There is no official or commonly-used term for "serialized Tokusatsu anime" yet coz the rising phenomenon was relatively brand new (started in the 2010s with
Garo - The Animation in 2014) and the number of toku-anime are still few & far between for them to be considered a subgenre. When I said "toku-anime", I basically just shortened the "Tokusatsu anime" beacuse, again, no commonly-used term yet.

S4.Dynazenon is actually pretty unique for toku-anime coz there is no superhero in the show like
S4.Gridman, Garo &
Ultraman anime. Instead, the show focuses on one of Gridman's Assist Weapons. If you want a comparison, it's like if Saban makes an animated spin-off of
Power Rangers but only featuring the
Dragonzord as the hero figure without any costumed superhero present.
Will the entire show feel like a regular Super Robot anime? Well, that's really relative. For me,
S4.Dyna already have that unique Gridman feel all over it that other Super Robot shows don't have.

I never said that anime can't have cool gadgets, good characters and good stories. I said that most Tokusatsu shows only have to do those three things really well for them to be successful. Not titillation.
