Favorite first watches of 2025, a (more organized) 🧵:
Outdated space-age exhibit of junkyard scrap turned into an Ed Wood stageshow and shadow play. The Daleks are so eerie, it's spellbinding. Earth Under the Martians as atomic horror Blitz, echoing with squeaky screeches and chirps.

I haven’t rewatched Gamera the Brave (2006) in SO long. Really so underrated and so humbly special, somehow stitching Kaneko and Higuchi’s standard of immersive effects and apocalyptic monster brutality into a timely reinvention of the Showa series’ child choirs and kid heroes.

The kaiju rumbling on impeccable sets is so viciously done, and the focus on rural childhood in mourning is SO sweet. Really cute and charming kids, all carrying with their costar and friend. A beautiful love letter made almost sad as it stands as a last work of traditional tokusatsu and kaiju.

I think people kinda miss the forest for the trees when complaining about Anno changing Shocker from Third Reich survivors to a billionaire’s AI technofascist cult gone off the rails in Shin Kamen Rider.

When Japanese art and media can be, has been, and continues to be REALLY fucking terrible about imperial legacy and its relationship with the Third Reich, you just keep appreciating over and over how Ishinomori had his head on straight.
It’s great that the new anime which will most likely bring in new fans, shows the original Kamen Rider as the big influence on the main character.
The Kamen Rider who hates nazis the most, Takeshi Hongo.

I’m rewatching some of Return of Ultraman, and it’s so lovely what a high visual standard the show maintained. The crazy shit Akio Jissoji did in Ultraman and Ultraseven became not only an example of what could be done, it became the expectation and identity of Ultra’s look.

Fucking look at him. Look how hard he steals the show from the other two. Shameless. Slut.

i'm only 3 ep's into return of ultraman but so far hideki go is a joy as a protag. i feel like he contrasts really well with shin hayata and dan moroboshi. like instead of being this flawless hero, he can only stumble and learn through his mistakes, really sweet stuff

I love how much Hideki Go stands out alongside Shin Hayata’s cosmic partnership or Ultraseven’s Clark Kent situation with “Dan.” The human character is at the forefront as he struggles with his self-worth, both with and without the lens of being Ultraman. He’s actually a really sad, unconfident guy?

I admit my expertise with Android Kikaider begins and ends with Keita Amemiya’s Mechanical Violator Hakaider, but sometimes you just gotta watch a half-hour movie of 70s Ishinomori toku without context and without a clue just to feel something.

Took a curious peak at Himitsu Sentai Gorenger: The Bomb Hurricane (1976), the first ever Sentai movie. Haven’t the foggiest what’s going on, it being a special episode in the middle of an 84 episode season, but the miniatures, models, and vehicles are just SUBLIME. Pure eye candy and toy sorcery.

Really feels like Ishinomori playing with the legacy of Gerry Anderson’s Thunderbirds as much as any of the superheroics of Cyborg 009 and Kamen Rider. Just absolutely delicious TV toku effects work, stylish stuff as much as it’s all a little (wonderfully) baffling.

Ryuta Tasaki and Isao Kaneko played Shinji Higuchi’s game of angles and scale SO well. The set work and shooting of the special effects sequences in Gamera the Brave is all really phenomenal stuff, every inch of Nagoya wonderfully realized, lived in, and devastated.

Gamera the Brave’s opening is SO fucking classy. Nearly risks overshadowing the rest of the movie with this style and atmosphere, cheekily bidding farewell to the Kaneko trilogy before locking into a purely mid-aughts reinvention of Showa boys’ adventure. LOVE the gore.
