And with that, I've reached the end of this year long project of checking out various different tokusatsu franchises outside of the Big Three.

I'm so glad that I decided to go forward with this project. From Gandine, to Dogengers, to Tekkouki Mizkazuki and beyond. Every new story I experienced this year has offered its own unique voice that I grew to love.

I feel like the timing couldn't've been better either. Not just for me, but the greater toku sphere too. Something I've noticed becoming more and more common in the circles I reside in is burnout. Whether it be Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, or Ultraman, many a fan is growing tired of the one show they consume.

Variety is the spice of life, as they say. Not happy with the various moral quandaries that Riders have been giving you? Why not give something more fun and simple like Dogengers a try? Think Sentai has gotten too kiddy and want something with some more edge? How about giving GARO a shot? Tokusatsu has grown so far and wide now that it's easier than ever to find something to your liking.

With that said, what's next for me then?

Well first and foremost, I'll be taking a break until the new year at the very least. But once that hits, well, I don't plan on just abandoning the idea of visiting unfamiliar toku -- There are sequels I need to watch, afterall! Though with that in mind, I do want to return to my roots of Toku Anime as well. I plan to juggle the two, since that seems like it'll be fun. No planned order or anything, just whatever I'm in the mood for at the time will likely be covered. So yeah, even I don't know what I'll cover next, haha!

But regardless, if you've been following along with any entry in this project for any amount of time, thank you, and I hope I helped you discover a new show that piqued your interests just as much as they did mine.

Until we meet again, friends!
