That's because we're two cool kids. Yep. 8)
More specifically, some other stuff I'd like to see in a 5th season.
-More distinctive characters. Junpai at least broke the skinny mold that all the kids fit oh-so-nicely into. Now can we get a fat girl as a character? Another interesting character would be someone who was parapalygic (parlysed from the waist down, but otherwise just fine). Get an independently-minded kid that's confined to a wheelchair and see what happens when he's thrust into another world and forced to rely on others.
-Shorter digivolving times. We don't need to see the whole 2-minute process everytime. We've only got 20-23 minutes per episode. This takes up valuable time and as far as I'm concerned, could be shortened.
-Actual romance? It wouldn't have to be serious, but if one character had a crush on another and it actually affected the plot (unlike the Daisuke-Takeru-Hikari thing, which was mysteriously abandoned halfway through and didn't amount to anything by the end) it could make for some good drama and some funny moments too.
-More teamwork and less flawless hero bullshit. I mean, if you're up against an incredibly powerful villiain, it's going to take more than just standing up and saying you're not afraid. It's going to take more than one person's will to escape death. Rather, I'd like to see more teamwork between the characters, and fewer resolutions of conflict via moments of "believing in yourself" or doing something couragous, etc.
-Perhaps a slight change in the visual style of the series? Granted, it's always been harder-edged, better detailed, and deeper in tone in than Pokemon, which is good, but maybe it's time for an upgrade.
