When an American girl studying abroad is killed in a hit and run accident, one by one, the perpetrators begin to die at the hands of a shadowy commando who evades all attempts at capture. As Solbrain investigates, Daiki is forced to confront the shocking truth that his former instructor when he trained with the FBI may be behind the killings. But with Daiki incredibly close to this case, will he be able to do what's necessary when the time comes?

Notes:
Veteran writer Takashi Yamada writes this action packed story with slick writing. We get Rambo like revenge, drama, political scheming, Daiki's backstory, and a critical crisis of conscience. The action starts and just doesn't stop, leading to an emotional ending. It's an excellent episode, and probably would be considered even more excellent, if not for the teaser that shows what's coming in the next episode.

Yes, that's right. You loved them. You missed them. Ryoma, Bikel, and Walter are BACK!

Seems a bit doubtful, given that Solbrain didn't even get Figuarts. Winspector seems to be the one people remember/like the most.

>>15018019
>do you think we'll get a trilogy of rescue police movies
Dude, down the hype A LOT. Toei made this "fast revival" of space sheriffs and nothing more. They don't REALLY want a show or new movies of other MHs.

Did you watch Jiraiya in Ninningers ep.34 last year? Well... It was not Toei's ideia. Takumi Tsutsui, the Jiraya actor, asked Toei for that (they did a new suit for the Super Hero Taisen Z but did not have the intent to use it anymore). Do you realize how DUMB and LAZY Toei really is?

So, forget about it. Same shit for Jiban, Metalder, Rescue Police or any other MH MC. It would be pretty great see these shows again (sequel, remake, spin off, special guest, whatever), however... we need to stay realistic.

>>15017354
>This makes me happy because I dont know anything about this franchiese and that will make me go spoiler free

Speaking of revivals, I always wondered, was Gavan really THAT popular back then ( like, was he at OG Ultraman, KR 1 or Goranger level) or Toei just milks it the most just for being the first?

Same shit with the new Gavan movie. People REALLY think Juspion will be back because Mad Gallant will be there... No fucking way. Toei will just revive Mad Gallant (to be killed again for the third time) only because Space Sheriffs don't have a great villain.

Just it.

>Speaking of revivals, I always wondered, was Gavan really THAT popular back then ( like, was he at OG Ultraman, KR 1 or Goranger level) or Toei just milks it the most just for being the first?
We need to see the old tv numbers. Gavan got 15% during its first year (than 14% with Sharivan, 12% with Shaider...). Nowadays, Sentai and KR are doing just 3-4%. If you see only the numbers, they did it "well".

However, nowadays we need to go beyond and also see the QUALITY of the show (technically speaking, if they aged like milk or wine). In this case, I think they are not that good and Toei tries to force it a bit harder... Exactly how they did with Goranger in Gokaiger. Same shit.

Space Sheriff, especially Gavan, is basically the "AkaRanger of MH": just the pioneer, not the best. In essence, it's just jap homage.

>>15018152
Gavan did better than any Sentai series after Goranger. So, yeah, it was not quite at Goranger levels, but it's the closest thing to it. This is still quite a bit bellow Rider's peak with Rider 1 and V3, but Rider's original run had very high numbers in general even after the drops with later shows. X got reformulated several times during its run but it actually performed better than Goranger in tv ratings.

>>15018262
>However, nowadays we need to go beyond and also see the QUALITY of the show
That's not how it works though. Toei went for Gavan and the space sheriffs because they were the most successful Metal Hero series in the first place, and the most well remembered. It doesn't matter if you think they didn't age as well as later shows, they're the most well known and referenced, so they have the strongest brand power, which is why they were the ones that got a revival.

Errrrrrrrrr.... I know it, anon. It's pretty obvious, basic stuff.

But we are talking about different things. You are talking about common 2016's audience, how normies and actual Toei see it. I'm talking about old fags who have been watching this shit since 80's (including myself - yeah, I'm old). So, let's make a clear division here.

And let's be honest: if Toei REALLY trusted in this franchise, they would made a regular tv series show (not "commemorative" v-cinemas), also putting every non-space sheriff as guests in relative current series... But they don't have the guts to do it (will and audience).

As I said, Toei is lazy as hell even to do it simple things (like the Jiraiya case).

>>15018115

Well if all it takes for those sorts of cameos is to make the damn suit then it's not that outlandish. They're running out of long-lasting suits to make!

My friend said that Gavan was the absolute coolest for kids back in the 80s. It was what you watched if you had cool parents who would let you watch scary and violent shows. It was a more scary and violent than even KR and Sentai. Goggle V was the Sentai at the time and Rider wasn't airing on TV that year.

>>15018382
>>15018382
I think his point is that Goranger didn't get that much of a push in Gokaiger. There was Black Cross Fuhrer returning as the villain in 199 Heroes with the Goren Gokaioh appearing as the movie's great power, but outside of that it was basically just another series. Even in that movie we basically just get a speech from Akaranger rather than actual screentime bonding with him. It's definitely nowhere comparable to the focus that Rider 1 and Gavan get compared to the later Riders/Metal Heroes.

>>15018382
I'm not the one who brought Gokaiger for a wrong example though.

>>15018153
Plus Kurosaki is basically retired anyways. I wouldn't be surprised if Haruta was more than happy when he was asked to show up in the crossover film, given how active he is nowadays.

