To be fair, I DID at one point believe Tokusatu was just the likes of Ultraman but then it hit me most of these movies AND ESPECIALLY Godzilla, are all part of that same basic genre. Which makes me wonder why so many rag on Ultraman, Gamera and any other non-Toho/Godzilla kaiju at times. It's just amusing 'cuz the concept of a Ultraman and giant turtle isn't any more laughable than a oversized dinosaur spawned by nuclear testing, and many hail that as the most drop-dead serious thing to come out of the Japanese Sci-Fi genre.
