 | | Featuring colorful heroes, mind-bending villains, creative combinations of monsters, insects and machines, and hosts of eager children in supporting roles, these live action, low budget romps (also known as henshin) are bizarre, comical, confusing and always entertaining. |
 | | In Kikaida, the hero is a brooding, depressed 20-something who travels around Japan on his motorcycle, complete with a sidecar for his acoustic guitar, so he can sing about his sorrows. |
 | | Science again granted the heroes their powers, often combining genetics, cybernetics and mysterious forces to transform ordinary teens into super-powered heroes. |