>>15018365

Episode 21: The Return of Winspector (PART I)

https://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=880113

Buckle up, because this is the one you've been waiting for! When the GigaStreamer, Winspector's most powerful weapon, is sent back to Japan to be overhauled and tested by Braver, Commander Masaki reminisces about his irreplaceable first team. But something strange is going on: Winspector can't be reached at the ICPO headquarters in France. Even more troubling are the sightings of Bikel and Walter within the city... and finally, Ryoma himself attempting to murder a child! What's going on here? Has the legendary Ryoma Kagawa become a criminal?!

Notes: This is a clip show, pure and simple. Just like American shows that reminisce about past episodes and seasons, this episode is primarily made of clips from Winspector and music from the show. But if you love Winspector, that won't be a bad thing, will it? Very little story in this episode, but what it sets up for is a fantastic three part team-up. Junko and Koyama won't be back though, unfortunately. Enjoy this slickly written feel-good episode that leads into an amazing Terminator 2 ripoff!

Episode 21: The Ruthless Fire (PART II)

https://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=880457

Winspector's Ryoma Kagawa, Walter, and Bikel have shown up in Tokyo! However, Ryoma's actions are baffling: he indiscriminately attacks individuals including a child while claiming to be on a top secret mission. And even the ICPO in Paris, the organization that governs Winspector's international activities, claims to have no knowledge of Ryoma's presence in Japan. When Bikel becomes worried and contacts Commander Masaki, the awful truth will begin to unravel!

Notes:
There is a scene in here that takes place in a house with a bound and gagged couple that is a mashup of two scenes from Terminator 2: the one where the T-1000 is disguised as a man's wife and stabs him through the mouth, and the scene where Sarah repairs the T-800 in a garage. Appropriate given the gimmick in this episode. However, the Terminator comparisons end there: the story takes its own route afterwards. There is a disappointing quantity of stock footage in this episode. You will notice some scenes of the Winspector team saving people from Winspector (remember that scene of Bikel lifting the people up from Winspector Episode 1?), and some of the Solbrain team from Solbrain Episode 1. That being said, it's actually a very fun episode, and seeing Ryoma Suit Up again (even though he's not in his badass Camaro) was really satisfying.

>>15022752

Episode 23:
From Ryoma to Daiki! (PART III)

The rift between Ryoma and Daiki grows as the deadly shapeshifting spy robot, Messiah, escapes. With no way to stop it from self destructing, the Winspector and Solbrain teams learn a horrifying truth about the robot's self aware behavior. Now, both teams must work together to prevent as many civilian casualties as possible.

Notes: A really good episode, a great conclusion to the three parter. The writing is slick and the characterization is believable. Though somehow, I feel like the ends-justify-the-means characterization of Ryoma is a bit out of character, unless being in Europe really has taught him that behavior. Luckily, things do change when he comes back later in the series. I guess they also needed a way to sell off the stocks of leftover GigaStreamer toys, so they brought it back into the series! Enjoy this excellent, well written episode. And unfortunately, Bikel and Walter's final non-flashback appearance. :(

A combination of both, really. I have the closed captioning scripts, and in some cases I actually own the physical shooting scripts for the episodes (which are frequently different) but I go through every line, listen, and do a full translation. Machine translation only occasionally translates idioms: it tries to do them literally. CC scripts also do not have things like songs or onscreen text, and I have actually noticed typos from time to time.

To give an example of a machine translation issue, the expression, "I won't dance in your palm." -- means, "I won't let you manipulate me." -- machine translation will almost always translate it literally. It also can't get pronouns and subjects correct, you really have to listen. Japanese is often a very vague language.

>>15025696
There's also the matter of localization. There's a few things that will have no meaning in English, so you have to localize them to make sense. The fact that Bikel had a kind of goofy accent needed to be conveyed to make the character work, since the accent is directly referenced several times, so I had to give him kind of a goofy Jersey/New England accent.

By the way, people who automatically translate Kansai as Southern American are dumb.

Osaka people are super proud of their accent, which they say no one outside of Osaka can imitate. They have a baseball team that they follow rabidly. They have the best seafood in Japan. They're coastal. They're a little rude, but in a friendly way, and their comedy is renowned. And they have a super rivalry with Tokyo and especially Tokyo's baseball team. That's why it's obvious: if you do Osaka as a Boston accent, you're doing it right.

>>15026424
>By the way, people who automatically translate Kansai as Southern American are dumb.

Don't people only do this because of how the dub of Azumanga Daioh handled Osaka's accent?

People were not hypocritical - and that was one reason why these shows are great. Just it.

To be pretty honest, there's no problem about it because all those points where showed as "serious bad shit", always self-explanatory: Sake? You got drunked and feel sick next day. Drugs? You go to the hospital. Satanic references? You got hurt in the end (so follow the good path). Suicide? You die. Cute girl licking your face? Not nasty, it's fucking awesome.

In general, parents nowadays are pretty dumb, super protective, don't have time to waste and let the heavy hand of midia tell you what your kid should watch. In some countries, this is so strong there is no kids shows anymore.

The guys who watched toku in 80's-90's are now the fathers of these alienated millenials.

Hard to know, mate. Specially shows with more than 1 writer (co-writers).

