I'm fed up with people calling this a kid's anime! It has great characters, and excellent sub plots! Afterall, it has a lot of touching storylines;

Matt leaving the group because he's scared of harming them, and wnats to strike out on his own
Ken losing his brother, becoming the Digimon Emperor and searching for redemption
Impmon's tamers fighting all the time, until he ran away
Koichi searching for Koji and his father, becoming evil, and giving Koji his darkness spirits when he gets deleted, before almost dying in the real world.

And that's just the start....

I'd hate to say this, but Digimon IS a kid's anime. Even in Japan it's for kids. The difference is in our cultures. What Japan considers to be for kids isn't always what America considers to be for kids. That's why a lot of anime series get so heavily edited when they're brought over to the U.S. because the American companies are trying to keep the same target audience that series had in Japan (like with Sailor Moon). But just because a series has a lot of touching moments in it doesn't mean it's not a kid's anime.

If Digimon weren't a kid's anime, there would be tons of violence with bodyparts flying all over the place, tons of nudity and sexual content and stuff like that, but Digimon is an innocent series that can be watched by all ages because it's for kids. That's why Digimon has been aired no such networks like Fox KIDS, ABC FAMILY, and Toon Disney. Disney movies have a lot of touching moments in them too and those are kid's movies. However, just because a series is made for kids doesn't mean that it can't be watched by adults. Nobody ever said that adults can't watch children's anime, but Digimon IS a children's anime. I like Digimon and I'm an adult but I'm not afraid to admit that it's for kids. If people have a problem with me watching kid's shows, then they can just stuff it.

HATE to break it to you but THAT is a terrible explanation of a anime for teens or adults. i believe Digimon to be a anime for Teens, NOT kids. i think a majority of the anime is aimed for teens. 10 year olds minimum, 13 year olds and up its basically aimed at.

and i've been a fan of the series for years, i always thought it knocked the socks off pokÃ©mon

I tried watching Pokemon when it was so popular and I hated it. Digimon is so much better! It has a better story and I like the animation when they go 3D.

Pokemon was only made to get money off the parents of little kids..

yup true true, it was a nintendo game first too, i believe, then they made the show

i liked digimon too~ i dont see the eng dub coz its as good as rubbish (sg dubbed it--duh) but i see the chinese version (hk i think)~~and it was great~

i like all the openings but tamer's "biggest dreamer" is my fav~~though frontier's storyline is the most dramatic imo~ i dint quite like digimon 02 coz the graphics got outa my liking~

have any1 seen the digimon movies? i think that the tamer's train troubs is the best coz i juz like the song ruki sang~~i dint know she could sing seriously....but when she does, itz really nice~

monkey · « **Reply #13 on:** April 14 2005, 12:55 pm »

O_O the english dub was great

Tune · « **Reply #14 on:** April 14 2005, 01:04 pm »

i was refering to singapore's eng dub, its really un-nice~

monkey · « **Reply #15 on:** April 14 2005, 01:59 pm »

i agree- i watched digimon before ccs, and though i love ccs more!!- digimon was another gr8 animation- tho i didnt like the english subbed at all- they cut too much out! hoping to see the chinese version- and see what it is abt. like for the movie- the ppl cut the main storyline out and- it wasnt till i read the back intro on the vid that i realised that it didnt match what was on the video- it get me!! i love digimon- but im a takari fan!!! why didnt they get together??

tho i prefered the season 1 and 2- the origina digidestined then the newer ones! Digimon, i believe is more action then romance. well, thats my opinion- i dont care if its a kids anime- i love it!! ^_^ lolzz hee hee

i saw WB's dub before and it was very nice compared to sg's

if WB is nice, sg's crap, really~

I can still remember the saturday that they started showing the first season over here. O_o

Oh, and Season 1 is definitely my favorite. ^^

Tune · « **Reply #19 on:** April 15 2005, 01:11 am »

but its really a pity that digimon adventures fared better than digimon02 coz digimon02 is suppose to be the sequel or somesort~
