I know, they're monsters and most of them are trying to destroy the world so it's fine to use violence no matter what bad things they do. But I'm afraid kids might get things wrong. First, I'm afraid kids might use violent to whoever they don't like without trying to think another way to solve their problems. Second, kids will think that the actions and the weapons are cool, I'm afraid that kids will try to demonstrate it because they think whatever the heroes do are right and they wanted to be like them. I think that's a bad thing for them and also dangerous. Because of this I always try to avoid them to watch this kind of shows until they understand what they shouldn't do and what they should.

Many have broached this matter regarding P.R. a thousand times over! I've since realized that while Tokusatsu tends to operate under different censorship guidelines in Japan, the same arguments might still apply.

I do believe that some Toku shows are too extreme for kids and many should wait before seeing the more serious material, but not all Toku (including but not limited to P.R.) falls under a "one-size-fits-all" banner!

I also recommend the "Ultimate Visual History" for P.R., more specifically Pages 17 & 38.

I apologize for the low-quality.