But there are some common points I like: bring back an older character senpai-like to the battlefield is always nice (Gavan->Sharivan, Winspector->Solbrain). And MCs who got upgrades are neat too (this is basically a law for most toku heroes).

Yeah, those are cool (when done nicely). Though Jiban did the "older character is coming back" trend by having the kid sidekick show up instead of the hero, weirdly enough.

Fuck torrents. They are good just for releases. Since things became "old", DDL is the key. Besides Champstice's Mega folder, I created my own Juspion folder to share with the community.

https://mega.nz/#F!OFBwmDqJ!309z7HbqQjsEKVF4G89yDw

I truly believe this is the ONLY decent way to spread toku, specially MH shows among beginners. Every single show done MUST have a DDL account.

BTW, Gavan and Byclosser have DDLs folder?

>>15028165
Yep. Otaku posted it awhile back.

>>15028202
Problem with DDLs and MEGA specifically is that there is a cap on how much one account can upload. They also get dealt with faster for copyright infringement as far as I can tell.

>>15028260
And the problem with torrents is that after a while, they barely get any seeds. I can't even fucking finish Bioman now.

What was lost from Megaupload?

>>15028365
Just off the top of my head, a ton of artbooks, soundtracks, etc. Entire subbed series (Hurricanger, etc), better raws of a ton of stuff like AT VOTOMS Shining Heresy, etc.

Can't 4-5 people here create each one an account to put only 1 show inside? Ex: I did one just for Juspion and share the link, anon 2 do another for Gavan, anon 3 for Byclosser, anon 3 for Winspector, anon 4 for Solbrain...? Then we create a DDL show list inside some pastebin and share.

About deleted copyright, don't they do it based on traffic, or just the file name?

>>15028282
I was not talking about Mega specifically. I just have an account there. If motherfuckers delete it, I'll find another place and upload again... What else can I do?

I really wanted to watch that show. I heard Deadfish had some decent subs too.

>>15028509
No, it's actually Changeman that they finished (well, almost, the translator didn't like the musical episodes), not Robot Detective.

On the bright side, MBE and Hi no Tori are doing a joint project for Robot Detective. The downside, Hi no Tori move as fast as they usually do, and any non-MBE releases must be downloaded via a forum account.

>>15028509
Chief problem with that is that one of the members is married now. Virushopper is the only active one at the moment.

Ah, alright then. It's been a really long time, so I'm bound to mix up details. I recall being kind of upset they didn't want to do it because I unironically love the karaoke episode.

I do know that Robot Detective is getting worked on and it's almost complete. Though knowing Hi no Tori it'll be another two years before the last four episodes come out.

Just checked and they're up to Zyuohger's release. the one at L&C still says two episodes are missing.
The one at tokusubs wiki is also updated with GUIS's release(which started this year IIRC) and also claims there's two missing episodes on deadfish.
But it added this "sentai fan" subs of those two missing episodes(the two that were never subbed, not the one lost with MU).

Luckily, I already got the Kakuranger episode with Tsuruhime's sisters as a palette cleanser.

You are forgiven though, because Takaku is the one who couldn't adapt to a series that's relatively grounded. Doesn't help that this came right after one of the best episodes.

Episode 24: Save the Goshawk!

https://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=881368

In his off time, Daiki spends time with members of a local birdwatching society. By chance, he encounters a young misfit in whom he hopes he can help instill the values of life. But poachers are afoot, attempting to catch and smuggle an endangered goshawk. Can Daiki stop them before the poaching endangers human lives as well as bird lives?

Notes: Susumu Takaku once again writes another environmental episode about giant birds, only this time without hilarious puppets. You surely remember the giant bird episode of Winspector, and the one with the giant bat monster and witch that somehow hypnotized Bikel in Winspector. Now we have a more realistic but no less absurd episode of Solbrain. When Daiki has time off he's trying to pick up some girl from the birdwatching society. He has time to counsel some asshole kid about the meaning of life and then that kid runs into some poachers who are after an endangered goshawk. Things happen and then DAIKI THREATENS HUMAN BEINGS WITH THE GIGASTREAMER. That seems like an incredible escalation of force. Also, why is Solbrain even investigating bird poaching? Isn't that a job for the prefectural police, or the equivalent of Fish & Wildlife?

On the other hand, the things Keiko says about the Tama River pollution is true, and it is also true that in the 1990s, it rebounded and now much of the damage has been reversed thanks to conservation laws.

I am afraid I do not like this episode because I don't see how Solbrain should be investigating poaching. But I guess that's why they are heroic. Even the smallest crimes matter to them. And on TV, there's no such thing as "jurisdiction".

Seriously though, Daiki using the Gigastreamer against humans for such a minor crime is completely missing the point of the crossover that just occurred. Feels like Takaku didn't bother to get informed about what the other writers were doing.

But hey, a Sugimura episode is coming next at least.

That's the point when you watch and analyze it as an adult, from a writer's perpective. When I watched it as a kid (and from a kid's perpective), I didn't give a fuck about it, kek...

That's EXACTLY why I hated this episode. Ryoma just gave him the Gigastreamer BECAUSE he showed restraint. Very next episode, he threatens two randos. Yes, poaching is cruel and it is a crime, but it's not worth threatening people with a weapon that can destroy a building in one burst.

