Digimon: Digital Monsters Episode 3 Discussion

One thing I've always noticed among the children is how mature some of them are portrayed, such as Sora and Yamato, more than ordinary kids. I'm not knowledgeable about Japanese children myself, but maybe it's a cultural thing. Most Asians are generally more studious, after all.

This also gave way for the writers to insert rather serious discussions normal children wouldn't be discussing, even when they are out in the wilderness, such as survival techniques and the like. I've always been a little proud of how the show inserted such realism in the show, giving the children awareness of the danger they are in instead of being dumb little snots.

Also, this episode (and probably also the previous one) have a number of subtle details in the dialogues that furthered character development, something that's the strongest point of the show. You could see that these kids have emotional issues, and yet they are fun enough of a bunch that the younger audiences would want to hang out with them.

The strong characterisation makes this episode easily my favorite one out of the first three so far. If only all the episodes have as much focus on the characters themselves instead of the goofier and cheesier mythios.

Gosh, this is why I normally hate remastered versions. They usually look worser than the original material, because they make more visually evident all the drawing botches. Original image doesn't look as bad as this one.
