Nobody remembers this one. A five-person investigation unit in 1999 Japan solving paranormal cases with real vehicles and animated character moments, it's the show that existed in the gap between tokusatsu spectacle and anime storytelling, fully committed to neither, fully itself. The mix of live-action hardware and drawn human drama creates an uncanny texture that modern shows chase but never quite catch. You're watching five kids confront things that don't fit into either format, which means they don't fit into the world either. That's the whole point.

In 1999, a unit of five young people is formed to investigate mysterious and paranormal events. Strange phenomena are waking creatures inside ancient ruins around the world, and the members of Team Tansar must fight these enemies of humanity. Running 34 episodes, the 1979 science fiction adventure pairs drawn animation for the character drama with live tokusatsu model footage for its vehicle scenes.
