RESUMEN Las producciones Tokusatsu japonesas cuentan con características que las hacen diferentes a otros tipos de contenidos, sin embargo, son poco conocidas en la cultura occidental. Desde la década de los 90, el Tokusatsu llega a América con la adaptación de la franquicia Super Sentai. Bajo el nombre de Power Rangers, este tipo de producciones lograron tener éxito comercial en occidente. Ello permitió un boom de producciones occidentales con características Tokusatsu con el objetivo de éxito comercial. Hasta hoy, mucha gente desconoce el origen de este tipo de contenido. Esta investigación busca contribuir en la difusión del Tokusatsu mediante el análisis de la forma en la que dos películas, Pacific Rim (2013) y Power Rangers (2014) adaptan las características del Tokusatsu en su propuesta audiovisual. Gracias al estudio cualitativo mediante entrevistas a Lissett Ponce, difusora del Tokusatsu en Perú, y a Aldo Salvini, director de cine, se pudo reafirmar características presentes en las producciones Tokusatsu. Además, el uso de la escala de Likert permite analizar cómo las características Tokusatsu son adaptadas en dichas películas a través de similitudes y diferencias con una producción Tokusatsu como Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger (2014). Pudimos concluir en que existe un proceso de hibridación cultural en la adaptación del Tokusatsu japonés en las películas analizadas. Pacific Rim presenta un proceso de adaptación intercultural de dichas características. Por el otro lado, Power Rangers presenta un proceso de adaptación transcultural. Además, se propone la existencia de modelos de adaptación en base los fenómenos de hibridación cultural dichas películas. Palabras clave: Tokusatsu, Industria Cultural, Adaptación, Globalización, Pacific Rim, Power Rangers, Interculturalidad, Transculturalidad. 4 Henshin: Tokusatsu´s visual, narrative and cultural elements adapted in mainstream not oriental audiovisual productions: Power Rangers and Pacific Rim. ABSTRACT Tokusatsu productions have features that make them different tan other types of contents, but they are not well known in occidental culture. Since 90´s decade, Tokusatsu arrives to America with the adaptation of the Super Sentai franchise. With the name Power Rangers, this type of productions got comercial success in occident. That allowed a large amount of productions to be made with this feature with the comercial success objective. Until today, lots of peole is not aware about the origin of this type of content. This research wants to contribute to Tokusatsu´s difusión through the analysis of the way that Tokusatsu features are adapted in the audiovisual approach of two movies: Pacific Rim (2013) and Power Rangers (2014). Thanks to cualitative study through interviews to Lissette Ponce, Tokusatsu diffusor in Perú, and Aldo Salvini, film director, we can reaffirm the features of Tokusatsu productions. Also, the use of the Likert´s Scale allow us to analyze how the Tokusatsu features are adapted in those movies through similarities and differences with a Tokusatsu production as Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger (2014). We concluded that exists a cultural hybridazation process of the japanese Tokusatsu in the analyzed movies. Pacific Rim presents a intercultural adaptation process of those features. For the other side, Power Rangers presents a transcultural adaptation process. Also, is proposed the existence of adaptation models in base of the cultural hybridazation phenomenon seeing in those movies.

  • Kamen Rider Heisei: Kabuto Jumpchain-Compatible CYOA by Heavensanon Version 0.1
    Kamen Rider Heisei: Kabuto Jumpchain-compatible CYOA By HeavensAnon Version 0.1 The year is 2006 A.D., and our stage is set in Japan. Seven years ago, a meteorite collided with the Shibuya District of Tokyo, killing several people and introducing a hostile alien species call the Worm to planet Earth. After their initial attacks, they absorbed the memories and forms of their victims and blended in with the population before continuing their bloody campaigns on others. The organization ZECT was formed for the purpose of combating the Worm, though not all is as it seems… You begin on the outskirts of the city where the events of this tale unfold, right as Souji Tendou meets Arata Kagami for the first time. The events of the first episode of Kamen Rider Kabuto are already in progress, and if you hurry, you may get yourself involved in what is to come...or simply do as you please? That choice is yours. Backgrounds: Drop-In [Free] - Perhaps this conflict is beneath you, or that memories from this world as a do-gooder or an alien are useless for your own purposes. If so, you may enter the jump with nothing more than what you enter with, receiving no new memories or context for your situation. Whatever you do, whatever you choose, may you walk the path of heaven. Hero [100] - You’re not anyone special. Maybe you work an average day job, maybe you were just fired from the force. Regardless, one thing is certain about you: You can’t just stand and do nothing as the Worm attack, kill, and imitate innocent people.

  • Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger ~Super Hero Getter~ the Showboat Pirates of Gokaiger ​
    Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger ~Super Hero Getter~ The showboat pirates of Gokaiger ​ Space Empire Zangyack, a powerful interstellar empire, made of all manner of alien forces have conquered many planets. Just days after the Goseiger’s victory over their final foe, countless Zangyack battleships came to earth bombarding human cities. Hundreds of gormin troops led by Sugormin commanders fought on the ground. How long the war lasted is unknown, what is known is that before the final confrontation a battle between hundreds of mecha and the Zangyack fleet occurred. Many of the mecha were destroyed during this battle. The Goseigers as the 34th sentai team went to war with Zangyack, but suffered greatly their mache crippled or destroyed. They were forced to flee, hiding in a forest. Just when all hope was lost and the forces of Zangyack had cornered them, they were saved by Akaranger the first red ranger. He had begun mobilising all 33 previous teams with Big One of JACKQ as his right hand. Fighting their way past enemy lines, the Goseigers, Akared, Big One and several other legendary sentai made it to the main sentai force. Together all 34 sentai teams went to battle with Zangyack, eventually combining all of their powers in one final attack. Shortly afterward the Sentai awakened and, though they had one, they all lost their ability to transform. Their powers were scattered across space in the form of Ranger Keys. Knowing they did the right thing the sentai went their separate ways and carried on with their lives. Yet AkaRed, the embodiment of all red rangers, sought to remedy this.

