So much philosophy I feel like I've got my head stuck in an ice cream koan.

OK, if the standard response to criticism is going to be "Fuck you, I need my GRIMDERP edgyness", then I'm out.

Sorry for wasting everyone's time.

Will all think differently my friend. Embrace the creativity, don't push it away :)


Because taking characters from Space Pirate Captain Harlock and changing the names a bit is creativity?

None of us have the right to bag or question another's creativity, it seems to me like he/she was just adding a bit of reality to the show. Hydra had no problem with it so I see no reason for the rest of us to. In the grand scheme of things its up to the Pirate King, so lets all get ready to enjoy this wonderful and magical RP ^^. I can't wait to Gokai Change! by the way.


Because when I think of a show that has giant robots, aliens, space pirates and the like in it, the first thing I think is "this needs GRIMDARK realism".

Honestly, is it so serious that she needs to change up her CS? It is a show aimed at children in America, but Hydra didn't call it Super Megaforce or whatever, its called Gokaiger; albeit with some odd mixture of English translation and Japanese originality lol. I don't think its that big of a deal, most of our characters are old enough for it.


It's a show aimed at children in Japan too. It aired as part of the Bandai-sponsored "Nichi Asa Kizzu Taimu / Sunday Morning Kids Time" block, alongside shows like Suite Pretty Cure♪. So yes, while there are mature things in it, and on Japanese TV you can get away with having death in a kids show, I think having a character being a former sex slave is more than a little bit too heavy for something based on a thing that is, at heart, a TV show aimed at selling toys to children.

The Gokaigers probably had some of the same things going on, they just hid them or simply didn't talk about them.


You do realise we're talking about a show aimed at children here?
I guess there's only one thing left to do.

Any response to the issues I raised?
OK, my interest is starting to wane. I mean, Gokaiger wasn't exactly a light-hearted show, but addictive drugs and implied sexual slavery? That's just... No.
OK, with that in mind I might have to rejig my backstory.
