I've been out of tokusatsu since about 2006 or so, and I'm just getting back into it. Was curious what the consensus picks are. I've heard amazing things about GAIM. Also, the few episodes I've seen of Ultraman X on CR have been fantastic.
Thoughts?
Just watch everything, it's not like you're busy curing cancer or reversing climate change.

Kamen Rider Den-O.
Kyoryuger, OOO, Fourze and Gaim were brilliant too.

Garo

I want what ever book that came out of.
What are some of the cooler toku monster suits out there?
>>15050785
Everything designed by Shinohara Tamotsu is top-notch.
>>15050348
Kamen Rider Den-O by far. It's got a great cast and the actor playing the lead is one of the best toku has ever had.

As a person that didn't watch Garo, I'd say
>KR
Gaim is the best probably, W, OOO, Fourze, Drive and Ex-Aid are worth checking out.
>Sentai
Shinkenger was the last top tier sentai. The worst is Ninninger, everything is worth watching though.
>Ultraman
Haven't watched Mebius if it counts, so I'll say X.
For Rider: Kamen Rider Gaim and Kamen Rider W.
For Garo: Garo, Garo: Makai Senki, Garo: Soukoku no Maryu
For Sentai: Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters
For Ultra: Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle, Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends, Ultraman Zero: The Revenge of Belial. Haven't seen X but it looks good, skip Ginga for sure.
If you want something super old school but modern, try BIMA Satria Garuda. The sequel's too toy-focused for me, but the first season feels like old Rider. Speaking of, a lot of older series have been subbed properly since you left. We have Kuuga and Agito and Stronger. Holy fucking shit I just realized that you weren't around for Kuuga besides the shit HK subs, go watch MCS' Kuuga.

What kind of dog is that??

It's also the darkest Kamen Rider ever. No meme.
>>15050348
W, Gaim, Gekiranger, Go-Busters, Makai Senki and Black Blood.
>>15050348
Akibaranger
>>15050348
My personal pick would probably be Ultraman Mebius. It had a few weak episodes here and there, but overall it gave me exactly everything I wanted.
>>15050348
Daimajin Kanon is, in my opinion, worth a look if you don't mind something that's driven more by emotion than by action.
>>15050348
>>15050348
Ultraman Nexus, Gaim, Ex-Aid, OOO, Amazons and Shinkenger.
