Toei Tokusatsu Continuity Guide
This is a list with every TV series, movie, special, etc. in the Kamen Rider Series, Super Sentai Series, Metal Heroes Series, and the Toei Tokusatsu Multiverse. Mind you, any series that aren't Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, or Metal Heroes do not have very major plot bearing upon the anniversary/crossover films they are featured in. I will make a google doc that is a bit easier to understand if you just want a simple watch order. Said google doc will also include certain stage shows that are not on MDL, as MDL doesn't technically allow stage shows on their database but there are several here. Several more canon ones however are not on the database and often include vital plot details. The link to the doc will be posted here when completed. This list is mainly to help people make their own watch order by not only saying when to watch something but describing what it is. For example, if it is a clip show or non-canon comedy series, someone can decide whether or not they want to watch it.
Sources:
Other Shotaro Ishinomori tokusatsu productions will be added at a later date. This is primarily for Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, and by extension Metal Heroes, as they are the longest and most in demand and popular Toei tokusatsu series. In addition, they are the most in continuity with each other.
