It’s not the series (much less the genre) at its best or brightest, but it IS probably it at its most iconic. Pure playground storytelling, the logic of a fantastic game of tag, and the imagery of Shocker kaijin exploding like a SpongeBob gag against a snowy Fuji is terrifically funny.

Kamen Rider vs Ambassador Hell (1972) is a definitive slice of the later period of the original show, Ishinomori’s stylish darkness and the inventive special effects long since traded for a cracktastic stuntacular of planes, trains, automobiles, and karate chops on horseback.

Outdated space-age exhibit of junkyard scrap turned into an Ed Wood stageshow and shadow play.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 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?

The monster roll call is the most precious fucking thing I’ve ever seen 😂

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

I think it’s cool Ultraman Leo has a sigil like the “INRI” inscriptions at the planet Golgotha crucifixion. Fun brushstroke worldbuilding, written language of the Planet of Light.
