Tokumu Sentai Shinesman

Tokusatsu (特撮) is a term originally coined to describe to a specific brand of special effects-heavy live-action movies and television (in fact, the word translates directly as "special effects"). The genre was popularised by Godzilla (1954), though the term actually predates it slightly.

In modern times, the word is often instead used to describe a particular sort of superhero series, featuring one, two or several characters who can transform into outfits that cover the entire body, concealing their identity and provide them with various abilities, either magical or through advanced technology. When there are multiple characters, such as the long-running Super Sentai series, they tend to each have a different theme colour.

There is quite a large crossover between Mecha (almost always of the Super Robot variety), as often Tokusatsu heroes will be able to either grow to giant size or command Mechas (often that can combine into increasingly powerful forms) in order to combat giant monsters. Another big area of overlap is with Mahou Shoujou, as both typically feature a multicoloured group of characters with flamboyant attacks. To that end, Tokusatsu is sometimes considered the "male equivalent" of Mahou Shoujou, though of course both have examples of going against this stereotype.

The following list is non-exhaustive. Should a significant number of additional titles be found, an addendum may be made. There is no real order other than keeping series together and prioritising more notable titles.

A list of bully OVAs with openings for AMQ.

Welcome to my Obscurity series, which I hope will help you delve deeper into the depths of anime, particularly the classics.

The criteria here is simple: Anime released in 2001 or earlier, with under 35,000 MAL Members, and which I've rated a 7 or higher.

I'm also not including anything that I've already included on my Good Stuff list: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9517

It is perhaps worth noting that I rate things entirely on gut feeling. It's just, "I like that, that was good, it gets a 7.", that's the whole process. I can also find enjoyment in just about anything and there's very little that bothers me.

I can’t say these titles are good, but they are unforgettable.
This is a list to compile the odds and ends I recommend for no reason other than they exist.
