how is Donbrothers faring?

Post by Sinkuu »

this is mainly for Luna, since I know she's "the source".

I know Super Hero Time is generally a kid's show... and cultural differences aside....

how is Donbrothers doing, compared to Super Sentai series of the past?? I know they're venturing into different territory here. I know I'm scratching my head at some of the plotlines (like SS has ever really had them, but....)

are people looking at DonBrothers going "wtf" in japan?

lol, thanks for the compliment?

Kid-wise I think it's about the same as usual. A lot of kids don't have a long frame of reference for Sentai so they're not too attached to the tropes. My three-year-old keeps asking for Donbro bandages lol

Adult-wise it seems it's doing fairly well? I feel like JP fans are less prone to nitpick things that have foreign fans complaining (myself included). Granted, the comments I browsed through tended to note that they still had no idea what was going on in the show.

How about with Revice? Also do they show the penises for Thermae Novae Romae in Japan? It's just a white circle in the American Netflix

Honestly I haven't been following Revice so idk

I dunno about Thermae, but you can't show dongs on broadcast tv, so it's probably censored except maybe on the DVD?

I thought not being able to show dongs was Japan's thing!

To be fair, I'm pretty sure that's by design. Inoue is definitely writing Donbros as if it's a Rider show, with a slowly-developing plot.
Seen:
Super Sentai: Fiveman onwards
Kamen Rider: Ichigou-Skyrider, all the Heisei/Reiwa series except the American shows.
Precure: DokiDoki-Go Pri
Metal Heroes: Gavan
Other: Spiderman, Power Rangers
