Let’s Watch Wednesday – Thursday Edition – Jetman and Kamen Rider W!

Posted on August 30, 2012 at 12:12 pm by Chris under Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, TokuNation Spotlights

After a successful and fun trip down memory lane with Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, Dairanger, and Kamen Rider Ryuki, our Let’s Watch Wednesday begins a new (on a Thursday!) with two older Tokusatsu shows to watch – Chōjin Sentai Jetman and Kamen Rider W!

Chōjin Sentai Jetman[/u]
When the interdimensional organization Vyram attacks the Earth Ship developing superhero powers known as Birdonic Waves, the powers of the Birdonic Waves are sent spiraling to the Earth, being infused with four random civilians. It is up to Ryu Tendoh, the Red Hawk, to locate the four civilians and unite them together to stop Vyram, becoming Chōjin Sentai Jetman!

Kamen Rider W or Kamen Rider Double[/u]
From Wikipedia:
The Sonozaki Family sell mysterious devices resembling USB flash drives called Gaia Memories to criminals and other interested parties who use them to become monsters called Dopants, committing crimes with the police force powerless to stop them. After the death of his boss, the self-proclaimed hardboiled (actually half-boiled) detective Shotaro Hidari works with the mysterious Philip, who possesses the true Gaia Memory, to investigate crimes which involve Dopants. Using their own Gaia Memories, Shotaro and Philip use the Double Driver belts to transform and combine into Kamen Rider Double.

Get ready for a blast of nostalgia! This week we’re watching the following episodes!

Jetman[/u]
– 01 – Seek the Warriors

Let’s Watch Wednesdays – Kamen Rider Ryuki Ep: FINAL, 13 Riders And Dairanger Movie!

Posted on August 15, 2012 at 12:34 pm by Shin Densetsu under Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, TokuNation Spotlights

Welcome to another round of Let’s Watch Wednesdays at Tokunation.com! This week we discuss the following:

Both Episode FINAL and 13 Riders feature dramatically different takes on the Kamen Rider Ryuki storyline, with Episode FINAL taking place towards the end of the series(taking the place of the last few episodes), and 13 Riders featuring an ending that viewers had to vote for at the time of airing(amongst other differences).

In addition, a few new Riders are introduced such as Kamen Rider Femme, the only female rider in the Ryuki-verse, and Kamen Rider Verde! Does Asano Megumi have competition in the beauty department with Kirishima Miho? What connection does Asakura have with Miho?

Throughout the Kamen Rider Ryuki TV series we never saw Shinji really give into his dark side, yet we find the epitome of that in the form of Kamen Rider Ryuga from Episode FINAL! Discover a connection between Shinji and Yui from childhood and more! Click any of the links above to join or ongoing discussions!

A Moment of Pause – Remembering Those Lost on 07-20-12

Posted on July 21, 2012 at 3:47 pm by Chris under General Tokusatsu News, TokuNation Spotlights

I wanted to take a moment and deviate from the normal schedule of things here to reflect on the horrific and tragic events that transpired early Friday morning in Aurora, Colorado. There is a point to be made at the end of all this, so please bear with me.

Only 20 minutes in to what some people would consider their most anticipated movie of all time, Batman The Dark Knight Rises, an individual (I choose not to use his name) exitted and re-entered the theater and began opening fire. 71 people would be injured and 12 of them would die, others still in critical condition. This event hits hard at home for me. For those who don’t know more about me than just my screen name here, I have lived in Colorado for 22 years now. I was a junior in high school when the tragic events of the Columbine shootings happened. The Century 16 movie theater is a mere 15 minutes from where I call home. I even saw a movie in at that theater, in theater number nine where the shootings happened, earlier this year.

A dear close friend of mine (one of the hosts on the popular Reel Nerds podcast, a weekly podcast all about movies) lost a friend yesterday. He was celebrating his birthday with a midnight showing of his most anticipated movie. His wedding anniversary was soon to follow (one year). His last tweet before he died was how excited he was for this movie, and that it was going to be the best birthday ever.

What I’m trying to say is … for those of you who don’t live in Colorado, I can understand how distant this tragedy seems. But think about this – who goes to midnight showings of comic book super hero movies? You do. I do. Some of our best friends do. Our loved ones do. This tragedy could have happened any where, and any of us could have lost a loved one.

So please, at some point today, take a moment to pause. Maybe look up the list of the victims who have passed away and read their stories. Find out who they were. And pause to remember them.

Thank you for allowing me my soapbox moment. We now continue with all things Toku.
