Japanese Doctor Who

A zero-budget, heartfelt parody of Doctor Who and the Tokusatsu genre. We are dropped into a fictional segment of a Doctor Who but from a parallel universe—one where the series originated in Japan. Drawing inspiration from classics like Monkey!, Super Sentai, Kamen Rider X, and, of course, Toei’s Spider-Man, it reimagines the beloved sci-fi adventure with a distinct Tokusatsu flair.
