Armor Hero Series
The Armor Hero Series (Chinese: 铠甲勇士系列; pinyin: Kǎijiǎ Yǒngshì Xìliè, lit. "Armor Warrior Series") was a popular Chinese tokusatsu action drama series made and produced by Alpha Animation Co,. Ltd and Herobox Studio that originally ran from 2008 to 2018.[1] Much like with Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, the Ultra Series, or Metal Hero, each show has their own stories (and sometimes continuities) within them as well as their own trends and tropes. It's set in the same universe as another Chinese tokusatsu series, Battle Strike Team, which many have considered it to be the Chinese equivalent to Super Sentai with Armor Hero being considered closer to both Kamen Rider and Metal Hero. The series often combines Chinese mythology and traditions in each show including utilizing elements (e.g. fire, earth, water, metal, and wood).[2] The show is typically aimed at a younger audience, although with most tokusatsu shows anyone can get into it and has proven to be a popular show during its run.[3]
As of now it is uncertain if there will be any more shows after Armor Hero Hunter, however there was a proposed movie tied to this season though it is currently undated.