Episode 25: Giant Mothership, Come In

https://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=881464

An atmospheric compression device, capable of immense destruction is stolen by a criminal. Threatening the destruction of an oil refinery in distant Iwate Prefecture, the only hope to reach it in time is to have the professor that built the device accompany the Solbrain team aboard the SS-1. But when bombings begin to occur, will the team make it in time to stop the oil refinery from going up? Daiki makes a risky gambit that could very well lead to his own death!
Notes: Main writer Sugimura wrote this episode. When I'm translating and localizing, I can tell you that the best episodes to translate are always Sugimura or Ogizawa episodes. They love technical jargon, checklists, and other things that really make the show feel like a police show. So whenever I see one of their episodes, I know it's going to be a joy to write for, and this is no exception.

I really feel like you are going to like this episode. Sugimura writes a perfect mystery here with a ticking clock element, and Daiki's gambit is nothing short of inspired. This episode is the perfect heroic counterbalance to the previous Takaku episode which showed him threatening people who were of no real threat to him with the GigaStreamer one episode after Ryoma gave him the GigaStreamer for refusing to use it when he had the chance. This episode will make you forget the bird episode, and will actually make the SS-1 cool again.

You know, I think if they had an hour to do a Rescue Police episodes, I really think they could do some amazing crime storylines. When I see things like recent shows such as Arrow or even older shows like 24, it's obvious that having time to set up a crime can be a really effective storytelling technique. Ah well. Maybe if we buy enough Winspector Figuarts they'll think about doing that Winspector Prime Amazon Streaming series I had a dream about.

Curious point.

Technically speaking, it's completely possible. However, the major problem here is about market focus: even with 40 sentais + 27 KRs + 18 metal heroes + many other solo productions, Toei don't have any intent to risk the format as an adult show (personally I think they should: sales and tv rates are terrible nowadays), but these guys are lazy as fuck, don't want to change the style, became slaves of Bandai (even Saban) more than never, and can't see their own franchises with 1% chance to be "serious & for adults", like US live action has been trying to be along these recente years (ex: DC TV with Arrow, like you said).

Unfortunately, they will die looking their shows as kid stuff... FOREVER.

The thing is, it can be done well under the right hands. Take Galatt, nobody complains about that, since it takes the Dr. Slump route (by the director of Vifam, no less). Same gimmick, too.

That they had Urasawa as only an occasional episode writer for the 'Tacks was the biggest wasted opportunity.

Kabutack wise, it's only the Christmas special, mercifully, and the Robotack/Kabutack Wonderland crossover is also on DVD. Never a series release, probably not enough interest to justify an actual physical release. But maybe they'll run it on Toei Channel or on their app.

Yeah. Talking about other toku shows, when I watched the first Garo for the first time, I thought: holy shit, blood, head rips and even tits. Pretty edgy. However, it was aired after midnight and got only 25 eps.

In essence, Toei don't have the balls to do something like this. They just ignore the old audience - the guys who can spend $$$ buying an expensive collectible, dvds, BDs and shit like that. Even Disney realized it and changed a lot: they license e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g, for all age$.

Worth noting that the crossover tries pretty hard to ignore the awful second half of Blue Swat. Queen gets almost no screen time, they bring back the Back to the Future theme, and they even go so far as to cut out Platinum entirely from the flashback explaining who Blue Swat are. Thank god for that. Sieg's beard is weird though.

It's a much better note to end Blue Swat on then the actual show. Actually, it's also one of the only really fun episodes of B-Fighter after the drop the Goahm Zone. Maybe that's just my love for Bill Goldy talking though.

Episode 26: The Detective's Trap

https://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=882936

When a notorious corporate bomber is struck by a car near a police station and loses his memory, the detective from Public Safety responsible for his interrogation shifts his tactics into high gear. His intense and cruel interrogation methods put him at odds with Solbrain. As the detective attempts to use the injured man as a trap to lure the other bombers out of hiding, Solbrain is forced to confront not the bombers, but the concept of brutality among the police force.

Notes: A fantastic Ogizawa episode, and one of the most amazing of the series. Solbrain is forced to confront the ideas of excessive force and brutality among the police. In today's modern society where headlines are frequently dominated by questions about how much policing is too much, and what constitutes torture, this is an interesting character piece that asks how far does one go -- how far CAN one go before what they do is worse than what the criminals themselves do, and is it worth going that far if it saves others?

>>15043374
This is another episode where it reiterates how different writers characterize Solbrain differently. Solbrain isn't willing to use this detective's trap to stop a serial bomber when Daiki recently used a plasma gatling cannon to threaten people who killed a bird.

>>15045627
On a side note, when you put the sillier/weirder episodes aside, the show seems to be more serious overall than Winspector. Doesn't even have a prominent recurring kid character. Is there an equivalent to that episode with the bomb threat to the HQ/Misaki?

>>15045662
It's definitely more serious than Winspector, probably because Bikel is persistent comic relief.

There is a character who will be coming in soon who effectively is the "last boss", a recurring villain, who cooks up some truly twisted schemes in many episodes. There's not one as intense as the boy with the bomb, but there are some really mindbending episodes to come including one that seriously fucked me up because it's one of the most terrifying things I can imagine.

