More important question, why Izumi as Rachel.  Digimon was a franchise that for the most part distinguished itself with having one or two Action Girls.  Sora in Adventure, Ruki in Tamers, heck even Saver's Yoshino wasn't entirely useless.

Not entirely.  ::)

And then there's Frontier.  And Izumi.  Throughout the entire series she does four things:

1) Wins eating contests, without getting fat (!)
2) Provides the occasional fanservice (!wtf!)
3) Defeats the obnoxiously vain and pathetic girly-girl villian in a terrible sleeping-beauty knock-off episode.
4) Spends the last third+ of the series staying out of the way while "the boys" fight overblown evil incarnate.

I was quite honestly offended.

Seriously, we went from Ruki and Renamon, Bad Ass Incarnate, based off of The Matrix's Trinity no, really to wussypants implied-bulimic creepy jailbait.

Like Rachel?  Not even close.

Yeah. anime. No. CGI. Yes please. :)
Movie. I don't think so. A lot would have to be removed. Plus no "My name is Jake" thing.
Series. Yes. But please, do better than the last time.
Movies could be the Megamorphs + Ending. :P

I'm just a writer, and my main goal was always to entertain. But I've never let Animorphs turn into just another painless video game version of war, and I wasn't going to do it at the end. I've spent 60 books telling a strange, fanciful war story, sometimes very seriously, sometimes more tongue-in-cheek. I've written a lot of action and a lot of humor and a lot of sheer nonsense. But I have also, again and again, challenged readers to think about what they were reading. To th

i think it's a tad overdone.
pixar does it perfectly, but there are way too many CGI movies nowadays.

I have always believed that drawn animation can already do like 90% of what CGI does
and besides it's better at creating breathtaking art.
I really hope more people follow The Princess and the Frog's lead and do more.
It's not like they're from the past.

I've come to the conclusion that CGI can be used effectively in a traditionally-animated context, but it is extremely easy to abuse and I can really only think of a few examples that would be definitely hurt by the removal of CGI.

Dennou Coil was only possible in digital paint.  How else would you animate pixalized watercolor?

Rebuild of Evangelion See those cables?  They're all CGI, so that when the camera moves, they parallax properly and give an amazing sense of depth.  Super shiny.  Once again, the CGI is at its best because the fundamentals (color, composition, design) are perfectly executed.

Animorphs would be extremely expensive to animate without CGI, a little less expensive to animate with, and cheap to animate poorly--with or without CGI.

I don't think anyone would ever drop the money to do it right in any visual medium, so I think I'll stick to the books.
