Description on AnimeDB.net
Tentai Senshi Sunred - I think this is definitely an acquired taste. Before you dismiss this show from your playlist, give it 2 or 3 episodes (as in, watch them), to get a good idea of the what the show is about and its humor. Each episode is bite-sized, like 10-15 minutes, so I think you can spare that much time between your other anime.
You know shows like, the power rangers, any good old fashioned kids show where there are 1) heroes and 2) monsters, and the show is about heroes fighting the monsters? Good. Now you need to take those characters and plop them into real-life Japan and its cultural norms and polite society. When you realize that Astro Fighter Sunred may not be the upstanding model citizen and that monsters, too, have feelings and social rules to follow, you have fallen into the world of Astro Fighter Sunred.
Fun things to do: sing along with the ending theme (which is about cooking a dish), catch a superhero smoking through his helmet, notice how Vamp's head just sort of bobs up and down, notice all those fun little things that happen on those hero shows (calling out all the "special moves" a monster does)
Recommendations:
- Detroit Metal City...unique situation, stomach the language, see the hilarity (See Anime Spotlight)
- Hetalia: Axis Powers...fast paced parody of world history embodied by characters that celebrate, fight and bicker amongst allies and enemies alike (See Anime Spotlight)