Not to mention that when using the Gigastreamer he was negligent as fuck and set the warehouse on fire - seriously threatening the kidnapped birdwatcher who they had to rescue as the warehouse was collapsing.

A pretty stark contrast to the Daiki who tries to take the moral high ground.

Episode 27: The Secret of the Talking Plant
A little girl accidentally takes a potentially deadly genetically engineered organism out of her father's laboratory, but discovers that the organism is capable of speech and thought! Now, a group of men who have broken in to steal the research for profit will stop at nothing to get it back... unless Solbrain stops them first!

WARNING: SAGIYAMA. Sagiyama's favorite stuff: little girls and magical creatures, only she does stick to science this time instead of magic, and she doesn't have a heartbreaking ending, though maybe she wanted to, because they certainly set up for that. That being said, it's not a bad episode. I enjoyed translating this one, even though the premise is a little silly. I do notice that Sagiyama seems to enjoy writing for Jun, and he certainly is probably the main character in this one. It's a goofy episode but well written and fairly enjoyable.

Episode 28: Hurry! Lifesaving Mothership

The SS-1 is hijacked by a desperate criminal during his getaway. When he takes a hostage, only Daiki and Reiko are left on board, forced to fly him to Hong Kong. But when an attempt to subdue the criminal goes awry, the hostage is injured and the SS-1 damaged in the chaos. Barely able to fly and with the hostage dying, this could be a mission that no one returns alive from.

Notes:
Main writer Sugimura writes this intense episode about the mothership SS-1 being hijacked. They use the "rare blood type" story element once again as they've done already once in this series, and once in Winspector, but you know what -- it works. Also like Winspector, once again, we get an amazing scene of the main hero doing a Standing Death of Benkei scene, where Daiki pushes himself so hard that he ends up unconscious while standing, which in Japanese culture is one of those story tropes that is heroic beyond heroic: where you're so devoted to your mission that you will die before you will fall down.

Episode 29: Revolution of the Children's Empire

Jun meets an elementary school boy with a shocking understanding of technology and computers and gives him a tour of Solbrain. But this young man has his sights set on one thing: reverse engineering the GigaStreamer and using its fearsome power to overthrow grown ups and become the ruler of Japan! Can Solbrain stop this young terror without harming him?

Notes:
Someone asked me earlier if Solbrain had any episodes that matched the shocking scenes in the episode with the boy with the bomb in Winspector. I had forgotten a scene at the end of this one. This episode by Takashi Yamada has a handful of shocking moments, including one where Daiki is firing (though intending to miss) at a vehicle carrying a child. In his defense, he's returning fire and never aims at the car. The mini GigaStreamer that appears in this episode is, amusingly, the actual toy used as a prop.

Another scene I thought was interesting in this episode was how SolDozer greets Akira, and is completely ignored. Perhaps mirroring childrens' responses to SolDozer? I don't know.

Lastly, the name Akira is almost certainly chosen in reference to the original psychic experimental child from the legendary Akira manga series and anime film.

Absolutely. She does exactly the same shit the other 2 guys do.

Benikiba will probably use some dark ninjutsu to revive Hellvira in "Girls in trouble" and Mad Gallant in "Gavan x Dekaranger". The Juspion scene will be probably a flashback (to show the character for beginners) or Juspion's Tarzan as a second generation (pretty hard to believe).

>>15056573
My issues are as follows:
Less focus on teamwork, Shou becomes significantly more powerful than the other members (the rest just watch him fight the main villain in the final episode)

Total revision of the villains from literally being the space mafia to just being generic ancient evil aliens dedicated to doing evil shit in the universe for no good reason. Earlier they have plans that actually make sense like intending to redevelop the earth as a tourist spot for rich aliens.

Platinum is a non-character who has no personality, consists almost entirely of stock footage, and has no purpose other than to sell toys. He almost never even talks to the other characters because, again, almost all of his footage is stock clips. His debut at around episode 23 is where the show quickly starts to go downhill. He even has a giant banana on his chest for no reason.

Villain suits are revised to be less organic and intimidating and more like Sentai villain suits.

More fist-fighting and less focus on gunplay. Unlike the second half of Janperson, Blue Swat doesn't have good enough choreography to make this decent.

Episodes get much more generic and have less interesting plots. Lots more Space Mafia sends MOTW to kill Blue Swat. The worst episode is still probably an alien abduction/male pregnancy episode in the first half that can't decide if it wants to be Junior or Alien (the tone literally changes from scene-to-scene).

They drop the Back to the Future music. On the plus side the insert songs in the second half are mostly really good. Platinum's is the only redeeming aspect of his character besides the totally bungled "Alien Space Jesus" concept.

Really the second half's worst sin is dropping near every good element that made the first half unique while retaining all its problems and adding new ones on top. Pic is what the prop department considers a strange alien surgical implement to look like.

>>15056765
No wonder they turned to what was basically Super Sentai but with cooler looking suits the following year.

>>15056842
Technically, Juukou started out as Super Sentai mashed with a Space Sheriff show, but went "screw it" and ditched the latter part after a while.

Overall, the mid-to-late 90s quickly became the dark age of Metal Hero with its attempts to keep the viewer audience, considering everything Miyashita had to put up with until Robotack.

