I think Armor Hero is a good example of taking an obvious influence (Kamen Rider) and running with it.


I just checked out the series 1 version of Giant Saver - it was really cool! Obviously indebted to Sentai but very Chinese in both feel and design. One thing I've noticed from the few Chinese toku I've seen: HORRENDOUS pop music. I don't mean "pop music, it's lame", I mean it's really poorly executed music - like the producer let his teenage nephew do it on Garage Band and he and his buddies do their best but, damn, that puberty is making it really hard to sing in key! Besides that though, I liked it.
