[While this was already mentioned, let me formally thank a member of the Pretty Cure community and the CureCast crew. We had technical difficulties with the original episode 4 and was forced to delay it for two more weeks. After recording, I, who normally edits these episodes, realized that I would be away for a good week in Aruba. Not knowing how reliable my internet would be and how often I would be away, I asked fellow member Redkun, a reliable member and Caster of our group, to edit the episode in my stead. He had gone far beyond my expectations, and words cannot express how deeply grateful I am for him to have gone this far for the group. Without him, this episode would not have been up on time. Without my wonderful Casters, this episode would not have gone up at all. If you guys are reading this, you all have my deepest thanks, and that I hold you guys in the highest regard, whether you are a CureCaster or a CastFairy. Thank you, so much. God bless you all, and I love you. -Kamiyan]

I decided, for the summer, I'd watch a series I foolishly dismissed years ago: Kamen Rider Agito. I never hear much about it, so I'm giving it a shot, knowing next to nothing about it.
I'm on episode 9, and I'm already ready to call it one of the best Tokusatsu shows I have ever seen.
The characters are all perfectly interconnected, the stories intertwined without feeling forced. The villains, the Lords, are perfectly mysterious and eery, and with each Lord the threat becomes larger, giving itself to the theme of escalation. Agito's an interesting main Rider with a lot of potential for an even cooler storyline, but it's G3 and Gills that work as the series' pillars, both perfect contrasts to the central protagonist. The balance between the organic, the technological, and the unknown is brilliant. I can't wait to finish the series.

Any thoughts?

ITS BACK, im looking at model kits again and i decided to look at LBX, based on an anime im sure, but the real draw of them is the price the look and the customizing you can do with them. And its in HD :)
So lets look at one of the early ones in the series LBX Joker

Okay, so where to start.

So I've been ranting about Nintendo and what they're going to be doing about this thing where they're gonna plaster a load of Nintendo ads over people's videos on YouTube about Nintendo video games and what not, and if they're YouTube Partners they're going to take all monetisation off of them, while taking down lets play videos..

..and while I can understand that Nintendo have the legal right to do this because Mario and other stuffn and gubbins is Nintendo's property, I still think this is a stupid idea. It is going to make more people angry at Nintendo and not want to play their video games and support their company, and imagine walking into a Cash Converter's shop to find loads of used Wii-U's next to the montain of useless PSP Go's? This ain't gonna sound nice!!

BUT.. getting back on topic, even if we were allowed to, is it really WORTH it to get a YouTube Partnership to make money of uploading videos of yourself playing video games while making funny and weird commentary and reactions to it?

Me, I used to live in England and now I had to move with my parents to Wales, because my parents wanted to go there and I wasn't financially stable enough to move out so that they could go without me. Back when I was in England I used to work at a Supermarket. When I had overtime I used to get a kick ass pay of nearly £90 a week (or so), but later they dropped my overtime and I got a shitty pay of £50 a week. I had to leave the company when I had to because the couldn't be able to transfer me to a supermarket of the same company in Wales. I am now on the dole and I've been trying to look for a job only to find NONE!! Although I still look for a job I've pretty much given up hope, and like most people all I can do is whinge about it on FaceBook even though it's going to have no effect...

..and the next step is to get a YouTube partnership and upload videos of yourself playing video games and talking a load of random rubbish over it?

It just sounds a bit unrealistic to me. And I'm not sure if I would feel good doing it. I mean, I've always criticized Justin Bieber for his autotuned and fake singing and the millions of dollars he has for it, so here I am making lots of money out of uploading videos of me playing videos and talking a load of random shit over it, while some other dude is only lucky enought to work at a bloody McDonalds once a week and only gets paid enough money to buy 5 bottles of coke?

Of course the first step is to get popular, but how the bloody hell do I get popular? I could send lots of PMs to random people promoting my channel only to be told to fuck off. I even have a friend who's depressed because he used to be popular and nowadays whenever he uploads a video he gets little to no views and comments.

But anyway, there are other things you can do being a YouTube partner, for instance what I REALLY want to do is make a cartoon series. The problem is I can't animate. Well, actually I can but I can only make really crap cartoons like this one I made earlier this year.


