Animated stuff can not be toku. That's just the way it is.

There was a Sailor Moon live-action series. That certainly qualifies as toku, but the anime not so much.

According to Wikipedia:
Quote:
Tokusatsu (特撮?) is a Japanese term that applies to any live-action film or television drama that usually features superheroes and makes considerable use of special effects (tokusatsu literally translates as "special filming" in Japanese).
Being live action is a prerequisite for something to be Tokusatsu. So while the live action Sailor Moon is indeed tokusatsu, any animated incarnation is not.

All the same though, Precure is animated and has no live action incarnation, thus it is not Tokusatsu.

The live-action part is kind of important to something being toku. Literally, anyway.

Brave Command Dagwon desperately wanted to be an anime tokusatsu. They even made some ads with real life costumes.

Precure isn't toku, it just has nice fight sequences someitimes that people liken to sentai or Rider.
Anyway no, anime isn't toku. Japan considers Star Trek Toku though; because, SFX. The new "Aquabats" thing is definitely very tokusatsu inspired from what I've seen of it, but yeah. |
