But fear not, since quite recently we had another show about superheroes and this one had lots of pretty colors. Unfortunately, almost nobody knows of it and the rest don’t talk about it because it didn’t have pretty colors. And it managed to do all that with a low budget. And the name of that anime was… Tentai Senshi Sunred, a very fun and self-aware plotless comedy that even bothered to make the main villains seem like sympathetic fellows, instead of generic monsters of the week that get blown up in a few seconds. It was about an unemployed and bored of his own life superhero, casually defeating any monster that attacked him. The reason Toriyama eventually dropped the parody and turned it into a fighting shonen was because he realized the joke of an unbeatable protagonist got old very fast.So, fast forward a few decades and a satire of superheroes came out, in a way that had never been done before. And the name of that show is… Dragon Ball, back when Goku was a kid. It’s about a protagonist so strong, to the point he can beat any opponent with one punch. There is this show that does things like none other.
