And you're a Digimon fan? ;)

Chako's not as bad as she could be. Slightly annoying, but not enough to ruin the show in any way.

Howard remains self-centered and useless and fairly cowardly through the whole series. He's just less hateful. With some redeeming qualities. I found all of the character types to be fairly predictable, but in a *good* way, you know? I can't explain it. I just enjoyed every single one of them.