  • 1 BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Penelitian Menurut
    BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Penelitian Menurut Stewart L Tubbs “Budaya adalah suatu cara hidup yang berkembang dan dimiliki bersama oleh sebuah kelompok orang dan diwariskan dari generasi ke generasi. Budaya terbentuk dari banyak unsur yang rumit, termasuk sistem agama dan politik, adat istiadat, bahasa, perkakas, pakaian, bangunan, dan karya seni.” (1996:84) Dari pernyataan Stewart dapat disimpulkan bahwa budaya tidak lagi terkait dengan hal-hal yang berada di pedesaan yang berbau tradisional. Saat ini fenomena budaya sudah mulai bergerak ke wilayah urban, dan salah satu bentuk dari kebudayaan urban adalah film. Film sendiri bisa dikatakan sebuah budaya karena industri film telah ada sejak tahun 1927 dan bertahan diwarsikan hingga saat ini. Film juga mengandung unsur-unsur rumit yang telah dijabarkan oleh Stewart. Lebih lanjut, Sumarno menyatakan bahwa “film adalah bagian dari kehidupan modern dan tersedia dalam berbagai wujud. Film bukan saja menyajikan pengalaman yang mengasyikan melainkan juga pengalaman hidup sehari-hari yang dikemas secara menarik dan dengan memasukan beragam budaya ke dalam film tersebut” (1996: 22). Salah satu genre dari film yang paling sering dijumpai adalah serial drama. Serial drama adalah program yang hampir selalu ada dalam media televisi di berbagai negara di belahan dunia. Serial drama di berbagai negara di berbagai belahan dunia inipun memiliki ciri khas masing-masing yang tidak dimiliki oleh serial drama di negara lain. Diantaranya adalah drama Korea yang memiliki alur drama percintaan yang sulit ditebak, Kawasan Amerika Latin yang menonjolkan karakter wanita yang sangat kuat seperti Betty La Fea dan Esmeralda, India dengan drama Bollywood yang menjadikan tarian dan nyanyian sebagai ciri khas nya, Indonesia dengan sinetron yang memili alur yang berputar-putar dan ringan serta, serta Jepang dengan tokusatsu yang mengguanakan teknik-teknik tertentu 1 dalam vidiografinya dan masih banyak lagi yang tidak bisa penulis sebutkan satu persatu.

    METHOD TO INVESTIGATE FICTIONAL ENTITIES: A CASE OF ISHINOMORI SHOTARO’S “KAMENRIDER BLACK” TV SERIES IN INDONESIA Rizki Musthafa Arisun Japan Culture Lecturer in STBA LIA Jakarta ([email protected]) ABSTRACT This article reports an experiment to pursue appropriate observation method on fictional entities inside popular culture products from Japan: two dimensional characters, fictional characters in a movie. Previous research showed how Indonesian popular culture producers being empowered in production, as fictional entities involved, such as “Hatsune Miku” (HM), a virtual singer persona. This article focused on older cases where media Japan travelled to Indonesia. Back in 1989, a TV action serial "Kamen Rider Black/ Ksatria Baja Hitam" (KRB/KBH) from Japan, was broadcasted by Indonesian local television station RCTI, and dubbed in Indonesian language. The experiment on finding appropriate observation method is conducted by constructing frameworks, imagined as ‘dissecting’ fictional entities into smaller observable parts. The purpose of this paper is to map methods to examine the role of non-human entities under transnational media by evaluating through early stage experiment.

And then, a flash of fire, passing us, hooking us in its trail, pulling us along with it, a tiny meteorite plunging down into earth’s atmosphere... WE FOLLOW IT Down burning through night sky, clouds, then out over the ocean, plunging into the water with a burst of steam. After a moment, there’s another plop, another burst of steam. And then, like raindrops, hundreds of tiny fragments begin striking the ocean, when suddenly- A HUGE fireball, CRASHING INTO THE OCEAN- dragging us under- Revealing a title, coming up slowly, from the murky depths... POWER RANGERS SLAM TO: A dead fish. Out on the beach. Dozens...no, hundreds; it’s a mass wash-up, disgusting, covering the beach of idyllic ANGEL GROVE, California, as far as the eye can see. School buses are parked next to the beach; it’s a big volunteer clean-up, people everywhere. We’re near a carnival pier, the centerpiece of which is a huge, colorful, old-fasioned ferris wheel. A sign reads “WELCOME TO ANGEL GROVE, HOME TO AMERICA’S 4TH 5TH LARGEST FERRIS WHEEL!” The pier is clearly currently closed. JASON Scott, 17, kneels next to a shark. Jason’s alpha male good-looks and natural athleticism are dampened by an immediate aloofness; he’s rough around the edges, anxious. JASON Look at the teeth on this guy. William “BILLY” Cranston, 17, approaches behind him, putting fish into a plastic bag solemnly.
