Just wondering if there were any anime fans also into tokusatsu and anime's influence on tokustatus and vice versa

Me, I've been a big fan of "Power Rangers" and Kamen Rider since the 90's. I'm really disapointed that Ultraman has failed twice on Telelvision. I've been missing out on a lot of stuff lately though.

But really, who hasn't seen a Godzilla movie?

(er, I didn't relize there was another topic on this that was locked so I'll make this anime related)

The later Kamen Rider series certainly seems to borrow a lot from anime making a bigger use of monster parters over the traditional bikes. In a reverse way after Bandai helped to shape the Super Sentai and Henshin sceen as we know it today, it was also reflected in anime later, after the sucess of Go Nagai's Bandai helped bring sentai into anime with probably the most familiar being Go Lion (i.e. Voltron) with combining robots and color coded uniforms. The craze officially starting with Denjiman in 1980 and then carrying over to Voltron in 1981.

And coming 2004, we finally start getting Japanese Godzilla on this side of the planet (Godzilla x Megaguiras & GMK in January/February, and the original 1954 film in the summer Cool ).
