Cable Channels destroys Tokusatsu's image.

I'm so dissapointed from some cable channels destroying the Tokusatsu image and limiting the programming that bring us discrimination from other Japanese related programs like Anime.Hero,Cartoon Network and Animax were totally stupid just because there are many time slots to aired Tokusatsu series and not rotating five programs three times a day everyday.



The Hero saturday prime time called the Saturday super sentai were totally recycled and always re-aired an old classic whatever.I'm not discriminating or cursed to re-air this series but to change another series with fresh concept just for example from Shaider to Sharivan,Solbrain or Blu swat, another example from Maskman to another series just like Zyuranger,Megaranger or Gekiranger,this is maybe better than maskman repeated many times and there's no other series that would be replaced about somethng new.Aren't you getting tired to watch this for a long time just like watching non-stop Naruto,Bleach and One Piece.That is the problem of this channel.





The Animax channel is totally stupid also why????It is an Anime channel but why they're considered Koreanovelas to aired and not Tokusatsu series if there is Arirang and KBS to aired with subtitles .This is a channel for Otaku enthusiast not a place for drama fans,that's why a convention is pathetic than before just because of this kind of influence spread through otaku enthusiast and resulted to a limited knowledge about anything with matching some discrimination just like my last blog post entitled Filipino ignorance about Tokusatsu tells about the comment of other retards about the Sharivan cosplay image and the stereotypes happened to our otaku community today.







Cartoon Network also aired Tokusatsu series most preferably Kamen Rider and others are Gransazers,Justirisers,Sazer X and Madan Senki Ryukendo but it was also considered the stupid one because it's aired alongside the copycat one Power Rangers the worse is Kamen Rider Dragon Knight even it's little too bit confusing of using the word Kamen to look cool.I really don't appreciate the primetime every weeknights because of this shit combo also if they include some anime poser series Rex and Dice also including those anime posers from disney.In airing Kamen Riders I'm little bit dissapointed of skipping from Kamen Rider Blade go to Kamen Rider Kabuto instead of continuing to Kamen Rider Hibiki,Kamen Rider Den-O and other Kamen Rider series would be aired soon.As for copycats it looks sad for those viewers brainwashed about the perceptions of Tokusatsu series here and the ignorance and absence of Super Sentai series.



In other channels like AXN would be considered to aired some Tokusatsu series because of some similarities of action themes in different programs, but there's one problem full of American shows has almost conquered all entire cable channels in one cable provider that it's too tired to watch and just wasting a money for subscribing a cable every month.There are many slots to provide a cable channel for us I wish TV Asahi or maybe TBS would established an International channel for us with subtitles,it could also benefit for those Japanese foreigners in our country same to Koreans airing KBS and Arirang for them.If Tv Asahi create an international channel the super hero time will surely aired from 6:30am to 7:30 am in Taipei time which is really similar to our time.

Just because they're not airing tokusatsu series or airing enough doesn't mean they're destroying its image. Destruction of someone's/something's image is when you say negative, often fictional, things about the subject. I don't see that here.

Have you considered the possibility that tokusatsu series aren't that popular in the country? This could explain the lack of new series shown in HeroTV. That or maybe they already have a list of shows they would air and that a new tokusatsu series is just waiting in line? Another possibility is problems with acquiring rights to air the series in local channels.

Animax started off as a cable company dedicated to anime. However, like any other company, it has to venture out into other markets to continue growing. Seeing that K-dramas are becoming increasingly popular nowadays, it is just common sense to tap into that market to make more money. Also, just because otakus love anime doesn't mean the cable airing them should be dedicated to these types of people. If they did their market would shrink considerably.

Categorizing Kamen Rider as sentai is indeed a pretty stupid move. However I believe that fans created from watching the Kamen Rider show on that time slot would do research and be corrected from that mistake. It's not hard to do nowadays with the Internet. Also, even if they still mistake it as sentai, most of them would be kids and I think it's a waste of time to get mad at them for that. I'm pretty sure that they'd correct themselves when they're still fans upon reaching an older age.

AXN focuses on a different demographic. Sure it airs anime but it doesn't focuses on that because it knows that 1.) most of its audience aren't into that 2.) they already have Animax for that. Also you're forgetting that you're in the Philippines where American culture dominates. It would only make sense to air American shows.

As I said earlier, maybe tokusatsu series aren't as popular as we would want it to be. But that's not a reason to get mad and call everyone stupid for getting tokusatsu mix up with sentai or calling people who watch it kids. People who watch anime get the same treatment. Hell even I get that sometimes. But I do correct them about it and after that they more or less understand where I'm coming from. We're talking about the majority here. You can't expect everyone to like or even watch all the things that we like. It's called variety and it's part of reality.
