@C_Furman Opps, I forgot to reply (I was away for weekend). My apology I didn't explain it enough. Yes I knew he didn't precisely voiced for Gamera the Brave. I was just referring to his King Kong roars being reused (as a way to mourn him as a Gamera fan). But thanks for correcting anyway.
@KGB_Agent88@Jonthezilla My apology for causing misunderstanding, but also you didn't need to rush.
Anyway, money surely matters. You can also check this thread. I bet it's worth reading.
@KGB_Agent88@Jonthezilla it's clearly an overreaction...
At least it's not a proper response to be so edgy towards someone you talk for the first time (and in the very first reply without any previous interactions).
If you are on my side, you would clearly feel I'm overreacting.
@KGB_Agent88@Jonthezilla do you have any sort of mental issue for such sensitive overreaction? if so, I'm sorry for not considering that.
you should be aware of the fact that good quality for mass productions are largely based on stable and healthy production systems.
@Jonthezilla@TheGumGun "excuse"
dude, some people (including those who worked for Gamera) actually died in this period because of financial difficulties of Daiei... how can you compare with Toho, the richest domestic studio...
@Ultrakyriel Indeed. The same can be said for studies of non-Japanese cultures in Japan (even including American based Godzilla productions). I guess insufficiency of interactions causing serious negative effects on both sides.
@citizen_mask its a huge red flag when someone tries to be a "steward" of something as broad as tokusatsu. A list of your favorite shows or even a particular era you enjoy is going to tell me so much more about you as a person than if you try to be a walking encyclopedia
There's Japanese scholars of tokusatsu who have seen basically every tokusatsu and analyzed them in great depth and interviewed showa, Heisei and Reiwa era creators.
But they seem heavily ignored by a lot of American tokusatsu discussions?
@Ultrakyriel One thing for sure is that it's also our society's fault.
Terribly close minded, Galápagos syndrome, Japanification, neglecting (or even avoiding) global perspectives, terribly low English proficiency, and so on.
One thing I noticed is often a lot of Japanese experts on Japanese media tends to get ignored simply because their works aren't translated into English.
You would think more non-Japanese fans might consult those Japanese experts first before making big comments and takes online
@Jonthezilla Tbf, Daiei had to avoid Toho styles bcz of a very strict inter-company agreement.
This made godzilla vastly superior in kaiju genre. Also, this agreement also killed some actors including who appeared in a Gamera film.
