The "Kamen Rider Ripoff" looks less like a Kamen Rider and more like an oooolllllldschool Japanese demon, straight out of classical paintings and woodcuts to me. I think that jives with DaiMajin's aesthetic pretty well and I enjoy the way Japanese shows somehow managed to blend high drama and comdey really well together. Like Iron King, Cutie Honey the Live or Bio Planet WoO - both have some very silly moments mixed with lots of deadly serious ones. I forget, did you like The Host, MFW? DaiMajin Kannon doesn't look terribly kiddiefied to me at all. I can't imagine why it would be, given that it is a late-night series.
