Digimon
« on: April 14 2005, 04:19 am »
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.
When her leathery, crow-footed face turned towards my raised hand and said, “Yes, the boy in the Sailor Mercury t-shirt,” I sprung into action. It took me a brief 20 seconds to acquire the bokken (wooden sword) I had secured to the underside of our chairs with duct tape the night previous. Shouting “Japan BANZAIII!” in the manner of those noble kamikaze pilots from the War of United States Aggression (so tactlessly referred to in your history books as “World War II”), I charged the stage, bringing down the bokken forcefully onto the plywood table in front of Tiffany Grant. It was a tragic mistake not to channel my ki correctly. The bokken splintered into a thousand pieces, leaving me with no other plan of attack besides shouting, “You’re no Asuka!” as two Ohayocon toughs escorted me out of the room-SomethingAwful.com

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 pokémon

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. :D

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

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
