Animetal Marathon V (アニメタル・マラソンⅤ Animetaru Marason Faibu?) is the fifth full length album by Japanese heavy metal band Animetal. Prior to the release of this album, guitarist She-Ja left the band. He was replaced by Syu, who has worked with metal bands Galneryus and Aushvitz. Animetal Marathon V marks the band's first release under their current label VAP. Tracks 2-17 cover anime themes from the 1960s to the 1980s. Tracks 18-34 cover tokusatsu themes also from that same era, including Super Sentai and Kamen Rider titles. Tracks 35-39 are covers of themes from Tatsunoko's Time Bokan series.

The album cover depicts the band trio as the Black Tri-Stars of the Mobile Suit Gundam series.
