I made sure to leave it to you again this year, after all you always do such a great job of it
Best New Show of 2017:
Ultraman Geed, hands down. Between being a standalone show, the continuation of the Ultraman Zero/Belial story and an Ultraseven anniversary tribute this show hit every single note. The characters were fantastic, the suits were incredible and the visuals beautiful. I could gush about this show for days.
Best New-to-You Show of 2017:
Ultraseven. Holy crap now I know why this is considered one of the greatest tokusatsu shows of all time. It literally doesn't skip a beat. A show that both builds upon and bests the original Ultraman. A must-see for sure.
Best Rewatch of 2017:
I didn't rewatch all that much year, so I guess I'll say Kikaider REBOOT since I distinctly remember watching that.
Best Movie of 2017:
A toss up between Heisei Generations and Power Rangers. Both were very good amongst movies that were either just average or a let down.
Best Male Lead Character:
Riku Asakura. A tokusatsu fanboy who discards his birth to become a hero that never stands down. Just perfect.
Best Female Lead Character:
I am not deciding between Laiha and Moa. Do not make me choose. Both did more than enough to justify being considered lead characters.
Best Male Supporting Character:
Leito Igaguri. Hands down my favourite character in Geed that wasn't Belial. The perfect partner for Zero. Those bits with his family in the penultimate episode were so of the best the show had to offer.
Best Female Supporting Character:
Poppy Pipopapo. She stayed an all-important member of the Ex-Aid cast even if she was totally shafted when it came to Rider-appearances. Hopefully her V-cinema will make up for that.
Best Villain:
The living legend that is Kuroto Dan. A man that just went further and further off the deep end as time went on but kept getting better. I'm sure I'm in the minority saying that impact was lessened/cheapened when he returned and changed sides but he was still fun and it would have been a waste to see him stay dead. Can't wait to see him in FINAL and the V-Cinemas!
Best Returning Past Character:
Belial. A true villain through and through, and one of my all-time favourite tokusatsu characters.
Best Actor:
Tetsuya Iwanaga, just for bringing Kuroto Dan to life the way he did.
Best Actress:
Ruka Matsuda
Toku Crush of 2017:
Probably Ruka Matsuda again after seeing some of the pics that were in that recent Poppy book.
Best Suit Actor:
Yuya Nawata and Yuji Nakata, who were the Dangerous Zombie suit actors. They added so much character through their body language.
Best Writer:
All of the writers behind Geed.
Best Director:
Koichi Sakamoto. The man does some questionable things at times but I can't deny the great stuff he did with Geed. Same goes for all the other directors that worked on it.
Best Hero Suit Design:
Probably Geed Primitive. Solid Burning is nice too but can't really beat the standard version. The little Belial-style flairs add a lot to it.
Best Monster Suit Design:
Pendanium Zetton. They took Zetton, added in some King Joe and made it even better.
Best Weapon:
The Koma Ninja sword from Build. It's a fun little idea that came out really well as both a toy and in the show.
Best Vehicle/Mecha:
KyurenOh. The minipla was an amazing toy so I guess I'll go with that.
Best Fight Scene:
There are A LOT of fights in Geed that are a contender for this, but I think I'm going to stick with the final battle against Belial where Geed is able to summon all of his different forms.
Best Dramatic Scene:
The final fight between Geed and Belial where
Riku removes Rayblood in his mind and hugs the untainted Belial
. I don't think any scene has made me gasp as much as that.
Best Comedic Scene:
The scene in Geed where Zero is trying to go off to the rescue and Leito needs to stay at his meeting
Biggest "WTF did I just watch?" Moment:
The Kamen Rider Specter movie. The whole thing was one massive wtf. Still better than the show though.
Best Song:
People Game. Not quite what I expected to be my most listened to toku song of the year but there we go.
Best Piece of Merchandise:
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Genm Level X. Tamashii Nations NAILED it.
Biggest Surprise of 2017:
The new GARO anime being really good.
Biggest Disappointment of 2017:
There not being a Kyuranger vs Zyuohger next year.
The Onari Award for Single Worst Thing in 2017 Tokusatsu:
Power Rangers Ninja Steel. The cast deserve so much better than this.
