Interesting, "Geek Crash Course" is having a tokusatsu month. I never heard of them before but they have links from toku sites. They are described as "a resource for those outside-looking-in when it comes to science fiction, comics, video games, and anything nerdy".

Nnyway, here's the episode page:

Toei's Live-Action Akibaranger Show Uniforms Revealed

Bandai's Tamashii Nations website revealed the uniforms of Toei's live-action Hikōnin Sentai Akibaranger (Unofficial Sentai Akihabara Rangers) television series. The story follows three protagonists who live in Akihabara's Electric Town among other otaku. When the trio learn that a malevolent entity plans to annihilate their neighborhood, they become warriors to wipe out evil — with the help of super gear created by a beautiful and brilliant genius.

Despite being a formal Toei production, it has "Unofficial" in its title to separate it from the "official" Super Sentai titles such as this year's Tokumei Sentai Gobusters.

Gainax, Nobuhiro Yamashita Create Live-Action TV Show EA's Rock

The show's story follows the former members of the "Kankaku Senshi Gokan Five," a super sentai group that successfully protected the Earth's peace and now goes about their daily lives in other occupations due to a lack of hero-related work. It will take place in Tokyo's Shooting Bar EA, a combination airsoft shooting range and bar, with Gokan Red, 45 years old, working at the bar owned by the former Gokan Blue as a bartender. Momoka, a 17-year-old high school girl, joins the team part-time as a waitress and Gokan Peach.

The series will contain 13 15-minute episodes, and the episodes will air on various television stations in Japan in April as well as on Nico Nico Douga.

Detective Conan Manga Gets New Live-Action TV Special

The new special is tentatively titled Meitantei Conan Drama Special: Kudō Shinichi Kyoto Shinsengumi Satsujin Jiken (Detective Conan Drama Special: Shinichi Kudō and the Case of the Kyoto Shinsengumi Murder). The original manga follows a brilliant detective trapped in a child's body, but the live-action spinoffs have been set before the manga, when the title character Shinichi "Conan Edogawa" Kudō was still a teenager. In the new special, Shinichi and Heiji compete to solve a murder at a Kyoto film studio.
