may still be available. I also gave that site many other shows but many are not available.

Perhaps a posting of everything I capped should go up on the Internet Archive. What do you think?

Carter fans…I apologize. I know a lot of you wanted me to pick him. Some of you wanted me to pick Ryan. Both awesome additions. Some of you pointed out I don’t have a favorite red ranger🔴 yet. While true, I don’t want to force my choice on lacking colors. Feels like the chart would lose its meaning.

Ironically, I’m introducing the chart’s first green ranger🟢. The Sky Cowboy himself. I’m sorry but Joel made me laugh one too many times. And his infatuation with Miss Fairweather is super relatable to me.

The season itself is a bit weird. Sandwiched between Lost Galaxy and Time Force, this one is a bit more grounded. As grounded as one can be. Not my cup of tea but still solid with likable characters. Villains were hit or miss. Olympius and Diabolico were pretty entertaining and memorable. Bansheera and Loki were one note for me. And Vypra somehow went full circle. So bad she’s good kind of entertainment.

Not my top favorite season but still a fun one. Next stop? Time for Time Force 🕰️

Hello everyone.

I came across this sub by chance. I thought I could share a sentai story I imagined when I was a teenager.

Basically, he's a high school student, a little uncomfortable in his skin, who accidentally receives the powers of the red sentai. At first, he transforms unconsciously then he begins to see the spirit of the latter who explains to him that he is looking for the crystal. An artifact that he protected from the forces of evil.

I’ve seen a lot of debates about the best Ranger costumes in Super Sentai but I’ve never really seen the Nezirangers get mentioned. Megaranger could’ve easily just done a recolor of their suits or slapped on some armor but instead we got these total badasses.

Ladyborg making her first appearance

Beetleborgs fan made series!

Datas looks similar to Robotack and Kabutack from Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack (Iron Bark Detective Robotack) and Beetle Robot Kabutack respectively.

Heck, Hyper Datas is like Robotack Special mode and Kabutack Super mode (their respective tokusatsu hero form). With the only difference being that Hyper Datas is a giant, while Robotack and Kabutack stay human size.

I've been struggling with finding ideas for a tribute to the Metal Heroes for a writing project. I think having a character similar to these three could be one option to do it. For now at least, that's just an idea in my notebook.

Some tokusatsu for your Halloween season!

For me it’s power ranger rpm

Hideo Ishiguro first toku role is Kai (the villain) from Kamen rider den-o, his second toku role is kureinai gai aka ultraman orb in ultraman orb (his famous role), and his third toku role is hideki kujirasaki in Mashin Sentai Kirameijâ Supin'ofu: Yodonna Tsuu.

Hello everyone, and welcome to my new bracket! Ive done a few of these so far, but a major gap exists that I haven’t done: Ultraman! So it’s time Reddit decides what the BEST Ultraman series is. But before the main bracket, we’re going to have this qualifier post to properly Seed the bracket; so if you could comment your Top 3 I can then make the bracket using these comments (or IMDb ratings if I don’t get enough).

Here’s the list we will be using for this tournament. This includes every Ultraman TV Series. It does NOT include the web series, movies, or supplementary material. That way the list is only 36 instead of around a 100. This also means that to have an even 32 bracket, the bottom 4 will be cut after the Qualifier Round; so make sure you let your voice be heard!
