[QUOTE="Super Kami Guru, post: 793, member: 22"] Oh absolutely, I think the first couple of seasons they just produced a genuine anime and were caught a bit off guard when it became the success it was globally, and since the vast majority of the audience that took to it were kids they skewed hard towards them and pushed that as their core demographic moving forward. It's a shame, because there are parts to the original series that were good to watch that just don't exist in the new stuff. I mean I remember being younger and watching Bye Bye Butterfree and feeling sorry for Ash for letting Butterfree go, or feeling upset when he left Pikachu behind to live with his own kind. Sure, I was much younger then so I guess it was easier to get a youngster to emote, but I can't see the modern stuff doing that in any way. The voice actors don't have the range for anything beyond "I'm gonna' win everything!" and "aww man, I'm hungry." I don't see them having the depth to do anything more than that. Nor should they, really, since it is a kids' show. [/QUOTE]
