Tokusatsu/Live Films/etc. - Subs or Dubs?

meisterman1985
Some of you know tokusatsu (Special Filming) as in Super Sentai/Power Rangers franchises, as well as Toei's Spider-Man and Kamen Rider franchise. Then there's the similar Metal Heroes Series such as Gavan and Solbrain, where the protagonists are mainly space and police-characters either humans in high-tech armor or cyborgs or androids. Then there's Daikaiju (Huge Monster), which best known examples are Godzilla, Ultraman, and Gamera. Then there are some variety shows, usually comedy and challenges, like Takeshi's Castle, Kinniku Banzuke, and these four: http://youtu.be/eXpyr0aVkHM http://youtu.be/-XDDVh9qTx4 http://youtu.be/G7G2Qa9P1pU http://youtu.be/AnS8Ao4iJP4 And then there are some regular live action films such as these: Tampopo (this scene shows how a long time ramen master eats ramen soup) http://youtu.be/6WrkdTrrwew The Military Policeman and The Dismembered Beauty (where Shigesato Itoi got the idea of Geigue/Giyig/Giygas in the MOTHER/EarthBound series from) http://youtu.be/g75RSbIc5FM Various Horror Films (even James "AVGN" Rolfe is teaching himself Japanese language mainly to watch and understand Japanese horror films) http://youtu.be/MjjGBR18n4Y Kitten Story: Adventures of Chatran (later localized as Milo & Otis. While the dub seems just silly cute in some parts, the sub seems emotional, touching and sad. Even some scenes were rearranged for the dub. Sub is way better!) http://youtu.be/RRjwx1gfC1Q Besides colorful manga, anime, and video games, do you watch any of these other Japanese media?

I know mainstream as fuck Sadly because of my bad habit of picking up show after show and stalling on them only to then get distracted by something else keeps me from ever finishing any of em *ashamed*

I don't really go out there with the stuff I watch. I mainly stick with Tokusatsu and Daikaiju along with the occasional Food based drama or Yankee film. Just to skim some of what I've touched already there's most of the Heisei era Kamen riders, Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger, Ultraman X/Orb/Geed/Nexus, first 3 seasons of Shinya Shokudo, the Crows films, and Rea(L)ove.
