Digimon
Ruby Chan:
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.
Ruby Chan:
Yeah! Down with narrow minded 'grown up' people!
I really hav to stop eating so much sugar.

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
Nyoko:
*nods* I definitly agree, eventhough I have about five boxes of pokemon cards and no digimon cards whatsoever. lol...
