My Thoughts On "Gavan Infinity" Overall As A Possible Kickstarter For Project RED (Spoilers)

Image
Gavan Infinity has just concluded in 23 episodes. This reminds me of the time when Toei Ltd. released some old-school Toku shows that didn't last a year. Kamen Rider Amazon was cut short by 24 episodes, probably due to the violence. Several Kamen Rider shows didn't last a year during the Showa era. Dengitai JAKQ only lasted 35 episodes. Gavan Infinity ended this year -- the same year that Kenji Ohba died. It seems that Toei had planned the whole episode count of 23, and not because of my speculation that Ohba's death this year caused the cut. How does Gavan Infinity hold up? Honestly, I want to call it an experiment of sorts. The whole story separates itself from Uchu Keiji Gavan (thankfully) despite carrying the same title. The story tends to mix elements from previous works, such as: Monsters of the week are humans who use Emorgear, the same way that Dopants in Kamen Rider W and Zodiarts in Kamen Rider Fourze get defeated and revert back to human form instead. The use of ...

Will Toei's Project Red Ultimately Become Super Sentai's Replacement Or Not?

Source I don't know if I should be shocked that Cho Ucchu Kejiji Gavan Infinity isn't even lasting an entire year. I read the new hero series  Kaikuketsu Omegahorn will premiere next month . These are the details:  has been revealed that the second installment of the new tokusatsu series "PROJECT RED," titled "Awakening Hunter Omega Horn" (TV Asahi, Sundays at 9:30 AM), will begin airing on July 26th. The main visual has also been released, featuring a giant beast with roaring horns (a horned beast) and a red hero standing with a megaphone-like item in his hand, accompanied by the tagline "Raise your voice!" Furthermore, a teaser PV titled "-Awakening-" has also been released on the YouTube channel "PROJECT RED" and the Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club (TTFC). The video features a hero in a red cap awakening a giant red beast with large horns, and also includes shots of many more horned beasts lined up together. The protagonist is Shout...

Bioman's Magne-Warrior: A Prototype Sixth Ranger Before X-1 Mask From Maskman?

It's sad but true. Yes, actor Hikaru Kurosaki had passed away just recently at only 64 years old. I t's sad, but it's confirmed . His wife Yuko Asuka died on December 15, 2011 at only 56 years old. The two met during Hikaru's guest role as Shota Yamamori in Chodenshi Bioman . It was in episodes 35-36 when a prototype sixth ranger was created. But yeah, that was the Hirohisa Soda era . I called Soda's era as the head writer as the "era of experimentation". However, take note that episode 39 of Hikari Sentai Maskman titled "The Mysterious X-1 Mask" was written by Toshiki Inoue. I believe this is a concept worth revisiting. Episodes 35-36 have Doctor Man planning to create a super soldier. Mason (first half) and later Farah (second half) were in charge of gathering the Magne meteorites. It's also here that the Biomen run into Shota. The Biomen were looking for the cause of the strange fluctuations caused by meteorite rocks. Doctor Man wanted to ...
