Excited as Eric Lim and I have been to unveil this movie online, these last couple of weeks have been a pretty trying time, especially as we spent night after night after night speculating over the kind of reception that we would receive from the online audience, but stumbling across this review tonight has almost singlehandedly made the last year and a half we spent developing, shooting, and finishing out this movie worth it.

I definitely wouldn't go anywhere as far as saying we designed this movie from a 100% tokusatsu genre based perspective, as the film is ultimately a big mishmash of a whole bunch of pieces of movies I love that I've really wanted to see back in movies for a while, but from the beginning, we always wanted to make sure Secondary Education that could channel and live up to what's kept our memories of the huge imported Toku craze in America in the 90s so universally close to our hearts. I can't tell you how much it means to me that the members of this board, who might perhaps be the truest of Tokusatsu fans that you could find around, would show our team such support.

So thank you once again! I'll be lurking around this board here and there, feel absolutely free to ask me any question about the movie that you'd like, and I'll make sure I get back to you, either on here or in a PM or something.

LONG LIVE TOKUNATION!

Jon,

Even if you didn't mean to tap in to the tokusatsu genre, you managed to capture the essence and spirit of a true, honest tokusatsu idea. I can honestly say that watching your film was one of the most enjoyable 12 minutes I've had in regards to tokusatsu since we started this place nearly two years ago, and since I have been a fan of tokusatsu for many, many years before it.

Enjoy the praise - it is truly well deserved. Thank you and Eric both, for creating this film and for sharing it with us. Please pass along our praise for your work to everyone involved in the film. If you ever need to get the word out on anything in the future, please drop me a line anytime. I will be more than happy to use Tokunation as a platform for you and Eric.

Thanks again!
