No, in the digital era where eight year olds are tweeting on smart phones and raised with more awareness it’s not appealing.
My little brothers always ask me to change the channel when Samurai comes on, I asked them why, and they told me it sucked and the same thing happens each episode and they can’t figure out how an explosion way behind the good guys is hurting them.
Just ignore him, it’s ignorant to think all cartoons/shows are just catered toward a children demographic. I doubt Spongebob lasted this long on kid power alone.
There is no denying they care more about the kids than 23 year olds, but if they cared enough to bring back so many elements from MMPR, that shows they had SOME intention of making that shit appealing to adults as well. Final product was still trashy.
Ain’t a KID out there who got excited when Paul Shrier got announced to come back. AYO and I? I can guarantee you we were jumping up and down.
Nostalgia factor was pretty damn high, bummed it’s been more or less a trash run for Samurai so far. Interested in seeing if the Japanese series is better though.
A lot of people rave about Shinkenger. I personally wasn’t big on it. I can’t tell you why exactly.
Then Goseiger I didn’t enjoy the fact that the kids were so young and I don’t enjoy a card system. And the girls were mad annoying.
Gokaiger is clearly so fucking superior to everything.
Samurai is alright. The only mistake Saban is making with this series is showing episodes out of order. Confuses the hell out of the audience (especially with that RPM crossover and showing Jaden with the power up). I can see Saban going back to the MMPR roots with Samurai and its working (ratings are up for the show and better than what it was during the latter parts of PR being with Disney). Next series will probably back in form and be serious and flow better.
Gokaiger is prettty much done. I’m just guessing either they get a Next Gen morph at one point as a promo or the keys is for the eventual Gokaiger/Gobuster team up.
Shame, need to catch up and finish the series then. Fingers crossed Gobuster is good, though their outfits in that teaser image is very Kamen Rider like.
