One week from now Mahou Sentai Magiranger ends on Let’s Watch Wednesdays! But for now, let’s see how the Ozu family stands up to the remaining  Gods of Infershia!

Toad has been chosen to punish the surface. And the truth is finally revealed, Miyuki is his most prized possession in his collection of souls! But to retrieve her the Magirangers will have to play Toad’s deadly game. Meanwhile Blagel continues to guard N-ma’s soul while 3 Gods assault him. The spirit of the wolf is strong! The peaceful god Titan will refuse the power of N-Ma. And It’s time for the Ozu family to add one more to the fold as Magi Mother makes her triumphant return!

It’s your next to last chance to discuss all things Magiranger in our weekly discussion thread! Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to jump right in.

It seems that Toei isn’t quite ready to give up on the Metal Heroes brand quite yet.

Board member DrillBit found this quick teaser video from Toei’s official youtube channel that makes mention of crimes related to Makku, Madoo, and Fumma happening on planets across the galaxy. To those new to Metal Heroes: they’re the criminal organizations related to Gavan, Sharivan, and Shaider respectively.

With so little information given, it’s difficult to judge if this project is a new tv show, game, or movie. In the meantime, you can check out the video announcing the project below:

Should Toei go through with a new Metal Heroes project what would you want to see from it or done differently from the two Gavan movies? Discuss in the thread after the jump!

A quick behind-the-scenes shot taken on the set of Kamen Rider Gaim has given us our first real look at the Armored Rider’s Final Form: Kiwami Arms! 

While the photo is slightly obscured, the overall details of Kiwami Arms match previous descriptions and shadows- including the cape and crown.

UPDATED: 2nd Image added courtesy of HeroShock.

Kiwami Arms should be appearing on screen and in stores in the relatively near future!!

More details have emerged for the upcoming Kamen Rider Gaim summer movie!

According to actor Gaku Matsuda (best known as Armored Rider Knuckle), the Alternate-Universe summer movie is written by one Jin Haganeya a relative newcomer to the tokusatsu world. The summer movie will be directed by Osamu Kaneda a veteran of multiple toku works including “Let’s Go Kamen Rider and the “Space Sheriff Gavan” revival film.

Gaim’s summer adventure will premiere in theaters July 19th! Until then, be sure to join in our ongoing Discussion Thread to share your thoughts and fears on this new project!

The Stage shifts to the silver screen as Armored Rider Gaim’s movie is looming over the horizon, and we’ve finally gotten more details on the fruity warlord’s summer exploits via a recently held press conference!

Like most Rider movies that pre-dates Den-O, Gaim’s summer movie will in fact be set in an alternate universe and the dance theme of the show will be replaced by a soccer motif.

The details of the press conference can be seen in the youtube video below which includes a cool behind the scenes segment:

The boys of the Talkin Toku Podcast are back at it with the release of their 9th episode, Attack of the No No Cat (blame Tom for that one). Join your hosts Kickback (Chris, @rankal), Den-O (Jordan, @DenO_Tokunation), and Sentai Tamashii (Tom, @SoulInkChu) as they touch on a number of topics from last week in the world of tokusatsu!

Some of the hot topics discussed – their reactions on the international trailer for the new Godzilla movie, their thoughts on the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic from Free Comic Book Day and just why Saban Brands did nothing to promote it (as well as some behind-the-scenes knowledge in the world of comics from our very own Sentai Tamashii, who works a freelance colorist and has done jobs for Marvel, DC, IDW Publishing, and Archie Comics), some good old fashioned toy talk with Kachidoki Arms and S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Gold, and the usual show talk of Kamen Rider Gaim and Ressha Sentai ToQGer. But there’s even more stuff that’s discussed throughout the episode, including the No No Cat, spooky haunted microphones and/or alien contact, follow up on our last toy debate on Tamashii Nations and Super Sentai Figuarts, and so much more. Take a listen below!

Kickback also discusses the Fruit Henshin Contest and some details of the upcoming crossover episode with our good friends from the Ranger Command Power Hour Podcast scheduled for later this month. All the show details are below – do us a favor and click “Discuss” and share your thoughts! Till next time!

EDIT: Turns out this was a piece of fan work. Oh well, we’ll see you when the real news breaks later folks!

It appears we may have our first behind the scenes look at Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms! The details are still sketchy on this image, but it was posted by user Poraemon of the HJU forums.  Though this is just a shot of the helmet it’s certainly interesting. The latest teaser image of this form  is also shown next to it for comparison.

Feel free to speculate away on the validity of this image as we attempt to confirm it!
