Cool!

So happy to hear that the book "Tokusatsu: A Guide to Kaiju, Sentai, and Japanese Special Effects" is coming out in English! I think those who are passionate about reading this book should definitely pre-order it so they don't miss out on the chance to explore the history and development of Tokusatsu!

This seems like a book that every fan of tokusatsu should read at least once! Now accepting pre-orders!

I wonder if France V is mentioned in some capacity. If not, I hope they include it in a 2nd edition or a special edition later. :rock:

What aspects of Tokusatsu culture will Marvin Ringard and Romain Taszek's book 'Tokusatsu' explore?
