And now, after much delay, I am now pleased to be giving you all my thoughts on the Shin Ultraman toys, specifically, the ones I own. Well, I say […]

On May 13th, 2022, Shin Ultraman was released in Japanese theatres to a positive reception. The film, directed by Shinji Higuchi and produced by Hideaki Anno, is a modern reimagining of the iconic 1966 Ultraman TV series.

Ultraman Decker Finale: Journey to Beyond is streaming on Tsuburaya Imagination in Japan, and is available for rent […]
Hello, and welcome back to the Toku Review Round-up! As we get closer and closer to the end of the year, Tokusatsu TV never stops, bringing with it more clashing swords, ‘crystalians’, corporate restructuring and plenty more exciting things! The currently airing Ultraman Z, Mashin Sentai Kiramager and Kamen Rider Saber definitely aren’t slowing down […]
Teamwork is a theme that is pervasive throughout tokusatsu, and in 2020, the genre seems practically synonymous with this idea, with all the popular shows of the year regularly highlighting the importance of trusting others and working together. It’s certainly nothing new, but I think it’s dominated the thematic layers of Kiramager, Kamen Rider and […]
If there’s anything this current lineup of Tokusatsu shows (and reviewing them fortnightly) has taught me, it’s that a ‘good vibe’ can carry a tokusatsu show pretty far. As I mentioned in last week’s edition of the review round up, Kamen Rider’s Saber has done a lot to keep itself charming, even when I foresee […]
It’s that time again, we’re reviewing more episodes of Tokusatsu TV! As always, we’ve had another fortnight of explosive and awe-inspiring action in Kiramager, Ultraman Z and Kamen Rider Saber. Plots are moving at a clip, and events are coalescing in various dramatic and interesting ways! Kamen Rider Saber – Episodes 3 & 4 As […]
Welcome back to the Toku-Review Round-up! It’s been another interesting fortnight of Tokusatsu TV with the debut of Kamen Rider Saber, and the continuation of the amazing Ultraman Z and Mashin Sentai Kiramager. I think it’s fair to say expectations are high for all of these shows at this point – Z and Kiramager because […]
Here we are again, after another eventful fortnight. Just as the earth keeps turning and 2020 continues to be the worst thing ever, we were once again treated to more kaiju-crushing outings in Ultraman Z, sparkling adventures in Mashin Sentai Kiramager, and the beginning of the end in Kamen Rider Zero-One. I can always count […]
Hello, and welcome to another edition of Toku Review Round-Up! Some interesting stuff has been happening in the world of tokusatsu over the past few weeks, such as the reveal of Kamen Rider Saber, the new series featuring a sword & book wielding hero that will succeed Zero-One in about a month’s time. There’s things […]
