is a programming block on the Japanese television network, TV Asahi, featuring new episodes of tokusatsu television series from the Super Sentai and Kamen Rider series. Both series have decades of history and have been intertwined in the public imagination for some time, not least of all because the driving creative force behind both was manga artist Shotaro Ishinomori and both were produced by the same production company, Toei Company; however, they did not air together until 2000 with ''Kamen Rider Kuuga'' and ''Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGoFive'' (which is later replaced by Mirai Sentai Timeranger), though at the time they were not acknowledged together. Super Hero Time airs every Sunday morning, from 7:30 to 8:30 JST. The block is shown all over Japan via the All-Nippon News Network. Though, in other prefectures, one or both shows can be seen on other stations which are not affiliated with ANN. ==History== Starting in the late 1960s, the hour was originally meant for educational children's programs. Over the years the hour began including henshin hero programs, one of the first being . On October 4, 1987, Toei's ''Choujinki Metalder'' was moved from a Monday evening 19:00 JST time slot to a Sunday morning 9:00 JST time slot, followed by a move of ''Kidou Keiji Jiban'' to 8:00 JST Sunday morning on April 2, 1989. Similarly, on April 6, 1997, ''Denji Sentai Megaranger'' was moved from a Friday evening 17:00 JST time slot to the Sunday morning 7:30 JST time slot, pairing it up with ''B-Robo Kabutack''. The ''Super Sentai'' Series programs would continue to air at 7:30 JST after the ''Metal Hero'' Series ended and ''Moero!! Robocon'' aired in its slot on January 31, 1999 and was followed by the premiere of ''Kamen Rider Kuuga'' on January 30, 2000. Although a ''Super Sentai'' Series and a ''Kamen Rider'' Series aired side-by-side, the Super Hero Time branding of the shows did not begin until the Autumn 2003 broadcast season (known as until the 2005 broadcast season). As part of the block, actors from the programs often interact with each other to promote each other's shows, films, and perform skits. Satoru Akashi (Mitsuomi Takahashi) and Souji Tendou (Hiro Mizushima) talked about each other's universes, and Master Xia Fu (voiced by Ichirō Nagai) often showed up on the Den-Liner to talk with the Imagin and Ryotaro Nogami (Takeru Satoh) in cartoonish caricatures. The 2008 broadcast introduced new changes to the block, including scenes from the show's episode. For the 2009 television season, ''Kamen Rider Decade'' only aired for 31 episodes, allowing for the broadcast of ''Kamen Rider W'' for a full 49 episode run. This has introduced an offset of five months between the series premieres of the yearly ''Super Sentai'' Series (which premieres in mid February) and ''Kamen Rider'' Series (which premiered in early September since then), instead of an approximate month long offset that had existed before (''Kamen Rider'' Series premiered in mid-January). This offset was shortened to four months after the finale of the 53 episode-long ''Kamen Rider Wizard'', delaying the premiere of subsequent ''Kamen Rider'' Series to early October. Since 2014, a special one hour episode featuring both the ''Super Sentai'' and ''Kamen Rider'' series running at the time airs on late March, called the . The ''Super Hero Time'' block is part of the larger block, which begins at 7:00 JST with a Mētele-produced shōnen anime (currently ''Brave Beats'') and ends at 9:00 JST after the airing of an ABC Television-produced shōjo anime (currently the ''Pretty Cure'' series). All of the shows are properties of Bandai Visual, who also sponsors the block. While ''Super Hero Time'' began airing with such anime in its inception, the "Nichi Asa Kids Time" branding did not begin until March 4, 2007. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Super Hero Time」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
