Ive found this very un true over the years. Ive seen countless adults shot gun through the HD collections that became super fans by the end of it. Kingdom Hearts is a family friendly series that any newcomer can come to love if they give it an honest chance
The thing about Kingdom Hearts is that if you didn't get on the train in the 00's, then you simply are left behind. It is too corny to work without the context of operating in a world of myspace-era truthisms, and its thrills can be found in other franchises with less homework.
