Sentai Daishikkaku

We follow the villains of a classic Japanese Saturday morning kids show being the main focus, deconstruct the hero and meaning of heroism while providing a show not at all suitible for younger audiences. Both are homage-parodies where the studio put lots of care in, showing their love for the genre. 

Both are satirical takes on a Power Rangers-like setting, but this is less drama and more romcom with a villain and a ranger being in love. 

Sentai Daishikkaku and Ajin Demi-Human approach the journey of the anti-hero spiced with the theme of immortality and regeneration in very similar ways. In Ajin, the demi-humans possess an innate ability to regenerate, rendering them nearly immortal. This unique trait becomes both a gift and a curse, as they are relentlessly pursued by authorities eager to research or eliminate them just like the Dragon Rangers tend to exploit this trait unique to dustmen during their staged battles with these villains. The black soot that emanates from both demi-human and dustmen while regenerating from their wounds is a stark visual reminder of otherness their bodies possess and the dangers they face in spite of this advantage. So all in all Sentai Daishikkaku offers a satirical take on superhero teams, where the villains often display similar regenerative abilities but with a comedic twist. Whereas Ajin delves deeper into the ethical complexities of inhuman experimentation and societal responses. read more 

The idols or heroes that people look up to are deceiving the people that admire them. The premise of both shows at first makes it seem a bit simple and silly, yet if you give them time you notice how everything is not black and white. By doing that, both shows give depth to the genre they represent. If you like shows like these give them a try. Animation is well done in both shows as well.
