	Tokusatsu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tokusatsu (Japanese: 特撮) is the Japanese term for special effects.

	tokusatsu-l
		In fact, HERCULES and XENA may be the closest American representation of tokusatsu because one of the key elements in tokusatsu is the extensive use of martial arts, special effects, costumes and weapons with theoretically magical (or even technological) powers.
		Tokusatsu, much like anime (Japanimation), is still a generally unknown and unrecognized form of entertainment outside of Asia, Europe and South America.
		However, some tokusatsu otaku would argue that designs of giant robots have regressed, the stories have become less COMPELLING and the kaijin (monster of the week) have hurt the credibility of, specifically, sentai as a high-end entertainment genre.

	[KFCC] Full Metal Tracksuit part 4 Column
		Tokusatsu means "special effects," and it generally describes a pretty large quantity of Japanese films and television programming, spanning from Godzilla films to shows like KIKAIDA and ULTRAMAN.
		The thing is, tokusatsu has changed so much over the years and there are many attempts now to target different demographics that these shows may not have had any success with previously.
		The important thing to remember is that tokusatsu is fun, and taking it way too seriously kind of kills that aspect of the experience.

	forcesofgood.com - THE CHOP SOCKY CREATURE FEATURE - Tokusatsu and Their Bastard Children
		Literally meaning “special effects,” Tokusatsu is the name applied to the many and varied Japanese action television shows that started as early as the late 1950s and continue to this very day.
		A generation of fans was born and the gospel of Japanese trash TV was spread.
		Don’t judge Japanese Tokusatsu by the fact that your kid brother was into the Power Rangers in the ‘90s and you’re too cool for that lowbrow crap.

	Tokusatsu - Japan Hero Access
		The reason Sentai, KR, Metal Heroes, etc are listed separately from tokusatsu is because they are big enough or popular enough subsets of tokusatsu to merit their own sections (IMO).
		The 100% right way to list them all would be under tokusatsu though (including Godzilla) as they are all subsets of it.
		Here's some info on "Tokusatsu" that August Ragone posted on th GK forums not too long ago.

		C’est ainsi qu’en 1978, la série Spider-Man tokusatsu (signifie “effets spéciaux” donc avec des acteurs et non en dessin animé) fût produite.
		Thus, in 1978, the Spider-Man tokusatsu (means “special effects” so with real live actors and not a cartoon) series went into production.
		Even though the suit is the same as Spider-Man, the storyline has very little to do with the conventional one, the one from the comic books and more recently, the Hollywood movies.

	[KFCC] TOEI TV TOKUSATSU Review
		These small and somewhat irreparable gripes aside, the only thing this disc needs to come with is either a microphone, a bottle of sake, and a lyric book in romanji; or conversely, a box of sugary cereal and pajamas with footies.
		As the title indicates, this is the first in a series, and it's a pretty entertaining primer to the sing-song world of tokusatsu themes.
		The following volumes will be a must-have once this one gets worn out, although the price of each makes this a selection that's more likely to land on the shelves of hardcore fans.

		Mesmo sem atualização há mais de um ano, a E-Tokusatsu continuava com um índice de acessos significativo, o que postergou a decisão de "encerrar" o site, pois ainda era uma fonte de consulta importante aos apreciadores das séries tokusatsu.
		Nesse tempo em que permanecemos afastados da internet, percebemos mudanças significativas na comunidade tokusatsu: a grande maioria dos sites da 1ª geração encontram-se desativados, porém, há um maior número de sites em desenvolvimento (a estes perseverantes, só nos resta parabenizar o esforço).
		Não, apenas não temos ao nosso dispor novos arquivos e o back-up do site no momento, que se encontra em nossa base (a uns 700km daqui), mas assim que pudermos, reativaremos a E-Tokusatsu.

	Henshin!Online
		In the early 1970s, I was a young Tokusatsu Fan who used to bother the staff of Fuji Television (which offered Japanese-language programming on the old KEMO-TV 20 in San Francisco), trying to get them to run one of the then-new Ultraman series, to no avail.
		Every Sunday night at 8:00 pm, I faithfully followed the adventures of "Kikaider: The Android of Justice" (as it was called on Fuji Television, who subtitled the show as well), through sickness, family gatherings, holidays at Grandma's house, etc. I never missed an episode.
		As a result, I became a fan of all of the Toei Tokusatsu Heroes, and the entire spectrum of Japanese superheroes at large.

I'll be on tonight at around 7:30 or 8:00 central time (got some character creation stuff to work on with Curt first for a table/dice game), but I'll be bringing on Rider Zap and Rider Cosmos (both in the early teens) for some Heroic Halloween fun!
		I was thinking that we could meet in Skyway City -- that's the appropriate level for early-teens characters, but since it's less popular than Steel Canyon, there won't be as many people fighting over Trick/Treat doors.
		If you look too much into your center, you may find yourself to be quite a bore.