Not something I'm too proud of.

But anyway, I want to know what you guys think. Is becoming a YouTube Partner something WORTH doing or would you rather leave it as a hobby and get a proper job instead, even if it's a crap job like a McDonalds or a Supermarket and you get crap pay?

DISCUSS!!

I don't even know where to start. To keep it short, I just hit a wall when trying to put my character designs on paper. A list of things are running through my mind so, after drawing the basic circle for the head it becomes chaos in my mind.

Anyone know any tips, advice, books, places, people that can help me just push my potential to something concrete? Much thanks.

I'm looking for some Tokusatsu merchandise that's not action figures, mecha, etc.

Does anyone know any good sites that have any Tokusatsu hats, shirts, socks, clothes, etc. that are based off of different franchises?

"Send the riot squad and ambulances! KONG HAS ESCAPED!"



I realise there will be some out there who contend that Kong is not a toku franchise. But the original film was a massive influence on Godzilla and giant monsters around the world, and the Japanese were creating unofficial Kong movies that used a suit to portray the title character long before Godzilla existed. So I think Kong has earned his place in the daikaiju pantheon.

Are there any other Kong fans here? Which is your favourite incarnation of Skull Island's most famous resident?

With Sora's words in mind, Haruto enters Koyomi's Underworld to try to restore her memories. Meanwhile, Rinko investigates an arson case with Shunpei, only to discover that a man with a caged myna bird may be a Gate.

Amy gives Gentle the day off, but as she is cleaning she is targeted by both Luckyuro and Debo Kibishydesu who are very inexperienced in being evil.

Hi
This post is pretty long, because it's a lenghty analysis
With 38 years and 37 series, Super Sentai has a very long history. I've already written posts about the sentai writers in different sentai series. Now, I'm gonna post about both sentai writers AND sentai producers, and put more details about how Super Sentai history was influenced by the writers/ producers changes.

The first Super Sentai series was Gorenger, which was produced by Tooru Hiyama, who was a veteran Showa Kamen Rider series producer ; as a result, in a lot of ways, Goranger has similar elements with Kamen Rider, notably when it's about the villains (the look of the mooks, the concept of villains with a mysterious leaders, with generals coming one after the other (the Black Cross Army of Gorenger is very similar to the Shocker army of Kamen Rider, or the Destron army of V3). Gorenger's main writer was Shouzo Uehara, and among the secondary writers, two writers deserve to be mentioned: Susumu Takaku and Hirohisa Soda. With JAKQ, a new producer appeared, Susumu Yoshikawa. Yoshikawa is the major producer of the Uehara written series, starting with JAKQ. the following sentai series, Battle Fever, Denziman and Sun Vulcan were made by the Yoshikawa/ Uehara team. During that era, two writers would be involved in every sentai series, Susumu Takaku and Hirohisa Soda as secondary writers. The Battle fever-Sun Vulcan era was the key era of the Yoshikawa/Uehara team.
After Sun Vulcan, the Yoshikawa/ Uehara team pretty much left the sentai franchise to be involved in the Metal Hero franchise.

It's during that time that a new team appeared in Super Sentai: the producer Takeyuki Suzuki, and the writer Hirohisa Soda. Hirohisa Soda was the only major writer of the Uehara era that remained in the sentai franchise, and he became head writer during nine years. Suzuki reamined as a producer in Super Sentai from Goggle V until Ohranger, and the evolution of the sentai franchise during that era can mostly be told by analysing the writing teams.
The Soda era is divided in three eras: the Goggle V-Dynaman era: during that time, Soda was starting to introduce his personal touch in those series, but was still keeping some elements of previous series: it's interesting to notice that he wroked with a lot of different writers, including some writers that were involved in previous sentai.
Bioman is the first series which started the golden age of the Soda era, when Soda would write his best shows and display much more of his style, with notably importance of story arcs, and introduction of complex villains. Bioman is the first series with Soda working with what would become his favorite secondary writer, Kunio Fujii. With Changeman, most of the writers which were involved in early Soda series would not be involved again, and Soda and Fujii wrote every but three episodes. With Flashman, Soda has found another favorite secondary writer Toshiki Inoue, and Soda wrote his best sentai series with basically Fujii and Inoue.
Turboranger and Fiveman were the last sentai series, and at that time, Soda was pretty burn out, and starting to repeat himself. As a result, Soda left after Fiveman, and Suzuki allowed one of Soda's favorite secondary writers, Toshiki Inoue, become the next series's head writer, Jetman.
Jetman was a success, and was also notable to introduce a new writer that would play a major role in the sentai franchise : Naruhisa Arakawa.

