Such shows usually do not provide any [[Parental Bonus|deliberate]] [[Parent Service|treats]] for a [[Periphery Demographic]]. Because anyone watching will not do so for a long time, the showrunners can be tempted into [[Recycled Script|repeating many premises]] [[Fleeting Demographic Rule|they know the current audience will consider "new"]].

* Takara & [[Sunrise]]'s ''[[Brave Series (Anime)|Brave Series]]'' of [[Super Robot]] shows is an interesting case, as they originally set out to produce something that would attract a new generation of kids each year, but wound up developing a dedicated fanbase anyway. Though the sixth series, ''[[The Brave of Gold Goldran (Anime)|The Brave of Gold Goldran]]'', the most "kiddie" of the bunch had the highest TV ratings, it was unpopular with longtime fans and was apparently a merchandising disappointment as well. After that, the final two shows went for [[Multiple Demographic Appeal]], first with ''[[Brave Command Dagwon (Anime)|Brave Command Dagwon]]'', where the robots were piloted by a team of teen heartthrobs in an attempt to cash in on the earlier ''[[Ronin Warriors|Samurai Troopers]]'' series' [[Periphery Demographic]] success with teenage girls (a scheme Sunrise would again pull, this time with much greater success with ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing (Anime)|Mobile Suit Gundam Wing]]''). Then came ''[[
** [[Brave Command Dagwon (Anime)|Dagwon]] actually had a slightly different problem - it was made to cash in on [[Neon Genesis Evangelion (Anime)|Evangelion]], and the overall feel of the stories was frequently closer to [[Ultraman]] than anything else. If anything, the target audience ''had'' to grow up a bit to appreciate it.
* Much of the longevity of the ''[[Pokémon (Anime)|Pokémon]]'' anime can be attributed to the fact that the target demographic cycles in about five years so the fact that the same general plot is used every generation only serves to annoy some [[Periphery Demographic|older fans]] (mostly outside Japan).
