Animetal Marathon II: Tokusatsu Collection (アニメタル・マラソンⅡ ～特撮編～, Animetaru Marason Tsū ~Tokusatsu Hen~^?) is the second album by Japanese heavy metal band Animetal. This album focuses on the theme songs of tokusatsu series (special effects Japanese television dramas) from the 1970s and was released in February of 1998. A karaoke version of this album was also released.

"Let's Go! Rider Kick," "Fight! Kamen Rider V3," "Setup! Kamen Rider X," "Amazon Rider is Here," "Song of Kamen Rider Stronger," and "Burn! Kamen Rider" were recorded separately as a marathon EP titled Tokusatsu de Ikou!

Like the first marathon CD, some songs incorporate guitar riffs from well-known hard rock and heavy metal songs. Most notable is "Fight! The Incredible Bibyoon," which uses the guitar riff of Van Halen's "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love."

During its initial release, Animetal Marathon II came with a second disc containing the band's songs for the 1997 anime film Rurouni Kenshin: Ishin Shishi he no Requiem.
