This is definitely a great super hero anime parody!!! Astro Fighter Sunred is supposedly the magnificent story of the conflict between good & evil that takes place in the city of Kawasaki, however the true story is more about slice of life with super heroes & villains.

Being a parody of super sentai (power rangers) much of the show focuses a role reversal specifically the main hero & villain Sunred & General Vamp. Sunred whose is suppose to be the hero of this show is a jerk who doesn't take his job that seriously as he isn't in full costume, spends his time playing pachinko & enjoys beating the crap out of villains. General Vamp who is a member of an evil organization named Florsheim, is the most kind-hearted villain you'll ever meet. (Vamp is often compared to a housewife than a super villain)

Most of the humor is found through its dialogue & its satire towards the superhero genre however the anime's comedy can vary per episode but usually remains consistently funny. This is due the anime having several small segments such as animal soldiers, some quick shorts lasting a few seconds, skits featuring other side characters & even Vamp's own cooking segment.

Another fun gag that the anime pokes fun at itself with its opening & ending themes as the lyrics are anything but serious, especially when the ending theme is just a cooking recipe being sung in a very soothing way. Another example is the opening animation trolls its audience displaying a typical super sentai opening while doesn't deliver what you see. There aren't any real flaws to this series but people should be aware that the animation is intentionally choppy which adds to the humor of the show. Furthermore, most characters & monsters don't have lipflaps often resorting to them moving their heads which I hope this won't be a problem for most viewers.

Tentai Senshi Sunred has a total of 2 seasons equaling 52 13 minute episodes. The only personal flaw I have with the series is the lack of more episodes as the anime concluded in 2010. I'd say give the series 13 episodes before you think of dropping it. While the series is mostly comedy heavy it does give this "fuzzy feeling" as the villains of the show are so likeable that they behave more like a family rather than a evil organization.
