I was in way implying shounen shows are bad nor that Digimon is, but Digimon is absolutely shounen in everyway, like the thought that it ISN'T doesn't exist. And shounen shows don't have to target an age group.
But all of this is silly, of course the power ups work, they're EVOLUTIONS, literally. A lot of shows have em, if anything Digimons upgrades were too linear, they're the definition of understandable.
And they knew this, which is why they keep changing to armor sidequests, fusion, transformations and all this to keep it going.
All this character development crap you keep saying exists in almost every, if not every, shounen show. Every show out there has the episode or arc dedicated to their character, diving into their brain, having them face something specific to them and then end the end becoming better for them self and the team. Every show has it......
And this movie you speak of, the english one where it was 3 decent japanese movies rolled into 1 terrible ass american one? That move was bad when i was 11 and it's even worse now.....
Wanna see a good version of it? Go watch Summer Wars. Same creator and director, same plot, 100 times better.
@darkwing, im implying that it, and now Black Butler, are only decent series. Trinity Blood had beautiful artwork and good music, but it was starting to grow itself thin even before the anime was over and then the ending was rushed because the creator died.... so i can't even imagine what the manga was like if it kept going thinner.
Black Butler..... ya it's only decent in general, it doesn't get any worse as it goes but it doesn't start off great either. And it's art isn't elegant, at least not the anime.