>>15049873
I guess girls have to be unsuited. I always liked Junko more in Winspector than Bikel and Walter, when I found out SolJeanne was gonna be a thing I thought she was gonna do more.

>>15057583
Only show where metal chicks were REALLY useful (got fights AND screentime) was Diana + Helen in Spielban (they got even gal x gal fight); and Sara in Blue Swat, specially during 1st half.

Annie in Shaider has some exceptions, did a lot of action scenes by her own, but she got no armor, so... not the best example.

The rest (Emiha in Jiraiya, Yoko in Jiban, Junko in Winspector...) was just "secondary female sidekicks" with small timescreen and 1-2 own episodes in the middle of 50.

>>15057660
Still a better track record than Kamen Rider though.

If you are going to watch a trilogy show (Gavan-Sharivan-Shaider, Winspector-Solbrain-Exceedraft) or duology (B.Fighter-B.Fighter Kabuto), it's nice to start at the beginning. You can watch as a solo show without major issues, but you'll miss some references/flashbacks/camebacks. So, avoid it.

If you want to watch a independent show (Juspion, Spielban, Jiraiya, Metalder, Jiban, Janperson or Blue Swat), no trouble.

Basically, that's it.

In my shitty opinion, I think you should just take a look, see the theme you like more (space cop, ninja, police x monsters, police x criminals, robots) and choose one. In THIS case, I think you should start watching Gavan, Winspector or Juspion: both got 100% subbed episodes, the first 2 are the beginning of their respective trilogies and Juspion is a closed show.

Go for it.

>>15058688
I think I will start with Gavan and do the Space Sheriff trilogy, the robots look quite cool. Also what's the deal with the Next Generation movies? Are they rebooting the series with them or something?

Space Sheriff Trilogy: Gavan (82) --> Sharivan (83) --> Shaider (84) TV SERIES. 45-50 episodes for each one (+2 short movies with 20 minutes for Shaider. Basically 2 extra episodes).

The Space Sheriff Trilogy NEXT GENERATION is the next generation of these cops, in long cinema format. Started with Gavan, The Movie (2012) --> Sharivan NEXT (2014) --> Shaider NEXT (2014). They are not reboots / remakes, just sequels in movie format.

You don't have to watch the old series trilogy to understand the recent movies trilogy.

BTW, they are good shows, but talking about "space MH heroes" (space sheriff trilogy, Juspion and Spielban), I choose Juspion for many reasons: it's shorter and better produced.

Unfortunately, I feel people don't "like" Juspion at first sight because of the actor and his blackpower + zany style in the very beginning of the show. It's understandable, but also wrong.

Technically speaking, the show is pretty superior comparing to the Space Sheriffs in every single aspect: designs, effects, enemies, OST, violence and the plot has a really bigger ending.

Juspion aged well. Gavan? Not so much. Download the first episode of each one and take a look. 3 years gap (and $$$) that made a big difference.

The best way to gauge if they'll like Hikaru's Juspion is by seeing Bioman first, in-which he played a guest character with a thing for Jun.

I don't think there is anything particularly wrong with Juspion himself. He's fun in the beginning but understandably becomes more serious as the series progresses.

All that said though, I don't think Kurosaki is as charismatic a lead as Kenji Ohba in Gavan.

Me neither. About the character CONCEPT, I think it's acceptable because the show got deadlier menaces and shit got more serious.

About the character DESIGN, well... producers should have let his blackpower until the end, but jap kids - unlike BRs - didn't like. What a shame.

I don't think the hair style change was because anybody had a problem with the permed hair. I think it was mainly because that style of hair was considered "funny" and after a while it just didn't match the image the show was headed toward.

My only problem with it was that they didn't change the opening credits to match the changes in the show.

Kurosaki said that in 2002, m8. The show was supposed to follow the "space opera" style & "galactic tarzan" concept from beginning to end, and have 50 eps. However, the audience of the first 3 episodes was not higher than Shaider, so producers decide to stuck Juspion on Earth early, from ep.4. Same shit for the 3 types of hair styles and change of tone - all of them were tentatives to "correct" the show (and Kurosaki said he was a bit sad about that).

It's pretty usual to change things in long productions. Writers/producers/directors always have to modify the script.

But to me, no trouble about that. I love this shit the way it is.

I wonder if Kyuranger will have better luck with that (sans the "space tarzan" part, obviously), since it has an actual representative of a TV channel company as the producer. Still, it's a wonder that Jupion worked as well as it did when the changes got done organically.

Hmmm, it's possible, but hard to tell. Audience nowadays are too damn low, Bandai change Toei plots always (focus in toys) and even Saban put some cards on the table now (focus in int.market). I'll watch, but with zero hype.

No doubt about it. Some people still complain, but I think it's pointless: Juspion has great overall production and Toei opened the wallet for this show.

I know, but I'm still cautelous. Remember Go-Busters? High tech cockpits, MCs with motorbikes, robots in the middle of the city, modern suits, even use of "Megazords" and "It's morphing time" terms (!). Technically perfect to US viewers, but... Saban magically ignored it, giving dumb excuses ("hard to adapt"). Jesus fucking Christ...

That's why my hype is zero: old fags like me want X (and will be ignored for obvious reasons), actual child audience want Y (and don't give a fuck) and lazy Toei try to offer Z (and accepting the numbers). This logic don't fit anymore.

