Petition for a second season of Dragon Knight!

[TPatricio]

I know that this is a great serie, and because of it i spend two hours only seeing it.
Now i have created a petition to give to this serie a second season, if anyone want sign, go to gopetition.com and search for mine petition in petitions in focus on Arts & Entertainment

I doubt this campaign will have too much effect.


1. The target audience wasn't very interested in the product. The ratings for years-old episodes of Sonic X were higher than Dragon Knight premieres.

2. The investment for Adness wasn't returned. They completed filming the series before even finding a network to air it on. They'd never take the chance of that again, especially with The CW, the only strong taker the first time, no longer being interested.

3. Filming was completed in 2007. It's almost 2011, and the actors some would expect to see again may want to move on to new things.

4. The toys sold horribly. The Power Rangers TV series has lasted as long as it has because for the most part, the action figures and such have maintained their market. Without strong toy sales, Kamen Rider has no future on our shores.


Business decisions are made with profit in mind, always. If people didn't watch the show to begin with, I don't see why they'd sign an internet petition now. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's the bottom line.

They should have just put it on the Disney channel, where there are more shows with actual actors instead of animation. Or better yet, they should have just made it for an older audience and put it on the Scifi channel.

You have to have more confidence than that. Internet petitions are a dime a dozen and not a single one has accomplished anything ever, except waste time.

Dragon Knight was dead before it aired. There was no way in hell that you were going to get every main actor back for a second season.

Any future American KR will be stand on its own with no ties to any previous American KR.

downside Ignis...again who would watch it? I know we would but unfortunetly most see it as a rip-off of power rangers wich in turn gave it bad reviews. The main issue lies with bandai america and how they made the series too much like power rangers. I am sure if they did it differently and made it more like its japanese counterpart it might do better...a big MIGHT. But more than likely it will remain a japanese show...hell even ultraman didnt do well years ago..like masked rider. Seems it was poor managment and storyline. Granted i liked masked rider but well...it was cancelled before it could be fully completed. Good thing they did get some airtime alongside power rangers

What I hate is how everybody makes such a big deal about the "original" Power Rangers. Am I the only person who hates 90's PR with a passion?

[Kamen Rider Dragoon]

Probly. Granted i liked it when i was a kid because it was a good show and i liked watching the action. Now that i look back i notice a few things that well...i dont like. Anywho its just people's taste

[Ignis]

Either it's because I only watched it during the Disney era, or I just have no sense of nostalgia.

ANYWAYS, it's obviously gotten to the point where no toku can succeed in America unless it's introduced as a comedic parody of Power Rangers. I wouldn't mind if they did that to Kamen Rider, perhaps they could just dub the actual Japanese footage instead of hiring a bunch of non-Asian actors. And instead of being true to Kamen Rider, they could make it entirely different. I think this idea of Kamen Rider would be successful on Comedy Central.

If an internet petition could not end Uwe Boll's career, it's not going to bring back Dragon Knight.
