One word - 'Digimon-lite'

Ok, another word ... AVOID ...... if you are over the age of 12 ....

Computer viruses that look like giant sharks swimming in the internet. And the three bits of errant code named Pit, Pot and Pat that Yuta befriends look like Poke wannabes - characters that were rejected because they were not interesting enough.

While the animation is actually good and the characters very cute, the story is stilted to appeal to the youngest of the anime crowd. One episode was enough to send me running.
