See, that what I mean though, those are weaksauce complaints that people wouldn't even make if they weren't going through withdrawal from how much they liked Gaim. Nitpicks at best.

"Very lighthearted" isn't a grievance, it's just a description of the show, and it's not even a particularly appropriate one at that. Sure, it's got a lot of comedy, but the threats are always real, and there are some serious moments even very early on, and that differentiates it from being straight-up "lighthearted".

The Shift Cars are a matter of personal taste, though. I thought they were what the little gadget dudes in W and the like wish they were. I think it's really cool they bothered to humanize glorified Hot-Wheels cars with actual personalities but without going overboard and making them talk or something stupid like that.

Like, having your protagonist find himself relating to a toy car's story of how he also lost his crime-fighting buddy and is really mopey about it? Total genius, in my book.
