>>90997920Its not that it was literally dark/for adults or anyhing, just that it tackled some heavy shit for a kids show at the time and didnt seem to talk down to them
Takato has very real fears of guilmon getting shot by police if found, and they actually animated it, for example. Thats something a lot of kids shows would never even mention or show to that degree.
Then you have the fact that in tamers unlike every other digimon season, the digimon dont come back when they die. which was a real wake up call for many kids watching.
Simple stuff like that just sets a very different tone than most kids media does, a lot of people do over-hype but it kinda deserves it, tamers took a lot of chances that left a lot of impressions on its young viewers.
