He pulled a whole ass sukiban show out of no budget. It’s like anti toku in the best way possible. How does every video make me love him more? Here’s to the endless 80’s.

@thehoodieguy1341 Ай бұрын

the context out of the context itself that he is actually producing a show with the 80s elements for the MV which is kinda insane

@Kskxjnsm00 Ай бұрын

What do you mean "anti toku"?

@MooseEatsBears Ай бұрын

@@Kskxjnsm00sukeban is a term meaning "delinquent girl". It usually refers to female gangs, but it is also a Japanese TV show and manga genre characterized by large female casts. On the other side tokusatsu, meaning "special effects" , often shortened to just toku, is a style of Japanese television show often featuring a largely male cast. Examples of a tokusatsu show would be Super Sentai or Power Rangers as it was known in the west, Ultraman, and Kamen Rider. Sadly, sukeban did not make quite as big a splash in the west, so it is very uncommon for westerners to have heard about many of the most popular sukeban media properties.

@Kskxjnsm00 Ай бұрын

@@MooseEatsBears Oh actually I like tokusatsu a lot (thank you though, it could be helpful) but I don't get how this is "anti" toku. Maybe they're to referring to the low-budget (not that low imo)? Idk some tokusatsu series weren't that big, it was all about costumes and eventually special effects (Kamen Rider was kind of low budget too, atleast the first series/episodes)

@MooseEatsBears Ай бұрын

@@Kskxjnsm00 I was under the impression that the "anti" was just the girl vs boy dynamic between sukeban and toku. Also you are quite welcome! =)
