Kamen Rider Die found some old toku magazines from 2004
Technically, a friend of mine was cleaning out his house and found a few "Newtype - The Live" magazines from 2004 and figured I might want them. Boy, was he right. In the interest of sharing these treasures with the world, I'll be taking photos of the insides and posting them here. It'll be little chunks of each magazine, full sections at a time. It's going to be photos to start with, but if there's interest I can look into scanning these and making pdfs. (I probably will anyway, for preservation, but I'll speed it up if people want them. It's going to take a while!) I can take closer photos if anyone wants to try translating the text, which I'm sure we'd all appreciate.
(Please keep in mind that A: I'm not a professional photographer; and B: these magazines are very glossy. If you'd like more details on something, please let me know and I'll try to get clearer photos. I'm doing my best with no equipment!) (Also, I hope this is cool to post? No idea if the board has rules against this or not, so someone please let me know if I should stop posting these.) Let's start with Newtype - The Live 2004/01: https://challengerscomics.com/images.../IMG_3269a.JPG https://challengerscomics.com/images...1/IMG_3270.JPG https://challengerscomics.com/images...1/IMG_3271.JPG https://challengerscomics.com/images...1/IMG_3272.JPG https://challengerscomics.com/images...1/IMG_3273.JPG https://challengerscomics.com/images...1/IMG_3274.JPG https://challengerscomics.com/images...1/IMG_3275.JPG https://challengerscomics.com/images...1/IMG_3276.JPG https://challengerscomics.com/images...1/IMG_3277.JPG https://challengerscomics.com/images...1/IMG_3278.JPG https://challengerscomics.com/images...1/IMG_3279.JPG https://challengerscomics.com/images...1/IMG_3280.JPG https://challengerscomics.com/images...1/IMG_3281.JPG https://challengerscomics.com/images...1/IMG_3282.JPG https://challengerscomics.com/images...1/IMG_3283.JPG https://challengerscomics.com/images...1/IMG_3284.JPG |
Who's that bat-like kaijin (penultimate image of the first post)?

Ah yes, 2004. It was the year Toei gave us tokusatsu Sailor Moon, Dekaranger, and Kamen Rider Blade. Speaking of tokusatsu Sailor Moon:
- Miyuu Sawai who played Sailor Moon went on to play the wife of the green Kamen Rider Mage(played by Shingo Kawaguchi aka Kamen Rider Todoroki) and Master Pink in Ryusoulger - Chisaki Hama(currently Rika Izumi) who played Sailor Mercury went on to play Kouta/Kamen Rider Gaim's older sister in Kamen Rider Gaim - Joji Shibue who played Tuxedo Mask became Kamen Rider Ibuki the following year and Master Blue in Ryusoulger - Masaya Kikawada who played Motoki went on to play Takeshi Hongo/Kamen Rider Ichigo in the Kamen Rider The First and The Next movies, as well as Master Red in Ryusoulger - Akira Kubodera(RIP) who played the villain Kunzite later went on to play Girafa Undead in Kamen Rider Blade - Rina Koike who played Sailor Luna went on to be a regular in Kamen Rider Kiva and Ultraman Ginga S - Big time veteran actress Aya Sugimoto who played Queen Beryl went on to star as Dr. Maria S. Cranberry in the Kamen Rider W summer movie |
The Faiz Blaster remains one of my all time favorite Kamen Rider weapons. Just a super cool tech-y transformable weapon that suits the motif so well.
|
PGSM is probably my favourite out of those 3 shows if I'm honest, the Dark Mercury stuff especially and it's still the only version of Sailor Moon I've managed to actually finish although I am close with the original anime but I haven't even got round to watching an episode of that modern 2010s one!

PGSM was my first subbed Toku. No idea how I randomly ran into it. I know I found it when someone put it on youtube and didn't find out until a long time later where it came from and that I could find other tokus there. It wouldn't really get into toku until a bit later.

I’m half convinced that the page with all the Trinoids (the ones that look like deformed animals) was actually used in a movie as a catalogue of all the Trinoids on record (the bad guy was planning to revive the original one under his control)

You know this particular issue is old when Matrix Revolutions, Finding Nemo, Underworld, Bulletproof Monk, The Last Samurai, and Kill Bill are considered fresh movies. :lolol

Yo, those are awesome. I bought a hyper hobby magazine when I was in Japan, which has some similar content...but this is even better because of the era.

