Shinesman...

Sometime ago, I picked up the VHS version of Shinesman...
The Special Duty Combat Unit Shinesman. Hiroya Matsumoto, hoping to become a great employee like his late father, has just been hired at Right Corporation, a top trading company. Little does he know that he's been recruited for a very mysterious department within the company - the Special Duty Combat Unit: SHINESMAN... which must face a terrible alien menace unbeknownst to Earth. Like most corporate employees, Hiroya still has meetings to attend and deadlines to meet, but when the SHINESMAN team wage war against the alien race from the Planet Voice, Hiroya and his co-workers don their office-colored combat unit suits: sepia, gray, moss green red and salmon pink.
Shinesman is basically an animated version of Power Rangers with a bunch of characters that look like Clark Kent. It's supposed to be a comedy. There are a few good moments, but, the action scenes are little more than still shots and there aren't any cool visuals. I used to have the subtitled VHS version. In the aftermath of the Ultimate Otaku Fall Cleanup, I decided not to keep it in my archive. I gave Shinesman a 0 out of 5.
