I’d almost give it a half point for transformations because of the vampires shift. It is so much a part of the show and often used as a surprise reveal.

Nobody has suggested Fringe. I think it would get a similar score to Buffy.

First 3 seasons of Buffy and the first 2 of Angel are amazing. Everything after that is a steep drop off. The comics are just awful.

I got an A of course 😎

im really gonna enjoy this channel lol

The flash TV show is definitely a tokusatsu.

Teen wolf

It may not be a TV show, but van you do Alien Romulus? I'm Japanese, and this was my first horror movie in the theater, and it instantly stopped being scary as I noticed everything was practical, therefore, it's a tokusatsu!

fun! i second checking out xena

Mr. Pointy not a signature weapon?

Buffy literally has a toy made on her signiture stake, Mr Pointy, who was, in universe, a gift from a friend of hers who dies, and Buffy carries into battle for multiple seasons

Nice video 👍

The Aquabats Super Show is basically tokusatsu. It almost feels like a fusion of Super Sentai and Adam West's Batman but without the transformations.

Made me want to start watching the anime, it was on my list for a while HOPING FOR YOU TO GET A GOOD GRADE!

7:01 last season she got her scythe

Charmed 1998

This video so real

Back to back video essays is wild

spittin facts!!!!! 💯

Big wolf on campus, Galidor: defenders of the outer dimension, Mortal Kombat: Conquest and the ‘96-‘98 ‘The adventures of Sinbad’ show w/Zen Gesner (as the title character) and George Buza (as a sibling and crew mate of the title character) plus maybe The beast master (w/one Daniel Goddard as the protagonist) and the Marvel license but not at all X-men connected ‘Mutant X’

Oh this is something i always bring up everytime people say to me that Tokusatsu cant be a thing in this side of the planet, here let me give you some more ideas. -Supernatural -Dark Angel (this is a very good example because James Cameron did this series based on Battle Angel Alita since he wanted to test if an Alita live action movie/series can be possible) -Angel -Xena the Warrior Princess -The Renegade -The Bionic Man/Woman -Wonder Woman (1970) -The Flash -All of the Superman live action series/movies (including Smallville) -The Hulk (Lou Ferrigno) -Both US Spiderman Live Action series -Charmed

¡Mucha Lucia! could be an animated tokusatsu

What about Charmed or Smallville? These are the only two I could think of

Id love to agree but signature weapon was always a stake. Being that she was a vampire slayer. And vampire and stabbed thru the heart hand in hand with stake. Even with Dracula. So only gripe other than that spot on.

If you think Buffy The Vampire Slayer tokasatsu,is the 1995 Goosebumps TV Show on Fox Kids tokasatsu? I mean there is an "Ameri-Toku" show called Big Bad Beetleborgs,which had a haunted house with monsters in it and an episode that had a Goosebumps homage called "Fright Files",which makes it very similar to the 1995 Goosebumps TV series on Fox Kids,and Goosebumps has a lot of bizarre and flashy similar to the Power Rangers,so is Goosebumps tokusatsu? #rlstinesgoosebumps #slappythedummy #goosebumps2hauntedhalloween #viewerbewareyoureinforascare #goosebumpshorrorland #readingisascream #goosebumpsdisneyplus #goosebumps

The X-Files. Definitely Toku if not Toku-adjacent.

2:26 Okay, those two are just straight-up swing dancing . . .

Will it tokusatsu?

Grimm is definitely toku!

Giles = Zordon.

Uhhhh can we count ash vs evil dead?

Go Go Slayer!

Henshin sequences- not to spoil anything, but if you haven't gotten to the end of season 4, I would submit that the conclusion to Adam's story arc, is in essence a transformation, a level up, it's sort of spiritually akin to a Henshin sequence, albeit brief, not something that happens every show(or ever again), but I'd put that up for appeal.

Angel?

Supernatural?

Top 10 favorite episodes of Big Bad Beetleborgs

Have you seen Los Luchadores? 2001 Canadian/USA series about Mexican wrestler crime-fighters. All 16 episodes are on KZbin.

Stargate Sg-1 (Certainly doesn't fit all of them, but I feel like the Zat gun feels very Tokusatsu worthy and there's quite a bit of overlap with other aspects)

I hope they refer to Spider-man in the next movie as a “Messenger from Hell” 😂

You don't even know about Mr. Pointy or the Slayer Scyth? I had a replica! You'd also have to deduct one point for Buffy not completely sucking like Toku does!

This may count as spoilers but Buffy does have a signature weapon and i love it but she doesn't get it until the last season

Just a bit of advice for future videos: your voice isn't picking up on the mic that well (audio quality's fine: not noticing pops), so what you need to do is project your voice more. That'll make you sound a lot clearer

10:25: His name is Rupert Giles (with a G making a J sound).

Buffy x Kiva teamup WHEN

Alright I feel I need to point something out with the henshin sequence point: Buffy herself obviously doesn't change herself, or have some special slayer outfit, so no hero henshin sequences. BUT there are a ton of monster transformation sequences, straight out of any Japanese toku or Hollywood horror film. They had two different vampires on the Scooby Gang, and a werewolf for a time. Not to mention plenty of magical power up sequences, even if it didn't lead to and radical transformations most of the time. My point being, there's plenty of legit henshin sequences to work from, even if they'd fit better in a movie directed by John Landis.

Buffy Anne Summers. She saved the world. A lot. This show had all this and also incredible drama and writing that puts most other shows to shame.

I'm curious how _Xena: Warrior Princess_ would fare in the Tokusatsu test!

A lot of people made some great suggestions, here are mine: - SMALLVILLE. - The Highlander TV series - The live action Witchblade TV series. - Now here's a lesser known one, Super Force.
