Five years later, he directed the FX for GunHed before succeeding Nakano for the Godzilla film series from 1989's Godzilla Vs. Biollante to 1995's Godzilla Vs. Destoroyah, completing the second series of Godzilla films (the Versus Series, AKA: the "Heisei Series").
Most of the Godzilla films he worked on were characterized by the monsters standing/walking around and shooting energy weapons at each other (there was a certain limit on physical fighting at the time, so that the monster fights look more "realistic").
In 2003, he directed the FX for Toho's Chouseishin Series of superhero shows, starting with the first series, Super Star God Gransazer.

The series portrayed the hero as an obsessed fanatic on a brutal quest to mold society to his will and concluded with a symbolic slugfest against Superman, now an agent/secret weapon of the U.S government.

These franchises were initially successful but later sequels in both series fared poorly, stunting the growth of superhero films for a time.

Personally I like the ChouSeishin series.I find myself liking it more than sentai and kamen rider later.
I was quite impressed with Guyferd, especially at a time when the Sentai Series began to stagnate (and the Metal Hero Series was dying).
These shows are kind of like costumed superhero operas, almost like an American superhero comic-book (the heroes fight the same powerful villain(s) for several episodes, rather than the weekly monster), and the monster of the week is used sparingly, something unheard of in most tokusatsu superhero shows!
