Linkara of Atop The Fourth Wall is following up his latest History Of Power Rangers video (which covered Once & Always and Cosmic Fury) with a third video on Gokaiger.
That price is ludicrous. Does it even include the movies? The little interview promos for each episode? Commercials? Any special features at all?
Not sure I would even ever pay that for W.
It seems to be just the straight up episodes, from the TV masters (so SHT intros, sponsor bumps after intro and preview, and movie promo spots)
I am guessing this is Toei being, well, Toei.

I would pay that for W if it had all the movies and a bonus or two
Not gonna pay that for Geats though, especially since I just watched it, I’m not going to rewatch it already. Which feels bad because I want to support this stuff being brought over

Still cheaper than the Japanese BDs:
[my currency converter I’m using gives $527, plus change)
Encoder person here. Source files were 1920x1080p 24fps. “Broadcast masters” means the files that are provided to broadcasters, rather than the broadcast itself
…
Quality of the source ProRes files is identical. Biggest difference is the inclusion of various promos, and the little text blurbs on the sponsor screens. (No actual sponsors, as that’s added by the broadcaster)
I love how oyu can kind of tell the Turbo production staff have almost no idea what to do with Carrange’s complete and utter disregard for pretense and serious drama and somehow still preserve the more serious tone they wanted following Zeo.
“JUST KEEP THE SERIOUS GUITAR RIFFS GOING. THIS IS DANGER, NOT A LIVE ACTION GAG MANGA”
Also, interesting distinction between mid 90s view of cops in America and Japan between the adapted Blue Senturion and original Signalman, with Blue as this stoic and by the book type, while Signalman’s by the book nature is fodder for pointing out how in over his head he is in dealing with Bowzock and how he categorically does not understand the culture around him.

Any of y'all watched Gunhed? Wikipedia says it's a Tokusatsu but I'm not sure why lol. Kotobukiya made a model kit of the titular tank a few years back (which I finally bought after watching the movie!) so I'd been curious about it for a while. It's cool as hell. Bilingual Japanese n' English action sci fi from 1989. Some of the coolest sets I've ever seen. They blatantly steal shit like sound effects from Aliens and Terminator. The mcguffin is a rare material named Texmexium and the tank runs out of fuel and gets topped up with whiskey at one point. 10/10.
It's not available to stream anywhere as far as I can tell, but it is up on the Internet Archive.

It’s so good, and I’d say its definitely Toku, just not Henshin hero or Kaiju
Seconding that if you can get ahold of it somehow, definitely go watch it. There’s also a manga version by Kia Asamiya but the only translation I know of is what seems to be an English second language translation that’s pretty rough.
ALSO Yeah, I really really would love if more movies adopted that multilingual aspect; it blends them so well and you actually do feel like “oh yeah, these characters do just speak to each other in their most comfortable language, and understand each other just fine.”
Looks like for the Don Vs, they’re gonna be going back to
Hakabaka/The Land of the Dead?
Seems to be doing some Isekai tropes and I wonder if that’s also how they get Sonoi back?
Pretty much according to a translated small summary...
...at least in regards to the location. The conflict comes about because both teams are clueless on how they got there and begin squabbling over which side is responsible for their predicament.

I'm into the final arc of Geats
and Keiwa's heel turn fucking sucks. I hate this! Have him at least act a little conflicted and upset about things. He's gone stone cold sociopath, even worse than when Buffa was acting like a ruthless god king. Hoping it turns out he's being mind controlled by Kekera or something. :I
Also what's up with this new Jamato guy with the colorful lines on his face? I do not recall how / when he was introduced! Did he just come with Geats' new world?

Oh shit, he Clark Kent'd me!
now I remember - he found the Gardener's lair, grew a new kinda Jamato and ate it, right?

Yeah. I didn't recognize him when he first showed up either.
Toku thread, I recently remembered a toy that I had growing up that was almost certainly a toku toy that was imported and sold under some generic label. It was fairly large, probably an 8 inch action figure type, and it was black and white, with these articulated circular shoulder armor pieces that had "police" printed on it. There might have been police lights a la Patlabor. He also had a somewhat futuristic take on a police revolver. Seems like it was probably a less popular toku show, not too far off from something like Metal Heroes. Anyone recognize any of this?

You might be talking about the Power Force toy line, Dennou Keisatsu Cybercop is the original name in Japan.
