After rereading my post, I worry I may have been needlessly harsh on Mikazuki. Just so you know, I'm not attacking your preferences. Just expressing my disagreement. Now that that's out of the way...

I did 4 years of play/screenwriting at NYU, so I'm with you to an extent. It's why I watch shows like KR and SS to begin with -- they rarely ask to be held to a high critical standard, so watching them is a well-deserved break for my typically overtaxed critical faculties.

But... when a show screams out, "take me seriously," I can't help but respond in kind. Mikazuki wants to be taken seriously. It's pitch is essentially, "tokusatsu done right, for grown ups." As a consequence, I apply the critical eye I usually withhold from Super Sentai and Kamen Rider.

The results were... not in Mikazuki's favor.