The first pages which refer to "Toys Collection" have some interesting figures I don't recognize. Purple, Red, and Yellow "robots" with animal transformations and armored heroes with the same color scheme below them. What is this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgndQfg0pAw The follow-up Justirizer was what made Kazuki Namioka aka Sid/Kamen Rider Sigurd a known name in the toku genre, and the final season Sazer X was where many familiar faces and voices appeared as heroes; two of them moving on to be Samurai Calibur in SSSS Gridman and Barizorg in Gokaiger, while the other two went on to be Ankh in Kamen Rider OOO and Ramirez/Kyoryu Cyan in Kyoryuger. |
I'm trying to make sense of all the older shows this thing reveals!
Every mention of Booska reminds me of the Halloween episode of R/B. Most of Zero's team, Ultimate Force Zero, originates from older heroes (though the page with most of their progenitors includes Triple-Fighter, which doesn't correspond exactly unless Saga is meant to be an oblique reference). Aztekizer looks like he's a ripoff of Akumaizer 3! Koseidon makes me wonder if Tsuburaya and Toei have had legal issues (cause "Kyoryu Sentai" is more synonymous with Zyuranger)! The Andro Melos photo looks like the heroes are surrounded by slightly modified, human-sized Ultra Kaiju! Shame they couldn't find what they needed for Mill Creek. Would really like Toho to re-release Gransazer for U.S. distribution! |

Ahhh ~ ! I was so happy to see that page with my Nao-chan! I've been supporting her as an idol/actor since, well, since Hurricanger came out, and it's just lovely seeing her here again too.
I super loved seeing these pages. I remember seeing scans back in the day of that Sailor Moon issue of Newtype. If you do scan them, I will definitely be grateful as it means I get to make myself new SM icons for Dreamwidth. :p |

And welcome to the boards! |

And also, haha, thank you for the welcome. I was here a long time ago, but, ah, well these magazines were current when I used to lurk here, I think. :p |

Some of the newer pages show screencaps of Ultraseven.
Below those are pages which depict Guyver. There is a photo below the Guyver one which shows one page with an illustration of a "Half Dan / Half Seven" face and the opposite page has a building with a three-prong structure in the back. What is this building? |
Alright! Time for Newtype - The Live 2004/03:

It's really nice to see the Anno Hideaki/Cutie Honey interview though. |

I remember years later when Higuchi Shinji had a temper-tantrum about people not really liking the Attack on Titan movies, and I always felt that it wasn't so much the audiences at fault, but that the weight of expectation and the bloated budgets for these big CGI filled movies that never looked that great anyway just crowded out the room for any real story. Ah, but regardless, thank you for posting this stuff! |
"COOL TEAM" is certainly how I'd describe SPD. :lol

Toshiaki Karasawa was the suit actor for Riderman in the Kamen Rider ZX one-shot special Susumu Terajima went on to play uncle Mario in Zyuohger Mitsuhiro Oikawa went on to be Kamen Rider 3 in the Kamen Rider 3 movie Tetsuji Tamayama was Tsukumaro/Gao Silver in Gaoranger Hiroyuki Miyasako went on to be the first voice actor for Ultraman Belial Mayumi Sada went on to be a Shocker member in the Kamen Rider The First movie Narrator Goro Naya was the Shocker leader in the original Kamen Rider show So March 2004. Faiz and Abaranger was done and Dekaranger and Kamen Rider Blade were the new cool kids. Dekaranger's first two episodes were just FUN. Deka Red going full Equilibrium and showing off his gunkata moves was just one of those scenes that you will rewind and watch for a good number of times. And Kamen Rider Blade confused everyone right off the bat with episode 1 and the shenanigans that followed. :lolol One of the things about Dekaranger is that their names are references to a certain type of tea and a mystery novelist.

I love these 555 scans. For as much as I complain about Inoue, 555 was a really good show, I feel. |

Conversely, I'm watching Kiva literally as we speak, and, well, meh. I mean, it's not dreadful, but in a lot of places it's Inoue trying to emulate Kobayashi, presumably because of the popularity of Den-o, and it doesn't suit him at all, which is a shame. tl;dr thumbs up for 555, it's a really solid story. |

https://challengerscomics.com/images...iz/faiz17b.png https://challengerscomics.com/images...iz/faiz17c.png It's such an interesting take on The Rider's Burden, you know? It's a guy saying I Hate Myself For Having To Do This But I'd Rather Hate Myself Than See People Get Killed. That's such an Inoue way to approach things like heroism, sacrifice, duty... I love it! I love it so much! |
I'll third that Faiz is Inoue's best work. Best Rider show, actually.
Those Yuka pictures are pretty great as well. |
