Why We Rated This for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

• Educational value:

  The show is intended to entertain rather than educate.
• Messages:

  No clear/obvious positive messages, but nothing terribly iffy, either, aside from the tendency for violent solutions to conflicts. Clear distinction between good and evil.
• Role models:

  A young boy must be a hero when he's thrust to the forefront of a longstanding rivalry between good and evil. His adoptive father/mentor is fiercely protective of him but can do nothing to stop his involvement in the battle.

What to watch out for

• Violence & scariness:

  Mostly fantasy in nature, as the enemies are usually robots of some kind, but there's a lot of punching, kicking, falling, and knocking opponents into walls. Human injuries are rare, and those that do occur are quickly resolved, but robots are often broken into pieces or left smoldering on the ground.
• Sexy stuff:

  Very mild flirting between a boy and a girl.
• Language:

  Not an issue.
• Consumerism:

  Not an issue.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Not an issue.
