Tentai Senshi Sunred

A list of satirical anime, ordered A -> Z.

Please let me know if there are any I missed!

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.

Anime where the average episode runtime is under 20 minutes

The parameters for this list are as follows:
- Episode duration between 30 seconds and 14 minutes
- Episode count of 4 or more episodes total
- Standalone Series only (Sorry, Koyomimonogatari)
- First seasons stand for the whole franchise

Want to see something life-changing? An amazing anime that's a 10/10 and is widely discussed as a work of art? Well you won't find that here, quite the opposite, I decided to gather up a few animes that I consider to be an anime version of shitposting. Where either the art, plot, or anything else is done bad on purpose. Don't watch these thinking anything serious or profound is about to happen. Go into these for a good laugh and something to help remove you from the seriousness of life.

*FOR THIS INTEREST STACK, GAG/COMEDY ANIMES AREN'T ALL GOING TO FILL THE DEFINITION*
*with that said recommendation will be taken into consideration*

avant-garde, surreal, off-beat, abstract and experimental anime.

Anime with a manic, surreal energy that also has comedy that's not necessarily for kids.

not really a comprehensive list

anime which have a duck as part of the cast (this is a very important topic to me)
does not include shorts/OVAs/movies/etc. unless i think they REALLY deserve a mention
