I always prefered stories where the kids have something to protect. Usually their homes, families, school, classmates. Thats what made the first half of season 3 so attractive._________You also had the comedy of trying to keep the existence of the digimon secret from the grownups. And seeing the families of the kids gave a lot of insight to their character. For instance Spirited Away was great because Chihiro wasn't just trying to save herself. She was also in a battle to save her parents, and latter Haku.______It was blatently romantic. And even though there was no time for a kiss much less sex. The 2 kids thought about each other constantly.________No matter how wild or outlandish the story, these elements ground the show in reality. Just like Lilo and Nami's dilema in Lilo and Stitch grounded that story in reality. And it gave them something to protect._________Protecting those you love, and romance make the story everytime.
