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.

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.
