The Humour and Nostalgia of Tokusatsu in Gamera: Guardian of the Universe
Tokusatsu films like Gamera thrive in this overlapping space between memory and fantasy, where the imperfection of effects become an essential part of the experience, as reminders of a time when our imagination filled in the gaps. These practical effects are less about realism and more so an invitation to remember a time when we cheerfully and cheekily suspended our disbelief.
