And yes Sentai was always meant for kids but the old shows were also meant to be watched by Teenagers and adults. Those shows werent just meant for Kids. Thats why they had more violence and overall more adult material in them to keep the older demographic interested. Thats also why they aired later in the day and not in the morning.

Here in germany its pretty much the same thing. TV Channels arent allowed to show PG-13 material during the day. Channels are only allowed to show them after 6 pm. If they wanna show a movie like Transformers before that the Channels have to censor them so they can get a PG rating.

Convoy pretty much summed it all up and best. Sentai and Kamen Rider has always been aimed towards kids, it's just that Sentai is sold as more of a kids show. Let me put it this way, Sentai is like the original Ninja Turtles cartoon and Kamen Rider is like the first Ninja Turtles movie. Both are meant for kids, but the movie is a bit more oriented towards the older crowd.

Besides, does it really matter? Yes it is fun to see the destruction a monster causes both in terms to buildings and people, but it's not like it makes or breaks the show or the character.
