This is really old thread (sorry) but I felt like I should respond. While I don't know many other people my age who read the series, I personally love it. I don't always get the 90's cultural references, I feel like it doesn't take away from the overall experience of the books. I mean we read Animorphs for the cool sifi and characters, not the pop culture references.
I know! Now all the kids are into wand-wielding brats and emo vampires that don't even die in sunlight. What is this world coming to?
Lol, reading that post is kind of funny. Especially since now the Twilight craze died and has been dead for a while. I remember when that was popular back in 4th grade.
Those were the stupid days...
