ok i see what you say

but the thing is a sentai producer said that sentai is for 3 to 5 year olds. no one has ever said anything like that about shounen. another thing is the sentai games have no effort put into them unlike the shounen games.

Oh really now? Are you telling me you've read every interview with every Shonen Jump author in history that you can totally confirm that they none of them ever said this?

And why the hell would they even need to tell us what the target audience is when the magazine is literally called "Weekly Publication for (Male) Children"?

You sound like you're just in denial now. Or do you have some sort of agenda to dictate what kids should or should not watch/read?

 

[Kamen rider sol]

ok you know what

this is getting nowhere. how about this: You think shonen is meant for kids, i think it is more meant for young teenagers. end of discussion.

 

[Shynilyte]

Pretty sure things like the intended audience is not up to opinion. There is a right and wrong here, to an extent.

 

[Shynilyte]

To clarify: whether or not something is appropriate for children may be less than objective, considering that ratings boards in different countries might give different ratings. But the intended audience of the writers/publishers/producers is something they decide themselves. Saying this is up to opinion is like going "I think that guy wanted fries even though he said 'onion rings' and didn't object after the cashier gave him those". Or something like, I dunno, telling someone "I think you want to go bowling". In either case, if the person in question did not want it, then the "thought" was wrong.

This.

To the OP: You like kids' stuff. That's perfectly fine. No one's judging you. Whether you like it or not, facts are facts, and the evidence is there.

I'm not really sure what Sentai and video games has to do with a discussion about Gundams but…

In the end it doesn't really matter what intended age group the show is marketed toward, as the franchise draws in a huge following of fans from all age groups.

Sol, If it's something you enjoy, it really doesn't matter what other people think and there's no shame in that.

Not really... :sweat: Spin-off games are usually relatively meh.

I don't see what this argument was all about.

Shows you mention ARE directed at kids, but there is nothing wrong with enjoying em. A lot of people different ages around the world enjoy this stuff. It doesn't really matter cause a lot of adults and teens in Japan love Gundam and One Piece and all that stuff too.

And you are on a forum discussing Tokusatsu shows so don't know why you feel the need to defend "shounen shows" so much haha. :anime:
