lol @ two frown faces for "Messages"

Also.. "sexy stuff" isn't an issue (I assume this means stuff like underwear scenes... gee.. there just wasn't any of that in the first episode)

...I see what you did there.

And notice how those two "Messages" frowny faces are for the gang's chronic subversion of authority. And while the "Consumerism" part laments their cell phone attachment, it doesn't fire any dollar signs (perhaps they managed to catch sight of the Euro coins and made their own inferences on semi-socialized markets?).

So what I'm getting out of this review, blatant miscalculation on "Sexy Stuff" aside, is: "Sure, we'll let you fight digital monsters, just make sure you have a signed permission slip."

I want to yell at the negative people.

Consumerism:Kids are attached to their cell phones.

Er.. well... if that was one of the main tools you used to save humankind... I think you'd kinda regard having it as top-priority... Like a surgeon having a scalpel.

Sexy stuff:Not an issue.

Are you blind... or do you just think your kids are stupid... It's still appropriate though.

Messages:Teachers are sometimes tricked by kids.

How stiff can you be? "Oh yes... I'm the only one who can save the world, but I'm not going to because I must respect my teachers."

Violence & scariness:Kids battle high-tech monsters in cartoon fight scenes.

...In a virtual world where they cannot usually be hurt.

Although the adult role models are easily outsmarted by the main characters, the upside is the respectful friendship that allows the kids to be confident and self-sufficient

Once again... "Well, I am the only one capable of saving the world... but I can't do that because I have to repect my elders."

Ah, OCD people trying to attack everything in a show.

And i find it funny that sexy stuff is not an issue. In some episodes, it does get a little close, at least deserving a star.

I usually smile when one of them tackles the other.
