Some interesting news has come online for fans of the GARO franchise!
The first season of this exciting series (known simply as GARO) will be rebroadcast on TV and will be remastered to air in high-definition!
Originally airing in 2005, GARO tells the story of Makai Knight Kouga Saizema and his ongoing battle to protect humanity from the vicious Horrors that prey on innocents.
GARO: HD will begin airing on July 8 2016!
After months of speculation, it seems we finally have a name for the 18th Heisei Kamen Rider series!
A new trademark has been filed by Toei for the name Kamen Rider Ex-Aid!
Sadly, aside from the name we have no new information about this upcoming series (which presumably will begin once Kamen Rider Ghost has finished it’s run in October 2016.)
Feel free to join in our Ongoing Ex-Aid Discussion Thread to share your thoughts & fears about this new Rider!
If you’re a fan of the current Kamen Rider Amazons streaming Amazon Prime series, then hold onto your seat, 2 very exciting pieces of news have just broken.
First up, as reported on by the Hollywood Reporter & Deadline, Kamen Rider Amazons season 1 (along with a small host of other programs) will begin streaming internationally on Amazon’s Prime service! That means that US fans as well as those of many other nationalities will be able to stream the series legally outside of Japan.
Certainly not be outdone by this news, Amazon Japan has also just revealed plans for a 2nd season of Kamen Rider Amazons set for production and release in 2017! We would assume that it will also eventually be available on the US streaming side. In either case these are both truly exciting pieces of news. Stay tuned for updated!
The new magazine scans have finally given fans of Kamen Rider Ghost a look at the hero’s final form: Mugen Damashii! This elegant crystalline form is created when Takeru’s 7 closest friends unite their emotions to create the Mugen Eyecon– the most powerful Eyecon ever!
Mugen has 7 unique attacks powered by his creators’ emotions, one for each configuration of the GanGan Saber:
*Yorokobi (Joy) Stream – Naginata Mode
*Ikari (Anger) Slash – Dual Mode
*Isama (Valiant) Shoot – Gun Mode
*Tanoshii (Fun) Strike – Arrow Mode
*Kanashimi (Sadness) Break – Sword Mode
*Love Bomber – Hammer Mode
*Shinnen (Faith) Impact – Rifle Mode
Definitely some interesting possibilities ahead for Kamen Rider Ghosts’ twilight episodes! Stay tuned to TokuNation for all Ghostly news!
A new round of magazine scans has begun hitting the web, letting us see what lies ahead for Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger!
And this month, all the focus is on Zyuoh TheWorld! This upcoming new Ranger gets explored in fantastic detail, with special highlights including:
*TheWorlds’ three unique forms, Rhino (his “standard” configuration), Crocodile (which has tremendous attach strength) and Wolf (the fastest form).
*Zyuoh TheWorld can perform a surprise ability known as Great Instincts Awaken! This allows him to grow rhino horns, wolf claws AND a crocodile tail in place of one arm.
*We also get some early shots of Zyuoh TheWorlds’ Mecha, Tousai ZyuOh– a fearsome machine formed by combining Cube Wolf, Crocodile and Rhino.
Last but certainly not least, the scans have also revealed this new Rangers’ backstory- but we will keep that detail off the front page out of respect for fans who wish to go in unspoiled. Join in our ZyuohTheWorld Discussion Thread if you wish to know the whole truth!
And be sure to stay tuned to TokuNation for all Zyuohger News!
