⚫ | * ''[[Mazinger Z]]'' – {{Years or months ago|1972}}: Manga came around in 1972. An anime show and a second, manga series parallel to the original one were made in that same year, two sequels and several movies in that same decade, a related animé show ([[God Mazinger]]) in the eighties, an OVA series and movie in 2001 and a reboot in 2009. And then you have to count several alternate manga versions and one-shots produced throughout four decades. And this year [[Go Nagai|the creator]] [[Word of God|has stated]] he intends to make more Mazinger manga and anime. |

It does have a series of crossover films between different teams set outside the television continuity (the ''Super Sentai Versus Series'') and the [[Milestone Celebration|35th series]], ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]]'', was a ''year-long'' crossover involving all the previous teams. If you count it, it's the longest running sci-fi program in the world just by number of years, and the fact that it airs an episode a week with no Summer break (nearly 1,800 episodes and counting) means it vastly exceeds most rivals' lengths in total airtime, including ''[[Doctor Who]]''. |
