The level of understanding differs with age. When I first watched it, I was about 9 or 10. Back then, all I saw was fighting and friendship. Two years later, when I was watching the re-runs, I actually stopped to consider
why each character reacts the way they do in certain situations. I got to know the characters a little better and actually saw how deep the series truly was. To me, Digimon Adventures has always been a series written at 2 different levels. On the surface, it's an anime about fighting and friendship. However, if you bothered to look, the series is so much deeper.
I remember when I was 13, I overheard 2 kids (around the age of 9) talking about how stupid Taichi was for not letting Agumon fight against Piedmon at first, despite Tai's "trump card" comment. It took everything I had to not jump on them.

I'm sure if I could re-watch the series now, I'd pick up a bunch of new things within the series. Ah...how I miss Digimon Adventures... :,3
Anyway, enough about that...
@Fresh_coffee: Ryuki is probably my second favourite pairing in Tamers... I guess that doesn't make me a hard-core Jenruki fan.

Then again, I never said I was.

There are a lot of Junzumi fans out there too. It seems far too one-sided to make me consider this pairing though. I don't mind Kouzumi, because I can somewhat see that happening, but there's Takuya...so...

As for Takumi, at first, I couldn't care less about this pairing. As the series progressed though, they started to remind me of Taiora.

@Kihaku: Isn't TaichixKoushiro, taishiro?
Really? Taito is your fave? I never knew that, always thought it was your second favourite or something.
