THE RETURNERS: Life is Short, Unless You’re Dead

Animation, Anime, Articles, Blog, Books, Comics, Culture, Fantasy, Featured, horror, monster, News, Sci-Fi, Toku, toku, tokusatsu, Uncategorized

If you're looking for something new to get into this year, and have a mind for supernatural mayhem with a twist, look no further than The Returners, the new book from up-and-coming author Lee T. Davis. Sporting heavy inspirations from the world of Japanese anime, live-action special effects, high-flying Hong Kong action, and Hollywood sci-fi, fantasy, and horror, this tale of otherworldly antiheroes is not to be missed. As the official blurb states, 2019's The Returners (not to be confused with an older, unrelated release of the same name) gives the spotlight to uncommon protagonists for the action/adventure genre. And that's especially true if we're only counting stories that aren't a prequel, a sequel, a midquel, any-other-kinda-quel, or anything based on an existing property to beg...

POWER RANGERS Company Saban Brands Shuts Down With 60 Job Losses

Blog, News, Power Rangers, Uncategorized

Saban Brands, current torchbearer for the Power Rangers franchise, is closing its doors this summer, with a series of layoffs that will leave 60 persons searching for new employment after the acquisition of their famous property by toy powerhouse Hasbro. It's uncertain whether any of Saban's current staff will transfer over to Hasbro's new initiative, but speculation continues to run rampant about the future of the Power Rangers banner. Los Angeles Business Journal marks July 1, 2018 as the official closing date for the company. Meanwhile, fans will have the premiere of Power Rangers Beast Morphers to look forward to in 2019.

POWER RANGERS BEAST MORPHERS Footage Screened: Licensing Expo 2018

Blog, Movies & TV, News, Power Rangers, Uncategorized

Power Rangers had a presence at the annual Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, featuring artwork and other pieces which showcased the long superhero franchise's legacy. Among them was a first look at the upcoming Power Rangers Beast Morphers. The video is comprised exclusively of footage from 2012's Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, the 36th installment in Toei's Japanese Super Sentai saga, from which Power Rangers derives its source material. A visitor's recording of the live video can be found here. Set in the future, a secret agency combines a newly discovered substance called “Morph-X” with animal DNA to create the Power Rangers Beast Morphers team. The Rangers must fight off an evil sentient computer virus bent on taking over the source of all Ranger power, the Morphin Grid itself. Fea...

Reflections on C2E2 2018

Blog, Conventions, Uncategorized

I used to think that every facet of my geekiness had to be kept separate from each other. I’ve had experiences of other geeks judging me, saying my actions or interests were “too geeky” for them, but that is a story for another time. This story is about conventions. Several years ago, I began to attend conventions. Specifically, the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2) and Anime Central (ACen), each for the first time in the same year, and I mistakenly thought that C2E2 was only for pop culture things like comics and books while ACen was only for anime. This year’s C2E2 proved me wrong. This year, I especially felt a strong growth of Japanese presence at the con, including the booths and panels. Yes, there have been Japanese fandom items at booths before, but nothing...

The POWER RANGERS: SHATTERED GRID Short is Here to Save Live-Action POWER RANGERS in 2018

Articles, Blog, Comics, Culture, Fantasy, Featured, Movies & TV, News, Power Rangers, Sci-Fi, Toku, toku, tokublogs, tokusatsu, Uncategorized, Video Update, Videos

What a time to be a Power Rangers fan. A certain number of years ago, the thought of more seasons of the show would have seemed farfetched, let alone the release of a feature-length film, a live streaming show, an addictive mobile game, and a successful line of ongoing comics to add on top of that. There's a lot to be thankful for in 2018, and the hits, it seems, just keep on coming. Now, as we rev up for the launch of the Power Rangers: Shattered Grid comic event, the main writer of the BOOM! Studios publication brings to us this live-action teaser short, starring none other than original Green Ranger Jason David Frank from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (and, like, fifty other seasons) as the villainous Lord Drakkon. Kyle Higgins has been putting in work these past couple years with B...

Another day, another crossover event in the land of cool guys who rarely look at explosions as their enemies pun all the way to fiery doom. This time, it's Uchuu Sentai Kyuranger who steps up to bat. The series about a crew of space-faring heroes fighting against the unscrupulous Jark Matter only recently ended its year-long run on television, but that's not stopping them from tearing it up with the best of them in the seemingly unending cycle of Toei Company's team-up extravaganzas. Interestingly enough, some members on this particular team already have some experience with their latest companions in intergalactic day-saving. It's Space Sheriff Gavan! And he's bringing his disparate team of tokusatsu randoms from the newly-created Space Squad along for the party, in the new Uchuu Sentai...

Two Tokusatsu Heroes ‘Transform’ Into Music Artists

Articles, Blog, Culture, Kamen Rider, Music Videos, News, Super Sentai, Toku, toku, tokublogs, tokusatsu, Uncategorized, Video Update

I so want to make a Kamen Rider Hibiki joke right now, but nothing comes to mind. Alas. Suda Masaki's star has risen considerably since his stint as the quirky second part of the half-and-half super-detective in 2009's Kamen Rider W. Leaping from one prestigious role in television and film to another, he's grown more popular than his talent agency deems appropriate for him to return to cameo in the Kamen Rider franchise that many of us know him best from. But as he continues to further branch out in the entertainment world, he gears up to release his new album, including some previously-released tracks as well as new pieces exclusively for this debut album. Here's Suda singing "Scenery I've Never Seen Before" for a commercial celebrating Japanese national soccer. https://youtu....