This is something we'll never know simply because both Toei and Saban have no intent to say. It's internal business.

However, we can easily feel it and imagine: nipo-american actors from PR as cameos in Sentais; japs from coreography leaving Toei to work with Saban for years; Japan airing PR shows and mocking PR in Akibaranger; the new PR movie reboot for the international market with darker tone (and approved by Toei); Toei marketing calling non-officially the next Gavan movie as "Toei Avengers" (pathetic BTW); comicons/comikets... Seriously, the list here is big.

And do not forget: obtain one of those IPs are expensive (350.000 to 500.000 US$ for each show in 1989-1990, just partial license, not full. I do not have any idea how much it costs today...). And Saban acquired back all Sentai licenses for non-JP markets for the next years, everything 100% exclusive.

Analysing market, long time contracts and ca$h involved, it would be strange if they are NOT "exchanging cards" among them.

Incidentally, Sailor Otaku is one of those people (and would likely jump at the first chance to do a Fushigi Comedy show). At the very least, Shushutorian or however it's spelt ought to be tackled at one point, since Kakuranger referenced it.

Wasn't the episode with Ultraman subbed at one point?

oh, on the subject of 80sish shows
the subbed version of Sukeban Deka II has some parts where the audio is replaced from the original with what sounds like modern recordings and production music
I assume they're covering up licensed music they couldn't get for the dvd.
Are there copies out there of the scenes as they were on tv?

Couldn't say. The only FC release I heard of is MBE's April Fools for a Poitrine episode.

Some BR guy translated the 6 pages of the magazine, giving tips about the 2 movies: Girls In Trouble (episode 0) and Gavan x Dekaranger (sequel).

Will be an evil group of 12 villains, each one from a different Metal Hero show (Mad Gallant from Juspion, Benikiba from Jiraiya, Hellvira from Spielban + another 9). Maybe they put some Dekaranger villain inside it.

Benikiba will appear in both movies, using her disguise ninjutsu to invade Gavan's ship and blow the fuck out the Dekarangers inside it.

During 1st movie, Hellvira will join forces with Benikiba to fight the Deka chicks.

During 2nd movie, Dekarangers will pursue Mad Gallant. Geki/new Gavan try to help, but his laser blade will be destroyed by Juspion's nemesis. Dekared will save him and old Gavan will appear to give a new sword (duh).

Juspion scene will probably be just a fast flashback to show the character to younger viewers.

>>15071089
Do you think they might throw in villains from Metalder, Jiban and Janperson? As for Rescue Police, I doubt there's any folks that are iconic enough beyond business suit Satan and Brian (who is really brainwashed).

About Police Rescue Trilogy, hard to know... They don't have the classic "evil organization" core: they use some random humans or robots. In the case of Winspector, maybe the T-800 rip off from ep.1 and ep.49, lol.

About Metalder, Jiban and Janperson, I think the best of them are Arthur, Madogarbo and Bill Goldy (all of them were already defeated, but who cares, right?).

>>15071149
>(all of them were already defeated, but who cares, right?)
There is precedence to this, since Bill Goldy got revived once anyways. Also, it's the best excuse to see more of Shun Sugata going full-on ham.

Almost impossibru: too similar to Mad Gallant and also used some parts of him.

They have to brainwash SolDozer and swap the extinguinshers for flamethrowers, turning him into 1 ton of cybernetic despair.

>>15071149
Solbrain does have a recurring human villain who pulls off some really fucked up schemes. He'll be showing up soon. But they would have to raise the dead, though it would not be so hard to do that when you have Satan

Truth. I have several Fushigi Comedy shows, most of them non-robot themed (Thutmose of the Nile, Poitrine) but there's others that I don't have that I like -- Robocon, Robomaru, and the two Kid Detective shows which are not on DVD from what I understand.

>>15071201
No, SolDozer is pure and innocent! He doesn't deserve this fate.

Although the only problem is whether Yuji Abe still does acting, if he possibly has to come back as Satan.

Even though Janperson came out before I was born, I still had fun watching it.
>mfw I realise there's a jacket mode
I just recently got into the Metal Heroes series, could anyone recommend me what to watch while I wait for Janperson?

>>15072562
Gavan (the most dated of the lot, but fun in the right mindset)
Juspion
Winspector
Metalder (although that gets a brief retool)

The latter is a more intense version of similar themes in Janperson, but with a less charismatic lead.

>>15072088
Joel and the bots might have sung it as a riff, but the forklift song is actually the theme song of Star Wolf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6qxA__mnE0. (Similarly the Sandy Frank Song from Time of the Apes is actually the theme song to Saru no Gundan) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEdjwxa8IWY

Mighty Jack was made ten years before Star Wolf. Maybe Sandy Frank lifted a track in the dubbing?

>This is something we'll never know simply because both Toei and Saban have no intent to say.
then you can't say it for sure.

>nipo-american actors from PR as cameos in Sentais
That was just yoshi having a trip to Japan, it's toei being cool about it, not a Saban mandate.

>mocking PR in Akibaranger
It doesn't mock PR at all. If you actually watched the episode and/or aren't delusional you woul'd know.

