I once heard someone mentioned how vastly different Go onger is too RPM so I had to see it for myself.

Very early 1994, my dad rented me Godzilla: King of the Monsters on VHS because I love Dinosaurs like Jurassic Park and Land Before Time at a very young age. I was two and almost three years old. This is one of oldest memories that I can remember at a very young age.
This was the VHS copy that I remember renting I also remember seeing Ultraseven on TNT before I got into Power Rangers and I later saw MMPR before Season 2 started in pre-school when I was three years old back in 1994. I later discover the original Ultraman on TV like a year or two later. I also grew up with other Toku movies on TV like TNT, Sci-Fi, other local TV networks and my local video stores. In 1998, I saw Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna: Warriors of the Star of Light fan subbed on a VHS copy that my Dad got me for my 7th birthday back in 1998 from a local Japanese collector's shop. That would be the first time I saw anything fully subbed in Japanese (Not counting bits of Guyver OVA I saw subbed back in 1996). For Kamen Rider, I remember going to a Japanese collector's shop and seeing Kamen Rider stuff there. I saw bits of Five Riders vs. King Dark back in 1996 or 1997. I didn't get into Kamen Rider until 2012, so better late than never. I always knew what Kamen Rider was growing up, but never saw it as a kid outside of Saban's Masked Rider on Fox Kids. For Super Sentai, I saw Japanese toys of Super Sentai and didn't know the Super Sentai name. I just thought Japan had Power Rangers as well and the show was just dubbed over in the US. In 2002, I saw Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai on a fan subbed VHS tape at my friend's house and I was like "WTF is this?!". I got into Super Sentai in 2012 as well along with Kamen Rider. I mostly grew up with Godzilla, Ultraman and other Japanese non Henshin heroes Toku movies as a kid and teenager.

I was really obsessed with Power Rangers when I was younger (really liked MMPR), and kept watching even when I was older. Every Power Ranger fan deep enough into the community knows about Super Sentai so I gave Kyoryuger a spin and here I am.

I admit that I felt like a bit like James Rolfe with Kamen Rider. If I saw the Showa stuff as a kid in the mid-late 90's, I would love it to death. I always have a nostalgic feel when I watch 60's and 70's Toku because the style of them are similar to the Showa Godzilla movies and the original Ultraman.
Not to mention, I try to watch Kabuto in 2009 and I could not get into it. I use to be a member of the Outskirt Battledome in 2009-2010 and I remember everyone there love Kamen Rider. They told me try out Kabuto first even though I kinda wanted to see the original first.

I never thought I would be watching tokusatsu honestly. Why would I want to watch some cheap kids show about people in dumb looking suits beating each other up. Then one of my friends was like "Hey, you should watch Kamen Rider W, it's about body-fusing, monster-fighting detectives" which was literally the most tempting description in the world for me. There was no going back after I had seen the light, what the hell did I even DO before tokusatsu?!

I love everyones stories! Alot of power rangers and godzilla. I forgot about Guyver! Spawn Guyver reminded me of that one. That was one of the few shows dubbed and released in USA. I rented it on vhs in the 90's. Never really thought about connecting it to Toku. |

Like every young boy I'd tune in every Saturday morning for a new episode of Power Rangers. For me it was Time Force. As I got older I drifted in and out of the fanbase every few years. I quit for awhile after Jungle Fury. Ironic considering if I held out for another year I would've seen my favorite season and I would've stayed a fan.
Anyways, cut to X years later and I find out PR is coming back. Wait... they folded to begin with? What the hey? I find out that there will be another season of PR coming but in the meantime I could watch the source material and see what PR might be in store for. I was gonna watch Shinkenger since Samurais seemed cool but Angelic Warriors peaked my interest so I opted instead to watch Goseiger. I did, then I watched Gokaiger and never looked back after that. Then 2014 happened. Sooo much Sentai in such a short timeframe. I managed to watch Goseiger, Gokaiger, Go-Onger, Dekaranger, Magiranger, Boukenger, and Go-Busters all within a 4-5 month time span. I was hooked. Then one day I realized I should probably try Kamen Rider. It's lasted for quite a while and it's billed with Sentai every Saturday morning so why not? I played the first Episode of Kamen Rider Fourze and (again) never looked back. Just like with Sentai, I made it through a bunch of seasons. Den-O to Gaim minus Kiva all within the course of 6 months amidst essays and other college related work.

Like a good chunk of us, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Big Bad Beetle Borgs were my intro to Toku. But those weren't my very first, they just got me hooked. My very FIRST Toku was the Ultraman Anime. And the subsequent Video Game. Then there was Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog.

Power Rangers, albeit I do not remeber which series I watched first. I remember being periphally aware of Wild force when I was younger. Probably Ninja Storm was my first but I remember really liking Dino Thinder.
