  • The Skull Man Jumpchain the Year Is 1970 and a Young Man Named Tatsuo Kagura Is About to Begin a Rampage Across Japan Under the Guise of the Skull Man
    The Skull Man Jumpchain The year is 1970 and a young man named Tatsuo Kagura is about to begin a rampage across Japan under the guise of The Skull Man. His parents, a pair of genius scientists dedicated to the “evolution of humanity”, performed many experiments on their young son in order to create the perfect example of Newmanity as part of the plans of the evil organisation The Syndicate. After they were murdered by his grandfather, Tatsuo was rescued by the shapeshifting Kaijin Garo. Will you abide his vicious vigilante vengeance quest? Or will you oppose this dark anti-hero? Or is the year 1988, where a only somewhat different Tatsuo will battle against the evil Rasputin and takes part in a trip into the world of shadows and the evil within all of us. Or perhaps it is even more recent, say 2007? But this is a very different Skull Man. Tatsuo and his father both slain, and the Skull Man suit (the source of the Skull Man's powers in this version of events) if found by a priest named Yoshio Kanzaki to battle the evil cult Byakureikai and it's evil experiments on humanity. This story begins with the death of Yoshio and the mantle of Skull Man taken over by Hayato Mikogami who may in fact be Tatsuo himself under a new identity.

  • Japanese Animation Guide: the History of Robot Anime
    Commissioned by Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs Manga, Animation, Games, and Media Art Information Bureau Japanese Animation Guide: The History of Robot Anime Compiled by Mori Building Co., Ltd. 2013 Commissioned by Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs Manga, Animation, Games, and Media Art Information Bureau Japanese Animation Guide: The History of Robot Anime Compiled by Mori Building Co., Ltd. 2013 Addition to the Release of this Report This report on robot anime was prepared based on information available through 2012, and at that time, with the exception of a handful of long-running series (Gundam, Macross, Evangelion, etc.) and some kiddie fare, no original new robot anime shows debuted at all. But as of today that situation has changed, and so I feel the need to add two points to this document. At the start of the anime season in April of 2013, three all-new robot anime series debuted. These were Production I.G.'s “Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet," Sunrise's “Valvrave the Liberator," and Dogakobo and Orange's “Majestic Prince of the Galactic Fleet." Each was broadcast in a late-night timeslot and succeeded in building fanbases. The second new development is the debut of the director Guillermo Del Toro's film “Pacific Rim," which was released in Japan on August 9, 2013. The plot involves humanity using giant robots controlled by human pilots to defend Earth’s cities from gigantic “kaiju.” At the end of the credits, the director dedicates the film to the memory of “monster masters” Ishiro Honda (who oversaw many of the “Godzilla” films) and Ray Harryhausen (who pioneered stop-motion animation techniques.) The film clearly took a great deal of inspiration from Japanese robot anime shows.

  • Tokusatsu. I Telefilm Giapponesi Con Effetti Speciali
    Tokusatsu. I telefilm giapponesi con effetti speciali. Tokutatsu è il primo saggio in Italia dedicato alla storia dei telefilm giapponesi con effetti speciali. Ve lo ricordate Megaloman? Introduciamo Tokutatsu. Chi è appassionato di manga, anime e film di mostri (i cosiddetti kaijū eiga) ha a disposizione un numero considerevole di pubblicazioni tra cui scegliere. C’è però un altro settore, non ancora adeguatamente considerato e studiato, che ha un’importanza altrettanto fondamentale. Sono i tokusatsu, i telefilm nipponici con effetti speciali di cui qualche esempio è arrivato anche in Italia durante i primi anni Ottanta. Si è trattato però solo della punta dell’iceberg di un fenomeno molto più ricco, articolato e complesso che meritava di essere approfondito. Il termine, che deriva dalla fusione delle parole tokushū (特殊) e satsuei (撮影) ossia “effetti speciali”, viene utilizzato per indicare un genere di serie televisive, spesso di argomento fantascientifico, in cui viene fatto abbondante uso di particolari espedienti cinematografici. Dal kabuki a Ultraman L’origine di queste produzioni risale ai primi esempi del teatro giapponese tradizionale, in particolare al kabuki e al bunraku. Dal primo questi telefilm hanno tratto ispirazione principalmente per le scene d’azione e di combattimento; dal secondo, invece, hanno mutuato tutta una serie di soluzioni tecniche artigianali che poi, ulteriormente sviluppate e raffinate, hanno dato origine a quel particolare mix in cui costumi sgargianti si sposano con esplosioni pirotecniche e modellini in scala di città, navi, aerei e mostri di vario genere. Analizzare la storia di questo tipo di produzioni significa intraprendere un lungo viaggio che inizia negli anni Cinquanta, con i primi supereroi mascherati emuli di Superman e Batman, per poi attraversare gli anni Sessanta, con la consacrazione di Eiji Tsuburaya a cui si deve la creazione di una lunga serie di personaggi che sono entrati nella storia del cinema e della televisione giapponese, Ultraman su tutti.

