Introduction
Tentai Senshi Sunred is the magnificent story of the conflict between good and evil that takes place in the city of Kawasaki. Sunred, ally of justice, is dedicated to stopping the evil organization Florsheim on their quest for world domination, while General Vamp and his minions are constantly thinking up new schemes to defeat Sunred. In what sounds like a typical story, the characters make all the difference.
Our hero Sunred is rude, violent, and lazy, playing pachinko all day and leeching off of his girlfriend Kayoko Uchida. Meanwhile General Vamp is polite, conscientious, and an ideal homemaker who cooks, mothers his minions, and discusses housekeeping with Kayoko, who bickers constantly with Sunred. Even the monsters of Florsheim tend to be adorable and harmless.
Each episode is comprised of several shorts weighing in at anywhere from a few minutes to a few seconds, and explores the daily lives of these sworn enemies. This is the story of the battle between good and evil that takes place in Kawasaki.

Astro Fighter Sunred got thrown around a lot around the time One Punch Man came out as a comedy show about overpowered superhero that has more than one joke. It's a gross comparison cause whoever said this lacked understanding of both OPM and Sunred if they thought the two are alike because the similarities are superficial. But this is not a comparison, just wanted a disclaumer if anyone came here from a similar recommendation. The two are different shows and whoever still thinks one is the other done right doesn't know what they're talking about.
Sunred is a short comedy show about a slob of a hero who has to keep on fighting villains who can't stand up to him and the villains have to endure the beating over and over in their hopes of successfully dominating the world. At least that's th…

I usually decide whether or not I will watch a series based on its art work. Whatever it was that made me try this series out, I'm very, very glad of it. It brought to me many minutes of hard laughter, and occasionally melt my heart.
Theres not much a story, since it is episodic. However there is plenty of merit in the anime's setting, character development and their interactions.
The art and animation is, at first glance very low quality, but this is to match the randomness and hilarity of the series. And it accomplishes this very well. It actually became cute and nostalgic for me. The sound was great in a similar sort of way. The voice actors are very good with their characters, and the opening and ending themes are well worth watching/reading the lyrics. (theres 2 slightly different o…

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 v…

In my opinion, this anime is really underrated. It has a reliefing atmosphere that makes you sit and watch it all day. It doesn't have a developed storyline, the setup is always the same, but it never gets boring. The artwork is really simple, they aren't even moving, but it's really fun to watch. The characters are giving it a wierd feel, and this is what it's based on.
Afterall Tentai Senshi Sunred is a simple yet unique anime which will surely make you laugh.

Do you want to watch a series that features heroic heroes, villainous villains and mind boggling fight scenes where every punch, kick or special move is lovingly crafted and animated? Are you looking for a show that has a gripping storyline where every twist and turn of the plot will leave you on the edge of your seat? Do you crave excitement, adventure, and a hero who can kick more arse than the combined might of Kenshiro, Goku, Ichigo, Naruto, and whoever else you'd care to name? If so, then Tentai Senshi Sunred is NOT the show for you.
On the other hand, if you want a lighthearted series that mocks many of the heroic stereotypes and has some of the best comedy sketches outside of Gintama, then this may be right up your street.
Tentai Senshi Sunred (or Astro Fighter Sunred if you prefe…

Tentai Senshi Sunred. Superhero of the ages. This is the story of the battle between good and evil that takes place within Kawasaki.
Let me just explain to you where I'm coming from before I start. I hate Japanese humor. I don't think it is funny, at all. But what surprised me is that I liked Sunred. The episodes are filled with good, clever writing, and humorous ideas, that while it rarely made me laugh out loud, gave me a nice smirk and a chuckle now and then. And that really surpassed all my expectations for the series.
This is more a slice of life about a the bum superhero Sunred, and his competently sweet, yet naive archnemesis General Vamp. While the story is basically nonexistant, with very little continuity, this is more a slice of life of the characters, who are all brilliantly…