However, Super Sentai needed some fresh blood, and Suzuki brought a new head writer that had come from the Metal Hero franchise: Noboru Sugimura. Sugimura introduced major new elements in Super Sentai, notably the regular sixth hero, a bigger focus on bizarre comedy, and at that time, animal mechas began to be much more important in the franchise. Sugimura was a very good wrter, but it's interesting to notice that during the Sugimura era, there has been no significant new writer that wasn't involved in sentai before Sugimura's coming : he kept Inoue and Arakawa, brought back Susumu Takaku from Metal Hero, and Kakuranger saw the return of Hirohisa Soda. Ohranger is even the "experienced sentai writer" festival, with Sugimura working with Uehara, Soda, Inoue and Fujii.

After Ohranger, there has been a big change of staff with a new main producer, Shinegori Takatera.
His first show, Carranger was a parody series, and pretty much a transitional show: he brough as main writer Yoshio Urasawa, the major writer of the Fushiji comedy franchise, and kept Arakawa and Soda.
However, with the next series, Megaranger, Takatera would involve three of the most important writers of all the following sentai series UNTIL GO-BUSTERS: he kept Naruhisa Arakawa, but would bring back fresh blood in the sentai writing team, with Junki Takegami and Yasuko Kobayashi. Takegami became head writer of Megaranger, and Kobayashi became head writer of the following series, Gingaman, after being a major secondary writer of Megaranger. Except Arakawa, no writer involved previously in sentai came back.

After Gingaman, Takatera left, and a new producer appeared, Jun Hikasa, who pretty much followed Takatera's legacy, as procuder of every sentai series from GogoV until Abaranger. GogoV, Timeranger and Gaoranger were written by Takegami or Kobayashi. GogoV also had as a major secondary writer Junichi Miyashita, coming from the Metal Hero franchise. Hurri/Aba had also Hideaki Tsukada as assistant producer, which became head producer of Dekaranger, Magiranger, and Gekiranger, with Hikasa coming back for Boukenger. Tsukada and Hikasa gave the opportunity to many writers who first started as secondary writers to write a sentai show as head writer : Miyashita became head writer of Hurricanger after being a major secondary writer of GogoV, Arakawa, after plenty of sentai series as secondary writer, became at last head writer with Abaranger and Dekaranger; Magiranger has as head writer Atsushi Maekawa, who has been secondary writer of Hurricanger and Abaranger, Boukenger had Sho Aikawa, previously involved in Abaranger, and Gekiranger had Michiko Yokote, who has been previously involved in Dekaranger and Magiranger.

However, after Gekiranger, things changed. Unlike before, when sentai producers would remain involved in the sentai franchise during many years, startin with Go-onger, every year there was a different producer. Hikasa was involved in Go-onger, then Takaaki Utsunomiya was involved in Shinkenger. The latter was probably the best producer of that era, when Hikasa was pretty burn out, and Takebe pretty much messed with Go-Busters. Moreover, during that era, no risk was taken for the writing, with all the head writers having already been head writers before (Takegami, Kobayashi, Yokote and Arakawa), and no new secondary writer really left a major impact. As a result, the writing wasn't very imaginative with those writers showing some burn out. Shinkenger was the best of those shows, because Utsunomiya was pretty original when dealing with the Samurai/ Japanese theme in Shinkenger.

At last, with Go-Busters's disappointement, Kyoryuger saw a new team coming in sentai, with Riku Sanjo as head writer and Takahito Ohmori as chief producer. Is Kyoryuger gonna bring freshness in the sentai franchise?
Your thoughts? Hope my analysis is accurate.