> the new PR movie reboot for the international market with darker tone (and approved by Toei)
..that's just a PR product

>Toei marketing calling non-officially the next Gavan movie as "Toei Avengers" (pathetic BTW); comicons/comikets
Saban doesn't own avengers.

>Seriously, the list here is big
Not really, the only examples of them working together are them sharing stuntmen and Japan airing PR, which only means they do some work together, but not that Saban has any sort of influence on Sentai's production.

>And do not forget: obtain one of those IPs are expensive (350.000 to 500.000 US$ for each show in 1989-1990, just partial license, not full. I do not have any idea how much it costs today...). And Saban acquired back all Sentai licenses for non-JP markets for the next years, everything 100% exclusive.
Toei is not Tsuburaya though, they have no interest on showing their toku outside Japan and a few asian countries. They didn't ask Saban to make PR, it was the other way around.

If you were trying to list countries that aired shows, I definitely remember that Winspector aired in Germany around '93 or '94 or something.
We never got any others as far as I know, though.

Just saw the first episode of Space Sheriff Gavan without previous knowledge of the Metal Heroes and I gotta say it looks like they invested a lot of money on it, every minute or so there's miniatures, explosions, some sort of visual fx or something flashy going on. With all of that said it's still amazing to see how hard the main actor carries everything and doesn't get overshadowed by all the madness going on, dude looks awesome in the fight scenes without the suit and plays it completely straight.

>>15073513
That's Kenji Ohba for you. He was JAC member, so he had a lot of experience in stunt combat.

Toei also really wanted to draw a lot of eyes to Gavan because it was meant to be a new series that they fully owned, unlike KR or Sentai which have Ishinomori's fingerprints on them.

>>15073533
Yeah I had to wiki him up cause he quite impressed me and it kinda makes sense he managed to look good considering he was a stunt double.

>If you were trying to list countries that aired shows...
That's the spirit. However, I must admit this kind of info is hard to confirm without help. Another problem: France, for example, aired Juspion, but only 5-6 episodes so it's not the same case of BR, who got all episodes. I'm still thinking which one can be the more fair: aired or fully aired.

If anons from each country could tell and CONFIRM, I'll be very grateful.

>>15073513
>it's still amazing to see how hard the main actor carries everything
Welcome to the 80's, place where chances were given to stunts, not only to agency actors.

Ohba (Gavan), Watari (Sharivan/Spielban) and Haruta (Mad Gallant) were pupils from JAC/JAE stunt school, hardcore shit (03:03, bellow).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhJzkHS52DQ

Even Morinaga (girl from Shaider), Kurosaki (Juspion), Tsutsui (Jiraiya), Kusaka (Jiban), Yamashita (Winspector) and many other "normal' actors tried to do a bit more in "civilian" mode. Suit actors only in non-closed shots and, obviously, danger scenes.

These guys are from another time.

>>15073764
>which one can be the more fair: aired or fully aired

I think it would just be easier and less cluttered if only the fully aired were included. Btw a small mistake at the end of question 1 in the Q & A, it should read "Be patient".

>hardcore shit
Yeah I was surprised when I saw the dude running around with explosions happening really close to him during the final fight in the Makku space cause it wasn't just the regular sparks flying but big ball of fire type explosions.

>>15073287
>This kind of non-stop conversation is pointless and the subject, after 3-4 lines, start to become boring as fuck to many people, anon.
>I have ADHD and no argument but I'll act like you're the one in the wrong.

Just say Saban has no influence on sentai production, its easier that way.

Hey I just wanna say Sailor you always make the best threads because you bring out the actual fans instead of the people just jacking off to the ladies and I love that about you.

>>15073287
I don't think big arsenal is a pro for B-Fighter. They have so much stuff that gets dumped or rarely used. My favorite is how they need to build the drill because Black Beet is immune to regular weapons, only to never have that problem again and never use the drill again. Then again, Blue Beet does lose the final battle so maybe Black Beet was immune to everything that wasn't cellular degeneration.

I'm not sure if I agree that Exceedraft is "low budget" as such, or lower than Solbrain/Winspector was, nor that the trilogy were light buddy cop shows. A great number of the episodes were pretty dark, maybe darker than the Space Sheriffs because the violence depicted was realistic and frequently possible. They were police procedurals with simplified plots and a superhero element aimed at a slightly younger audience than your average nighttime cop show. It was Exceedraft that had more action and stunts and somewhat less police procedure, but I gotta tell you, the fans for Exceed are some of the most devoted I've ever seen despite the fact that the end of the show is about the final battle between God and Satan. Maybe that's exactly WHY they love it so much, I don't know. But in any case, this looks really good.

You could add "Satan" to Exceedraft's theme, since he's the major villain.

Cool beans. My suggestions would be to correct "overral" to "overall" and possibly mention the lack of availability for Kabutack and Robotack.

The "Known As" sections seem a little bit pointless and it'd probably be better to replace it with international titles used by Toei. The bit about Janperson being the only 100% robotic MC is also factually wrong.

>>15073496
Not German, but can confirm. Winspector aired in Germany in it's entirety.

Yes, as you can imply more than one thing on a sentence. Nothing wrong with that at all.

>>Trying to "win" a "discussion" of subjective nature.

I think showing lots of leg and upskirt shots is the extent of it visually, which is about as much as you can expect out of a children's show.
