Digimon: Digital Monsters

Pros: Imaginative and intelligent
Cons: Scary and violent

As an elementary teacher, I am not in favor of too much television, although there is some high-quality kids'programming out there. I am sick unto death of hearing about Pokemon, which, while not inherently bad of itself, has been shoved at kids so much...

Pros: Highly ADDICTIVE
Cons: Confusing story line for kids under 6

Digimon is another animated cartoon that has grabbed all the kids attention and parents are now not able to stop their kids from watching this highly addictive show. And now with the new movie coming out, parents can expect to dish out some cash to take...

Pros: Action filled, Good Animation, Good always win
Cons: a lot of fighting, too many different Digimon

Hi. My name is Brenda and my son is Digimon addict. I almost feel like I should be in therapy because of this. I spent years trying to guide him away from this type of show. "PBS is our friend", I've told him. But, he had to grow up. He had to...

Pros: None
Cons: Does not hold the interest of it's targeted audience

My kids were flipping channels and stopped at Fox to see what was on. It was a show called Digimon. All I could think was "What is this?".

It seems that after the hit that Pokemon was, producers decided it was time to strike again....

Pros: None.
Cons: Complete ripoff of Pokemon. Teaches kids to become mindless copycats.

Digimon is 100% a money-grubbing Pokemon ripoff. It probably took somewhere between 2-5 minutes for the creators of Digimon to write the first few episodes. The characters are very similar, the episodes are almost exact copies, and the...

Pros: Funny writers, awesome music, and a lot of plot and character development.
Cons: A lot of people think it's a ripoff of pokemon and won't give it a chance

The Digimon toy (and the show) entered Japanese markets in 1991, four years before the Pokemon game boy game was released, or even really talked about for that matter. There were several sequals made of the toy and each added new digimon monsters for...

Pros: The realistic relationship between Matt and his brother. New plots are easier to swallow
Cons: bad animation, bad voice acting, bad rip-off (okay, it's getting better.)

UPDATE: I wrote this a year ago, and the show has improved. (The movie has MUCH better animation, for one thing.) The human characters are more interesting, the Digimon are better formed and, Ummm Digi-volved, than last year. The voice acting is much...

Pros: Suitable for the whole family. Well written and conceived.
Cons: Not on enough.

My husband and I sat down and viewed this program as a lark. Our other guilty pleasure is of course Pokeman. This compares favorably with Pokeman as far as character development and variety of monsters and powers. The compelling hero's such as Tigh and...

Pros: Joe is hilarious
Cons: very confusing

I am nearly certain I spelled that wrong, but who's keeping track? That's one qualm I have with this show: the Digimon's names are so ridiculously long! Of course, that is only when these Digimon are ridiculously huge. Instead of evolving gradually like...

Pros: Great characters and character development, great plot.
Cons: So-so voice acting, annoying music, corny jokes, battles can get violent in the second half of the show.

Note: This is an attempt to give an unbiased review on Digimon: Digital Monsters. This is my first review and I would really appreciate it if people could give me pointers and advice. To those that wish to know, I have watched the entire first season...

Pros: Inventive, fresh, sophisticated storyline and characters; beautifully executed animated series; memorable musical score.
Cons: Too dark for younger children; and story gets too complicated at times to make heads or tails out of.

I love Saturday morning cartoon shows and will sometimes spend an entire Saturday morning-- from 8 am to one in the afternoon-- watching them. However, When Digimon, a new animated series, debuted last year on Fox, I did everything I could to avoid what...

Pros: Fun, exciting, and addictive
Cons: Extremely cheesy, also a ripoff of Pokemon

Where can I start on Digimon? I was told by a friend of mine towatch this monumentally bad show on FOX called Digimon. It was the cheesiest dang thing I had ever seen in my entire life. "Geez that's is HORRIBLE!!!!!" I told my friend the next...

Pros: Digimon battles, digivolving and story
Cons: Mimi's annoying, yet somewhat cute voice

Many people (mainly pokemon fans) say that Digimon is a rip-off. The digimon pendulums appeared before the pokemon games, and following the monster anime craze, they made a show. Sure the characters have big hands and the CGs kind of suck, but...

Pros: makes kids have an overactive mind
Cons: junky ripoff

Pokemon is a pretty cool concept. I respect how into it kids get and that it is pretty creative and even kind of trippy sometimes. I'm not a huge Pokemon fan, being 18 years old and all, I think my friends would probably frown on it. But I would...

Pros: When I find any, I'll let you know...
Cons: Where do I begin?

Well, after picking up my cousin from school one afternoon (who is a 10 year old, snot-nosed kid attending elementry school) I was rather taken aback by the most unusual arguement two older kids could ever have... and from my brief estimate and size up,...
