GoLion follows the format that most Super Robot Anime have. Getter Robo did the whole giant robots combine into one long before Super Sentai did. Otherwise we can list 90% of mecha as Toku style anime. Not to mention Toei also created GoLion and GoLion air around the same time as Sun Vulcan which had the first combining Sentai robot. Sun Vulcan air nearly a month before GoLion in Japan.

Another anime I found is called Jushin Liger. From the looks of it, it looks like a Toku type of anime. It's from Go Nagai, the creator of Mazinger Z, Devilman, Cutie Honey and co-created Getter Robo.
Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball also did a Henshin type of superhero named "Cashman" Sadly neither Jushin Liger and Cashman have subs. Maybe Discotek Media or Madien Japan (The other part of Sentai Filmworks) will release them in English one day.

Yup. Which is why "toku-styled anime" is such a redundant phrase.

Another title that I would recommend to Toku fans is Sadamitsu the Destroyer. Sadly people have forgotten about this title
Of course there is Neon Genesis Evangelion, Anno did said he was inspired by Ultraman for Eva. There is a mecha that is a homage to Jet Jaguar in it too. |

Tokusatsu and anime are intrinsically related.
Outside of America(and varies even in america) genres overlap and things aren't as clear cut as one or the other. They inspire each other and mutually grow drawing off of each other. For example, how early live action inspired anime, and how early anime inspired live action. The back and forth that takes from Ultraman and Astroboy on forward. Whether that's 8 man(the original inspiration for Robocop, as well as influenced much of the robo detectives themselves that eventually led to all being the inspiration for Dekaranger and more), Concrete Revolutio that's all genres mixed into one world with nods from all over, to even how Cutie Honey helped shape much of what became the magical girl genre too and the evolving henshin of various hero transformations too. Inspiration draws for flavors or story types all mutually grow off of each other based on what influences the creators or stuck out. The creators of yesterday had their inspiration draws and inspired others, which created new inspiration draws for the next generation, and repeat. So Toku and Anime itself is mutually growing as each grows, same as how Manga is impacted by both too. Lots of anime is toku inspired, and in many ways, lots of modern toku is anime inspired. Same as the newest literary areas are inspired by all media too. (Birdy the mighty, Scryed, and the list can go on and on for days.) But more directly, it depends on a work by work basis, but what inspired works, and how it's influenced does greatly vary, whether it's an anime about the creation of local hero stage plays, or a yoyo detective as a live work. It's best not to look at it as an either or, and more as all one media with the mediums themselves varying in how it celebrates different genre cues. Because the line of live to animated is slowly being erased more and more, while the genres themselves are growing forward testing what's possible and creating new possibilities. As the saying goes "It's only impossible until someone makes it possible." So the more you view it as an either or, the more you miss how it's all the same and shares similarities. Cues have been taken back and forth whether it's the newer push of animating a kaiju like it's someone in a suit, or if it's the more colorful and fluid fighting we've seen grown in toku from the likes of Garo, gekiranger, Ultraman Next, and similar. At the end of the day, it's all about what tells the best story, and has the best visual play to it. Though there is much anime that celebrates toku, there are also plenty of toku that also celebrates anime, and it varies work to work. Like even Build you can tell draws on much of anime scifi tropes while paying homage to its own toku roots, same as anime itself often draws on the cultural flavors toku itself has bred into it for creative draws. Elements are everywhere in both mediums and have been since the 60s and 70s. Take for example even Densha Otoko itself that was heavily the inspiration for large chunks of Den-O. Or for that matter, how Black Butler is heavily drawn on for Zi-O. Media isn't an either or per medium. The genres mutually influence each other. Like the upcoming Dragon Knight Sentai is likely heavily inspired by the growing trend of shows like SAO and similar too and how to tell an original story from those inspiration draws to give it a new spin as much as Den-O added a new spin to the concepts Densha Otoko had built into it. And of course the wide amount of Rider and Sentai jokes and references across anime for decades, whether it's the Ginyu force, or many others, even Future Diary worked in references because of the cultural significance of hero programs and the impact it has on youth. But as others pointed out, the more accurate term is "henshin hero". Or in some cases, powered armor heroes. Even things like Agito with G3 were heavily influenced by anime. G3 itself is very much reminiscent of the Hardsuits in BGC, with how he has to suit up in a truck. Which is also a heavy inspiration from Winspector and similar too. Or the armor up sequences that are evolving in America with Ironman. Tokusatsu itself is more only a term for effects types. The genres it covers can be wide ranging and aren't limited to only what we use the term for in covering "Rider/sentai like shows". In anime, or other regions it's much more wide ranging of genre types of subsets of Horror, Scifi, or Fantasy. It all depends on the story or what's trying to be conveyed for what's used. Though much is also celebratory of areas too as how it's such a cultural phenomenon in Japan itself. Last edited by Librarian; 11-29-2018 at 10:16 PM.. |