  • Bab Ii Gambaran Umum Tentang Tokusatsu Dan Kamen Rider
    BAB II GAMBARAN UMUM TENTANG TOKUSATSU DAN KAMEN RIDER 2.1. Tokusatsu Tokusatsu merupakan genre film yang berasal dari Jepang yang merujuk kepada film super hero Jepang yang menggunakan efek spesial. Kata tokusatsu sendiri merupakan gabungan dari kata Tokushu yang berarti spesial dan Satsuei yang berarti penggambilan gambar, sehingga tokusatsu dapat diartikan sebagai pengambilan gambar gambar menggunakan efek spesial. Contoh film yang bergenre tokusatsu adalah Film Godzilla, serial Kamen Rider, serial Ultraman dan serial Super Sentai. Asal usul genre tokusatsu diawali dari teater tradisional Jepang, kabuki dan bunraku. Kabuki adalah pertujukan drama Jepang yang lahir pada jaman Edo. Kabuki identik dengan make-up dan pakaian mencolok yang dipakai oleh para pemainnya. Dalam kabuki, para pemain biasanya banyak melakukan tarian dan nyanyian ketika tampil di atas panggung untuk menyampaikan alur cerita dari drama yang sedang dipertunjukan, sedangkan bunraku adalah pertunjukan teater Jepang yang menggunakan permainan boneka untuk menyampaikan jalan ceritanya. Kabuki dan bunraku menjadi inspirasi dalam pembentukan efek spesial yang ada dalam film tokusatsu, terutama adegan aksi dan pertarungan yang ada dalam pertunjukan kabuki dan permainan boneka yang ada dalam pertunjukan bunraku. Meskipun begitu, genre tokusatsu baru terbentuk pada 1954 ketika ditayangkannya film tokusatsu pertama yang berjudul Godzilla di Jepang. Pada 1954, Eiji Tsuburaya, seorang yang ahli dalam membuat efek spesial atau yang disebut sebagai tokushu kantoku, bekerja sama dengan seorang sutradara film yang bernama Ishiro Honda untuk memproduksi film kaiju bergenre tokusatsu pertama yang berjudul Godzilla. Film Godzilla menceritakan tentang monster raksasa yang terlahir akibat radiasi nuklir dan diberi nama Godzilla. Godzilla digambarkan sebagai monster raksasa yang sangat kuat dan UNIVERSITAS DARMA PERSADA 11 sulit dibunuh.

  • Cross-Influence Between Robot Anime and Tokusatsu in SSSS.Gridman Angela Longo, Yokohama National University, Japan the Asian Co
    Cross-influence Between Robot Anime and Tokusatsu in SSSS.Gridman Angela Longo, Yokohama National University, Japan The Asian Conference on Arts & Humanities 2019 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract This article focuses on the cross-influence between the establishment of the Robot Anime genre and the Tokusatsu in order to understand how both genres were fundamental in shaping and changing the way we perceive Japanese media, domestically and across the world. The design of plamodels and robotic mechanisms will be a point of contact for influencing one another, in terms of aesthetics and industry models. From the television broadcasting of friendly robots in the 1960s — to the giant robots of the 1970s and the henshin boom in Tokusatsu — to the explosion of the more realistic robots in the 1980 and the influence of Super Sentai shows — to the increasing mix between robots and humans in the 1990s — the robot imagery brought philosophical questions about the increasing use of technology in daily life and in the technicity of media itself. Particularly we will analyze the case of the anime SSSS.Gridman (2018) adapted from the original Tokusatsu series Denkō Chōjin Gridman (Gridman the Hyper Agent, 1993-1994) created by Tsuburaya Productions. The anime context is a personalized otaku world with the everlasting influence of Tokusatsu and Super Sentai series. In that sense, the aesthetic analysis will be grounded on how different media captures other media, and how that brings an opening for choices with a deliberate difference in the composing of the moving image. Keywords: Anime; Tokusatsu; Robot; SSSS.Gridman; Aesthetics. iafor The International Academic Forum www.iafor.org Introduction Since the globalization boom of Japanese animation on the 90s, we have seen a continuous rise of interest in the aspects of production, distribution and the establishment of an academic research field dedicated to exploring anime and other Japanese media.
