Digimon is a series that is very special to me. It's an action/adventure anime series about children getting paired up with digital monsters called Digimon.

There are currently eight series of Digimon: Digimon Adventure (THE original), Digimon Adventure Zero Two (the sequel season), Digimon Tamers, Digimon Frontier, Digimon Savers/Digimon Data Squad, Digimon Xros Wars/Digimon Fusion.

Besides the first two, these feature a different set of characters and have their own universes. I will be focusing on Digimon Adventure while also mentioning some of the others.

Power Rangers was a live-action children's series about "teenagers with attitude" who can transform into heroes with super powers. They change into colorful suits that cover their whole bodies and they fight monsters and other villains trying to take over Earth. It is based off of the Japanese show called Super Sentai, and it shares some of the same footage, but the American version is rewritten with different story lines.  The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was the first installment of the series that ran in the early 90s.
