But the cutscene itself feels like something you'd see in those shows.

Right, but my point was it's origin. Kabuki isn't "tokusatsu" because there are no special effects and relies on the dances and poses in place of said special effects.

You're slightly mistaken in the regard of the reference.

Just because the origin of an action ages back to something such as Kabuki doesn't mean the posing in the reference was referring to it.

If you see a character in some random anime start pulling off dramatic poses, I'd be willing to put money down that the poses would be specifically be in reference to Super Sentai or a Henshin Hero series, despite the posing being a holdover from Kabuki.

Then again, this misunderstanding all stems from peoples vehement refusal to acknowledge that not all Tokusatsu are Henshin Heroes.

No I get the reference. Posing isn't just a Toku thing though. That's my point.

I've been playing All Kamen Rider Generations 2 on this PSP emulator and it has been extremely fun I love this game.

Final Fantasy XIII: Just got a Chocobo, so I have that song stuck in my head.

Took a break from Skyrim for a few days to see if it could rekindle my interest, but it didn't. Although I do like the adventure aspect, the fact that there is about four locations in the entire game looped endlessly and about the same number of mission types being looped over and over I find the game drags very quickly. And now Alduin has been defeated and the civil war is almost done, I basically have no story left to keep me going.

Finally convinced one of my New leaf neighbors to move away.
It bugs me that sometimes it doesn't matter if your given the option, even if you say "Yes you can move." they refuse to leave even when you want them too.
