I haven’t watched SHTZ yet, but I always love Net Movies and now want to see it *badly*.

Another Net Movie thing that always stuck with me were the W ones with the drawing contests, mostly because of Ryu’s actor being so comically bad at drawing and then Shotaro’s actor meanwhile is all “Yeah, I wanted to be a mangaka when I was a kid.”

I love Net Movies, okay? I would be absolutely ecstatic to see that format revived.

Those ones in particular are great, because they're filmed in a sort of... talk show type of way rather than fiction, and the actors' actual personas are clearly jumping out of their characters? It's such an interesting little gap between non-fiction and fiction

Honestly? Yeah. Alot of my favorite Net Movies were the ones where the cast was just kinda hanging out and doing something fun. Like the art contest in W or the quiz show in OOO. Fun stuff!

Literally anything I know about Showa Riders is from the Fourze game show Net-Movies, as the entire cast competed in Showa trivia contests. All of the Fourze stuff is as addictively fun as the series itself, but those (very long!) game show installments were an absolute blast. This fun mix of folks with knowledge (JK), lucky guessers (Gentarou), and everyone else trying to figure out why Showa was so Showa... I love those game shows.

Where on earth are you guys watching the Super Hero Taisen Z net movies? I can't find them anywhere!

TV-Nihon's got you covered. It's in their Wizard section.

Assuming I'm thinking of the same ones as everyone else, TV-Nihon has them all. They're in the Taisen Z Wizard batch.

EDIT: I was almost as excited to share this news as DreamSword was!

Am I too late to use this thread as yet another opportunity to gush about musicals?!

Gosh, you guys, every time I watch something like this, I get chills.

Your never too late to gush about toku. And yeah more musical in toku is always great because it lets the actors and composer to flex thier muscles.

Hahah, thank you, I absolutely agree. I love seeing productions like this, it just absolutely inspires me.
