[GoldenXtreme]

Answered what I could, since I haven't been watching shows as their air lately!


Favorite New-to-You Show of 2024
Torn between Kaiketsu Zubat, which is perhaps the ultimate 70s tokusatsu, and Ultraman Mebius, which whipped me into a frothing at the mouth frenzy... and also got me crying like a baby. Zubat is absurd and funny and tragic and just constant fun. Mebius understood what makes Ultraman special in a way few other shows do, and had such a wonderful cast. Both are great in different ways!


Favorite Rewatch of 2024
I didn't finish it yet, but I've been rewatching Kamen Rider Fourze with a friend who has never seen it before. Always an infectiously joyful experience.


Favorite Suit Design
Even if I'm not watching it, I love those forms from Boonboomger where they just wear a jacket over their normal suit. It's funny... but also very cool.

Favorite Song
Got Boost? has entered my song rotation. I really enjoy the pop elements combined with the moodier segments of the song.

Favorite Piece of Merchandise
I still can't believe we got a Shaider Blu-ray in English!


The Onari Memorial Award for Single Worst Thing in Tokusatsu, 2024 Edition:
Yuka Motohashi dying. She was such a delight in Carranger, I miss her.

Most Anticipated Tokusatsu Project and/or Merch of 2025
I don't think it will come out next year, but I'm looking forward to getting more info on the next Godzilla film from the Minus One creator!
