Weekend Japanatainment: Japanese superhero parody edition!
by Red Baylon, 06/13/2009

Tonight on Weekend Japanatainment, we have a Japanese Superhero-filled edition to grab your attention for a good few minutes! As we all know, Japanese Superheroes area bit different from their American counterparts and are a bit more over-the-top which can often provide a lot of laughs. Well, I'd hate to keep you from your weekly dose of instant satisfaction.

Video 1: (Above) Dynaman Part 1 of 3 - One of the first dubs of Super Sentai before the conception of Power Rangers in the US, and it was pretty much a tongue-in-cheek  parody of the show making fun out of the over-the-topness of super sentai.

Video 2: Dynaman Part 2 of 3

Video 3: Dynaman Part 3 of 3

Video 4: Kamen Rider G Part 1 of 2 - Part of the 10th Anniversary celebrationg of the Heisei Kamen Rider series, the idol group SMAP does a parody/homage of Kamen Rider with one of their members, Goro Inagaki, as a Kamen Rider. Very much a parody just like a lot of stuff SMAP does on their variety show, SMAPxSMAP, this Kamen Rider parody seems to be part of the canon but maybe just another way to promote the 10th Anniversary season of Kamen Rider Decade.

Video 5: Kamen Rider G Part 2 of 2

Video 6: Kamen Rider Kiva Ixa Exercise Video - A video exercise segment from an interactive DVD featuring characters from Kamen Rider Kiva in one of those fourth wall breaking moments where they include the viewer as part of what's happening on screen. Exercise videos featuring children's TV show characters have always been a  staple but this seems to be a first for the Kamen Rider which tends to target the older kid audience.

Video 7: Chaser's War on Japan - Australians make fun of the Japanese game show stereotype.

Bonus Stupid Video: Jesus Cheetos - Stupid family finds Jesus in a bag of Cheetos, seems a lot more believable than finding Jesus in you know, at church.
