Which is why I said I am going to pray to the gods it is well written. Wizard's themes and designs make up for the lack of solid writing. Fourze had solid writing to back up the lacking designs. OOO had great designs and characters to back up the poor writing. W had both designs and great writing to back up the average effects. OOO had bad writing? When did this happen? In my opinion I love OOO so much, and from what I've seen of Fourze so far has had the poor writing

In that pretty much about 90% of OOO is actually completely pointless - as in real pointless not just toku pointless. It has lots of great ideas and great characters but it was clear no one had actually planned any of this and was chucking random shit at the series and hoping something sticks. So that meant garbled and contradicted mythology, completely useless villains, drowning us in form changes that are actually pretty much redundant by the end. Etc etc.

Hate to break it to you, but I hated Den-O. It was a children's anime in Kamen Rider form. Den-O is the series where Kamen Rider became dumbed down and has not had anything truly adult serious since. I'm not saying every series has to be serious, but we have not had anything like Kuuga-Blade since Den-O.
Also, at this point being around the fandom since shortly before Den-O was revealed, some of you guys need to chill the hell out. The design of the suits and their motifs are no indication of the quality of the show to come. Keep that in mind. Last edited by Rider Strike; 07-24-2013 at 03:58 AM.. |

You don't like Den-O, Fine. You bitch about the tone in recent years, Fine. However I've been hearing the call for a "serious" tone for so damn long that it bugs the ever loving shit out of me. These shows are made for kids, they don't have to be "adult serious". As a kid, I'd rather have fun seeing the heroes beat up the bad guys and save the day while begging my parents for the new toys, not be confused by some dark and complex plot that I can't really follow until I'm older. Just because the show isn't very serious or complex, it doesn't mean that it is dumbed down, it means that more people can enjoy it, from fans to the kids who are watching it every Sunday. At the end of the day, it's really about what works for the kids, not us.

The whole grimdark shit rarely works anyway but especially in Toku, a genre that is inherently goofy in its construction, has to lighten up to a point or it just fails.

How do Japan ratings work? I know in the US they are basically waiting to cancel shows if they drop even like 0.1 million over the course of like a week but I've out of curiosity seen some toku track ridiculously low figures, even if you account this is Japan and not the US and it seems these shows still soldier on regardless.
