Pros: fairly well written, decent story-line, good for older kids and adults
Cons: extremely violent and dark content. not a good choice for younger children
I have to admit I am torn on exactly what to say on Digimon. I like this show, but I don't really like my 5 year old to watch it. The problem is, she loves this show. As much as She loves Pokemon, maybe even more so.

Digimon is one of the most obvious rip-offs of a previous craze (Pokemon) I have ever seen. Ah yes, the concept of Digimon came out before Pokemon, meaning that what it really copied was Tamagotchi, but bottom line they have copied Pokemon's marketting...
