So, did you hear that they're releasing a sequel to Digimon? There was a nice article on Anime News Network (ANN) about why Digimon is still popular now, even as its fan base ages.

The mon anime craze hit the U.S. when I was in early elementary school. I also wondered who ripped off of who, but that didn't keep me from liking both (all, if you count Monster Rancher) of them. But after so many years, the one I go back to and have the fondest memories of is Digimon. Actually, I just re-watched parts of the first season and the whole Tamers series again. (While I found myself rolling my eyes at a bit of corniness in 01/Adventure, I still really liked Tamers, even now.) Pokemon was fun, but Digimon had powerful stories and heart.

Now I want to ask you -- Who here is a fan of Digimon? Who's a fan of Pokemon? Who liked both? (What about their oft-times overlooked relative, Monster Rancher?) Excited for Digimon Tri? Share your thoughts! I'd love to hear them!
