Hi, I'm Storm (obviously). I had seen a few toku shows before, but last year I got super into Kamen Rider, having watched about 15 seasons, and then I started Sentai as well and I've seen about 10 of those. It's pretty much consumed my life but I feel like I've only barely started! My favorite Rider series is most definitely Build, and for Sentai I'd say it's basically a tie between Gokaiger and Timeranger. I plan to watch the Ultra series too as well.

Welcome Storm, I hope you enjoy your stay!

Ultraman is awesome, you will love it

Hello everybody,

I just want to introduce myself ! My name is Eklas and I'm a 36 years-old French tokusatsu fan (so please excuse me if there are grammar mistakes).

I'm obsessed with super sentai and metal heroes series since the beggining of the 90s (specially Bioman, Liveman, Gavan, Jiraiya and Winspector)and I've discovered Kamen Rider around 15 years ago with fansubs.

I also really like the work of Keita Amemiya, particularly the Garo series.

To be honest, I'm more accustomed with vintage series, but I try to keep myslef up to date with new tokusatsu series.

I'm a toy collector and I paint miniatures and figures (including some tokustatsu related) in my free time !

G'day, Eklas! Glad to see a fellow Metal Heroes/Liveman fan around.

Hello, nice to meet you. Hope you enjoy the site.

Welcome Eklas! I'm interested to read your thoughts on the more modern side of Tokusatsu, and maybe some pictures or your paintwork projects if you would like to share them

Toys and vintage toku, sounds like we'll get along. Welcome!

[Eklas]

Thanks for your warm welcome, guys !

I find it difficult to really appreciate the new sentai series firstly because the heroes are now much younger than me, so I have little more difficulties identifying with them, and also because the CGI effects are, in my opinion, truly awful and distracting.

The last sentai serie I really like was Kyuranger.

Stay young at heart and your body can age all it wants, you'll still be able to imagine yourself wearing bright colored full-body spandex suits

No way around that, yeah. It looks terrible. But at some point I just accepted it. Even Donbrothers with its weird black & pink ranger can't shock me no longer, not when the show is this much fun.

They might still have an anti spam-bot measurement in place, stick around and it will work eventually
