Digimon Adventure
The original 1999 Digimon Adventure is a finished 54 episode story, so you can begin without worrying about an unresolved ending. Crunchyroll and Hulu are the two places to watch it legally. Its surface is bright, funny monster action, but the series earns its staying power through children learning to handle fear, resentment and responsibility while far from home. The 23 minute episodes make it easy to sample, although the continuing plot rewards watching in order. It suits viewers who want an adventure that takes its young cast seriously without losing its playful side.
About
Seven children leave summer camp behind when they are unexpectedly pulled into the Digital World, a strange place inhabited by Digimon. Each child meets a Digimon partner capable of changing into stronger forms when danger closes in. Their search for a way home soon becomes tied to protecting this unfamiliar world from hostile Digimon. Battles drive the journey forward, while the children must also deal with loneliness, jealousy, guilt and doubts about whether they are loved. Their partners give them strength, but progress depends on the children recognizing their own faults and learning how to trust one another. The premise stays accessible while the serialized story gives its emotional conflicts room to develop.
