The problem is that people (Including many here) confuse Toku with "Henshin/Transforming Hero"

As long as it's a live action work that makes heavy use of special effects in some way (Not just CG, mind you), it's Toku.

No one has to scream "HENSHIN!" for it to qualify as Toku, which is why it peeved me when Den-O (The admin, not the show) suddenly declared the Iron Man movies as "Non-Toku" just because they're not Japanese men in spandex.

Toku is a medium that encompasses many genres (Man of Steel is a Superhero flick, while Pacific Rim is a giant robot/kaiju movie, but they're both Tokusatsu).

(And no, I'm not railing or ranting against you, Locke. I'm just trying to make it clear for everyone that Toku is more than just Ultraman, Sentai/PR, Kamen Rider, and Godzilla)

Fair enough, stand me corrected on both counts then!

Minus the awkward Power Rangers like 'they aren't dead they are just sleeping' business episode 27 of Fourze was a lot of fun. Cancer is probably the most competent villain yet, even if I haven't a fucking clue what any of his puns actually mean. And yeah those Supernova forms don't look any better....

Finding out about Gen's parents, and at such a young age for him, really added to the huge pool of respect I already have for him. This stuff was great.
