The younger audience is why I think the humor from Wizard onwards has tended more towards slapstick, shouting, and wacky facial expressions. Thirdly, I strongly suspect that the last couple shows have really ratcheted up the humor as a response to how bleak Gaim got by the end, which was pretty alienating to the younger kid audience.

Actually, Drive was pretty mature, and I have a vibe that it will be the same with this series. In any case, the main reason why KR is made in this way it's because they make a lot of money form the toy, and the general target of this merchandise is younger people
