Can you imagine if Zeiram (1991 dir. Keita Amemiya) came out today. Everyone would want to fuck Zeiram. There would be so much art of him the monsterfuckers could finally die happy.

i'm like one of those creepy shitheads on twitter always crying about the DEGENERATION OF ART except instead of whining about how we don't make marble statues of naked ladies anymore in lieu of idk rothko paintings or steven universe or whatever they're mad about i'm just upset that tokusatsu shows and movies are mostly just CGI bullshit now instead of practical effects. i mean the same could be said for most genre movies but this is the one that just especially makes me sad right now
like lately i've been obsessed with the early work of director and character designer keita amemiya. he was one of the guys who did a lot of work on super sentai and kamen rider starting in the 80s but also made some absolutely badass standalone tokusatsu movies in the 90s, like CYBER NINJA, ZEIRAM, ZEIRAM 2, and MECHANICAL VIOLATOR HAKAIDER, all of which are just dripping with cool analogue effects: exquisitely crafted monster and robot suits, animatronics, stop motion, matte paintings, props, squibs, explosions, you name it just put that shit right into my VEINS
like look at this!
youtube
how fun is that!! amemiya made that in 1991
here's a scene from the sequel in 1994:
youtube
it's campy! it's fun! they put so much effort into all those costumes and guns and props and got a shitload of real live extras just for this one scene! check out those blood sprays!
now look at what he made in 2019:

anyway did you know that basically all tokusatsu shows and movies from back when they were cool are on archive.org? for free? like you can find probably every episode and movie from the past 50+ years of ultraman, kamen rider, super sentai, kaiju movies, and so on and so forth!
since i'm yelling about amemiya in particular here's links to his good movies:
CYBER NINJA
ZEIRAM
ZEIRAM 2
MECHANICAL VIOLATOR HAKAIDER
KAMEN RIDER ZO
KAMEN RIDER J
also maybe toss the archive some money while you're at it because they're doing the lord's work and greedy assholes are suing them
