Tokumu Sentai Shinesman and Assemble Insert are two episode OVA's that are hilarious parodies of the superhero genres. The main characters have jobs by day, but when trouble calls they become superheros. The villians are also very memorable and silly.

Binan Koukou Second Season and Tokumu Sentai Shinesman are both about a silly color coordinated people with powers fighting absurd monsters. In both anime, the main antagonists are both super evil aliens that just want to get rid of the heros.

Both are hilarious Super Sentai parodies that blur the lines between mundane reality (business and fashion modelling, respectively) and undercover crime fighting with great shout outs to classic Tokusatsu franchises from Godzilla to Kamen Rider and of course Super Sentai.

both are shoujo action 2 episode ova with a slightly romantic shounen ai main couple with huge age gap.
