Looks like a martial arts TV show in the vein of Power Rangers in Japan, based off of the concept proposed in the movie Equilibrium of "gun katas."

I know that it's a type of live-action fiction show in Japan known as "sentai" (shows that later formed the basis for "Power Rangers")

...or are you looking for a more specific answer?

Yea, looks pritty much like power rangers to me. I remember japan came out with a stupid spiderman show that looked very much like power rangers. Too much cosplay, you know?

What do you mean live-action? Is it live or a film-series thing?

I mean, stuff like this.

I shouldn't have said live-action (no need to specify the obvious), but I meant to say a cartoony show with real people, unlike the other popular Japanese fiction series. (I didn't want to give you the impression, either, that it's a live-action/real people show based on an anime, like Great Teacher Onizuka.) I don't know if there is Power Rangers up in Italy, but if you've ever seen that, just think of that. Except more Japanese.

Well it seems not ::).

They're old series that made the "sentai" style popular, along with "Space Sheriff Gavan" and other Bioman series... The first one was made in 1966 or so I think, and was called Ultraman.

"Gunkata" was in Equilibrium...a lot of those same scenes (guy standing in the middle, and shooting guys in a circle by only moving his arms) were in the movie. Don't know which is older.
