I like Kamen Rider for having a serious story and tone to it since that's how the original shows would do. The original Kamen Rider was about a man losing his humanity after becoming a cyborg while fighting against evil. That's one of the reasons what got me into Kamen Rider is the subtext in the stories. What I have been enjoying from Build so far is the general themes and tone of the show. Yeah it does have some goofy stuff in it, but I don't mind it time to time.

I don't mind fun campy stuff once and a while, but I have my limits on how lighthearted it can be.

You know that Toku is just more than Kamen Rider and Sentai right? Not to mention, there are Toku that don't have superheroes or any giant monsters in them too. I join this forum because I enjoy talking about Toku and it was the only decent one that was still active.

Honestly, the whole "Oh it's for kids, you're not the target audience so it doesn't matter what you say." is pretty much true. We are not kids in Japan watching these shows. So they are not going to care. It reminds me how people on Kanzenshuu where about Dragon Ball Super when Dragon Ball is for kids just as much as Kamen Rider is.

While we may not be the main demographic for these shows, I do agree that they should put effort in these shows and still appeal to a wilder audience. Something like Kamen Rider has substance to it while stuff like Teen Titans Go, Ben 10 and most American cartoons fallen under the bargain bin label in my opinion (Stuff that no one really cares about anyways).
