Ryukendo- Toku by Takara
 

Another unusual entry in the tokusatsu universe, featuring special agents armed for demon hunting:

Pretty enjoyable if anyone wants to give it a shot.

i've heard a ton of people talk about it but never got around to watching it

I love this show, and the two other tokusatsu's made by Takara. I plan to re-watch it soon because my viewing schedule for it was really fucked up.

isnt this show more of a parody than anything? thats the vibe that the first episode gives off

i love the fact that the show is still on youtube, and unlike toei, takara doesnt care because they dont make toys anymore is my theory

Another thing Ryukendo did different is that they had a set city the Madan Knights protected like Kamen Rider W. At first glance, the parallel with Kamen Rider Blade (Blue swordsman protagonist, Red gunslinger superior, organization supporting them, Black duel-edged weapon wielder who acts like a bad guy but is soft for one lady, etc...) made me think this was going to be bad(Oh and the Kamen Rider Knight look-alike), but in the end had fun with the show. The Key gimmick seemed like a cool thing, and the supporting characters were alright as well. In the end it left me with the impression of a high-budget local hero tv show done well. :)

It took me a long while to finish watching this series, but it was worth watching. While there is way too much filler, a lot of it being bad, the eps that progress the series' story are quite good. The final arc of the series was really fantastic.

I gave it a shot. So far so good! I just want to put it out there to whoever it is who is pimping this show on this forum. Your plan worked on somebody

if your looking to find subs of the show here it is http://tracker.tvnihon.com/index.php?category=59 thats to TV-nihon

I never heard of this before untill Shocker went on about it in another thread. And I ended up loving it. One thing though: You made the title to short. "RyuKenDo - Toku By Takara That is Awesomely Epic".
