[Guyver Spawn]

My gateway for me was Godzilla when I was two and half years old. I grew up with the Showa movies and would rewatch those a lot. I also grew up with Ultraman 1966, Power Rangers, Beetleborgs and Masked Rider. I do remember seeing bits of ZO and Five Riders vs. King Dark at a collector's shop in the mid 90's and I thought it looked cool. There was also the time when I saw the Gaoranger anniversary special RAW on VHS back in 2002. I didn't really watch Kamen Rider and Sentai until 2012. I mainly grew up on Godzilla and Ultraman. Kamen Rider was something I always knew about for years, but never fully watch it until I saw W in 2012.


What I love about Toku is the special effects. I love suits and miniatures. It's so cool seeing different type of creative monsters in Japanese special effects films and TV shows. Even if it has no monsters or superheroes, I still like seeing Japan doing things the practical way. That's what Toku is, Japanese special effects.
