Archives for July 2014

under Garo

A new article at AnimeAnime.JP gives us some more insight into the upcoming Garo anime project Seal of Flames!

The titular Makai Knight this time around is Leon– a young man out to avenge the loss of his mother. Leon has been trained to use the Golden Armor by his mentor/guardian, Hermann.

Along the way Leon will also meet Makai Priestess Emma and a Prince named Alfonso– two more characters seeking revenge for past crimes. What events wind up linking these four souls? Only time will tell!

Seal of Flames will premiere later this year (exact date still unrevealed). Until then, stay tuned to TokuNation for further details & be sure to join in our ongoing Discussion Thread to share your thoughts on this upcoming new series!

 

The golden fang that cut through the darkness. I’ll succeed the fate of the flames!

under Kamen Rider, Ultraman

Super Hero Generations is a new Super Robot Wars esque tactical RPG from Bandai Namco Games that features Kamen Rider, Ultraman, and Gundam. The official webspite for the cross over title just launched.

Along with the web site, screenshots showcasing the gorgeous attack animations for Wizard, Ginga, and Black RX have been released.

What sets Super Hero Generations apart though is that the characters will appear in full proper proportioned bodies during the cutscenes and not Chibi styled as per Super Robot Wars tradition.

The game will be released on PS3 and PSVita consoles with both Special Sound Editions and regular retail editions available and will be released October 23rd 2014.

The Regular edition on Ps3 will cost 7,600 yen with the special sound edition being 10,450 yen while the Vita version will be a little cheaper at 6,640 for the Regular and 9,500 for the special edition.

under Power Rangers

Thanks to Fury Diamond of Rangercrew once again for digging around the bowels of the internet to find new press photos of Power Rangers Legacy Titanus! This upcoming figure is expected to be released in Fall 2014 as a Toys ‘R’ Us Exclusive with a suggested retail price upwards of $200. No official order pages have gone up yet but for now enjoy these nice new images of this upcoming behemoth.

As we draw closer and closer to it’s eventual release fans keep wondering when pre-orders actually will go up for Legacy Titanus. We’re still not sure of that, but chances are more information will be available for the figure at San Diego Comic-Con 2014. Remember that TokuNation will be on the show floor reporting back everything we see and hear for Power Rangers, Kamen Rider, Godzilla and more! So be on the lookout for Legacy Titanus updates as well!

under Super Sentai

Rounding out the number of giant robos and trains for Ressha Sentai ToQger, we have our very first look at the Hyper Ressha Tei Oh! This behemoth train is decked out in black with gold chrome, this giant can become either a Ressha on it’s own, it’s own robot, or become a mobile carrier for ToQ Oh called Hyper Ressha Terminal! Although Hyper is part of it’s name it doesn’t appear this mecha in any way accommodates the actual DX Hyper Ressha.

But it doesn’t end there! This new ressha can assume a combined robot mode that uses the forward section of all the main line resshas, ToQ Rainbow! We only have this single image to go off of for now, but for the time at least it doesn’t appears there’s anywhere for the second half of each Ressha to go. But this is definitely an imposing combination that’s sure to divide fans with it’s design.

under Kamen Rider, Super Sentai

Toei’s YouTube Channel has released a trailer for a Special Talk Party segment featuring nine cast members from Kamen Rider Gaim and Ressha Sentai ToQger.

This one hour special will be included on the upcoming Ressha Sentai ToQger Vs. Kamen Rider Gaim Vacation Combination Special DVD and Blu-ray releases.

The DVD and Blu-ray will go on sale August 8th.

Thanks to The Tokusatsu Network for reporting this news! Read the original story here.

under Power Rangers

After the recent string of sightings for the Q-Rex Megazord it seems the last Megazord from the Power Rangers Super Megaforce line is starting to hit store shelves! Spotted & purchase by AbareMax of Rangerboard at Target in South Gate, California, is the Turbo Falcon Megazord!

This last Megazord in the Super Megaforce line is based on the Gokaiger figure Machalcon. The BOA version of the toy seems to opt out of some features from the original in favor of it’s own unique Megazord mode!  When used with the Legendary Megazord you can create the Legendary RPM Megazord! Combine it with the Legendary AND Q-Rex Megazords to form the Ultimate Legendary Megazord!

With this sightings it’s officially time to be on the hunt Ranger Nation, be sure to check your local retailers now!

It’s time to talk some toku with the latest release from the Talkin Toku Podcast – Episode 013 “Why Not Zoidberg?”. Join Kickback, Den-O, special guest hosts baltmatrix and MonkieRanger, as well as two more “surprise” guests as they attempt to talk Kamen Rider Gaim, Power Rangers Dino Charge, and San Diego Comic Con 2014 news and rumors (which have all been debunked as of this morning, hooray!).

Find out what’s going on with all the Zoidberg talk as the gang discusses how to make Power Rangers Dino Charge the best series of all time. There’s an Arms Change missing from Kamen Rider Gaim – and the crew thinks Bill Cosby can fill that void. The gang spends a lot of time discussing the details of the plot of Kamen Rider Gaim leading up to and including Episode 35.

But with a grand total of six hosts on the show at once? You know it’s just going to fall apart. And fall apart it does – but in a way that guarantees you’ll be laughing. Be on the look out for a special video commemorating this episode to be released VERY soon! Take a listen! Stick around till the end for bloopers and things that we cut from the show but decided to include at the end.

under Kamen Rider, TokuNation, TokuNation Spotlights

It’s time once again for Let’s Watch Wednesdays to return to TokuNation! We’ve got another round of episodes with Kamen Rider Den-O!

Sakurai Yuuto. 2 men share this name, or rather 1 man from two times. One travels through the shadows of the past, the other has arrived in the present. With his own Ticket, his own belt, and his own train of time, the Zero Liner. Aided by the lovable Imagin Deneb, Yuuto has become Kamen Rider Zeronos! But what contract have they made? What powers lie in the Zeronos Cards? And what consequence does their use have? We only know one thing to start, he is fairly strong. 

Den-O Fun Fact #7

Ryutaros, the happy go lucky child like Imagin of the Den-Liner crew is next on our list. Ryutaros is based on the legend of Taro, the Dragon Boy. Taro is said to have been a gluttonous lazy child who lived with his grandmother as a young boy. He didn’t help his fellow farmers, or do his chores, he merely played and ate. But one day he found out from his grandmother that his long lost mother, thought to be dead, had actually been turned into a dragon many years before and now slumbered at the bottom of a lake. 

So Taro set out on a quest to find his long lost mother. Along his journey to find her Taro encounters all manner of vile creatures and demons of myth. At one point he’s given a cup of sake that once drunk, gives him the strength of 100 men. But only when he helps people, not when he’s being selfish. He learns to become a farmer, properly, and appreciate the land and the gifts it bears. By the end of his journey Taro become a self sacrificing hero of myth. Though Ryutaros has an overt dragon theme his carefree attitude and general laziness are more like the early version of Taro. But just as Taro one day became a selfless hero because of his journeys, Ryutaros will also.
