“Sir what should we do for the opening?”

“Put that man in the desert. Get him a horse too”

“But…this show isn’t even set in the desert”

Sad that being in tokusatsu is now seen as something to be embarrassed about because when you watch interviews with genre pioneers like Ose Koichi and Sonny Chiba and even the Showa Rider actors they have so much love and fondness for their roles

i do not at all mean this in a perjorative manner, but i do think it’s important to be able to consume a piece of media and go, “i’m not the audience for this” and be able to just walk away 

there doesn’t have to be something wrong or “problematic” about something for a person to not like it. personal taste is personal taste. but something not doing it for you doesn’t mean it automatically has to be wrong or bad. it’s just not for you.

“Is there anything you would like to say to young people who are discovering Gekko Kamen for the first time?”

Ose Koichi:
