Toku, or not?

Isn't all Japanese B-movies, Tokusatsu?

Tokusatsu = Special Effects Film... any and all, period.

I think Robo Geisha falls more under the J-Horror banner than tokusatsu. It has special effects, yes, but it's focus is more on the crazy amounts of fake gore it can splatter all over the walls.

We could always do a Power Rangers version of this, and have screen grabs from various episodes with the question, "Toei or Saban/Disney footage?". Haha

J-Horror is a form of Tokusatsu, Tokusatsu is not a film genre just the Japanese word for SFX Film. Check out a NewType: The Live magazine and you will get the idea.
