It is the original series and the one that has had more impact in the world, created by Akiyoshi Hongo and directed by Hiroyuki Kakudou, this created the scheme that perduro for the next seasons although with some changes, this was undoubtedly a masterpiece of animation, the most resultant of this series was:

Appearance of the Digimon and the chosen children.
Maturation and growth of the characters facing their problems while they travel together.
Attractive soundtrack that reminds us of our childhood every time we listen to it.

Teaching of values.
About the characters:
Let's talk about the characters that through laughter, tears and emotions enchanted us and gave us several afternoons of happiness, these were:
- Tai Yagami: Leader of the group and possibly the most intrepid and energetic, always keeps his head high with a smile as a leader tends to do something lazy and careless but always do what he thinks best for others even if it means delaying his return home, constantly fights with Matt mainly for his opposing personalities and his rivalry, despite being the leader does not tolerate pressure especially when everything falls on his shoulders and has to do everything alone, cares enough for his friends especially for his sister with whom he has a very close relationship.
- Matt Ishida: The lonely boy of the group, does not usually talk much but despite this does not fear to face Tai when this is childish or irresponsible, likes music as it always carries a harmonica is also very close with his younger brother T.K who has trouble seeing due to the divorce of his parents so he is usually a bit overprotective with his brother, never loses an opportunity to compete with Tai and despite their differences became rivals-friends.
- Sora Takenouchi: She is responsible for the group and the mother of all, is always busy helping others and listening when they have problems sometimes worries so much about others that she forgets herself despite this she had a difficult past because she did not have a good relationship with her mother which made her think that she had no love but her friends and Tai especially showed her that this was not true.
- Mimi Tachikawa: She is a capricious and pampered girl who at first only thought about herself but with time she changes and learns the meaning of authentic friendship, she is the one who most affectionately lives in the open air during her time in the digimundo since she constantly complained about not being able to bathe and sleep in a soft bed and she is also very coquettish because she does not hesitate to use her charms to deceive and get what she wants.
- Izzy Izumi: He is the intelligent one of the group and often he is seen investigating everything related to the digimundo because with his computer he is able to decipher all the mysteries that he finds, when he concentrates a lot he tends to ignore the others and tends to be cold and analytical ignoring how the others feel.
- Joe Kido: He is the oldest of the group and therefore responsible for their safety, is always the one who sees the positive side to things and encourages others when they are depressed, his dream is to be a doctor so he always carries bandages and other medical utensils to use in case of emergency.
- T.K (Takaishi Takeru): Is the youngest of the group, before the arrival of Kari, is almost always the most curious of the group but can also be very often crying others spend looking after him and when this only shows vulnerable but over time was maturing and became more independent being brave and cunning, this affects his brother Matt because he felt he was moving away from him.
- Kari Kamiya: Is the last girl chosen to appear, originally she was going to go with her brother to camp but was sick a day before so he had to stay at home, his character is noble and supportive cares for others even more than Sora risking his life in it.
Digimon:
They are creatures created from bits and pieces of information lost in computers, there are all kinds and sizes in the anime are presented to us as companions of the children who are transferred to this mysterious world, the main digimon are:
- Agumon: It is the digimon of Tai, is very gluttonous and childish but can also be brave and relaxed, always follows his companion to all sludge even when this acts strangely, possibly is the slowest and simplest of the digimon, because his mentality regardless of time is that of a small child.
- Gabumon: It's Matt's digimon, maternal and music fanatic always comforts Matt when he feels frustrated by something and supports him in everything unconditionally, cares enough for his partner especially when he hurts himself can also be somewhat shy to express what he feels.
- Piyomon: It is the digimon of Sora, is energetic and very lively always worries about her partner Sora because she knows that she does not take care of herself so she is always protecting and advising her.
- Tentomon: It's Izzi's digimon, it's as curious as he is although he worries when he forgets the others he usually advises his partner every time he gets stuck in a problem. In Japanese dubbing he refers to Izzi as Kochiro-han demonstrating the admiration he has for him.
- Palmon: It is the digimon of Mimi, is very friendly and helpful to others, always helps Mimi and stands by her side as a good friend even when she acts selfishly but are still great friends.
- Gomamon: It's Joe's digimon, always advises his partner and allows him to see things more calmly, is somewhat calm and does not usually get very angry always this for others for when they need it even if his partner does not agree.
- Patamon: It's T.K's digimon, just like his partner has a childish and dependent personality, but as the series progresses he becomes braver and more capable, Patamon by nature is cheerful and playful but that's not all he thinks it can be reasonable and just when the situation requires it. He is extremely faithful to his companion capable of sacrificing himself for him without any remorse.
- Gatomon: It is the digimon of Kari, appearing first as an enemy of the chosen children had no qualms in defeating and humiliating their opponents because despite its harmless form she has the strength and skill of a champion level digimon thanks to the sacred ring on his tail, at first is shown totally serious and helpful to his master Myotismon, but when she meets Kari something begins to grow in her showing that although she and her partner were not reunited as the other chosen children, the bond between partner and digimon is unbreakable, both are great friends Gatomon never misses an opportunity to demonstrate their cunning and originality always takes charge of protecting Kari no matter the risk.
Conclusion:
Digimon is an anime of many colors sometimes it can be happy and simple or complicated and sad everything depends on how you look at it for me this anime symbolizes the best part of my childhood now that I'm an adult those memories seem to fade but never forgotten because I have faith that each person who saw the anime still harbors the feelings and values that digimon taught us in his heart so that someday we can digievolve with them.
