Why do you love digimon?

[Herr Mullen]

I liked the drawing style. The closest thing I can find to it is Serial Experiments Lain. The backgrounds have little dashes of colours; the two that stick in my head are the television station, where there are all these greys and such, and the jungle, in which there are dashes and stars of green, brown and black. In Lain, it's only the shadows, and those aren't really the same: swimming red on black. It really is totally original.

The main reason, however, is series two. Goodness knows it isn't the movie. Series two was great fun: there were jokes you had to pay attention to get (such as jam doughnuts and a swimming pool) and there was Ken. He was fantastic, especialy as the Digital Kaizer and then in that transitional period when Wormon (another fantastic reason) was dead. That was fantastic. There are far too many comtempory cartoon that are just there to be wacky and funny, like those ones with the thick outlines and far too catchy theme tunes. however, Digimon actualy looks at ethical issues, such as The Kaizer; was Ken to blame for his deeds? Had he been punished enough? Should he have even been punished? It was educational. Then there's the whole "should we kill the digimon?" issue in series one. Usualy, earlier works are best for that sort of thing. Watership Down, for example, though that is far more terrifying than Digimon.
