When I first saw Flashman I was struck by how, emotionally, the characters were just overgrown ten-year-olds.
I don't think Flashman is any worse of a show for that. I actually think the tricks it uses to make little kids identify with adult characters are quite clever.
Wait a minute Wait a minute Wait minute...there's toys...and they're clearly marketed towards children...I thought they were clearly meant for me :O_O: Being 18 and all...well I am shockdededed :sly:
Hibiki is the finest example of how polarized the toku fandom is, some want action, epic plotlines and focus on the rider, others want depth and character development :anime:
To be fair Hibiki in no way lacked fight scenes more then say Faiz or Kiva. I guess some people just don't like the idea of having to beat on a monster like a drum.
