I grew up watching pokemon and digimon quite a bit, however pokemon dominated most of my childhood when it comes to cartoons, along with dragon ball Z. I remembered really liking digimon though, so a few years ago when the show was still on Netflix I decided to rewatch it, at least the first two seasons, and it was better than I remembered! I personally like it way more than the Pokemon anime, even though the theme song is pretty bad in comparison to the original pokemon theme song.
Some things that I love about digimon is that the who is not afraid to tackle more mature issues, like divorce, self-esteem issues, and depression. The best part of all of this is that it tackles these issues Ina way that is relatable and doesn't insult the viewer. , Plus the digimon are just super fun. The amount of wacky designs the show has come up with will never cease to make me giggle cause the show doesn't take itself too seriously, but it does treat the villains as what they are, a threat to the characters.
My only real gripe with the show is that things move a little too fast sometimes. In the first 54 episode season seaso, they move through 4 different storylines that easily could have fit into their own 20 episode sagas and been let breathe a little bit more, or even 15 episodes, and it would have benefitted the show because they wouldn't have rushed things so much. On the upside though, this means you there is usually something always happening with the story (there is filler here and there) and it won't get bogged down with taking too long tondo something simple (looking at you pokemon! Why does it take ash an entire episode to catch a pokemon every single time!? It should be more commonplace since it's so easy on the games!)
