So what? Just because something is popular doesn't mean my view is invalid. There's a lot of popular stuff out there that is straight junk. (Not Den-O; I won't call it junk but I'm not a big fan of it for several reasons. I do like that they were trying something different though)

I agree that Ohranger...is a disaster as a result...but it was still the best thing to do for the target audience.

This is the first time I'm hearing about people doing that. I only knew about the sarin gas attack in the Tokyo subway. Where did you read anything about pleasing adults in what I wrote? What I said Ohranger could have done would have been just as much for the kids, if not more than for adults.

Honestly, I'm really sick of the "kids' show" argument that I've seen for years. It's just a way to end a conversation and stop thinking. "Oh it's for kids, you're not the target audience so it doesn't matter what you say." Why bother even having online forums, then? Yet at the same time the fandom likes to extol what Japanese shows can get away with as opposed to American shows. Well, if that's the case, then maybe it's worth discussing when Japan falls short of the their previously established mark?
